  Been a fun year only in that the Team kept us in it till Labor day, which compared to last year we were out of it on Memorial day,  Twins need more than a couple players, Need a new Direction on Fundamentals, Speed and Common sense baseball, Yes injuries are part of it , but please make some Changes, Roccos 2019 just wait for Home runs does not work anymore and he seems to not be able to adjust,   will always have Hope, But Reality is REAL !!! 

And when it came to the games that mattered, that didn't work then, either. 0-3 in the season that counted.

[William K Johnson]

Lopez has not been good with us.    His misplay of Straw's grounder started the ninth inning issues.  

[RpR]

Sanchez drove in the only Twins run so far.

[h2oface]

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?

[h2oface]

Stepping up in the bright lights...... ladies and gentlemen, Kyle Garlick.

[SanoMustGo]

Best thing about the end of this season is there will probably be a number of guys that won't be in a Twins uniform any longer.

Probably not the ones you think will not return.?

[SanoMustGo]

Game over, and season over.  The only thing I got wrong this week is the Yankees gave us a game.  Wouldn't be surprised to lose a couple vs the Royals.  We aren't any better than they are as is.

Twins have a losing record for the season

How many years do we have to have Lopez? Seems he has a bunch of control left. 

2 more seasons

Sanchez, Garlick, Cave, Pagan, Archer, Bundy, Leon, Sano, most likely Correa...

Yep, all those other 7 players batting attempts that start with 0 hits mean so little.

[mrtwinsfan]

Well it is 9-11

Oh, joy!

[one_eyed_jack]

Well, that sucked. But not unexpected when you’re running out a lineup half-filled with fringe major leaguers every night.  
 

Should be an interesting off-season.

Without Correa and Sanchez 100 losses here we come, unless they pick up some top line veterans.

Cave has the fielding ability Gordon does not.

If Jeffers returns next year, the Twins will probably set a record for all time steals allowed.

Sanchez is every bit as bad, he will just cost ALOT more.  Sanchez is washed up, if that's how you want the team built.  This team could be really bad next year either way if they can't keep people healthy.  Correa won't stay if the Twins don't make a commitment to get better.  And he probably won't either way.

AHH, a return to the lack lustre seventies, and an empty baseball stadium.

Pohlads will not be happy.

Then Mr. run-at-will Jeffers washed out even earlier than Sanchez.

[rwilfong86]

Final nail in the coffin. Hopefully they’ll start next season with healthy pitching.

You realize opponents run on all our catchers with the same success, right?

[RickOShea]

Let's start early house cleaning.  Let's prep for next season.  There are several people in this organization who should be honored with new positions, elsewhere.

[SanoMustGo]

If the team totally collapses and finishes with a record near last year's, what will the FO do?

Baseball Ref. numbers said you are wrong; Leon did drop off in the past month.

If you think Sanchez will save this team, let them sign him for probably $10 million next season and see what happens.

[RpR]

Season is not over yet so I do not feel the OH-WOE-IS-ME that is being echoed right now.

[SanoMustGo]

If I were Correa, I would opt out and not come back.  I think this team will be no better than the last two seasons unless they make wholesale changes AND, can keep the core healthy.

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, for the most part,  if they lose good defense players, could be very bad.

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