September 5, 20179 yr simply can't struggle like this against the dregs of the leagues in a playoff race.
September 5, 20179 yr This team's in trouble if they drop this series.Angels and Yankees just keep winning, and we're giving games away to teams behind us (Royals and Rays). Not feeling real great about where we're headed (on terms of the playoffs this year).Yeah, you made that very clear yesterday.
September 5, 20179 yr Dropping Santana and Berrios starts consecutively to fellow wildcard contenders....Better luck next year.
September 5, 20179 yr simply can't struggle like this against the dregs of the leagues in a playoff race.Last I looked, the Rays are one sweep away from being right in the hunt.
September 5, 20179 yr Berrios just can't keep the ball down. High and tight is where you pitch Dickerson. He just had a good at bat.
September 5, 20179 yr The Rays have good pitching. Better pitching than LA or Baltimore, in my opinion. Fortunately we miss the Ray's best pitcher this series.
September 5, 20179 yr Last I looked, the Rays are one sweep away from being right in the hunt.And so are the blue jays. A lot of teams are "in the hunt" this year, doesn't mean they are a good club.
September 5, 20179 yr Author The wins are gonna feel good and the losses are gonna hurt. There is no getting around this. Its how September is supposed to feel.
September 5, 20179 yr simply can't struggle like this against the dregs of the leagues in a playoff race. Serioulsy? Tampa still in the second Wild Card race! Hardly "dregs".
September 5, 20179 yr Author And so are the blue jays. A lot of teams are "in the hunt" this year, doesn't mean they are a good club. And the Padres took 3 out of 4 from the Dodgers. It's baseball. The Margins are always thin. No shame losing to the Rays. It's just plain ole shame... losing to anyone right now.
September 5, 20179 yr Not sure how you let Berrios pitch to Dickerson, 2 on, none out, Berrios clearly struggling. Managerial malpractice. You didn't see TB let Cobb pitch to Rosario.
September 5, 20179 yr Serioulsy? Tampa still in the second Wild Card race! Hardly "dregs".The rays are 26-30 since July 1. The AL is a mess, 11 of 15 teams are "still alive". This is a series we need to win. maybe we will. And with our thin/shaky starting rotation, we need to do better than 0-2 in Santana/berrios starts, that's all Edited September 5, 20179 yr by Aggies7
September 5, 20179 yr The AL is a mess, 11 of 15 teams are "still alive".That's called parity. Or maybe mediocrity. Either way it's going to make for interesting times.

This is a series we need to win. maybe we will.And with our thin/shaky starting rotation, we need to do better than 0-2 in Santana/berrios starts, that's all The Dodgers are the worst team in baseball since two saturdays ago. All good points you make here. But the point I and a couple others are making to you, and disagreeing with, is Tampa is not the "dregs". A 10 game winning streak, and they are the second wild card.
September 5, 20179 yr Twins have 3 hits. Hard to win ballgames on three hits. Maybe if the bases were walked loaded 3 times and the hits were 3 grand slam home runs......
September 5, 20179 yr That's called parity. Or maybe mediocrity. Either way it's going to make for interesting times.Hey, all I'm saying is that a team with legitimate playoff aspirations needs to beat the less talented teams, especially with their best starters throwing. If we lose tonight, since august 21, the twins will have gone 8-7 against not one team above .500...it's crunch time now, have to be better!
September 5, 20179 yr I am curious to see how posters blame Molitor and Falvine for tonight--but I am confident they will do it.
September 5, 20179 yr The Dodgers are the worst team in baseball since two saturdays ago. All good points you make here. But the point I and a couple others are making to you, and disagreeing with, is Tampa is not the "dregs". A 10 game winning streak, and they are the second wild card.LA is also 48 games above .500 and has a 13.5 game lead. A 10 game win streak would do wonders for most every team.
September 5, 20179 yr LA is also 48 games above .500 and has a 13.5 game lead. A 10 game win streak would do wonders for most every team. Wow. I hadn't noticed that. I couple weeks ago it was a 22 game lead. Hey... I live in LA. I pay attention, too, but hadn't realized how many games they dropped. Edited September 5, 20179 yr by h2oface
September 5, 20179 yr what the **** is Perkins doing on this roster! Can I say that here?Now that it's September it doesn't really matter.
September 5, 20179 yr Wow. I hadn't noticed that. I couple weeks ago it was a 22 game lead. Hey... I live in LA. I pay attention, too, but hadn't realized how many games they dropped.Yeah, and it only took a 10 game win streak by Arizona to trim the lead to a thin 13.5 games lol
