Howz about we win a game tonight guys? Please? Score some runs for a change. Enough to take the game out of the managers hands (and spreadsheets).

For having such a down year, Pablo still has a chance of getting his ERA in the 3s and 200Ks...

This team is so frustrating, giving away games in every possible manner, managing, pitching, batting, defense and base running (including the coaches).  I looked up to see how August had been and was surprised to see that the Twins were 13-13.  What surprised me the most was that at the end of July the Twins were 6 games in the loss column behind Cle for the Division and best AL record and 3 games ahead of Bos for the last playoff spot.  Today, in the loss column,  the Twins are 5 games behind NY (best AL record), 3 games behind Cle and 4 games ahead of Bos.

If the Twins stop making mental and physical mistakes there is no reason they can't win the division and with luck the #1 or 2 seed.  However, if the recent trend continues we won't make the playoffs.  500 ball probably gets the 6th seed and a lottery ticket to the World Series.  Go Twins and Go Tigers.

That Toronto lineup is really pedestrian. Just avoid Vlad Jr. and you should be okay, Pablo. With that said, Gausman can still be nasty and the Twins' hitters can't help him out by swinging at pitches that start and end out of the zone.

Kepler given the night off and they’re going to test out his knee. Put him on the IL if he cannot play. We cannot afford to block up a roster spot. 

Year after year they do this to themselves. I really don't get it at all.

Are we 3.5 or 30 games out of first place.  The way this team acts with no sense of urgency you would think the season is over.  They had a day off yesterday, bring him in and make a determination of his availability.  This teams plays not to lose instead of playing to win.  This is just getting frustrating.

Wait, you come here for a fun evening, pick a fight unprovoked, and then turn thumbs-down on a playful reply?  Good night.

I forgot about Miranda getting beaned back at the end of July. Definitely could be the reason he's tailed off the last month.

Darn …. Pirates score 6 in the top of the 5 to take a 6-4 lead over Cleve…… and then give up 4 in the bottom of the inning 

8-4 Cleveland
