It looks the the summer of our discontent is settling in on this 2023 Twins team. Third worst record since May 1 (behind the Royals and A's), 23 games under .500 since 2021, etc. But what's worse the Twins are just playing bad unfun baseball. Bonehead plays in the field, stupid baserunning, poor approaches at the plate, head-scratching match-ups and moves by the manager, former Twins tearing up the league in new uniforms. If the Twins were in any other division other that the AL Central, we'd be GOSOing the team already. Oof.
Bailey Ober on the mound tonight and he's been a nice little addition to the starting rotation. 0.99 WHIP, almost a K per inning. Looks like he could be a positive contributor for years to come. Kutter Crawford -- who has a name that should have been given to a minor character in Field of Dreams -- is "starting" for the Sox, but it looks like this may be a bullpen game for them.
First pitch at 6:40. Should be toasty warm at the ballpark if you head out.
It's sad that a 2-0 deficit in the fourth feels like something the Twins won't be able to come back from.
lead off double is stranded, they are changing it up because it usually been a single that has been stranded
There was a time when the Twins scored more runs in the first inning than they're managing in an entire game now
This game is not inspiring.
Watching last inning, I just kind of shook my head at Rocco PHing for his best hitter against the lefty, but leaving Gallo in.
I guess that's why he makes the big bucks....
I'm thinking I have better things to do....
Kepler's RF play has been about as good as his hitting of late.

Watching the PBS News hour, because it is more inspiring and positive than the game ....
I doubt it makes any difference, but it feels like the type of team that needs to rattle some cages soon.
