  1. Great game, Eddie! Honestly, the Twins have put themselves into a position where they really need a win tomorrow as well. A win puts them just 3 games back, and a sweep might bring some much needed swagger back into the clubhouse. Hate to get greedy, but I think in order to really start rolling they need tomorrow's game as well. Regardless, nice to see some fight on the road from this team here. Nice game from Mauer, hope he plays tomorrow as well.

  3. Romero hasn't been too good after those first couple of games. I hope Molitor goes to the pen before he gives up the lead. He should be pulled if he makes it through the 4th IMO.
  4. Agreed. Tough way to leave the game. Tough out for Joe unfortunately as well, for what it's worth.
  5. Yeah, it's a hard reset. Sano's got some major malware issues and clearing the browser history ain't gonna fix that. They are reinstalling Windows and starting from scratch. This might take a while. Man. Losing Polanco, Buxton, Sano for virtually the entire 2018 season has just been soul crushing. Instead we get a Logan Morrison in what appears to be his last season as an every day player, Ryan LaMarre, Ehire Adrianza, and Taylor Motter. We all said at the beginning of the year: "Hey, at least we won't have any trouble hitting", and wow...just sad man. I'm less interested in the "whys" that surround Sano's placement in Ft. Myers, and more interested in how the Twins coaching and front office managed to flush this year down the john. I think this mess all starts with Pohlad insisting that Molitor keep his job when Falvine was hired.
  6. Gordon. It's gotta be Gordon, please please please.
  7. Amazing how the Twins two "can't miss" superstars of the future have both hit rock bottom this year. Buxton and Sano aren't just floundering, they aren't just struggling, they aren't disappointingly average...they are really at the bottom-of-the-barrel of their respective careers. We love to complain about Sano and Bux, but this is epic failure is equally about the Twins development team & major league coaching staff. I can see how maybe one of these guys wouldn't meet expectations. But both of them just SO terrible at this point in their careers? I'm embarrassed for the Twins organization, this is just unforgivable. Total system failure, just like 2016.
  8. Wow Sano sent to high A ball, Ft. Myers...that's the report. Mauer replaces Sano, not sure who comes up for Cave.
  9. Tie game...no way the Twins score again, another good start wasted. I dislike this team right now.
  10. Thank you!!! They can't get any worse by firing Molitor...but they could get better. Really hope a change is made - the front office has to at least try something before they give up on the season.
  11. I'd 100% be on board for an Ozzie Guillen led Twins team, starting yesterday!
  12. The Tigers' Victor Reyes was 2-for-17 with nine strikeouts after 0-2 counts this season, before lacing that RBI single off Reed.
  13. And tonight it's 2 runs*. Cost us the game, yet again. He's been awful for 3 weeks and Molitor shouldn't be using him. Terrible offense yet again for this team. Another bad game, this was getting old last month, nothing has changed. If Molitor can't motivate this group of guys then it's on the front office to start the youth movement and rebuild. It's time for one or the other to happen. *Edit: make that 4 runs.
  14. I've always really liked the Detroit play-by-play TV guys as well.
  15. Dozier with another pop-up. Even Dick Bremer's on his case! Twins might be able to steal this one...
  16. Kepler's been bad lately, Dozier's asleep. Nice RBI for Sano there. Hope the Twins can hold on here and win this opener.
  17. Twins 'pen doing their thing, deflating the momentum as quickly and efficiently as possible. C'mon Hildy, just shut the darn door.
  18. Looks like another 1-2 run game tonight for the Twins offense. By the look of the number of posts on this thread, interest in this team has dropped off the cliff. Hard to blame the fans.
  19. Adrianza and LaMarre. We'll take it!
  20. Check out Jacob deGrom's stats over in the New York Mets page, he's got an ERA of 1.57 over 13 starts, but somehow just has a 4-1 record...including a loss last night.
  21. With yesterday's series opening loss to the Angels, The Twins moved to 7-14 in series openers in 2018. In all other games, the Twins are 20-19. When you drop the opening game of a series, you're playing under duress for the rest of the series. Game 1 is the most important game in any series, and the Twins are dropping them at an alarming rate. Unprepared? Unmotivated? Unlucky? All of the above? To me this is on the manager and coaching staff. Players are certainly accountable, but when teams are losing this type of game at this pace, whoever is in charge of preparation should be evaluated. Thoughts?
  22. Rosario, Escobar, and Berrios aside, this team isn't fun to watch and they are not very good.
  23. Because the Angels are a stacked right-handed lineup, Molitor couldn't use a lefty out of the pen, and Reed has been stinking it up. The 'pen is terrible, frankly, aside from Rodney. Shoulda put Duff Man in there in hindsight.
