My god. And to think we thought last night’s loss was devastating,… 

[tony&rodney]

There is another game tomorrow.

Sad to say but the decision to not use Duffey or Thornburg means they have no purpose unless the game is a blowout in either favor. That doesn't work.

No it doesnt

[cHawk]

Welp.

This team not proving to be very smart.

This loss stings. 10 runs wasn’t enough for a win. 2 blown leads by the pen. Seemingly no internal options to help keep the bullpen afloat until trades become a reality.

Yes he is because of his worthless decisions 

[Mander]

Just embarrassing.

[h2oface]

Maybe Baldy will let Pagan and Jax pitch again tomorrow. Go for 3 in a row. Throw balker Thielbar in there, too.

[RpR]

When the Dodgers blew out the Twins in the eigth inning was warning of thing to come.

[Aggies7]

The twins would be foolish to deal high prospects for anyone who wouldn’t contribute beyond this year

[Montdak]

Yeah nice if we had Rogers in the pen instead of a rehab starter candidate who blew out his arm first thing.

[AceWrigley]

Choke.

No one is selling right now. Gonna have to remain afloat for the next month with internal options. 

In that case, we're in a world of hurt, because, IMHO, we're sorely lacking in viable internal options.  Doesn't matter if you're talking pitching or hitting.

You mean managing?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Heaven forbid we insert Buxton as a defensive replacement on one of his days off.

[LVTwinsfan]

Twins fans are intelligent, small crowd at the ballpark tonight, it’s going to get smaller very quickly

[tony&rodney]

In other news, I must say that even in defeat Surly's Furious is really delicious. 

The Twins will rebound but Falvey needs to get back from vacation. For those who have ever said 2022 is not the year for the Twins consider that next year all teams play a balanced schedule. The Twins are set to win the division with just a couple of moves. This can be a starter and a reliever or two relief pitchers.

Nor very good under any form of duress.

Ball goes under first baseman glove; outfielder hits fence before ball gets there, left fielder has a weak arm and instead of charging the ball wait for it to get to him.

Poor fielding a Twins trade-mark.

yup.

And how about the bonehead ump call missing the bounce? The spirits are not on our side.

[Twodogs]

Welcome to 2nd place

[William K Johnson]

I can't watch anymore of this.

 

[RpR]

The Big Show is not where rookies should be learning; we need some veterans to fill holes.

Sano will be no worse at first than Kirilloff and is a threat to pitchers because of what he can do, even if he does not.

The PLAN.

The PLAN.

[Parfigliano]

Bullpen 7 earned runs from 7th inning on tonight.

In the words of Steven Tyler….Dream on

This is a common line but let us all know who exactly is a high prospect. FWIW, Royce Lewis would no longer be considered a prospect because the league knows his experience at the major league level. If you are talking about players on the 26 person roster or Lewis, maybe there is a point. The Twins are not going to give up a bunch of prospects for a nobody. We don't need to worry about Falvey trading our five favorite prospects for some loser relief pitcher.

[Aggies7]

I honestly feel bad for pagan. Could have been a great turnaround night but his manager was asleep at the wheel and it turned into another very negative outing
