September 24, 20188 yr After watching mostly frustrating 2018 season for the Twins, I felt like I was sucker punched with all of the walk off losses. I was wondering if the Twins were close to some kind of record. Turns out that we are! Check out this MLB.com article by Rhett Bollinger. We tied the franchise record was set in 1964, And are one away from the MLB record. Fortunately, the Twins won today and now close out the season at home. So at least we won't have the infamy of having that record. Will 2019 be a repeat of 1965 - we can only hope! A walk-off loss, shows the inability for the late reliever (whether that is the closer or not) to hold the game. It's obvious we have had a hole in that spot most of the year. I know that the Twins have had a few walk-off wins. What is the differential? And I wonder what the record is for that?
September 24, 20188 yr Walk-off losses also suggest an inability to put the other team away earlier in the game. A weak offense asks too much of the bullpen to throw zeroes night after night.
