OAK 7, MIN 6: Khrush Davis Walks Off Twins

HBP, single (first to third), sac fly

Berrios is a hard worker, and has discipline. He has "stuff".

But his season results is a lot like Blackburn, and is no where near an ace.

Maybe he will get better. 

But right now, he is overrated in my book.

Twins set MLB record for 10 walk off homers given up. 

That is our bullpen, in a nutshell. 

Seems that the 9th walk off wasn't noticed, as it also set the record.

This game stunk. This Twins stink. This season sucks.I consider myself an optimist so the positive I can find is to wish congratulations to DADdison Reed.

Good Gravy.  Thank god I quit paying attention when they were down 4-0.

Only the Twins could find themselves short staffed in terms of position players in September. By my count, they have 11 healthy position players on active roster.

That’s what happens when you only have 17 position players on your 40 man roster.

Fantastic roster management continues from the boys upstairs.

There goes the possibility for finishing at .500.

The way Magill ended the 9th, no way he should have been out there to begin the 10th. Continued poor bullpen management.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

It is September call up season.  Other teams have as many relief pitchers and pinch hitters as you could ever want, but not us. Be careful of starting the clock on the players, don't sit the old veterans.

The only thing that could have made this game better was having Belisle close the game. 

What is it about being walked off at Oakland? That happened twice last year too, including the game where there twins officially became sellers, trading away Garcia right after the game was over.

Fun fact:

The Tampa Bay Rays now have a better record than the Central winning Indians...

Another fact: 

The Twins need better players!!

Two more walks scored.     Just sayin.

This loss is on Molitor's continued bizarre bullpen management.

The silver lining here is the Athletics burned through a big chunk of their bullpen yesterday, late in the season, playing against the lowly Twins. If the Twins can hit the ball over the next two games they might get a win or two.

The Twins are basically an average team. They were last year too. Yeah, they need some playmakers. They've got the foundation, for the most part.

215-262 over the last three years and 71-82 this year is hardy average, imo.

to paraphrase the joker: this team needs an enema.
