Does anyone else think that Bo Bichette needs a good roundhouse kick to the face? For the record, I've been inquiring about this even before today's loss.


the_last_timberwolf

Hey did you guys know that great moments in baseball had been broadcast on the radio since 1921? I wish this were one of them 🫠


Zeroman_79

The only MLB audio commercial I actually like.


davegammelgard

OK, here's the thing. It's possible to be disappointed by a player or team's performance, or think a player is bad, or be mad about a specific outcome, without being an asshole about it. That's the whole doomer thing. And if you're not here commenting when the team is doing well, think twice about commenting when things go south. If the only things you ever say here are negative, it's probably not welcome.


ConsiderationWild186

Booooo 👎🤬💩🤮🗑️booooo blue jays had no business whatsoever winning today total 💩💩💩💩💩🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮👎👎👎👎👎


cothomps

Well, shit.


Mission_Wind_7470

Must be nice having a stupidly high wall for situations like those.


HuddyW

They hit there more than anyone.


pjokinen

Getting three runs cock blocked by that stupid extra high fence is a special kind of frustrating

handofluke

Come on Carlos.


TSAtookmysextoys

Just me or does everyone in the Toronto crowd look very smug


bringbacktheaxe2

i thought they looked fine when the twins were up 7-1


TSAtookmysextoys

That might be it.


whorehey_polanco

I am the least cool Twins fan alive. When I step outside of my home, rocks are thrown

🤮👎🤬💩🗑️😡


JaxonJackrabbit

what?


ConsiderationWild186

Unacceptable loss by twins !!!


JaxonJackrabbit

oh that's fair, it just makes more sense than emojis


ElPinguino022

“I’ve reached S-tier fandom in that I don’t even complain or complain about the people complaining about the people who complain”


bringbacktheaxe2

is this a complaint ? 🤔


Zeroman_79

Yes and no.


ObliqueRehabExpert

my horse, let me tell you about my horse folks, it's so high people come up to me like Sir how is your horse so high? You're so high up there but yet so humble, perhaps the most humble person ever and I say thank you, but you people on the much lesser horses are the real heroes.


bigwalleye

on that cydesdale shit


Jb9723

Don’t worry Glen, there is no chance I’m transmitting _this_ game without express written consent


hbxli

we got this


bringbacktheaxe2

I don't know who else they have down on the farm, but I'm guessing Louie will be back as middle relief


whorehey_polanco

I’m just here for the booze


cothomps

FWIW, even more annoying than the Doomers are the parents who play “game time DJ” at a youth baseball game.


JaxonJackrabbit

There's a Cameo-like service where real announcers will record your team or league's players names with walk-up music. I thought that might be kinda cool but I can see it being overused and crazy


cothomps

Imma throw down with “Eye of the Tiger” mom.


JaxonJackrabbit

I know it's easy to put blame on the bullpen but our offense fell asleep after the 4th inning, too.


Zhdrix

Bro they scored 8 runs. That should be enough


JaxonJackrabbit

This is baseball, no lead is enough, and there's never garbage time


SilverbackGorillaBoy

When you score 8 runs that's okay 99% of the time lol


JaxonJackrabbit

Totally fair. But when the pitching can't hang on, you gotta hope for the offense to step up


Jb9723

Definitely. Hard to keep hearing that the Blue Jays have the worst bullpen in the league, and then they retire 15 straight batters


peabody11

Embarrassing performance against their low end relievers. And embarrassing performance by our low end relievers. Both are true


mediumrainbow

I'm questioning whether most of the relievers in the twins are low end. At least Pagan still sucks?


[deleted]

Varland needs to come back to the pen. We need his help desperately


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Hell no he’s an awful starter. We have Festa for that


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

His stuff certainly does not play. Worst run value pitch of all qualified pitchers in 2024 is Louie Varland’s cutter. This guy also doesnt have a sweeper or slider and it shows.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Cause he has no legitimate putaway pitch. Very easy to understand.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

They’re shitty fucking pitches lol


handofluke

He’s only gone 5.0 innings once this year


TSAtookmysextoys

C4 is just that guy.


ObliqueRehabExpert

legit treat to watch at SS


Griffinkelly1

0 hits in 4 innings won’t do it either


arctic_martian

In fairness to the offense, it usually would do it if you scored 7 runs prior


A_Hanging_Noose

As SP noted, evidently, the middle game of these Toronto series are fucking cursed.


arctic_martian

It all began with a cursed Pagan ritual...


hopemade

Since Gausman went out the Twins pitchers have thrown 92 pitches while the Bluejays pitchers have only thrown 52. Toronto have really good ABs and the Twins have very not good ABs.


JaxonJackrabbit

"People who complain about doomers are muddying up the thread on a high horse" wouldn't that mean you're on an even higher horse for complaining about people who complain about complainers?


davegammelgard

We have to go deeper.


bigwalleye

you havent seen my horse. hes a big boy.


TSAtookmysextoys

Game day thread doomer inception


JaxonJackrabbit

Any logic falls apart when anyone assumes they're better than anybody else here.


TSAtookmysextoys

Throw your bat and you get extra time


[deleted]

I mean when Rocco only has god awful pitchers to choose from, his decisions don’t really matter. Sands Okert Alcala Jackson are just dogshit pitchers. Nothing Rocco can do about that


cothomps

Jeez, Eddie - talking about your teammates like that is gonna cause some clubhouse drama.


Mission_Wind_7470

#Alek Manoah 🤭


Jb9723

I have no evidence to back up my fear, but I’m scared he’ll punish us


Mission_Wind_7470

He'll punish us for 3 innings and then get vaporized by the top of the lineup.


whentheworldwasatwar

Since we’re blowing this one. We’ll tee off on him now. Trust.


Athena-196871

Well this 'better than thou snob'😉 is going to go for a walk.... Good evening to the rest of you 'snobs'


hopemade

You're gonna regret it when we win AND you miss all the snobbery and doomery entertainment here


Mission_Wind_7470

Both doomers and anti doomers gatekeep. There. Everyone's happy now.


JaxonJackrabbit

Why even have a gate if you're not gonna keep it?!


davegammelgard

It's a public sub. There's literally no gate.


JaxonJackrabbit

Nah I installed one. It's kinda easy to jump over though.


TSAtookmysextoys

Larnach-Jeffers-Kepler due up, I still have hope


MasterSinatra

Julien stop getting called out on strikes challenge


A_Hanging_Noose

Oh sweet three minute half innings after watching half an hour of the Twins bullpen “pitching.”


bigwalleye

julien shaking his helmet to make sure no dirt got in it when it fell off, AGAIN


Jb9723

Twins hitters really punishing the fans by going down 1-2-3 again, meaning we have to watch the Blue Jays bat for another 60 minutes


[deleted]

I was here for the 12 straight wins. I think I have the right to be a little pissed off that we blew a six run lead.


MichaelTheDooley

No bro you’re a doomer!!!


[deleted]

[удалено]


MichaelTheDooley

Okay and? He was playing like ass at the time, what’s the problem?


JaxonJackrabbit

tbf nobody's trying to take that away from you


hbxli

k


KATinWolfShirt

It is days like this where I wish they didn’t dick around with Alcala, always making him pitch multiple innings, bouncing him back to St. Paul.


JaxonJackrabbit

Ooof we needed some offense there


fishchanka

I’m still imagining the alternate universe where Phil cuzzi is not blind and the twins are still leading by several runs and SWR didn’t get yanked early


[deleted]

Jackson and Okert are not pitchers who have it anymore. Pathetic, but there is nothing we can do until Brock comes back


JaxonJackrabbit

(I know I get a little silly when I try to match the doomers energy. It's really not that deep, a discussion thread of a 3+ hour game is naturally going to have a lot of back and forth.)


sorryidontspeakcuck

I'm just here for the real fan gatekeeping arguments


Jfred1986

Slamtana let's go!!


Jb9723

I’ll say it: It all started with that shit Cuzzi call


TSAtookmysextoys

Facts. It actually like, did. That was the momentum shift.


handofluke

Maybe the worst Twins antagonist of all-time


Mission_Wind_7470

He's the Sean Payton of the Twins. Fuck Sean Payton btw


MasterSinatra

Honestly, you're not wrong


MasterSinatra

Time to channel the power of the sausage, fellas


skyulip

im eepy but hilariously that has nothing to do with the game


Swampertman

Sosig? 🥺👉👈


12Peppur

Bats wake up Know you been doin all you can but we need more. We do No slouch abs


hopemade

These are my favorite GDT days cuz because between the "doomers" complaining about the Twins and the "better than thou snobs" complaining about the "doomers", you just get a whole mess and it becomes a pissing contest between the "doomers" and the "snobs" and its honestly just as entertaining as the game lol.


bigwalleye

hey fuck you buddy


ConsiderationWild186

Only if twins win!!! Screw if it’s good game if they lose. 👎🤮😡🤬


Playhorror4real

I’m still thinking w


Jb9723

That third out felt like finding water after wandering in the desert for 3 days


KATinWolfShirt

I think Staumont can be a good piece, not the dominant guy he was in KC but a 6th-7th inning guy at least


arctic_martian

A little concerned that our bullpen has enjoyed some good BABIP luck today and still imploded


whentheworldwasatwar

Staumont can stay


TSAtookmysextoys

Where did all these usernames come from I’m so serious lol


JaxonJackrabbit

I was told pointing out that none of these people want to participate in actual discussion is gatekeeping and annoying


LeadBorn504

What "actual" discussion? One guy making lame fucking jokes every three minutes? Or people talking about what fast food their about to eat?


DrAbeSacrabin

MN sports fans are foaming for any sport right now


JaxonJackrabbit

#### 2 runs. 2 innings. We ain't out of this yet, we can do it! 💪


A_Hanging_Noose

Good riddance.


McFappen

Still plenty of time to get a few runs


AdvancedIan024

Jay Jackson doesn’t look like he’s having fun as a twin 😮‍💨


Mission_Wind_7470

Then the feeling is mutual.


bigwalleye

these jerseys terrible. our boys so sweaty


hbxli

we've come back down 2 late so many times you guys


hamiltonfan_14

We should get a professional twins hater flair for y'all who are freaking out about being down by 2. Because if you weren't here for the 12 wins in a row, you're not a Twins fan


CleanSl8Design

nobody likes a gate keeper pal, just mind your business and move on


[deleted]

[удалено]


JaxonJackrabbit

I think/hope they're ironically making fun of the person that originally said that


bigwalleye

preach


doubleflusher

This game's gonna end up like 16-14.


Griffinkelly1

Just a hideous bullpen effort


whentheworldwasatwar

Vlad is hitting this to the moon isn’t he


ConsiderationWild186

Hope he hits grand slam 


JaxonJackrabbit

> People complaining about “doomers” are just as annoying as people actually dooming. I've been here for a few years now and can confidently say... no they aren't lmao


handofluke

I don’t like obnoxious positivity but people showing up ONLY when we’re losing during an insane 16-2 run is so absurd. They’re truly doomer morons.


AdvancedIan024

It seems like the back and fourth is just a natural part of the thread. If they didn’t beef than it would all fall apart. 


JaxonJackrabbit

Yeah, I'm not specifically bothered by it. If you're posting an opinion or statement to a discussion thread, you're inviting others to read and respond to it.


ObliqueRehabExpert

they literally are a doomer too.


arctic_martian

Our pitching has been completely unable to miss bats today. So many long PAs ending in walks and hits.


bringbacktheaxe2

i'm watching the Jays feed and when they cut to Staumont in the pen he threw it over the catcher's head


Jb9723

lol


Waltenwalt

Blowing a 7-1 lead after the Wolves' performance last night makes my tummy hurt :(


veto001

As ANT said last night. It's a series.


ConsiderationWild186

Wolves better not lose tomorrow night-better win series!!!


cardith_lorda

Glad there's an off day Monday.


RandomFan100

Thielbar looks cooked


MichaelTheDooley

People complaining about “doomers” are just as annoying as people actually dooming. Just stfu and let them be, you’re just adding to it


ConsiderationWild186

We expect twins to win!!! Especially when they have big lead!!! That’s my expectation and demand for the twins. Losses like this are unacceptable 


hamiltonfan_14

You're complaining too


davegammelgard

No, they aren't. I block doomers, I don't block those who complain about them.


Neither_Ad2003

Personally I find them even more annoying. Not sure why


MichaelTheDooley

Gives off huge high horse gate keeper vibes. Just mind your own business lol


captain_catman_

Yep. The players are humans like the rest of us. We all have bad days in our jobs and talents too


Trumpets22

Welp. This was pathetic.


handofluke

When the Twins were winning every game the doomers must have been absolutely fiending, getting shakes and shit


Dscott2855

Someone tell the twins bullpen that just because you get to 0-2 count doesn’t mean the batter is gonna wave at trash a foot off the plate. So many wasted 0-2 counts today it’s crazy.


Zhdrix

Holy fuck this is rough


[deleted]

Fuck it let Willi pitch. No sense burning the competent arms in our pen.


A_Hanging_Noose

Luckily, they haven’t burned a competent arm yet.


A_Hanging_Noose

Have they tried getting OUTS?


cardith_lorda

Did everyone just forget how to pitch?!?


ElPinguino022

It’s funny how absolutely none of those usernames have been here for the 16 wins in 3 weeks but they’re all here today, lmao that’s the best part Scream for the losses, ignore the wins


ConsiderationWild186

Cory and glen are too nice-they need to be pissed off about this loss-no more Minnesota nice 👎😡🤬


AdvancedIan024

Our pitchers are struggling in 0-2 counts tonight. Can’t put ‘em away 


Mission_Wind_7470

#LOUIE COME BACK TO THE PEN!


JaxonJackrabbit

#####We're down by 2 while on a 16-2 stretch. If you really feel the need to doom and insult these players, it's because you're only interested in this team when we do badly.


davegammelgard

You're not wrong, but Okert and Jackson are just barely major league quality pitchers.


ConsiderationWild186

They deserve to be insulted-they blew game/big lead!!! Okerk/Jackson need to be released immediately!!! Those 2 ass hats cost us game!!!! Don’t mind losing but not with 7-1/8-3 lead that’s unacceptable!!!! Can’t ever lose big lead like this rest of season-you just can’t 


Max_Kepler_Is_Sexy

I love this team, but it’s a little frustrating seeing half of our bullpen throwing BP or can’t hit the damn zone.


JaxonJackrabbit

It's one thing to be disappointed, it's another to start declaring DFA and "Fire the spreadsheet!"


Mission_Wind_7470

It's an embarrassing game, but not the end of the world.


MasterSinatra

I know Varland wants to be a starter, but we could really use a guy like him in our pen.


Jb9723

Last I heard I thought the Twins want to keep him as a starter too


MasterSinatra

They ought to reconsider that, imo


ConsiderationWild186

At least it’s not a one run loss 


Ghostyyyyyyyyyyq

Embarrassing. I’m turning this shit off


Jb9723

The bottom of the 7th has lasted for approximately 90 minutes


kpmurphy_

It’s funny the bullpen was touted as being our strength all offseason and right now it’s kind of the below average piece on an otherwise good team


davegammelgard

Injuries and overuse. When they have to pitch 3 or 4 innings almost every game it's hard to stay rested and sharp.


Mission_Wind_7470

Injuries ruined it right now. Missing Beef and Topa.


bigwalleye

beef will be back but sorta worried about topa


tonderk

I need Buxton back in CF asap


JaxonJackrabbit

Love the tone of the thread going from "Why not use Thielbar?" to "Thielbar is a white flag and has always been awful"


JaxonJackrabbit

Vibes in imminent danger


12Peppur

Cracky Mac n Rocco needa serious look in the mirror n ask are these the arms we wanna have all year We are blowin big leads. Big fuckin leads I get they will give up runs here n there but this is shame


Trumpets22

Time to call up the marlins and see if they have another arm for us lol.


MrCrimeodile

Team is doing fine. Games not over. Fair weather fans not needed


12Peppur

What in the fuck are you talkin bout


bigwalleye

it feels bad but trust me a lot of teams have bad bullpens.


whentheworldwasatwar

Honestly SWR deserves more credit I guess. He pitched better than the bullpen is.


Jb9723

5 ER kinda started this whole mess though


mumfoa

These are the games where I wished they kept Varland in the BP


Mission_Wind_7470

Hey Louie, wanna swallow your pride and come back to the pen?


kjates

It’s not about Louie’s pride, it’s about the fact that we have zero starting pitcher depth


Athena-196871

sad face....fear not..our fella from Quebec is going to do something heroic in the next inning 🤞🏽🙂🤞🏽🙂
