July 27, 20179 yr OK... maybe I should have worded it as "had an opportunity to win."And lost that opportunity because our shallow / shaky bullpen was repeatedly exposed. This is supposed to make us feel better how?
July 27, 20179 yr Does anyone else think Kepler could have stolen home off of Kenley Jansen in the 9th inning last night? Didn't realize that Jansen had such a slow set delivery. I thought Mauer should have stolen home off Maeda Tuesday night too. Kepler would need to get a good feel for Jansen's move, and of course a good jump. I assume Molitor would provide cover if Kepler is tagged out. I think it would have been worth a shot.
July 27, 20179 yr LA started all three games with their "spare parts-type" SPs--kind of like this is an exhibition game/series. Houston used a similar strategy. It is as it the "Twins don't matter" in their perspective. Given the final results, apparently they are correct. Pretending that today's 49-51 record means "they are almost there" ignores the bitch-slapping the Twins get when facing the top teams. Unless "there" is a .500 record and endless "what if" story lines for beer bars, blogs and Bremer.

No way!
