Indians lost. Darn. 

 

Oh stop it, no one is “hoping” for a loss but you’d be a darn fool to “want the Yankees”. They’re a better club even without the almost 20 year curse. Call me crazy but I’d like to see a playoff win, haven’t seen one since before I got my driver’s license. My patience has grown as thin as my hair. We match up better with the White Sox or even the rays. I guess that makes one a coward Or a bad fan.

This. The Yankees are the best team in the AL Not wanting to have to face them in the 1st round is simply logical, curse aside.

Amazing to see so many teams just not losing. Finishing strong

Sano the last seven games: 2/23 with 12 strikeouts. 087/087/348

Had opportunities to do it ourselves by winning that White Sox series. Totally blew it. 

I would be more likely to spend money at Pizza Ranch if they had different commercials. I picture 30 seconds with their logo on the screen with a spokesperson saying something like this:  "We are Pizza Ranch. We hope you patronize our restaurants because we buy advertising on Twins games." That would be better than seeing the same bad spots they've been showing for the past few years.

oh max, u look lost

Kepler last seven games: 2/20     .100/.182/100

Twins just look like they're going through the motions. Hopefully the playoffs will spark some life into the team. 

The complete inability for the twins to put together an actual inning with multiple hits and runs is shocking. 10 of their last 12 runs have come off of home runs.

Rocco: "Middle of the lineup material!"

Polanco last 7 games: 2/21 .095/.240/.095

Hopefully there's no health related reasons for Gardy's sudden retirement.

STOP!!!

Light crowd here tonight. Probably the complainers keeping folks away   

 

Hopefully there's no health related reasons for Gardy's sudden retirement.

My thoughts as well. I think there are definite short-term health issues, but I hope there are no longer-term problems

 

Hopefully there's no health related reasons for Gardy's sudden retirement.

He said it was for health reasons. Hopefully not too serious. 

Didn't realize that the Tigers had both Gardenhire and McClendon. A lot of ejection memories there

I guess I’m a fool, I WANT the Yankees, winning one playoff series means nothing, and if “tank to avoid the Yanks” isn’t hoping for losses I don’t know what is. You said it yesterday too., so you stop and I will too

Way to work out of it, Big Mike!

 

STOP!!!

OK. To summarize: every Twin not named Buxton last seven days: 2/2x ~.100/.100/.100

I'll go one better for ya -- 27 of the last 30 runs have been on dingers.

That can’t be true

Tight zone for this ump. Outside of a pitch or two, the zone has been consistent. Pineda has only fanned one, but he's surviving.

Bad luck, but it would have been a DP anyway, unless it hit him and bounced away.

If the Twins scored the same number of runs in the last week on only singles and doubles there would be concerns expressed that we weren't hitting enough home runs.

Hopefully the whole last third of the Twins' lineup tonight is gone next year

 

If the Twins scored the same number of runs in the last week on only singles and doubles there would be concerns expressed that we weren't hitting enough home runs.

Possibly, but home runs are fickle. It’s concerning to see an entire offense struggle to even get on base.

And those complaints would be valid, too.
