@FreddieandHD biggest takeaway from championship Sunday: both losers failed to take the 3 points!!!!

@HDouglas83 biggest takeaway from championship Sunday: both losers failed to take the 3 points!!!

@ColemanESPN winning team invariably "wanted it more" 🤮

@HDouglas83 how often did the winning team win b/c "they wanted it more" 🤮

@MLBDeadlineNews Agree w/ this post. Also, circled statement below is false. MOST IMPORTANTLY, lack of offensive identity other hitting homeruns is the cause of this collapse. Move some runners, make some contact, and you'll win 3-2 when it matters. Analyze that.

The Twins are collapsing. Their lead for the final wild card spot looks likely to be cut to 0.5 games after tonight. They cut payroll by $35M last offseason after having their best season in ~20 years and did nothing to improve at the deadline. That’s negligence, folks.

@rhcpvikings Sucks to be right.

Rocco is gonna be a complete idiot and pull Ober isn't he. #FIREROCCO

@Maxwell7899 @rhcpvikings @Twins Baldelli has no ability to see the game, no gut instincts. Ownership deserves this half assed effort.

@rhcpvikings @Twins Is Ober injured? Why the duck was he removed? What a clown show. The owners won't do shit. Skippy has his head up his ass and can't see Ober dealing. I know six year olds who could do a better job.

Final: Royals 4, #MNTwins 2

@Twins Lifelong Twins fan-55 years. This brand of baseball-lack of defensive prep, HORRIFIC pitching decisions, inability to coach talented hitters to hit and hit situationally, etc-makes #minnesotatwins team a joke. Sad. Starts with ownership. Can't be a fan of this any longer. Go KC!

@Coach_Griffith As you should!! It's like March Madness x 1000 for baseball coaches.

I love this time of year!

@CoachMorgan19 Absolutely! I was blessed. You are blessed. Enjoy!

I’ve coached some level of HS baseball for 13 years. I notice every single game if my parents are there (which they almost always are). It matters. It matters as a coach, it matters as a player, it matters as a human. If it matters to someone that’s 31, it matters to a 16 yr old

@Coach_Griffith A real professional and always willing to be a mentor/friend. I will miss my occasional chats with Griff.

RIP to the best father a boy could ever ask for. Raising two bratty kids as a single dad on a teacher/coach salary was impossible. Yet you made it look so easy. I followed in ur footsteps to become a teacher/coach and have never regretted it. Tks for everything, love you!

@Rville_Baseball 34(?) years since the last dugout improvements....it's time! Awesome!!

😎appreciate admin + school board seeing the necessity of this great improvement that is becoming a reality / 6 months seems far away but the weeks are fast…

@RedDirtCyclone What about the time for daily Iowa State Cyclone indoctrination?

Rylee's afternoon with Dad: Went out on a father/daughter lunch date Went to school to help finish up a project Went grocery shopping Absolutely refused a bottle Wore herself out while refusing bottle Woke up and ate bottle Had a massive blow out Fell back asleep Eventful day

Amazing stat about the Ryan Express. And I don't recall any "poor me" whimpers from this #Legend #MajorLeagueBaseball.

@DavidVoves I assume that is an umpire rules manual? You'll be on the field in no time!

I think I've hit a new stage in parenting, multitasking at the ballgame? #dadlife #LifelongLearning

@cwcfamily @MarleyElevate @Rville_Baseball Two of the best people right there! I should have gone. You gotta give me a heads up next time. (I'll start saving up on my heckles!)

My hometown team Riceville needed an umpire & I had a free night, never mind it was 2 1/2 hours away. Umpired with a longtime friend & teammate Jay Marley, Reminisced about playing on the same field for HoF coach Rick Gabel. @MarleyElevate @5rfgabel @Rville_Baseball #blessed

@wesoff It's great to be a Twins fan, Wes!

For roughly the 30th year in a row, I have defeated winter. Baseball. 80 degrees. We did it.

Clarksville Indians Seniors at Waterloo Bucks game, 1st pitch thrown by Gavin (aka "Klem")-slider on the corner! @kelm_gavin @AlekKellogg @Negen29 @Bonesison18

Awesome experience at the Iowa Alternative Ed conference presenting about our program today. We even got to see Mr Betts get inducted into the Hall of Fame! #todayisagooddaytochangelives #riseup #beawesome @jdeancc @kretter81 @danocaffrey
