I think that Rocco knows full well that most of the team basically gave up a long time ago.  He's just a little late in joining the crowd.

You still manage to win the game at this point in the season.  He should be fired immediately after the game.

How is it possible for so many players on a single team to look so clueless at the plate, for several weeks running? Shouldn't someone have kicked some serious ass at some point, or even tossed some bats into the shower? What manner of  man could oversee such a colossal failure day after bloody day with only the slightest ripple of emotional reaction?

I've had enough of The Automaton! Give me someone for whom winning is flesh and blood..."the gun breech hot to the touch."

They badly need a fire and brimstone type of manager.  Rocco definitely isn't it.

I agree. Don’t roll over. 

[Parfigliano]

Only a one TD game

[jaimedude]

I predict the fastest 1-2-3 inning by the Twins all year.  Twins are burnt toast

[thelanges5]

2 innings 8 runs - anything is possible, right?

I don't disagree, but that's how this ownership group works, like it or not.

This has nothing to do with the ownership, this is Rocco in the dugout at the moment giving up on the season.  Unless Falvey or Joe are calling him in the dugout.

It’s a good thing we didn’t have anything to play for tomorrow. Kudos to Pablo for coming out for the 6th even though he was at 95 pitches. Let’s hurry up and get out of the game. Can Willi come in and pitch yet?

[Irishman]

FO and coaching staff need to be shakeup after the season ends.   Twins are finished.

I say this because it's clear to me that they're tolerating this kind of behavior on the field and from the manager and coaches.  So, in my mind, they're definitely implicated.

[thelanges5]

Wolves trading KAT to the Knicks?

[OvertheHill]

There’s no disgrace in losing to a clearly superior team. There’s disgrace in the effort and execution of this team over the past TWO MONTHS.

Kudos to Pablo getting out-dueled by Cade Povich in an absolute must win or season over game. Lopez was a big reason the Twins struggled this year. The "ace" managed to put together a solid season for a #4 pitcher.

Thankfully, we've got several more years at only $22MM coming up.

3.67 runs per game since Aug 18 🤮

Not Pablo’s fault the offense is crap.

Two runs in six innings, it was our hitters who couldn't Pavich.  I would have loved for Pablo to go eight, but with our bats he needed to shut them out and even then that might not have been enough.

Fans are heading out. Collapse complete. 26k announced

Lopez, Correa, Larnach and Wallner are the only players they have that are tradeable

You say outdueled. I say a pathetic offense that did nothing for him. Especially when it was apparent he d not have his best stuff tonight.

Watching the season end in real time. 

On the great green field

There was a team

And a broken dream

And a closeup of...

A manager leaving there soon

 

And there were some hitters

Who are frequently sitters

And a rich but sad 'Lad

And fans who were mad

 

And a string of L's, and a crowd in a hush

Minus all those who left in a rush

 

Goodnight team

Goodnight dream

Goodnight manager leaving soon

Goodnight hitters

Goodnight quitters

Goodnight L's, and E's, and K's

Goodnight anyone wanting a raise

 

And goodnight Margo

Please move to Fargo
