KC 11, MIN 3: Big Dud from Big Sexy & Co.

2 of 4 at KC only hurts because we won the first two.   Its really not a bad reesult.   I hate days off when the Twins have been on a good streak.   This break probably comes at a good time.

well there you have it. i guess the royals and angels obviously wanted to win; the twins and mariners obviously did not.

Press your luck long enough, and the inevitable will happen, and repeat itself. Nothing sexy about it.

And Molitor only has Busenitz throw 5 pitches in 5 days, 6 with the day off coming.

As good as Colon has been, 85 MPH fastballs will only get you so far in today's game. Was bound to happen, I'm glad it didn't happen before today.

Knowing when to pull. And for guys like Curtiss, picking the right batters and situations. With 17 hurlers on your staff, you can use them for one batter situations, if you like. 

first time post, really like the solid input and comments on the Twins Daily site, life time Twins fan living in NE Jax Fl, haven't been overly impressed from day one with the Molitor hire. seems to be a sub par game mgr, and his choice of pitching coach help isn't much better,just my 2 cents main issue, these guys: Ty Dufy, lord save us all, Ryan the "I can't get anybody out Pressley; Tomkin, wow, really bad, how many years and millions spent on Phil Hughes, he was shot out when the Yankees shipped him too us,when it's important to do so, along with Colon, what a sad state of affairs old worn out retreads, like good ole days of Gardenhire, Dillion Gee, Colon , we don't have a true capt. haven't sincwe T Kelly retired. hope the Twins can hang on and make the play offs, but not betting on it with Molitor and Allen, horrible pitching staff, beyond not acceptable, it was bad going into the start of the season, and now, it's a joke Houston is a young stud, and do they do, they sign Verlander, the Twins get Colon who tops out at 84mph, one a week

Gotta respect KC and the run they have made with their core group.  They knew this was their last bite at the apple and they had the motivation to hammer the Twins one last time.

Done with that now.  KC will not look the same next year.

Twins eclipsed them this year, won the series, lead in the standings and have the better team.

I'd be happy if Curtiss didn't pitch the rest of the season. 

I'd be happier if he pitched a lot the rest of the season and did well.

This team just can't capitalize on the opportunities that keep getting dropped into their lap.

Hey, you have days where you just lose and lose badly. We still won 2 out of 4. I just hate that it feels like we "lost" game 3 instead of them winning.

Colon has been quality and a huge boon to this team. One really bad day doesn't ruin what he's done and may yet do the remainder of the season.

I still really like the arms that Duffey and Pressly have, and all their potential. But both are just becoming very frustrating.
