runners in scoring position with less than two outs the last two innings and they've failed. 4-17 with those runners for the game.

One of the 1st games this season that I kinda feel they believe their "hype"....
Guys on 2nd and 3rd....nobody out...

and all 3 batters were trying for the bleachers..

Just needed the ball in play.

Did Richard say that they have left 10 runners in scoring position this game?

Sad....
(I get over the course of 162 games, this will happen....but geez)

Noticed a lot of upper-cut "hero" swings today with RISP.

Some times an opposite field base hit will get the job done. Not every hit needs to go 400 feet into the stands.

Can this team play "Small Ball" when needed?

Well, they’re 47-22 they haven’t needed “small ball” much this season. Do elite offenses play small ball? It was a rough offensive day. They’ll be alright.

Exactly.....
Once bases filled....0 outs
Once guys on 2nd and 3rd...0 outs..

The next 3 batters both times tried to hit 500' when 200 would've been just fine.


Frustrating loss....but still another series win!!

I know the clutch hitting wasn't there but we scored 6 runs. Hitting wasn't the biggest problem with this loss.
It's been 32 years since one of MN's four major sports teams has been to the Championship/Superbowl.
Every single year is failure until we win one. 4 teams, 32 years. That's roughly 128 consecutive failed seasons.
