We'll see how they finish, they are 42-54 the last 96 games....LOL As is this is a horrible team.  I don't care who returns, it will be too late.  78-84 final record.

No one player can save the team, every one really dropped of, except Gordon and Correa , in the past few weeks.

Defense is the one thing that the Twins are not a failure at, if they lose good defense players, could be very bad.

They rank 10th defensively and are still under .500 and will be at the end of the season.

Not that .500 is a real achievment, I am hoping for that, at least.

That depends on what Front Office people and Coaches disappear, probably.

There needs to be player changes as well.

no chance, just watch.

The Twins lack of home run hits really showed up in this series, that is some thing that was poo-pooed as making them to one dimensional in the past, well, that dimension went away and Twins wins, or even close games, with it.

Some thing in the psychology of the team changed  ( I put that on poor coaching) that ,that, would go pfft so quickly; sad thing is Arraez showd some pop in his bat and most of the rest died.

The Hamilton boys left on the bench. One hitting ,067, and one .000. And Palacios scheduled now at .167. 

Why was Palacios put in the game? Just to boot the ball? And make the last out?

I'd leave Cave in at that point. Made 0 sense, but many of Rocco's moves make 0 sense.

The season isn't over, but the Twins playoff chances are finished. At this point they're playing for a .500 record and nothing more.

Ryan, Gray and Bundy going against the Royals.  Sweep those 3 games and see what happens. 

Maybe Cleveland stumbles some this week and the 5 games in Cleveland matter.

It's not all woe is me.  Some are realists, some are  pessimists, and some take every and anything as it comes.

Sadly I don’t think things will ever change as long as the Pohlad’s own the team.   They may throw us a bone every now (Falvey/Levine, Correa) and then but things don’t really change.   The team is not their top priority and I think that is the main reason we will never get big name players to sign here and we need more than one or two.  Letting Berrios go was a big sign.  He is better than what we have and didn’t trade up either.

4.5 back. Below .500. It’s over. The only thing I was wrong about the last 7 games was which team would sweep us. ?

Not signing a coach in the Sam Melee-Billy Martin-Tom Kelly style is a major problem
