I'm not even so sure at this point, making the postseason would validate the organization's approach and sometimes bad things need to happen for meaningful change.

Might come back home  in 4th place,

18 straight innings without a run. Yikes.

The Twins will never be fully healthy. Injury prone players cost less on the free agent, trade market, and are seen as better "value picks" in the draft. Connect the dots as to how that relates to the way this organization operates.

While I agree on the premise, organization already has their built in excuse of too many injuries to their starters to actually make any changes.

Nice game by Ober 🙂

 

 

 

 

But a piss poor game by the offense, which is so bad now that they seemingly can't bat their way out of wet paper bag if their lives depended on it.

Not with this ownership/management group.  They're probably viewing this as being right where they like operating.

4 runs in 4 games 

[Peter]

Lee 2 run homer upcoming 

[Peter]

Got the run!!!

[CRF]

I can't believe what I just saw! We scored a run!

[IndyTwinsFan]

At least Ober won't pick up an undeserved loss now.

A small consolation, for sure.

About time....

[mrtwinsfan]

Castro  knows his stats ,  r.h.  its like 1-50  or close ?

[RpR]

Well, Miranda, the only batter doing better than average, goes pfft.

[exeoud]

Do not trust them to execute in crunchtime and win this game. Prove me wrong.

[mrtwinsfan]

Toronto--  see big hole - hit it   ,  Twins  K

[CRF]

Margot makes that play out in CF with his eyes closed...just like they've been all season long!

[exeoud]

Rocco sits there and watches another blown call, get out there and fire your guys up

[mrtwinsfan]

if a manager ever needed to go OFF on a ump , when his team needs it -  Rocco  where are you ?

[Aggies7]

Jax was due for a stinker 

[TwinsCD]

Geez, now our best reliever has lost his mind.

This team needs an enema.

Manager could of halted the damage b4 it happened

[jaimedude]

This team needs some releases or firings to stir it up, stale and complacent efforts. Getting squeezed by ump never helps matters. 

[CRF]

It figures...our most consistent and probably best reliever is gonna blow this game for us now. There's some bad juju going on with this team. 

[SD happy]

Lead off hitter should never have been on….

[insagt1]

Jax picked a bad day to have one of his worst days. He has no command; not getting calls on the close ones and puts the Twins in a deep hole. Darn.

[IndyTwinsFan]

In my mind, this game now is basically over.

Just disgusting!

by  going after the Ump who deserved it

[Western SD Fan]

Boone at least stands up for his players. I understand it likely wouldn’t make a difference but I believe Boone gets more calls for his team than most managers. Rocco needed to be tossed from this game already.
