GOOD MORNING TWINS FANS!! What a great day to be a fan of this Minnesota Twins team. They are finally the darlings of Pythagoras (I never thought he'd come around), and they have come through like a L

The Twins scored 15 more runs in the 3 game series, and lost 2 of 3. Pitching was given the lead 2 times today and gave it back the very next half inning. This is a bad loss. I would take the reverse, and suck up the 17-0 stat padding drubbing any day of the week.

And...those of you excusing Falvine for not getting any help can thank them for seeing Giminez and Adrianza hitting in the 9th with the tying run on second.

 

Falvine isn't making the decision to send those guys to the plate in that inning.  Castro couldn't bat for Gimenez?  Better yet, Gimenez couldn't get a freakin bunt down?  What the hell good has he been since Castro went out other than throwing out a couple of baserunners?  Zero.  Average back below 200 and auditioning for Thunder Down Under with that stupid unbuttoned shirt look.  I don't have as much of a problem with Adrianza batting there but then, I wouldn't have batted for Kepler either in the 8th.

Obviously two wins is better than one. But we were not mathematically eliminated today, and there are several big baseball markets right now saying "a chance to gain a game on the Twins." It's about time!

That is correct.

 

A 1.5-game lead in the wild card with 26 left to play? Sounds good to me. This is going to be a fun ride.

Don't look now, but the Angels have scored twice in the 9th at Texas, and have the tying run at 2nd with 1 out.

Make that the tying run at 3rd with two out and the bases loaded. 

 

 

Edit: Texas holds on to win.

Huge loss today.

 

I didn't get to watch the game. But, is there a reason why Giminez and Adrianza were allowed to hit with a runner on second in the ninth when down by one?

This team will not make the playoffs. I offered 5 to 1 on that a couple weeks ago then they were about 35%. I'd still give that.

Giminez was bunting. That failure is on him. Frankly, I like Adrianza's chances of getting a base hit over Vargas or Granite- the only other logical candidates. If the Twins had been down two runs, then I think you see Vargas. You are at home. You play for the tie.

Make sure you tuck and roll as you fall off the bandwagon.  However, road rash can be a real biatch.  Great fan, btw.
