Twins (Ober) vs Padres (Perez): 8/20/24, 8:40pm

From Jax to okert  , what is Rocco thinking   ,  okert meltdown is expected but not acala's ...

[AceWrigley]

Padres play rope-a-dope for 6 innings then figure out how many runs they need to beat you.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Two to tie.

[TwinsCD]

Gotta hand it to whichever one of you said it months ago about how this team loses so many games on the fringes.  Tonight and Sunday are further examples of that.  Add to it the terrible baserunning and some of these defensive lapses and that reflects squarely on the windbreakers in the dugout.

Wild card round exit or miss the playoffs?

Just unbelievable. Good job Rocco, you really forced their hand. I'm sure they were so sad to take Tyler Wade's 63 OPS+ bat out of the lineup for Solano.

Postseason is looking to be harder and harder to get to for the Twins.

You couldn't even get odds on that in Vegas.

Though it's an understatement to say this game is disappointing so far, I think it's premature to give up on the season.

With only 78 pitches he should be good for 7 & 8th, and if they are quick maybe the 9th.  I can dream!

Poof :(

[RpR]

Why bat Larnach?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Walp.

 

Thanks for the company!

They need to get the injured back ASAP and develop a killer instinct to put teams away when they have a chance.

[exeoud]

Lol. 4 game back with 37 left. Cleveland has an easier remaining schedule than us now. This division is locked up.

[Parfigliano]

Cant wait to here from Rocco about the BP usage decisions.

[Shaitan]

Is this frustrating, yes?

But the record is better than 2023 and we don't have Sonny Gray whining every 3rd day.

Stay positive, folks. It's a long season.

With the Twins schedule, if they play even basically similar to the last three games; better record than last year to nowhere.

Not giving up. Just realistic.

Why not?

Bottom line is...if you don't get arms at the deadline, you are not a true contender.

[exeoud]

58-55 against non-White Sox teams. That's probably about what their actual winning percentage should be if they didn't have the literal worst team in the modern era in their division.

[CoastiePilot08]

Going nowhere with this bullpen and 3 rookies starting. 
 

plus the Martin, Margot, farmer contingent
