Pretty sad, if you think about it.

I think Rocco gives them all game balls after the game so they don’t feel too bad

I think baldelli gets another year. Rest of the coaching staff needs to be changed, but I highly doubt rocco will get canned after this year. Not that I believe he’s the guy we need, it’s just not likely 

I'm inclined to agree with your assessment.

Wouldn't surprise me much.

Someone needs to be fired

How about half the players or so?

Any booing in the ballpark?

Should be….

I though I heard a few when Pagan came out.

This game was a giant poop stain!!!!!

Don’t look now but Megill is basically Pagan. Two guys that have stuff but don’t have command. Get rid of them both. Command is way more important than stuff.

I haven't looked up the stats on this but I think it's hard to win a game when you don't score any runs.

There have been hundreds of games won by a team that was shut out through 9 innings. Several hundreds. Leading to the obvious conclusion…

if Ryan doesn’t make the mistake to Semien, gets pulled after 6 complete, and the bullpen is perfect…we win this game in extras with Buck off the bench. The pitching staff let us down again.

A considerable understatement!

Their rhetoric did, simple as that.

Not at all, Pagan gave up 3 runs, he deserves to get booed, simple as that?

Arihara is giving up a Pagan-like 2.3 HR/9 in his 11 career starts.

The Twins were the magic pill for him

That's it.  I'm done with this team for the rest of this year.  I will not shed one more tear, curse one more word, give one more fist bump, trade one more high five, provide one more excuse, etc. etc. etc., for what remains of the Twins' season in 2022.  My mind, heart, and soul can't take this up-and- down performance ride anymore.  It's like Cleveland and Chicago left the door open for Minnesota to walk in, but the Twins opted to try and squeeze through the keyhole.  Please Lord, bring on the earth hurdling comets.

So, until next year, this is "Killebrewlover" signing off from this forum for the rest of the season.  Long live the Twins...

I’m resigned to the fact it’s going to be difficult for them to win the division. There are still 17 games against Chicago and Cleveland. Be a great time to start a run. They don’t seem to have much fire, more like a smoldering dung heap at times. I’m not sure they can change it this season.
