We did have one of them😭

"Did have" being being the operative term.

[RpR]

Julien, Wallner, Lewis -  Zero for Four but Lewis had no Ks.

Rookie Lee had a oops single that could have made a difference.

Maybe they don’t want to wear those ugly Strauss helmets that MLB announced for the playoffs?

Or maybe they think the season has been too long and they just want it to end ASAP, by missing the playoffs with ugly loss after ugly loss.

Well sure, hindsight is fun. We have a new trainer largely because of this. 

Before the trade, people on this site were literally posting things like “please do not trade for Mahle because he looks hurt”

Must be an organizational thing

Wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Correa needs to find his white horse quickly. He's the only guy on this roster who is capable of dragging this team across the finish line.

Steer and Encarnacion...it wasn't trading them that was the issue. It was what they were traded for. Both of them hit the Reds roster in 2022, IIRC and did well for themselves. They were major league ready. You better not miss on a trade like that and the Twins did. But oh, Mahle had a year of team control!

I think you are right. Even with one foot.

But will enough of the rest of the team follow along, with the proper sense of purpose?  My answer to that question is a resounding "No", sad to say.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

All right people, let’s not make this about other posters.

Team control of a blown up arm. 

That's gold Jerry.  Gold.

Twins dont expect any help from Orioles. Tonite they couldn't get one hit until 2 outs in the 9th against bullpen pitchers. O's sinking faster than Titanic sunk. Their hitters can't do squat anymore.

Tigers, Red Sox and Mariners all have a real good chance of knocking Twins out. I get the bravado from the radio crew. 'we still control our destiny' crap...but they gotta start winning regularly now to stay in this thing. Twins are 16-25 against the NL. That sure doesn't help. This hasn't been much fun lately.

You’re right I should’ve looked before I posted. He gave up six earned in .2 innings pitched for Saint Paul tonight.

[Vanimal46]

Alright, we needed Correa and Buxton back. Now we got them. Time to get hot at the plate

It was widely panned as an overpay at the time and it sure didn't disappoint

********.....Steer was about our 4th-5th best middle infield prospect at the time.....everyone thought it was a great trade...the Twins were finally "going for it".  It didn't work out, but don't play that game.  Hindsight is 50/50.

[David HK]

Utterly pathetic.

Just simply pathetic.

I hope we win.

 

And game threading is enjoyable, even if i am not there for much of it to enjoy it myself.

What did i miss?

 

I see there wasn't very much winning going on. Was the game thread at least enjoyable?
