Given the past couple of weeks, is that a bad thing?

Well, yeah.

Angels are not a good team. Twins should be able to beat them. But right now, they aren't beating anybody, good or not good. When a team is going south this in not uncommon. O's just got beaten badly in two games against two of the worst teams in baseball....Whitesox and Rockies. This late in a pennant race those two 3 game series should have been sweeps. But they weren't and then it led to a miserable series against Tampa and a blowout loss to Boston...currently ready to displace the Twins for the final WC.

Can't take any team for granted. Even one that has lost 112 games. Twins need to not even look at the opponents uniform. They just need to go out an play better. If thats possible anymore

Lately haven't seen much baseball happening on the TC side of things.

[Craig Arko]

Pablo certainly seems like the best shot to break the streak.

[howeda7]

If there's such a thing as a must win game when up by 3 games, this is it. If they lose this one, stick a fork in them, they're done.

[Craig Arko]

Also, will be interesting to see if Jeffers catches this game and Camargo goes tomorrow with Zebby, who he’s presumably caught before.

Some early runs wouldn't suck.

So, does that mean early runs would blow?

These few games w/o Vazquez will be scary.

Compared to what? I can think of lots of scarier things.

We HAVE to win tonight with Pablo on the hill. It's time to crawl out of the pit and turn this thing around.  

[wavedog]

Yesterday I was about to make a joke about their cleanup hitter batting .169 and that would be something Rocco would do but then he goes and hits a 2 run homer against us.    Feeling good about the bats coming alive tonight - maybe I am just coming down with a case of Baseball Fever ... Catch it!

Didn't you hear that there's a memo out that Camargo isn't allowed to get off the bench when he gets called up to the big club?

[MMMordabito]

I typically tire of Rocco's changing lineups, but this one looks like a "Let's try something different, because that sh-- wasn't working" lineup. Go Twins! Please.

Tigers have won 3 straight and are throttling the Rockies tonight.

[Parfigliano]

Not pretty but its a double play

[Dave Borton]

Haven't seen Kersey play.

A nickel's worth on his defense in CF from those who have had eyes on. TIA.

[USAFChief]

Nice time for a 1-4-3, and out of the inning.

Baltimore up 3-0 on Boston, top 3.

KC up 2-0 on the NYY.

[Dave Borton]

Gladden reports that Lewis was doing 40-50 yd sprints for an extended period of time before game. 

No report if it was Principal-imposed.

[Parfigliano]

LAA pitcher hasnt won a road game for over a year.  TC in free fall.   Do not like this combo at all.
