We are currently 4-3 against the A's, Rockies, and Tigers this week. That is not gonna get it done. This team is finished. Fire Hahn, TLR, and be prepared to launch some of our busts.

Minnesota sweeping would be a dream. I feel like our chances with 6 games left with them than staying 3 behind Cleveland and needing to sweep them. Followed by praying for KC to win.

Minny trails Cleveland by 5. They will go all out to sweep them.

This means we will be 5 back and officially finished.

We done

We will get out shot to catch them. We just need Minnesota to show up in those 5 games next week with Cleveland.

Let the Twins fall all the way out. Them having nothing to play for the last week would be nice. We just need to handle Cleveland. And that starts with not starting Giolito next Thursday.

The As offense sucks though so that is solid but not good when you consider the bad pitches he threw. Defense and offense has hurt all of our pitchers. No way I re-sign him to a big deal without him turning a major corner.

I like the idea of this thread.

It's tough because we probably have 3 years left in out current roster window. I'm not sure I like the idea of not truly addressing 2B and RF. Hell, I'm willing to test Tim out at second if it meant we could get Correa. Tim wouldn't like it but if he has a problem he can play better D at SS, or hit 25 homers.

Even better, Guardians were kicked in the nuts. That was a game they gave away.

Yep. Teams we need to root for take on our habits.

It's not. As I said before, we've been through this with Tony as well. 5 game streak and then a kick in the sack.

TLR sucks but we aren't winning now because he is gone. It is a small sample size, not to mention TLR just had a 5 game win streak himself. This team needs to try to win each game one at a time. We have no margin of error, so no more s%*# lineups, over resting, and punting Sunday or getaway games.

That game at Cleveland is a must win. We cannot simply label that a loss.

We know about the Royals and their epic last 6 games. A few series stick out to me as we sit two games back. That Cleveland series that we punted months ago and had Garcia hitting third. And the Josh Naylor debacle. Those games could seal our fate. At this point we need to try to win every game by putting the most logical lineup out there each day and using the bullpen correctly. There may be days we're Lopez needs to go two innings to help preserve a win instead of putting in Joe Kelly or Ruiz for instance.

Yeah but he isn't a player losing their job to a backup. He is the Manager and you kinda can't tell him to f*** off or send him down. The players clearly like him. The best hope is he listens to others more often and accepts input on managerial issues.

I know Cease didn't want to walk him, which is why he didn't. I'm saying I think he should have.

He's not sitting out though. Pitching around a guy is fine.

They sure do.

Great win. Saw the hit coming like everyone else. Cease probably sheds tears tonight but a hell of an outing.

There is no such thing as an easy schedule for us.

The front office, Katz, and Cairo felt his high heat would throw off the Twins.

This team is elite at avoiding accountability by talking about how much they suck or how angry they are.

I gave up on this team last August. One of the smartest decisions I've made for my wallet and mental health.
