Honestly, not as bad of an ending to the season as it could have been. Definitely some positives to take out of this. They really showed to be good at

Brilliant.

Meanwhile the Rays just forced Game 5 against the Astros...

Every divisional series went the distance, except Twins-Yankees.

Exactly. Every team showed up at least once except the Twins.

because the Twins for whatever reason have one team as their kryptonite and the baseball gods keep pairing them up

Overall very positive season. Two weaknesses...pitching obviously, and defense, though the latter can be fixed pretty easily, I would think. Once Buston gets healthy they are good in the OF, and the young MI prospects in the system should help up the middle. Polanco could be better at SS, Sano- does he get moved to 1B/DH as soon as Cruz leaves?

Pitching is another story. That is the obvious weakness...is Odo or Pineda even signed for next year? Gibson is a bottom of the rotation guy at best.

Baldelliscrewed up by being two cute in the playoffs. Get beaten by playing your best. Win the game in front of you in a 5 game series, don't worry about tomorrow.

Well... at least we didn't give up 10 runs on 5 hits in the first inning of a Game 5...

They are the equivalent of the Blackhawks for the Wild from 12-16.

But we never beat the Hawks was my point.
