Gross at bat by Larnach, did exactly what pitcher wanted him to do.

Too bad it isn’t the KC team from Kansas. Much smaller town

The Twins aren't ready for prime time. That simple. And it starts with the guy in the dugout.

Dear Rocco and Popper,

Can we please teach the fellas some situational hitting? 
 

Sincerely,

Twins Fans

Peter, Peter, Peter, you have some very interesting perspectives on things.   Good thing, because it would be pretty boring if we all thought the same way.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Jeffers base running blunder.

Not sending the runner today. Bases loaded and no one out and zero runs, again.

Incompetence breeds incompetence.

What did Rocco do wrong today? Or is this a scheduled daily post?

[jaimedude]

Now we know why Rocco pinch hits for Larnach all year long. Although maybe if Rocco didn't do that, the rookies actually learn to hit.  Twins bullpen has cracks that Cleveland doesn't. That is why trade deadline was such a let down.

I think it might be Milwaukee, but you're on a roll so keep going.

When they needed to play big yesterday and today, they played very small.  Same old garbage we've seen multiple times before.

So utterly disappointing!

We're going to continue to disagree on this. You think he's a good manager. I get it. I don't think he is. This team displays poor fundamentals on almost a daily basis. The situational hitting is completely non-existent. These are the reasons managers and coaches are fired. If the excuse for Rocco is, well he wasn't the one swinging the bat or he wasn't the one throwing the pitch, then there would be very little turnover in the managerial ranks. 

[jaimedude]

Twins lack of  situational hitting and bullpen failures reflect Pohlad ownership pinching pennies and cutting corners.

Outside of the games against the worst team of all time the twins have scored 4 or less in 8 of their last 10

Why are the bats so streaky?

They've shown time and time again that they're generally incapable of playing sound and strategic baseball, when it means something. 

You can blame whomever you want, but I think there's plenty of blame to cast all across the team and its baseball operations.

You know that answer to that.

Been demoted.

 

I was expecting General Disappointment.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Doesn't matter the sport. Managers and coaches are fired when players don't produce on the field. This team doesn't produce when it matters. If people think Rocco isn't a big reason as to why, so be it. I won't mention his name again if helps the apologists put down their pitch forks.

I'll take the blame for this... I was napping, and i woke up with bases loaded.

 

But where can i get a hat like that? I especially like the elastic edge, as i'm used to making due with folded newspaper style aluminum foil.

 As far as just city populations, it's probably St.Louis.  However, metro population would be a much better comparision in my opinion.  

[CRF]

I know it's not appropriate given the circumstances, but Mrs CRF is making her delicious Tuscan chicken for dinner. A man's gotta do, what a man's gotta do. Let's hope this team gives a better showing against KC for the next three games. Have a good evening folks.

Can’t we all just get along?

I touched a nerve obviously with a certain poster so I'll move on. No one needs to read the back and forth.
