Hate the one run losses!!!

Look on the bright side. If it hadn't been for your dreaded one run loss, Brooks Lee would have been robbed of the opportunity to learn from experience. 

Might prevent him from making another ill advised throw. Better now than in the playoffs!

No more one run games rest of season!

There are times we miss a legitimate backup CF on defense. Today was one where we would rather have had Margot in LF.

Why don't they like Keirsey?

Open question to all the people on this board who have had plantar fasciitis: Does it go away in 2 days?

No - I can guarantee and it has to affect him.

It might just be one game, but the issue with this series is more deep. What happens when the Twins start playing the big boy teams. They can have a .750 win percentage when they almost exclusively play teams like the Rockies, A's, White Sox, and Mariners (who I only include on this list because they somehow can't figure the Twins out at all). But if they can't win at least .500 against the good teams they will face soon, they are toast. It looks as though the entire AL Central might turn out as expected after all. In that case, the Twins might sweep the division with subpar performances from here on (provided they go at least .500 with their remaining games against the Guardians).

Sloppy looking little league game, but what can you expect when half your lineup is out. Margot should be nowhere near center field, or on the field anywhere imo. He needs to be replaced by Keirsey who is hitting over .300, stealing bases in bunches and playing great defense at all three outfield positions. If he doesn't stick, Martin and Castro can take over the OF. Either way, Margot and Farmer need to go. They're doing nothing but blocking younger, cheaper better players

They played without their best players yesterday. I didn't see how everyone is ignoring that. They beat both Seattle and Houston in their season series..... They have a top ten record in the game.
