Polanco tight hamstring.  IL bound and if that is the case do bring Wallner back and sit Kepler?  Let's hope that is the transaction if his hamstring makes him hamstrung

Just like that TB shows why they are best team in baseball

 

And why the Twins are a mediocre team with many inconsistencies...

On the radio they said they had a chance to get Raley at third, but instead the throw went home and had no chance to get him.

pure conjecture.  everything is a chance with the Twins, even the most simplest of plays.

So sad to have to admit this.  But I'm so frustrated and bored with the Twins, I actually considered switching my attention (and channel) to an episode of General Hospital on TV...

I talked to my lawyer about filing a class action suit against the Twins.  Basically, charging them with fraud and illegal insterstate commerce.  He suggested that so many would join in on the lawsuit, that the pay out would be inconsequential.

KIrilloff and Lewis hopefully will be good players going forward. Seven years in for Falvey who else do they have to build around? A few maybe he'll be good and not much else imo.

It seems like yesterday, Lewis was hot and we had a 3 game winning streak.  Couldn't wait to watch them continue. Now we are close to a 5 game losing streak with mostly unwatchable games.  Losing 2-1 was okay, still a competitive game.  But we all know being down even one run is a danger zone.  If they can't get it going this game they will fall under .500 and Cleveland too close.

Just a few innings from falling below .500. The most frustrating part is the lack intensity, fight, execution…. every aspect a reflection of the guy leading the team from the dugout (also some credit to Buxton and Correa). Some changes are necessary/needed. Start with relieving the manager. Move on to DFAing Salano and Kepler, send Garlick down and get some guys up that want to play.

Anyone seen analysis if this early pinch-hitting strategy is working for us?   Maybe doesn't matter since no one is hitting.

Sloppy baseball - Minnesota trademark these days.    Team used to be know for fundamental play.  

That used to fall on the manager and coaches. Now it just seems to be accepted the norm.
