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

If we’re lucky, which we usually aren't.

BP actually did ok if you could excise one error.

And the Sanchez experience in the ninth, to boot. 

[insagt1]

Twins will probably go 1,2,3 in the 9th...cuz thats the way this game rolls. Stand by...

BP gave up 5 hits and a walk, and 4 runs in the last 2 innings.

[ashbury]

All right, Bottom of the Batting Order, save the season.

[Montdak]

Scoring from second on a WP just goes with the ton of bad beats. bad luck and hoses by the umps we have dealt with all year.

This one will likely be another one to add to the list.

Bleeders and bloopers most.  No drives.

Not to mention they wouldn’t have been up there at bat at all without the error.

I can’t think of a more suitable ending to this team’s season

Agreed

[LVTwinsfan]

Just run on the first pitch Billy

[tony&rodney]

Hamilton has to run ... NOW.

Unsuitable - doesn't suit me anyway - but entirely symbolic.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Unless we sweep the next four, which I find highly unlikely, this season is now all but over in about 2.5 weeks.

So true!

[tony&rodney]

Nail.

[USAFChief]

Is Celestino pulling a 4 bottom plow, or 6?

Very small consolation there.

[Aggies7]

The playoff loss streak will have to wait another long year until it grows. Sad.

[LVTwinsfan]

Catching them was a long shot, they won’t now, even if we win the next four, Guardians finish with six vs KC while we will be fighting for second vs the Chisox

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 Twins lost due to errors, their worst failure for years now.

[insagt1]

And thats that. Twins steal defeat from the jaws of victory once more. What a horrible baseball game. tough game for your best bullpen guy to have a miserable outing.

But again...look at our lineup. Too many guys out or banged up. Men against boys...but the boys should have won this one. They are fitting the cover of the coffin.

So does the offense. 

And better pitcher management?  cant expect 4-5-6 pitchers to all be on---, Rocco never goes with the flow Ober great 5 pulling him ? not gonna argue that tpo much, Fullmer not the biggest fan of , but he had a stressless inning, let him at least start the 7th,  Cleveland had zero going for them till the Error,  he has zero mindset for game flow, to cautious all the time, Sick of it, Guarantee ya francona keeps fullmer in ,  then after theilbar to me Jax =no way you need your best   right there!!!! please replace this guy

[SanoMustGo]

The Twins will have nothing to play for after this series.
