Fundamentals? WTF! Not on this team. Sloppy baseball is this teams identity.

This wreaks of when things went south last year...

I guess I'm just getting old and cranky but it sure seems like the team has had a very low baseball IQ in the  Falvey/Baldelli era.

Trying out for the Bad News Bears??

Seems like it sometimes. 

[RickOShea]

Gallo got a hit!!!!!!!!!!!!  He's just earned 2 days off from Rocco.  Woo-hoo.

Then he blamed the off day 😂 

Right? It’s an insult to the fans who watch on a nightly basis. Give me Harry caray and Jimmy Piersall to blast these guys. It’s not acceptable

It’s been this way for years. TK would be spinning in his grave if he were dead. Endemic throughout the entire organization is seems

Win or lose this game TK would have them on the field after this game working on some things

the goal at this point is to finish higher than 2nd in a 2 team division 

[OvertheHill]

I’m too lazy to research it but it seems like week since the Twins have had two consecutive hits in an inning. 

[hitterscount]

Just another embarrassing performance by the offense and defense wasting another quality start. Maybe Rocco should consider shuffling the batting order, not using Jax in high leverage situations, going a little small ball…. Something because this team is spiraling. Maybe Rocco needs to be sent packing. There needs to be a shakeup somewhere.

[Aggies7]

The crowd should be all over this bunch but I only heard a smattering of boos. You wonder why nothing major changes 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Stringing hits together—time to swing for the fence! 

[RickOShea]

As long as the Twins are close to sniffing around 1st place, replacing Rocco isn't  even a thought, much less an option, with Falvey.

Detroit is alive as well.

Yeah this was said last year too. 

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Cmon Kep! A double would be nice

The media in this market enables them, big time (except for Reusse and a couple radio guys) but that’s a topic for another time and place 

people just have no idea

Agreed this continues  Fire Baldelli by end of week

[RickOShea]

Not gonna happen.  wouldn't be prudent.

[cHawk]

Max Kepler has a choice: either to silence or to reinforce our criticisms of him.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Let’s snap this cold streak C4!

[cHawk]

Kepler chose to reinforce them.

You’ve got a better shot at the powerball

[PDX Twin]

So glad to hear the crowd boo Correa. He's stealing their ticket money.

[Aggies7]

Lmao did the tv feed just cut out the boos after the correa strikeout? Go back and listen, they absolutely did 

[OvertheHill]

I think the broadcast just purposely cut the sound before the break so you wouldn’t hear the booing. 

[killebrewlover]

First four in our lineup tonight are 0 for 11.   Ain't gonna cut it....

100%. Couldn’t have been an accident 

[cHawk]

I love them, but team is extremely frustrating to watch sometimes.
