This team just plays dumb baseball. Consistently. Bad throws. Bad baserunning. Bad decisions.

I am totally OK with having guys who lack the innate, physical skills to be great players. I'm not OK watching guys do bonehead stuff that they should have learned years ago, or at least FROM THEIR MINOR LEAGUE COACHES (if any).

Palacios looks athletic. Looks. I am surprised how poor he looks on tv playing for the Twins than he did early in the year. Helman would be an obvious improvement.

Gordon didn't move in the outfield to back up the play. Trouble all around.

Little league mistakes.

I said in another thread the Twins would finish 9 games back...they are on their way to being 12 games out.  But I must say, they just look awful.

They're playing guys who shouldn't be on a major league team, and it shows.

After the way the season started, wouldn't it be crazy if they finish 14-15 games out? Which is very likely.

I think they said since they were like 10 games over .500 on May 24th they've been 16 games under .500 and that's like a 70 win pace over 162 games.

Yes indeed, and a bit worse then last season over 162.   I think that is what we call rebuilding, though I don't think the FO sees it that way.  LOL

I know the media doesn't think the AL Central winner has a chance in the playoffs, but I think Cleveland will cause some trouble. They've got a great manager, good pitching from the rotation and bullpen and are fundamentally sound. I wouldn't be surprised if Cleveland wins a playoff series against a 'better' team.

Yep, we have a whole thread on this website dedicated to the arguments why Rocco shouldn't be brought back although he seems to be secure haha?

Another season like this and I think everyone below ownership will be on the hot seat.

Let's hope so, the front office trading for damaged pitchers along with the incompetence of the coaching should lend support to a complete rebuild.

It seems to me that when the top four or five players hit, too often the bottom four or five do not hit and Vice-Versa.

The story of the last 100+ games.  Nothing in sync.

The concern with Cleveland for me is if they can sustain their brand of baseball in to October. They are one of the most interesting teams in MLB right now.

They remind me of the 2015 Royals (I live outside of Kansas City).

Maybe Palacios should have stood a couple feet farther infront of Second Base; if the throw had been dead-on he would have still have to turn around to tag him.

Twins have a rally going, does Cave hit into a double play here to kill it?

Just a single play. Rally is only mostly dead.

 

Big difference between mostly dead and all dead.
