Well, I think our glaring weakness is obvious.

They are in our heads. We need a shrink. Or ten.

Dear Rocco, this what we were worried about when we asked about the history of Twins vs Yankees. #yankeebitches2019

Also why they shouldn't have blown off getting starting pitching help. And leave it to them to pick up an injured reliever.

Post by **team22tank** » Sat Oct 05 5:37 pm

Rocco is getting rocked. And we have an offense this year. Making the Yankees pitching look way to good.

Post by **Vegasgopher** » Sat Oct 05 5:38 pm

A lotta game left, chip away, let them get complacent and have a swing at it in the end

Um, its 0-8 on the road. Even if they chip away and score a couple they need to hold the yankees to 0 runs...the Twins pitchers have been in trouble almost every single inning...what kind of miracle are you hoping for?

Best hitter to put it in play and strikes out to this clown.

Post by **ScoobyDoo** » Sat Oct 05 5:53 pm

Nice offense.

Post by **bearpaw28** » Sat Oct 05 5:55 pm

This Twins team got hit by a freight train tonight. It affects any player to see 1-8 on the scoreboard in the playoffs to a team that owns your arse

Post by **bearpaw28** » Sat Oct 05 5:59 pm

Our chances of coming back & winning tonight

Post by **team22tank** » Sat Oct 05 6:11 pm

Tanaka 7 Ks in the fifth.

Lol

I guess I will scout a couple of Gopher recruits at the USHL game in SF. :

Yankees take Uber driver Randy for a ride in The Bronx.

Post by **Cowgirl** » Sat Oct 05 7:34 pm

If it weren’t for that one inning it’s a tie game.

Edit: if it weren’t for the third we’da won.

Post by **ScoobyDoo** » Sat Oct 05 7:51 pm

They have all the records now. Go Twins.

Post by **streakygopher** » Sat Oct 05 7:58 pm

Is that 15 straight post season losses to the Yankees? Guess Rocco now part of an exclusive club!

They have the straight loss record and the most consecutive losses to another team record.

Go Twins. Breaking records.

Post by **Bonin21** » Sat Oct 05 8:02 pm

And those could stand a long time (and we'll add one more to each).

Post by **The Rube** » Sat Oct 05 8:40 pm

12 to one team, 15 overall, IIRC.

During the tv broadcast they said the Twins had lost 11 straight postseason to the Yankees. This was before the game ended.
I did not fact check.

Post by **ScoobyDoo** » Sat Oct 05 8:53 pm

It's 12 now.

Post by **Cowgirl** » Sat Oct 05 8:55 pm

Well, I hope home field riles them up. I’m not giving up yet! I finally got my homer hank.... er, towel. It’s still Bomba SZN until the fat guy strikes out!

Maybe that’s why he was left off the ALDS roster

If I wanted to buy tickets to Tuesday’s game through Stubhub or SeatGeek and the Yankees win, would I get my money back? Has anyone had experience with it? I’ve tried searching their website and can’t find much other than they do not offer refunds.

Post by **Maize** » Sat Oct 05 10:28 pm

The other three losses in the streak were to Oakland in 2006, when the Twins were already in the playoffs, but threw a big party on the field at the Metrodome on the last day of the season because they clinched not playing the Yankees in the first round. I feel like the Yankees should get partial credit there for the headspace they occupy in Minnesota.

You should. I bought Stanley Cup final game 7 tickets a few years back.

If it was after the 3rd inning they were probably counting today’s game

Post by **Bonin21** » Sun Oct 06 12:39 am

16 losses in a row would tie the record in all big four sports. Yikes.

Post by **streakygopher** » Sun Oct 06 1:09 am

That was two heaping helpings of humble pie for the Bomba squad this weekend. (That's a lot of illiteration for anxious anchors placed in powerful posts!)

Should we send out a search party for Beauner?

Post by **gopherguy06** » Sun Oct 06 7:36 am

Saw this somewhere. I don't believe in curses as every team and city has bad luck but just crazy to think about.

Logical. Team was up 7 when he missed it. Fool me, I figured it was the head coach and the defense.

I was at a softball tournament yesterday. Only got to see basically the second and third innings. Didn't seem like I missed much.

We left Carbones to go back to the fields basically right after the big inning too. I did get to see a good chunk of the second half of the Gophers win.

Bingo. What's more, they were tied, with two timeouts and 30 seconds left in regulation. They only needed to get into FG range, and DeKnee Green TOOK A

KNEE!!!

Post by **bearpaw28** » Sun Oct 06 6:59 pm

With Randy Moss as a WR....GUTLESS....but back to the Twins...at least if they simply win one game (Monday) this whole postseason won’t be such a Debby Downer, I’d settle for that (at this point)

Post by **Cowgirl** » Mon Oct 07 10:45 am

Curious why fox is using both fox sports app and fox sports go app now. Which one is the Twins game on tonight? I have to watch from work.

Post by **grothm01** » Mon Oct 07 10:55 am

This doesn't make sense - they eliminate one BTN streaming app and mess up Fox streaming.

Post by **gopherguy06** » Mon Oct 07 12:00 pm

I am not sure what it is, but can't get games to stream. I was trying to watch the Gophers game on BTN, which brought me to one of the Fox Sports App, which then said I had to watch on another Fox App, but couldn't use the CHromecast.

Post by **JWG** » Mon Oct 07 12:16 pm

Fox complicated everything by trying to simplify everything. I "think" you use the FoxSports app for everything NOT a regional Fox Sports network (FS1, BTN, etc.), then you use the Fox Sport Go app for the regional sports networks. I "think".

I'm pretty sure this is correct. I had to use the fox sports app for the gopher football game on Saturday. Fox Sports go did not have it, because it wasn't on fox sports north. The BTN app which is now useless, merely told me that it was blacked out.

Post by **Cowgirl** » Mon Oct 07 12:31 pm

So it’s FS-1 tonight, I checked Fox Sports Go and and directed me to the Fox sports regular app for our game.

Clear as mud.

Edit: the pregame is on fox sports go, the game is on fox sports (app).

Post by **JWG** » Mon Oct 07 12:58 pm

That jives with what I've seen. FoxSports for major networks and FoxSports Go for regional sports network. BTN for highlights and replays I guess??

GO TWINS!!!

Post by **Maize** » Mon Oct 07 3:23 pm

New Age baseball be damned. Odo has to go at least five innings tonight, which probably means letting him work through some jams, if the Twins have any hope of winning. The bullpen has no hope of getting more than 12 outs without someone blowing up. Hopefully Rocco's playoff learning curve was just two games.

Totally agree, just win tonight and get all that stuff over with then see what happens tomorrow...I think we all know this teams window is just now opening and getting a win can only help

Post by **streakygopher** » Mon Oct 07 7:22 pm

Very disappointing Berrios couldn't take the next step. We'll see what Odorizzi can do tonight. If Pineda had just gone with a keto type diet I think the Twins would have been a better playoff team. Nothing Buxton brings to the table would have changed anything...Twins lack of pitching and Berrios' failure to cement himself as an ace is killing them. Hoping for just one win for the fans' sake.

Post by **ScoobyDoo** » Mon Oct 07 7:49 pm

Getting screwed already.

Post by **team22tank** » Mon Oct 07 7:54 pm

Jake looks ready to go. Faces adversity with the catcher int. And a horrible no strike out call against Gardiner and doesn’t phase him.

Boys better settle down at the plate and start working the count. Enough striking out.

Post by **ScoobyDoo** » Mon Oct 07 8:06 pm
