The Minnesota Twins held a players-only meeting after Monday night\'s loss to the Washington Nationals, which pushed their losing streak to seven games.
\"It\'s easy to be a fun guy to be around when things are going good and when everything you\'re hitting is falling and you\'re just winning games,\" Carlos Correa said. \"But when the tough times come, that\'s when you know who people are. And it\'s helpful to talk.\"
Just eight days ago, the Twins were the hottest team in baseball and had won 17 of 20 games.
Rocco Baldelli said he has held two or three postgame talks already during a year that also included an earlier five-game slide, and is hesitant to conduct more because \"it starts to get drowned out.\" He approved of the players\' decision.
\"I don\'t know what was said. I have no idea,\" Baldelli said. \"I think it was the right thing to do at the right time. And hopefully we get something out of it.\"
