Yep, we need more leaders. Seem's like Cruz and maybe Donaldson (even though we didn't see it this year) are the only leaders. Guys like Polanco, Kepler, Sano, and Garver are great but it seems like I never see them embracing a teammate or hyping the guys up. Obviously I'm not in the dugout but I don't think I'm going out a limb by saying this.

Maybe this isn't fair considering the playoffs is a small sample size but I think next year you tell Rocco "Win in the playoffs or you are out of here". Maybe he'll manage with a little more fire and if the players love him so much they'll get the job done.

The Twins seriously need to bring in some sports psychologists come playoff time next year. There is a zero percent chance these players aren't thinking about the playoff losing streak.

Thank goodness for replay. Much like our politicians, we need younger umps. These old farts just aren't doing it anymore.

Nah he's healthy. He's just bad.

Do you guys think fans would have been booing at the end of the game if they were in attendance? It would be insane to boo a team that is in the playoffs and still "alive" but it is getting ridiculous at this point. I will be SHOCKED if we pull it out tomorrow.

I know we're a couple years out still but does anybody have heard anything about a possible Buxton extension? I'd hate for this guy to leave us right as he's turning into the player we've been impatiently waiting for.

It will never not drive me insane when professional baseball players don't give it their all when running the bases. Especially a rookie. Hopefully he learns from it!

For some odd reason it makes me feel better knowing that this is as bad as it gets (as far as postseason success goes). It can only go up from here, that is assuming the streak is eventually snapped lol

Honestly, I think we should appreciate that we are on the longest postseason losing streak in the history of American sports. Like actually think about that. Someday, hopefully in the not to distance future, we will be popping champagne after winning our 11th (or 12 if it takes the WC) win of the postseason and we will think back to this streak and laugh. Until next year folks

I'm honestly so happy a few people have reached and the fans are having fun

Honestly this could work... Just cant give up any more runs

All year the Twins have shown us fight. I refuse to believe they will get swept.

The Twins are very good at coming back but not winning it for some odd reason/choke and it seems to almost always suck the momentum out the team/stadium. Hopefully Rogers can get through this..

Two outs with School coming up and I'd be all for it. But with 1 out, wtf Diaz

Remember when scoring 6 runs seemed like an off night for this team?

Am I crazy for thinking Arraez has the potential to one day win a batting title! Dude is in his first month in the big leagues and I'm not sure I've seen a bad at-bat yet. He walks up to the plate, sees where the defenders are, and then hits it where they aint. Absolute joy to watch.

This was a helluva first game thread to be apart of!

Was pretty bummed when I got called into work tonight because I would be missing the game. I got off around 9:45 and rushed home to see the end of the game. I was destined to watch 9 innings of Twins baseball tonight.
