Nope. This game is just an example. Look at his stats in the playoffs and other big games. Dude just doesn't perform under pressure.

Dude was fantastic in the playoffs last year.

Dick just continuing with the excuses. Thankfully LaTroy isn’t like Justin who played right along

We have 3 maybe 4 guys that can hit... Buxton, Cruz, Donaldson and Arraez... When you look at the rest of the roster, there is really nothing there that scares me.  Free swinging Tortuga is a one hit wonder and teams will not give him much to swing at first couple pitches per at bat. Scouting reports will make this his game comical. Garver and Jeffers on a strict platoon won't work.  There is something about rotating every other game just won't do it.  The rest of the guys aren't bringing anything to the table that makes me say, yep this team will score runs in bunches.  1-0 deficits feels like 5-0

This might be our super bowl moment..I'm expecting no less than 5 runs this inning

 

Minnesota and super bowl moments really haven't had the best relationship

“They’re playing tough teams” is a gem of an excuse

yeah, by tough teams, they mean "doing well 15 games in." Angels will be good, but that was only one loss. Oakland won't make the playoffs, nor will Seattle. Red Sox are 50/50.

To be a postseason contender, you have to be able to beat good teams.
