Still in it, but we're going to need more than a couple solo shots.

Back in the only score on HR box like last game.

WOW! That was an impressive AB by Vazquez! 

Got 2 more years of it!

[Irishman]

Vasquez had this terrible at-bat.   Please switch him with Jeffers.  

[RickOShea]

Twins still haven't solved their offensive deficiencies.  They live and die by the home run.  I guarantee you, teams that usually make the playoffs, don't give up a fistful of them.

Let's be fair to Mr V.  He's doing his best, hopefully.  He just lacks the necessary talent to shine at his position.  He's more of a matte finish.

He is still a good catcher but his batting skills have gone down the drain.

Not just  kuechals crappy today, but can anyone other than Bremer Justify  being on a playoff roster ?

Lewis just threw out a gazelle

As season started it ends.  Far to much HR or nothing.

I think the five run lead is the only reason that was not challenged; replay looks like it was very close.

[RpR]

Starting to look like hoping the Twins take one of three.

Yeah, past Gray and Lopez they all do, AFAIC.

Hence my belief they bring in another pitcher next year, but that's a topic for later ..

I don't think there's any doubt they bring in at least one starter. I hope they make a legit effort at building a bullpen too.

[GusGus11]

The bad news, we essentially threw in the towel when we brought Keuchel in

The good news, he threw 58 pitches so we wont be seeing him again for a while.

Miranda has also been hurt all year so you can't stick a fork in him yet.

The bullpen is not a priority.
