Forget about Cleveland for a while. With this aggregate of players we have after all the injuries, I’d be more worried about what the Red Sox and royals are doing.

Yes sir, and now C.C.  Seems to be alot more to that contract being ??  hope im wrong ,

The tying run is somewhere in the dugout

[IndyTwinsFan]

I believe I've seen as much of this clown show as I can handle.  Yet another example of us getting exactly what we deserved.

How pathetic, and disappointing!

Everybody here wants that.

I mean, why else would there be so much Jeffers bashing?

[h2oface]

Lee has been involved in a couple of costly defensive lapses late in two different games now. 

[Shaitan]

1 of 162. Get 'em tomorrow. Win the series. Move on.

But if one has a good bat, defense does not matter.🙃

Yep. Makes you appreciate Correa and to some degree Santana and Willi.

Is it only 2 days this time? I haven't looked at the schedule.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Well... At least they demonstrated it is possible to score 5 runs in an inning...Not all hope is lost.

Tonight was bad, but I feel like this team mostly plays in close games. And they have a winning record.

Maybe I'm wrong, but when I think "2024 Twins," I think almost exclusively close games and not blowouts.

You are correct in your assessment.  But it's frustrating when they continue to run PH roulette, especially with a guy who is 0-22 in that spot, and do it so early that they hamstring themselves in later innings as well as the lack of simple extra inning strategy as the home team in a tie game and they implode.  Sometimes, simple baseball is winning baseball.  Brewers played smallball and should have won the game with that in the 11th.

Yup.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

This team continues to make mistakes and beat itself. It isn't a well managed baseball team. Sorry if the Rocco apologists take issue with that.

Split it at best.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Castillo keeps it going....

[mrtwinsfan]

Twins right now are playing like they did in early April,  SCARY

[Patzky]

Castillo is an RBI machine tonight.

[Parfigliano]

I pity MILW.  Camargo is fresh for tomorrow's day game.

[Patzky]

Game over 😭 

[TwinsCD]

I pity those who had the under in this game.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Maybe not....

 

Oh well.

 

G'night world!

Someone here has said it many times -- close games are won on the margins and this team is terrible in those margins.  A lot of it falls at the feet of the manager, who has proven in his time here that he still has ZERO clue how to strategize crucial situations, whether it's at the plate or on the mound.

Linus gave you a thumbs down….. would like to hear his argument against your great points!!

million dollar t-shirt idea

[Parfigliano]

I've never seen a team where the PH consistently ends up getting more ABs in a game then the guy they PH for.

Rocco your a genius.

Misplaced his blanket?  😁

Winnable games continue to go by the wayside. Saw it in Chicago. Saw it in San Francisco. Saw it tonight. It's on the guy in the dugout.

Crappy batting is a common denominator 

[IndyTwinsFan]

This team continues to demonstrate time and time again that it is almost incapable of winning games when they're not hitting the ball at least reasonably well during the game.  Save for the Santana HR in the 11th, that was the case.  Add in the physical errors, mental errors, questionable decision-making by the manager, and generally poor bullpen work, and this is what you oftentimes end up with.

Very frustrating for us fans to watch!
