So neither Fulmer or Lopez have been impressive since coming here. Sigh.

They are putting Fulmer in already? Who will they put in at the end of the game?

It won't matter.

[srjr19]

Add Fulmer to the list of pitchers this staff has put their mark on.

I rarely watch Vikings game any more, so no decision for me.

I understand, but it’s just difficult to watch this team anymore and especially this manager.

[IndyTwinsFan]

It's all but over now.

[HokieRif]

Just tuned in to see Fulmer give up the single, an awful throw by Cave, and a nearly disastrous throw to third...

[cHawk]

I’m not sure what it’s going to take for this team to make it into the postseason next year. It’s looking less & less likely that they’ll make it in this year.

I just hope they make the necessary changes for next year

[Winston Smith]

Not many tails battled off today.

Hear Perkins, ? and Cave with a strong throw home

[Doctor Gast]

WOW! good play!

Not sure what game he's watching... Leon had to run 10 ft up the line to get it

Especially with an offense (and pitching) as utterly putrid as this team has.

Given the results over the past few years, maybe making minimal changes is in order.

The throw beat the runner but was off-line like 98.6 percent of throws from left field regardless of player -- OH except Beckham and the umps nullified that one.

I was following on game time, couldn't figure out how they could score on that. Thanks that explains it

IMO, a new mindset surrounding this time is necessary, at a bare bones minimum.  The current one is clearly not working. 

[RpR]

Twins bats generally shut down after the 5th inning, especially if they are winning.

Perkins at first i thought he might be pretty good, But its obvious Bremer has rubbed off on him, zero criticizing

Team, not time.

[Doctor Gast]

Come on Twins pull this out!

Taking a page from Viking teams in the 70's................................Get a first half lead, then go into prevent defense, the rest of the way.

2nd inning today, but point taken.

Larnach, hurry back

Yeah, Perkins says players no longer stink after a game, it's just a post baseball game odor.

All the saving face for Gordon early in the game was pathetic.

[Tlaker]

Don’t mean to hijack the thread, but seems to fit here for most of us….. Vikes pass defense gave up 23 and a half yards on a 3rd and 24 on the way to a Raider’s score. Some things never ever change

[Aggies7]

3rd place incoming.
