    Twins needed length from a struggling SWR and the defense let him down. Lewis and Correa errors caused extra pitches but SWR snuk through. Then Buxton's drop. You can't keep giving extra bases and not expect the worst to catch up to you. SWR has a better chance to get through 5 with only a couple runs given up with clean play and without all those extra pitches.

    I understand mathmatically it will be hard for the Twins to miss the playoffs, but I thnk they can do it.

    Three candidates for worst loss of the season all within a week.

    Seemed like Twins offense of earlier in the year. Just absolutly refused to change approach through out the game. Also, Cards exposed Festa in the run game hard. And they cashed in every time.

    Low attendance is just the latest thing. Dr Pepper over taking Pepsi s as the #2 brand in the country. The price of snacks going down. The Pohlads are losing money hand over fist in all their investments. It’s clearly why they pocketed the cash from the renewed Ballys contract. Gotta prop up that personal wealth.

    Twins fianlly won when Cleveland lost! Gleeman was wrong. The Guardians are the Boogyman, lurking.

    On th radio it sounds like the outfield doesn't know what base to throw to. Could have given up 1-2 less runs. Rocco's got to be losing his mind over that. Could really use Buxton out there. I also bet the Fo is rethinking not signing Taylor.

    Unreal. Why let Alcala start the inning. It’s like Rocco wants him to fail. Not a two inning guy. If you wanted to pack it in just stick with Okert.

    Listen on AM 830 or the Audicy App. Radio has been my primary form of game Twins game consumption for years. Chris Attaberry is great and I've alsways preferred him to Provis so I'm enjoing the full time change. Provis and Gladden had a fun relationship to listen to but Attaberry is far better at call actual game action and is more colorful, IMO. I remember listening ot him call an inning solo once a few years back (Gladden must have been taking a dump or something) and it was amazing.

    I see a Tiger team that’s taken every advantage given to them in 5 games cashing in on Twins mistakes. The twins do not.

    Kep spent 2.5 years terrible at the plate. He had to be scoldedmid-year to start preparing like a big leaguer to start performing in 2023. I think that's a pretty good indication of his work ethic. Prime for regression. Value high. Trade him, now.

    I would love to see one mid-week night game on local TV, Fox 9+ or 45 or somthing like that (streaming and everything else, sure). Broadcast in the five state area (Twins Territory). I think this would be enough to generate interest and get newer and younger fans to the Twins. If more games are televised, say one a series, now you grow MLB fans because those new Twins fans see not only the Twins but all other 29 teams once or twince a year. One free game a week I think would grow base by saciating the casual fan and wetting the appetite for those who will go find and pay for it. I don't think cramming streaming down ones throat through one pay service or another is the way to go w/o a minimalist free option. On the side, I'm a big radio fan and think more could be done to promote that medium.
