LOL.  

 

I mean, new to being a twins fan.  Because the Pohlad's being cheap is apparently their strategy.

Ah I see now.  No I have been a twins fan my whole life.  I know they are cheap.  I was just really hoping that this would be the year that they would do something. 

[BunchOfish]

And just like that the new guy blows it.  Nice start.  I give him a pass this time to get things figured out with the team.

[Hoyt4]

Give him a pass ,that was on the manager putting in a guy right off the plane. That should not of happen dude just walked into the ball park a few innings before that.

Well, at least the Twins won the Big game a few times.  Vik's not so much.

I think that the fact that they had to used Rogers in the last 2 games played a big part in that decision. At least the Astros beat Cleveland & they're still up 3

[Duffman]

Yea, it was a bonehead maneuver to put him in.

3 hours sleep,  was still in a jet when the game started, hadn't met a soul on the team.

Big time pass on his debut.

 

And things can only look up from here on for him......right?

*fingers crossed*

[Hoyt4]

We need to start sweeping series. Cleveland improved with power to the outfield.Two 20 plus homerun guys ,the guy from the Padres is a stud and going to be with them for 5 year if I saw that deal right. Kluber is going to be back in a few weeks. So the Twins need to put more than 3 games between them now not later. We have a few tough series coming up. Next week against the Braves is another test, they got better at the trade deadline and could be in the WS this year.

[gunner55]

Another crazy game last night, thought Sano's error was going cost 'em the game. May & Romo were the only ones able to do much right on the mound. Good thing Cruz & Kepler were hot.

[gunner55]

A nice win yesterday with the shutout. Buxton. Pineda, & Dyson to the IL though. Braves in town for 3

[Duffman]

I'll be really curious where we stand after the next 7 games.

Buxton out always hurts, time to step up boys.

[gunner55]

Yeah, I've heard Bremer mention it  quite a few times but it's still kind of hard to believe the difference in their record when Buxton starts. With him starting it's something like 25+ games over 500 & when he's not it's more like 15 games under 500.

Twins win with a walk off!

Its a good thing Buxton is good when he plays because he is ALWAYS hurt.

A lot of that is because of his speed & he thinks he can catch everything. I'm sure there's been some discussion, at least among the brass, on trying to get him to tone it down a little. Hope he figures it out on his own as we need him healthy, especially the next couple months.

They do seem like a bunch of good guys who all get along & have fun playing together. Romo's even mentioned that in a couple of his post game interviews already.

He has to learn to avoid the wall. If its a close game I am all for trying to be aggressive and make the play. But some of this injuries out there have happened late in the game with a big lead. The risk outweighs the reward in those scenarios.

 

I would like to see them move Schoop over to 2nd base, and put Arraez or Marwin in Right field. Cave is a mess out there right now and we cant have that in a pennant race.

Hard to watch that 1 last night. At least the bullpen did a good job& the bats came alive in the 6th. Too little, too late.

Maybe if you called them & talked to them real nice...................... oh wait, I forgot who I was talkin to......................... forget it.

[gunner55]

They had their chances to make the last 2 against the Braves a lot closer but couldn't get the big 2 out hit. Did hit it hard a couple times in that spot but the Braves "D" stepped up. Gibson gets the ball tonight.

[Duffman]

Can't be spotting teams 10 run leads.

Even the bats of the Twins can't overcome that.

 

And I hear the Indians are excited to come here.

Ya hear that boys? Time to quash that excitement.

[BunchOfish]

Well they better figure out something because their lead is about to be gone...

[rundrave]

Anybody remember this from the old metrodome days, they should tape it to Kyle Gibsons locker:

[BunchOfish]

I said they need to get some pitching help before the dead line and so far I haven't seen much help from them.  I'm trying to stay positive but my hopes are slipping with every game lately.

[chaffmj]

Sorry it was my fault that they lost today. I tuned in to listen one batter before the grand slam in extra innings! Is this the end or do you think they can still win the division?
