The bottom of the lineup just wasn't competitive.  Vasquez not hitting his weight, Kiriloff needs time in St. Paul, and Margot just has to be released.

Kepler has been a pleasant surprise this year. I really wanted them to get rid of him this past offseason.

He’s a streaky hitter. If the past holds true he will have a major slump soon. I hope not but it’s bound to happen

Rough stretch.  Now we see old friends Rosario and Joey Gallo.  Big starts for Pablo and Joe Ryan to start the series.

Seven in a row.  Rocco had quite the response to Duran questioning pitch selection.  Normally Rocco is pretty calm, but he seemed a bit mad.

I see a glaring issue

I see a glaring issue. Hopefully Lewis can come back and produce like we have seen in his short time and stay healthy. Hopefully they don't fall out of contention and make a move for a bat at the deadline. Then again it's the twins and I will keep my expectations of the front office low

Two months later: :lol:

Pitching has hung in there.  Topa back, Stewart back, the bullpen is getting close to the best it's ever been. Jax, Stewart, Topa, Duran, Alcala from the 7th on doesn't sound terrible.  

Lineup wise, Wallner has figured it out, should be a regular.  Correa back in a few weeks, but Lee and Castro can handle short.

It's a playoff team, now can we get one more starting pitcher....

Well it's September and if you told me in July that the Twins would implode I don't know if I would've believed you.  Twins on life support against Miami in the 12th inning....

What on earth happened.  Other than the Pohlads....

Okay, turning the page to next season. 
 Pretend everyone stays healthy.......:lol:

SP:  Pablo, Ober, Ryan, SWR......need to sign a starter.  Let Zebby and Festa grow in AAA.  Ownership probably won't sign a starter..... 
RP:  Jax, Duran, Sands, Topa, Stewart (Never healthy), Varland, Alcala, Funderburk.
IF:  Correa, Lewis, Lee, Miranda, Castro, Kiriloff (Never healthy). Vasquez, Jeffers.
OF:  Buxton, Larnach, Wallner, Martin, Castro.

Bullpen you're fine, but that is if everyone stays healthy.  Varland is a reliever.  Don't try to make him a starter.

So long:  Kepler, Margot, Santana, Thielbar, Tonkin, Desclafani.  Maybe we can trade Julien......sigh.

He didn't cut payroll and refuse to bulk up the pitching staff. 

True, but the owners won't fire themselves.:glare:
