1. When can we officially start to panic?

2. Lesson on lane Thomas. Only trade for lefties who are platoon players. Too many right handed pitchers

3. Analysis of game 1:

   Snake hit ball big and Guard don’t hit ball as big. Snake win game and Guard lose game. Go Guard.

4. I’m officially nervous about the Twins series.

5. That’s why losing that game on Monday hurts so much. First 4 game losing streak of the year, another series loss, and a series with the Twins coming up that we’ll surely be in 2nd place after if we keep playing like this.

6. Lucky that this is our first four game skid all season but it hasn’t looked good

7. You love to see the fight but that homer off Gose felt like a real punch to the gut. Lane Thomas has done nothing to beat the allegations (that his acquisition didn’t really fix any of this team’s problems). Could use some length out of Cookie here this second game, which isn’t ideal.

8. I’m still working with the kids, temporary positive- game 2 starts at 4:30

9. I don’t consider myself a doomer but the thing that worries me most is that the entire rest of our schedule is against teams like this

10. Haven’t won a game since Vogt punted a winnable game to “save the pen”. I would feel way better about losing this series if we had beaten Baltimore.

11. Turns out having your bullpen go a minimum of 4 innings in every single game isn’t a viable long term situation

12. At least Josh hit a home run?

13. Man I’m bummed about the loss and all, but I’m glad my outlook on the season isn’t as grim as everyone else on here.

    The twins are currently losing 6-2. Some of you need to take a step back and breath.

14. Primed and ready to get smacked by whatever wild card team they end up playing 🔥🔥
