I almost ended up going to this game. I'm kinda glad I didn't.

Well, Grossman's wacky outfield folly was the 2016 shark jump moment for me.

And even before Grossie's double downward dog error, the bullpen was on pace for a 300 pitch night to record the last 9 outs.

Grossman nightmare tonight: He lets a ball get by him, goes to get it but kicks it, picks it up but the ball slips out of his hand, then for some unsightly reason he thinks there are three outs and he tosses the ball to a fan in the stands.

 

Then he wakes up and says oh thank god only 2 of those things really happened to me I must still be a member of The Twins.

Could we simply forfeit these last few games?  Just take home the mitts and bats, hire the new guy, and start it up again in February?

 

This is worse than watching Sam Deduno and Jamie Carroll...

Two errors on one play!

I think that play summed up our season! Total system failure!!!

That guy should be on our team.

That Grossman play made this game worth watching. Twins baseball at it's best.

Sam Deduno would be our #2 starter!

Get to know 'em!

Ok, 10's a nice, round number, so let's maybe go ahead and wrap it up, Twins.

 

Two errors on one play!

 

That's it? Slackers.

That's the Milone I know!

Tommy John had 3

Logan Schafer, the poor man's Eric Komatsu....

 

 

Tommy John had 3

Excellent baseball knowledge, but that was different because nobody liked Tommy John.

Yeah, Dick explained it--humorous.

 

Why was I watching the top of the 8th inning?

Now there's a name that brings back some memories.

I thought the wild pitch on the intentional walk summed up our season.  I'm so confused!

As the Game Thread approaches the brutal 8th inning wall of another blowout, Brian and Chief arrive just in time to pass out 'Likes' to weary posters...

Going against advice, mindcrime gulps his 'likes' and quickly pays the price.

Seriously...they have absolutely zero regard for us as fans, running this collection out there night after night. I feel bad or Dozier. If I was him I'd be asking out.

 

This is not a major league team. This is not a major league manager. It's just sad.

I didn't see it happen but I wish I would've! Don't be confused you're right! \m/

The fact that Suzuki is catching baffles me. I would think that Murphy should be out there getting experience, or at least Centeno.

This team, as assembled, would not even sniff the AAA playoffs.

I thought Murphy should be playing as well. Twins!
