I would love to hear some boos after this….. just to let a few people know that this effort lately is not acceptable 

Twins fans don’t deserve this!    Twins players included owner and FO should be shameful.   Very embarrassing!   Very depressing to watch Twins!

It was an aggravating loss on many levels. We don't have anyone close to a shutdown closer. Duran just isn't that guy at all. (Maybe rime to try Jax again?) Our 'd' is crumbling. Martin a d Julien did us no favors. Twins not playing like contenders. Guess we'll probably have to deal with the annual long time on the IL for Buxton. When he goes down he might as well take a vacation. And Correa..sigh...is he done? Hard to like this team at the moment. ( fans in Cleveland may be s8nging the same song. It's on the Playlist in Baltimore too. Crazy season.

But last night's loss was a real foul ball. Contenders can't be losing like that with only a few games left.

I can see clearly now. The rain is gone. But it's a little fuzzy on why It's become a thing

They just don't do the little things at least not in a high level or with consistency. Getting the runner in from 3rd with less than two outs. Mistakes in the field. Mistakes running the bases, aka, Watkins. Not even attempting to keep base runners in check. It all adds up.

Duran isn't the same pitcher he was last season but if Martin makes a catch that didn't have a crazy degree of difficulty or even Julien charges that ball and fires it home, the outcome could have been different.

It's innings like the last one that is why this team isn't ready for the final push. You just can't not score with 2 runners in scoring position and no outs with key hitters up and come up empty. The strikeouts are so aggravating with this team.
