Not bad for a team that wasn't fighting very hard with very little enthusiasm. 

Partly because Yates did his part to set up the sac fly.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Good win against a not very good team; there will be more of these 🙂

Why do some of you take the negativity so personally? Fans aren’t reasonable sometimes. This isn’t a twins specific thing. You want an echo chamber of positivity on an online sports forum. It ain’t happenin’ I don’t think 

Some game threads are annoyingly pessimistic for a team with this kind of record.

But this one was a hell of a lot of fun, not sure where any perception otherwise would come from. Good work all.

The Twins showed as much enthusiasm after Farmer triple/hr as I've seen all season. And to say a team isn't fighting hard is subjective at best. Not personal.  Just the truth

[USAFChief]

Also should be noted Matt Wallner worked the walk that ended up the winning run.

He needs to be in the lineup every day

It’s not any different than sitting in a ballpark watching in person.

Sometime you get some luck on your side, which is what I think happened for us in the 9th tonight.

That's my preference too.   Let's try harder to win.

The Twins best lineup, especially now with Correa and Buxton out, has Wallner in it.  But heaven forbid if he has to face a lefty.

Just looked, he's only had 14 PA all year against lefties. Why even draft left handed hitters then?

Keuchel? About 6’2”

People "fan" in different ways.

 

I want the Twins to win. Not gonna sugar coat things I feel make that less likely.

If Debbie can handle Dallas so can the Twins!

But we don't want the Twins to get there stomachs pumped after the games.

I mostly quit the booze outside of an occasional lager or three with wings. Hangovers were debilitating. I’ve moved on to a substance with no hangovers 😂

This is just terrible use of talent…..

without reps, how are they supposed to get into any kind of rhythm?

Yet Kepler plays often against lefties

Ober really pitched well after first inning. These types of wins will help the goal of making it to the post season.

I've never understood the online police contingent that go around judging people's fandom. This is where fans come to vent. As long as it doesn't become personal in nature, there's nothing wrong with it.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Oh, like I said after the 1st inning. That one was over. For Texas :)

I guess it’s better than taking it out on your families.

Why would you jump to that really silly and obnoxious comment?
