Not hitting enough homers, end of story 

We must get the least out of one of the fastest overall teams in baseball on the basepaths...and then we have our share of 1B/DH/corner guys too.

The Astros have one more HR than us.  The problem is a lack of extra base hits in general.  A couple of doubles for us and we’re likely winning right now.

Imagine if we had someone that could hit in the 4 spot today.

Hard to blame Grandal there when he hit a 102 MPH line drive. Sometimes hard hit balls just don't fall.

I’m glad there are a handful of optimists here.

LOL, me too, it's tied, we aren't losing, let's go !

we're forfeiting the 9th?

With the guys coming up we might as well be. 

Tony should definitely not be brought back next year just for that blunder 2 run inning where he left Giolito out to dry, that cannot happen. Incompetent.

This is why they didnt do well against good teams.  This idea that they were going to magically flip a switch and just become a juggernaut is ignoring the obvious. 

They had Robert and Grandal playing at MVP levels and still weren’t dominating on offense

i would take a plain old extra base hit.  We cant even get past 1st on a batted ball.  

Exactly

Bummer in the 8th, what could go wrong?

Edit: didn't notice it was only the 7th

Should put Hamilton in the game...Leury is going to do something uniquely Leuryish out there.

JFC..no god damn walks Bummer

Let's go Bummer ! Need you to throw strikes though buddy !

Now Bummer enters.  Grandpa sees its the 7th inning, checks his papers.  Yup lets put in Bummer.

This is why the Twins have sucked in the playoffs for the past X amount of years. The central division sucks. Play fodder all year.

What a joke

Good god

Because they've had a hole in RF and 2B almost all year. I've been saying this since the offseason - you can't expect to have close to a third of your lineup being garbage and not end up streaky as hell.

Jesus christ the astros are lucky

So many singles up the middle this year...

Who decides where our fielders are, they should be fired.

Another perfectly placed ground ball hit.

He is here until the chairman is no longer here or until Tony says he is done.  

Need another groundball but one that can turn into two outs
