KC killing them with taking bases on outs, SB, all around baserunning

They have made the most of all of their opportunities.... unlike the Twins.

Mendoza's back under the Buxton line. Or something like that...

The Twins are awesome that way with their designated hitters 

[Danchat]

Moran simply isn't a MLB reliever. He's been given ample opportunity, but he just doesn't have it. We need another lefty in the pen to pair with Thielbar, especially with Caleb's injury problems this season.

[Kummel]

The Twins are just all over the place this season.  They looked like contenders after the All Star break, now they look overmatched by the Royals.

[Cris E]

Tired of Moran. Need a leftie to cover for Theilbar while Jovani goes down and learns to pitch.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

The problem with the postseason is that you can’t count on the other teams to beat themselves, like bad teams Oakland, White Sox or KC do

[srjr19]

This team gets lightheaded when they get to 6 games over.  They'll settle back in when they get back down to .500.

Hellbent on making the remaining games with Cleveland mean everything.

[glunn]

I hate it when a team like the Royals starts piling up insurance runs.

They are overmatched

[Cris E]

Well it's at least becoming clearer what the deadline need is. 

[glunn]

This is getting sickening.  That ball should have been caught.

[Parfigliano]

Embarrassingly pathetic.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

The Twins have the best record in the AL Central, but if they don’t come back tonight, they will have the worst record of the remaining teams in the American League except for Oakland.

Except for Oakland, all the other teams in the American League have better records than all of the AL Central teams.

What we're seeing is the maturation of some very potent young Royals hitters.  They are not going to be this bad next year, and if they get some pitching they'll be dangerous.

Bobby Baseball,

Kind of glad I made a conscious decision not to watch, being that it has now turned into a full-fledged fiasco. 

Absolutely disgusting.

I think that we are seeing immense underperformance by the Twins.

[Cris E]

Witt is legit and should be extended yesterday. Not sure what the Royals are waiting for.

I'd like this comment twice, if that were possible.

More than one thing can be true at the same time.

[VivaBomboRivera!]

Lordy, it's almost a ball game again!

[cHawk]

Dammit, Castro.

[VivaBomboRivera!]

Willi, you know better than that!!!

[Cris E]

I wonder what Corey really thought about Castro's choice there.

[Parfigliano]

Castro baserunning...WTF idiotic

[glunn]

Castro needs to run laps after this mess is over.

He was on it!

Our hope now is in an atrocious Royals bullpen breakdown, 'cos their bats ain't stoppin'.

Smalley - "That can't happen. Leave it there."

Royals guy said  What a Bonehead  play,   Honesty for sure
