Poor outing by the twins. They look tight Kepler isn't 100% nor is Louis arriaze Swinging at to many balls. Back home hope to not get swept. Really wished they could have acquired a starter at the trade deadline. Should be used to it for cheering on my neighboring states teams . At least the twins have won a couple.

Pretty sure Thielen's cleats said, "Bomba Squad."

Hopefully they can win a game tomorrow night probably have to be 12 to 10. Don't think it matters much Houston's pitching looks to be too powerful for them to lose.

Unfortunately it's the same thing every time we make it. I mean losing 13 (or is it 14?) playoff games in row to the Yankees is a pretty impressive steak :appl: Starting pitching is the main issue, and it's an issue that everyone knew about and the organization did nothing about it when they had the chance.

Rocco has made some poor coaching decisions in the first couple games. Rookie mistakes really, which I guess can be expected. I have no idea why he is saving his best relievers. It makes no sense in the playoffs. I mean, Duffy has not been good when coming in relief is back-to-back games, so that was really not a great idea. It may not have mattered in the end, but it's pretty silly that Rodgers hasn't even pitched, and Romo only came in well after game 2 was out of hand. You can't play for tomorrow, there isn't one.

Also, Arraez is awesome, but he should not have been playing yet either. He played a big part in those early runs allowed in Game 1 for sure.

Anyway, I guess I'll try to enjoy the last game. I'm hoping we can get one at least, but the way they've played the first 2 doesn't give me much hope. I do think they have a bright future, but after a long fun season, to end like this is such a disappointment. Not a surprise unfortunately.
