Absolutely brutal.

 

See what the A's did with their chance in the 9th.

 

Look how the Twins blew theirs.

 

Awful loss and this team was outplayed by a better team today. Again, nothing from the front office to address the glaring weaknesses. Another day goes by, more crickets from Falvine.

Not sure why Baldelli wasted Rosario. They walk Cave anyway. His run means nothing.

 

Absolutely. Makes no sense.

The 2019 Liam Hendriks is not the 2013 Liam Hendriks.

 

LIAM HENDRIKS! is, and will always be..... Liam Hendriks. Thanks for that. It makes it all better. NOT.

Teams playing well find ways to win these games and teams not playing well find ways to lose these games.

 

Easy to guess which one is Oakland and which one is us.

 

SIGH!

Bases loaded in the 8th and 9th. Can't hit Liam Hendriks! LIAM HENDRIKS!

 

I'd point out he's an All-Star, but frankly I think it's smoke and mirrors. The guy's nothing special. That said, the Twins did hit him, but man Garver needed to elevate his ball on that last play. A grounder was just not going to get it done.

 

Oakland players and fans must be absolutely thrilled to see how this game ended. Would be nice if the Twins would stat adding insurance and stop relying on solo shots. Three HRs today, all solo once again. Pitiful.

 

This team is looking more and more like those White Sox teams from a few years ago that had 3-4 guys with 30+ HR but slightly below .500 record.

 

By golly this one burns.

Another 0 for 6 game for RISP, hitters are only good for solo HRs. Bullpen blows two different leads.

 

This team just doesn't look good. We certainly won't be winning any games in October playing like this.

 

(Ironically, Schoop, the guy who's been ragged on for choking in clutch situations, did exactly what he needed to tonight - a big sac fly and a double against the A's best pitcher. But of course the team finds away to squander his efforts!)

Absolute garbage. Quickly running out of optimism. And Berrios can be very good but he is not an ace.

Bad way to lose a ball game. Everyone involved from front office down has to look deep down and determine what they could have done to make this a different outcome.

A double play grounder shouldn't happen off of Liam Hendricks. He's a hard-throwing strike-out type of pitcher these days.

 

The Twins are going through a patch where they just cannot catch a break.

 

For instance, early in the game, the batter obviously went, yet the 1 base ump called no swing. Berrios' pitch count climbed after that.

 

And again, the Twins just couldn't seem to find the third out.

 

A bunch of little things are going wrong and it's just enough to cost the Twins these games.
