If you're going to use Duran, why would he not enter when Jax did? Rally in progress, top of the order about to come up?

yes sir

Probably kaput cuz of an error.

Another hit on an 0-2 pitch.  Cleveland is great at putting balls in play.

So now Gordon injured? Can’t wait till next year.  I think we have the best team in the division.  If they have half the IL time as this year (leading the league) I think they win easy.

May well be right, but we'll obviously never know for sure.

They remind me of the TWINS teams of the early 2000’s

Blown leads by Bullpen pitchers all year,   Bullpen staff needs to be upgraded after season ends.

I'm watching the Cleveland feed for this game.  I thought  Bremer and Company were hard to swallow.  I gotta believe Cleveland's announcers wear cheerleading uniforms in the booth.

I don’t have a problem with that , they’re Cleveland’s announcers, they’re Cleveland fans… it’s not a National broadcast

What i miss?

And is a whole lot better at it than we are.

One series where Arraez is not needed for his bat but his ability at Second Base.

Crappy way to end your playoff hopes

The beginning of the end is underway, I think.

More like the middle of the end, close to the end of the end.

So does the offense. 

Sigh... what a joke

But not too surprising, at least to me.

New and exciting ways to lose.....

I thought you wanted him at first base

I stand corrected. 

Why do I keep watching this crap?  I like to think I've led a good life, and don't feel the need to punish myself.   This team is just flat out cursed.

Rocco looks stunned. He has run out of excuses 

Cleveland owns the Twins. Twins might win one game this series

Typical.  Barring unusual circumstances season kaput.  Oh maybe they win the next four.  ha

You like Gordon at Second?

Not sure I would use the terms "new" or "exciting" here.  It's not new to this team a I don't find it particularly exciting either. 

I'm going to be the sunny optimist, and say that when our Twins win it all in a year or two, we'll look back at 2022 and say, they just weren't ready to win yet.

Highly unlikely, in my opinion. 

This game has gotten ridiculous. Even Duran has been awful. Scoring from 2nd on a wild pitch is very hard to do, but the Twins do find new and exciting ways to lose important ballgames.

Seems somehow fitting if the Twins season ends on a blown 3-0 lead with the winning run scoring from SECOND on a wild pitch. From your best reliever.

The game probably will stand as a miniature replica of the season as a whole - good enough start but not dominant, and then things start to fall apart and they can't recover.

BP actually did ok if you could excise one error.
