He basically stopped producing the moment Jeffers came back. 

He just reverted to his career norms, June was a career month.

Noah Cameron is basically Sandy Koufax. 

3 in a row, 7 inn or more, 2  or less hits.

Will Zoll get us help in Milwaukee from St. Paul or will he go dumpster diving and say look we are being proactive.  Or worse just sit on his hands and do nothing.

All Jeffers’ fault 😇

[Saxophone Joe]

How fitting that Cory didn’t get back to talking about our RISP struggles because we never got a runner in scoring position after the 4th. 😭

We just bought the wrong things. We needed hitters, not pitching. 

DFA Twins Ownership!

How about getting a real general manager and say good bye to Zoll.

We have better players in St Paul then any dang dumpster diving would add. Twins need a boost, and a couple guys look slow with bats, could use a little rest. Kramer pitched good tonight.

Needed both. And not fringe. 

Don’t forget fielding. We just needed lots of pitching, a middle of the order bat, a platoon righty for a corner outfield spot, and better defense at several positions. That’s all we needed!

Some would call this a sell situation. But I digress.

Half the lineup qualifies. 

[Saxophone Joe]

In another place & time, Austin Martin’s catch in the 8th saves the season. Instead, instantly forgotten.

I agree but he seems very reluctant to pull the trigger.  My fear is he is Falvey 2.0 and only values veterans so he will go dumpster diving.  And I really hope I am wrong.

Bobby Witt obviously made plays in field that made Royals better. Jeffers hit two rockets that were right at people. Twins were a little unlucky in Seattle and KC today.

Brewers scheduled starters LHP Gasser LHP Drohan RHP Miz

Eventually it should even out, then

 I'm not confident.

If Zoll does any self scoutiing,which I think the FO staff does, they should be able to tell some players not fresh could use a DL stint, and Jenkins and Culpepper bring an element of speed, fielding,  and base running Twins need. 

[Patzky]

Eye test says Lee, Caratini, Larnach, defeated.

Clemens, gassed. Jeffers uninterested.

Kriedler, Martin, overmatched.

Royce Bell and Keaschall, improving.

Self scouting has never been a strength of this front office and it is all the same personnel.  So I am not sure what they are looking at.

Clemens looks a little gassed. Caratini looks sore, limping, Lee looks a touch tired too.

You don’t get unlucky against a 46-67 team that comes in of being swept by Colorado. You just play bad baseball.

Both can be true.

Caratini blowing that challenge in Seattle at the end sorta started this skid. Might have won game 2, who knows.

Almost sounds like a Brewers sweep.

I thought having Witt back, for the Royals changed this series, he picked some balls that looked like hits today. Yesterday he broke open the game with that double. I mean he was best player on field tonight, one of the better ones in MLB. I dont understand why Twins struggle so much with left handed pitching, other than approach isn't working. They have to start having better at bats. Twins ars pressing at the plate right now.

Maybe we should hire the Tren Twins as trainers

[Permanent Twins Fan]

We need offense!! Bring up Jenkins or Culpepper tomorrow.

[Saxophone Joe]

Witt’s play - which was amazing in how routine he made it look - saved multiple runs. But you can’t let that be your only scoring opportunity. That was our only inning with a RISP.

Twins will be in 4th in division if Tigers beat Seattle tonight. 

And if Seattle wins, they pass the Twins in the wild card, so…

Agree on Witt. And yet, last week the Royals were a couple outs away from sweeping the Twins at home and without Witt.

Clemens is a classic case of being a 3-4 game a week player at the most,  and because he was being pretty good Shelton and Mgmt over played it  by making him a everyday player  and 3-4 hitter He is neither , love what he has done but there ruining it  and then younger guys never get a consistent idea of who they are ,  Kreidler  pretty similar  , gotta quit with the  thought these 2 are more than what they have always been,  its Terrible Management , ,  as p/t utility guys they have a role ,   quit with the  bull!!!!!!!!
