Twins had better pray they do not lose Kepler, Santana and Vazquez or this is just the start of some very dark years.

So many babbled let the youth play and they are like they are still in AAA.

Miranda is the ony one who looks like he fits in the Majors.

Everyone wants the kids like everyone wants the backup goalie and the second string QB.

 

Then it happens and the coach or manager is to blame..

Well get back on track with winning homestand!!! 💪💪💪 KC has Yankees/boston has Baltimore-twins will get wild card!!! Just make playoffs!!!

We'll win two. The Pablo games.

Twins lack of offense is going to sink them ultimately. This has been a butt ugly series. Anyone think we will see Buck or Carlos anymore this year. Those 2 are chronic injuries year after year. Twins miss them. Something definitely amiss with Lewis. Since his game winning HR coupled with his public griping about playing 2nd..he has disappeared. Not good

not really sure what else could have been done though when your CF and SS have played 165 games between them with a couple weeks left in the season. I’d rather see what we have with the younger guys. Hate to be the bearer of bad news but we weren’t winning the World Series with our rotation, certainly not when Ryan went out

[thelanges5]

Even the White Sox putting up seven runs today.

[CRF]

Disgusting.

Only 17 games this year with Buck, Correa, and Lewis on the field together this year.

Thankfully white sox are up!!! Reducing magic number for wild card! You never want to rely on other teams to do job for you. But schedule favours twins!!! Just need to get buxton/corea back!!! Span/proves are to Minnesota nice towards royals!👎

[AceWrigley]

I guess this can be called The Debacle in Kansas City. 

[Aggies7]

Mariners up big. Will be 3.5 back, barring a twins comeback

Peter, nobody wants to see this mess in the playoffs. At least it’s a best of 3

Think the Mariners losing is a more likely outcome.

Yes, Boston and Cleveland are the two big series left on the schedule. Not that the other ones are a gimme the way we are playing, but those two will decide our playoff future.

[Patzky]

Vazquez gets the Player of the Day award.

Have the tiebreaker over KC even with this weekend’s performance.

[Patzky]

Thankfully over.

[thelanges5]

Two runs all weekend, we’ve got a bigger problem than pitching decisions.

The way this team is playing right now, the other series left also decide the Twins’ playoff future too

I’m sorry for being a pessimist, but the best thing for this club is to have a complete meltdown, then Baldelli and Falvey (with some backbone from ownership, if that’s possible) to be fired. Spend some money on REALLY established GM/president . Maybe bring Toby as manager or at least bench coach. I just think there needs to be new, fresh thinking at the top. I love the Twins. But they’re just plodding along right now. 

[Irishman]

Twins scored only 2 runs in 27 innings.  FO, Rocco and coaches need to go.

[Tlaker]

This was my view today…… wish I didn’t have to see the brooms in KC

[sampleSizeOfOne]

What i miss?

Okay, I'm going to rant a little bit. We're all frustrated, I get it. But if you can't act like a ****ing adult, I'm just going to be done with game threads for the rest of the season.

I get it, some of you hate Baldelli. Cool cool cool. I disagree with lots of what he does but if you blame the manager for using his best arms to try to win, the problem ain't the ****ing manager. The problem is that this roster ****ing sucks right now and it's really hard to watch this team fall apart.

Some of that is on Baldelli. Some of that is on Falvey. In my opinion, a whole ****ing lot of that is on the Pohalds for purse-clutching when the team needed dollars to win more games.

This is a hard situation to watch as a fan. We're all frustrated. I get it. But you're still a grown-ass adult, act like it. So if today's thread derails again, there won't be a game thread tomorrow and I'm going to be handing out three-day vacations from Twins Daily without hesitation.

Whoa whoa whoa......

Let me start by saying that I appreciate the game thread and hope you don't take your ball and go home.

But then you go on a profanity laced rant that blames the players and the front office????  Rocco blew that game yesterday and I'm afraid there will be residual effects going forward.  Hard to move on from that debacle.  

But you can't have it both ways,...tell everyone to act like an adult and then drop a bunch of F bombs stating your position.  That's hypocritical. 

Give me a three day vacation, if you want.  I need it after watching Sunday's game.  LOL

Yes playing very uninspired baseball.  You would think they are 20 games out of it the way they look and play.  The body language is not good among the position players.  And what the H is Watkins doing over there coaching at 3rd base.  Sending Miranda was just plain stupid.  He has run us out of scoring chances too many times this season.  Miranda in particular is not one to run there...maybe Castro or Martin.  Our base coaches are not good.  Conger sends guys on long singles to get cut down at 2nd base.  It's like they don't know the opposing team defense.  Players and Rocco take the heat for their screw ups!
