Watch: David Ortiz, A-Rod turn Twins into joke about Target, Uber
As if no playoff wins in 5,478 days and 15 straight postseason losses, including 12 at the hands of the Yankees, isn't enough, Minnesotans watching Saturday's 8-2 loss to the Yankees had to suffer through FOX Sports 1's broadcast crew make the Twins the punchline of a joke.
A funny joke at that:
David Ortiz: "I tell you what [Rocco] Baldelli is going to be doing tomorrow. He's going to be at Target trying to get the next pitcher for the third game."
Alex Rodriguez: "Well if Uber didn't work out, maybe Target will."
It was a reference to the Twins using Randy Dobnak, a former Uber driver, as the starting pitcher in the Game 2 loss. It didn't go well, as Dobnak was rocked for four runs on six hits and two walks in just two innings.
Game 3 is Monday in Minneapolis at 7:40 p.m. No word if Jake Odorizzi has worked at Target before, but he's scheduled to pitch with the Twins needing a win to keep their season alive.
