About the only thing left to cheer for this miserable year is that there is not an ugly dugout finger pointing/fighting incident between TC players 

I'd prefer to see a Twins player charge the Twins dugout in fury. At least they would show some emotion.

Sorry I was making some asparagus, was there something between Ryan and joe

Wallner solo HR.  Odd.

Solo Homer runs seem to be a pattern...

When I watch Ryan I see a dejected guy. We can't know what is going on within the clubhouse. The team looks uninterested.

Look at how dejected TD has been.(95% of us) Imagine having to look Rocco in the eye and hold back from punching him.

....I feel bad for him...he is a pro but it must be tough...same for Lopez...even Buxton...

Buxton’s happy…not a peep out of him during this debacle, other than to praise ownership. If winning something…ever…is high on his professional priority list, it doesn’t show much.

Think he's got issues with the defense from last game.. Jeffers has caught a lot of games in a row. Might be more to this stretch than meets the eye 

I think it's clear as day he has issues.

Can't blame him. Who wants to show up every day embarrassed by your team?

I don't know that I can remember any player ever so consistently hitting meaningless home runs as Wallner this year.  Most likely recency bias.

Joe’s middle name is my guess

Someone is going to leak something this off-season. I still maintain taking to Ty France would be illuminating. Some of our guys have probably set up a breakfast date already.

What was his issue with the defense? You aren’t allowed to put outfielders in the stands?

[ziggy]

so Outman is a plus defender Falvey says..........

Wallner should never be allowed in the field. He is a big part of Ryan's issues. Wallner has potential as a pure DH.

Yeah he stinks at hitting plus he stinks on defense 

[Patzky]

Sox are beating up on KC early too FWIW.

He's the proverbial 5 no-tool player.

The Athletics game was a clownshow behind him in the infield

Who needs a LF that tracks flyball?

But he has nice hair so he is a worthy replacement for Bader.

Total conjecture but the young players must struggle to relate to Byron. I'm not seeing the effort that suggests the younger and/or inexperienced players are loving being a Twin. Buck isn't leading anything.

Keirsey has his faults..

In all fairness, I’ve heard that he has Sheboygan on his mind

[Patzky]

The team misses Vazquez more than is admitted out loud.

[USAFChief]

Stolen base with 2 out and only a runner on 1st, without even a throw. 

Well managed team, Rocco. You have em operating at peak competitiveness.

Wallner has all of 12 rbi's on the year driving in someone other than himself. Twelve.

[Irishman]

Too many solo homeruns!

And according to Provich the Blue Jays are near the bottom in stolen bases.

Consider the alternative (8-0)

[AceWrigley]

Well, at least we gave the run back right away. Wouldn't want any hope to flourish.

He does have a way of making losing less stressful.

[Aggies7]

We’ve already reached the point of the game where the opponent begins to clown us
