Plenty of time left in the season. The bats need to turn a corner though. Since the break the hits have been tough to find. The defense has also regressed a bit, which is expected with Buxton out. This KC series has put faulty defense on full display. Arguably Bradley should have escaped without giving up a run. Ryan was shaky but only gave up two legitimate runs. Ober gave up the two run homer today. That makes only 4 earned runs in the series. Who is even available as a bat?

It's not as much fun to watch a team that is unable to hit.

They have a way of finding rock bottom.

Not wanting to jinx him, but at 2nd base Lewis' does not seem to have the iron glove he has a First Base.

I noticed that right away in the game.  Lewis seemed to fumble the ball on the feed to Kreidler on a potential double play.  I think he is a serviceable 2nd baseman if we need him in the lineup.  His defense is definitely better at 1st base.

Are they all trying to hit dingers , rather than simple little Texas league singles?

The "hitting the ball hard" is more bull ****, when a simple soft single is worth more than a 100 mph out.

Well..I am amazed some of the people they include and exclude. I have been to the HOF twice. Of course, I really question how Mauer made it on the first ballot..

I really like Mauer (one of my favorite players of all time) but I never had him as a first ballot

That might be their most defining skill.  Between that and shooting themselves in the foot at absolutely the worst time possible.

👎  vikings are worse then twins-Vikings are my most hated Minnesota team 

Don't agree...full house at each game..people pay to see them on weekends at home and in the stands during the cold winters...football rules America even for four time SB losers...

Winning 5 series in a row 2-1, is basically erased with one period of slump. This team needs to go on a winning streak or these small series wins won’t mean anything at this point in the season. With a loss today 3-7 against KC this year?

I cannot understand this strong dependence on lefty righty hitting setting such a preference over musical positions on the field.  It does not seem to make a difference.

Right now, I'd say that NFL football is more America's game than MLB baseball is, due to a multiple of on field and off field reasons.

I believe that he remains the youngest HOF living..but his hair is graying
