    Cave's also a downgrade offensively.

    Maybe I missed something, but I thought Romo gave up two hits in the 9th, then also walked home the go-ahead run with the bases loaded? Yes there was an error that inning, but Romo did not pitch well. At all.

    Pathetic effort and an insult to all Minnesota fans. I don't give a damn if none of these guys were on the team when this playoff losing streak started, the uniform remains the same and for us fans it doesn't matter who's wearing it. Maybe Rocco should think about that for a minute if he can look up from his roto-matic strategy handbook. Where's the heart? Raise your hand if you knew Romo would blow this thing wide open.This guy shouldn't be on the team, let alone on the playoff roster. He should be pitching in lopsided losses and not one-run playoff games. Romo won't have a job after this year, and shouldn't. Nice guy, cool dude, but his expiration date is long past due. We all can see it, why can't the FO? Bases loaded in the 1st with one out. Two men on and nobody out in the 5th. Zip, zero, zilch. Two dang hits the whole game! Against a very shaky Grienke and an erratic 'Stros bullpen. Astros have the worst road record in the playoffs, Twins have the best home record. Yet here we sit. And once again, Maeda deserves so much better. He's gotta be scratching his head "I thought this team could hit?!?!"

    We all knew it was a long shot, but hard to blame this loss on Willians.
  5. bighat
    Couldn't do that if you tried. That record will never be broken - unless we break it tomorrow night.
  6. bighat
    They're just embarrassing themselves, the rest of baseball doesn't take them seriously enough to be disappointed in the Minnesota Twins.
  7. bighat
    We are all expecting it to get much worse, trust me.

    Definition of a trash heap signing, Twins brass should have known better this year.
  9. bighat
    Romo is such garbage, should never have been resigned in the first place or pitching on this team in the postseason....but then again the offense is a joke too. Like you all said, way too much blame to go around. I can't even explain how frustrating this is, but I know at least I share that feeling with all of you, who completely understand. Terrible baseball.

    Twins refusal to play small ball (ie: a Buxton bunt in the last half inning) has once again cost them runs. The arguments against bunting a runner over there are completely invalid. This is a 1-0 playoff game and your team has lost 16 straight.
  11. bighat
    Twins should be up by at least 2 right now, they've got to capitalize here and put this away.
  12. bighat
    Hoping for 5 at this point.

    I have a feeling a lot of MLB employees in the advertising/network side of things are already working on their sales pitches to keep this format in the future. It's a slap in the face to the game, the fans, and the players but they don't watch the game, they watch their bank statements and it always comes down to $$$.

    Unlucky inning there, right out of Twins Playoff central casting. Here we go again....
  15. bighat
    Wow Polanco batting 7th, hmmmm....
  16. bighat
    Yep. Plus he barely played this season and made the bonehead play of the year by getting tossed in the Twins' biggest game of the season. I like the guy's energy and still think the Twins needed this type of player on the team but it hasn't worked out so far. Other MLB teams have to be extremely relieved they didn't sign Donaldson. A great player but his injury issues are indeed a major problem. Initial grade on the signing has to be a D+ at best.

    Brings back memories of that old 1987 VHS Championship tape!
  18. bighat
    Is it service-time related, maybe?
  19. bighat
    For those wondering: the Cleveland vs. Yankees series (the 4-5 matchup) is getting the 7pm ET time slots on both Tuesday and Wednesday nights.
  20. bighat
    Quick glance and methinks the Twins have about the easiest road to the league championship out there. Say what you will, good teams take advantage of these opportunities. This team has lost 16 straight postseason games, which is not just amazing but also embarrassing. A win on Tuesday will have everyone believing.

    Expanded playoffs are great for leagues like the NFL and NBA. The league can make extra $$$ while also ensuring that the truly good teams are rewarded with winnable matchups. After all, a bad team in those leagues doesn't often beat a good team. In baseball, a long season and a small playoff field is needed to give those truly good teams a chance to go for the title. The worst team in baseball is the Pittsburgh Pirates. They could easily - without a doubt - win two games against a team like the Twins (we've seen it happen already this year) in a 3 game series. To put a division winner in a position like that is an absolute slap in the face. We've seen Wildcard teams win World Series titles in the past - including last year. MLB is expanding the playoffs this year to make a little extra $$$ due to all the lost time from Covid-19. But this should absolutely not be a part of the future of the game, and anyone who thinks otherwise probably puts ketchup on their steak while wearing a Loony Toons jean jacket. Let's not water this league down more than it already is.

    Interesting stats you dug up here, thanks for sharing!

    Can't win 'em all - I think we all would be happy with 2-of-3 from the Reds. Nice reminder to the Twins players that they're not playing the Tigers anymore and won't be for a long, long time. Rocco sits Cruz down for a week because of a "knee injury" (wink wink) and the guy's so rusty he couldn't even make contact. Yeeps. Worst case scenario in the case of Donaldson and Buxton. We certainly won't be seeing them for the rest of the regular season, here's hoping that the "B Squad" can win the next 2 very important games. They'd better be back for the postseason.

    If the Indians pass the Sox also, then it'll be those very same White Sox the Twins will face in the playoffs. If the Sox stay ahead of the Indians but behind the Twins, the Twins will play the Indians. Can't believe I'm saying this, but I'd almost rather play the Yankees than either of those teams. In my defense, I haven't had my morning coffee yet.

    Bullpen put a bit of a wet blanket on that one. Big picture though, this was great. Way to go Maeda and the offense.
