  1. Surely Cleveland can’t sustain getting weak contact infield hits this season right?

  2. 💔💔💔😔 Tough loss, but hey, it wasn’t our best game. We’re still leading the division and showing our dominance! 😎🏆 Sometimes luck just isn’t on our side, but we’ll bounce back stronger than ever. 💪🔥 Keep the faith, Twins fans! The road to victory has its bumps, but we’re still the team to beat (in this division)! 💙⚾️💙⚾️💙⚾️

  3. Twins Projected Season Wins Tracker:

    The Twins are now on pace to win 85 games.

    Editorial: Sonny deserves better support.

  4. Again, couldn’t do shit offensively. This team is diseased. Beat Cleveland tomorrow though, and it’s a really solid week of baseball.

  5. The Castro lineout double play that could have easily been a 2-run single, followed up by Sonny giving up his first homer of the year was a brutal sequence.

  6. Offense was too reminiscent of the dark times. Sort things out and come back tomorrow with Dick back on the call.

  7. Is it a truly Just world that we live in if we cannot sweep the Cleveland Ians, bros?

  8. This loss was 100% the fault of the announcers not shutting up the whole game about how Sonny hadn’t given up a homerun.

  9. Wth is wrong with Lopez? Ultimately the run he gave up was meaningless, but Jesus Christ. He either strikeouts everyone he sees or is literal dogshit.

    Is his composure on the field just that bad? Seems to have a big snowball effect in his game.
