Yeah, let's get this out of the way now, so when we lose in October it's only because of the pitching that they didn't trade to help.

Man I hope these Bumgarner/Will Smith rumors gain traction

Honestly as long as they don't trade Lewis or Kirilloff I don't care who they give up to get them.

Yeah I’m pretty sure those two are untouchable unless Nationals tell us they will give up Scherzer.

Those guys ain’t getting moved for a rental and/or reliever!

I read some people are talking about the Twins going after Trevor Bauer... Not sure how realistic that is.

Damn I haven’t really read that much but I’d be down with it if they didn’t ask too much.

Would be interesting to see how he fit here. Bauer is a guy who throws 115 pitches no problem.

Rocco yanks guys when they hit 90

I like Bauer because he's not just a couple month rental.

O yeah I’d be way in. I just feel like he’s gonna cost a lot

And he’s due arbitration again. So idk if we will have the balls to trade and pay.

I’d love to get the guy tho.

These at bats are borderline mental

Porcello is laughing in our face

26 pitches to get 8 outs with 4 straight Ks

Really not sure how that’s even possible. But we’ve managed it

Berrios is hot. That's nice to see. Especially against this team.

Meh he has a career 4.27 era and he’s sucked this year

He had a cy young year yes.

This is an absolutely abysmal approach by every hitter tonight

Agreed. The biggest issue I see from us is our not being able to capitalize on our opportunities. A big part of that are our shitty at bats. There are next to no productive outs. Lots of pussy pop ups and strike outs. They have to sharpen up their approach at the plate. Make each swing count.

We can’t hit any starter pitcher who makes a living off mixing pitches up.

Porcello is another guy who doesn’t over power you and we look like we have no fucking clue how to approach the AB

Cruz swings through everything in the key spots.

Cruz is disappointing me. He is missing badly.

OK tough guys. Show us some macho home run hitting. Times a running out. It looks like the word is out on how to approach this Twins line up. They had better make their own adjustments or they are through. The good teams wont let them get off the ground.
