I think it’s time for a closed door team meeting

Good advice. Whether alone, or with friends, always close the door when you take a dump, it's the polite thing to do.

There's no way Rocco survives this, is there?

[Western SD Fan]

Claiming they won’t fire Rocco because the Pohlads don’t want to pay 2 managers. They just need to shed payroll a little further in order to afford it.

I never thought for a second when I made the bet of over 86 1/2 wins in March that it would be in doubt.  Truly unreal what this team has choked away in the last month.

Ouch,   now thats a bad beat

What if you’ve already spent 3 hours doing that in front of a stadium full of people?

Agreed. What happened tonight should have been done in private.

[Irishman]

Twins is finished.   Biggest twin plop this month.   Looks like they don’t want to be in playoff.    Very disappointing!

If were me, I wouldn’t have extended his contract through next year. But that’s a done deal; I don’t see the owners eating that cost.

I doubt there is any way in hell that Twins can catch either KC or Detroit with 5 games left. They are dead as doornails. Did anyone see any energy out there...seriously. Once they got down by 4 early, they packed it in. Getting leadoff men on didn't mean a thing.

I thought, wrongly, that Twins WOULD snap out of it tonite. They didn't come close. A TOTAL team shutdown. 10 left on base. Ah, can't keep repeating the same old crap. The choke is just about accomplished and heads should roll.

Red Sox/Jays, 6-5 final. Getting crowded on the bus.

Even with that win, the Red Sox are still 3.5 games back with 6 games to go. That's really hard to make up.

I agree that heads should roll, but will they???

Unfortunately I'd guess you are correct.

Wait until they try to run this same lineup next season and try to sell season tickets with a reduced payroll.

[SS MagicMark]

15 runs in the last 8 games, excluding extra innings.

I'm not spending any more money this year on Twins and I had opportunity for tix, Saturday, good seats. I forgot tonight was dog night. They cordoned off grass area outside for dog toilet. Leaving game before 8th inning someone had a dog peeing all over the concourse. Twins should not have dogs at games, it's gross and unsanitary with all the food stands everywhere. Don't care they are segregated to home run porch, not a fan. I should have asked for a refund. Only thing was worth it was the 1 dollar hot dogs. Not a fun way to end a season. Twins players don't want to play anymore games. Friend asked me to split a 20 game package again. I'm out, you can tell Pohlads will cut payroll again, they are tone deaf.

That’s Pohlad’s right to increase or cut payroll.   We have our right to pay tickets or not.   I’m out, too.

Agree completely.  That would hit ownership where it hurts the most, right in the pocketbook. 

But would even that force a positive change?  I'm not so sure.

Should be 22 runs.   

[RpR]

Hmmm, I had the game on the TV infront of me but was reading some thing else; I see they put Julien and Lee in to lower their BAs even farther.

Not as much as Margot lowered his.

[Watersmack]

Yah tonight was dog night, indeed.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

This team's quit on the manager. The lifeless faces in the dugout are a giant flashing neon sign. If Rocco's back, we might as well hop in a time machine and go back to the 2021 season.
