Marlins (Weathers) vs Twins (Ober): 9/24/24, 6:40pm

[Western SD Fan]

Seattle leading 3-2. About to be passed by the team that did fire their manager for losing the clubhouse.

[jkcarew]

Why was Miranda hitting there? Brings one of his 4 available left-handed bats off the bench (Wallner), then leaves Miranda in to K. Dart board analytics?

You’re exactly right, I haven’t. I was 5 in 1991. You can’t make the expanded playoffs, then you are just mediocre.

No doubt...even if by some miracle, we got in...we'd get absolutely waxed by another team. 

... and it likely wouldn't even be a competitive series.

Yes, and most of the rest of the team look like they aren't playing baseball very well either!

I think we can basically call this the ending the season, with no fight and barely a whimper.

I think I've had about as much as I can tolerate. 

Even the stock market has a "dead cat bounce".  Not us.  Flatliners!

Jake Burger with one of those Craig Kusick style pop-ups.

I know captain obvious,but I suspect something odd with Miranda, like a physical problem. The rest are just not hitting, just like Miranda. Buxton and Correa are trying.

FWIW, Polanco hit his 16th HR tonight and also has an RBI single

Topa and Desclafani have failed to throw a pitch in a Twins uniform this season.

And the top 100 prospect we got appears to be one of those that is only valuable as a trade piece. He took a big step back and will not be appearing on that list again.

Slow, bad defender, even at his ceiling he's maybe a slightly above average DH. Twins shouldn't be thinking of him in future plans.

I hope you're correct and it can be fixed before next year.

HEY FOLKS, IT IS FAN APPRECIATION THIS WEEKEND WITH A PROMOTIONAL GIVEAWAY. THE CAP MAY HAVE A HIGHER VALUE THAN WATCHING THE TWINS GAME. :)

[Randy Griffith]

Jeffers padding his stats.  Just like Captain Kirk Cousins.  With two assists in the same game, he might be the next Roy Campanella! 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

How many 'worst' losses of the season have the Twins had since August 1st?

True...and the Twins saved money on the deal. Realistically, that seems to be the priority this year.

[TwinsCD]

Any bets on a Margot DP here?

 

Edit:  Gasp...he's being PH for!!

[Jerr]

I'm getting too negative here on the (Twins, though they deserve it), so I'm done for the night.

Hopefully they pull out a win.

Saved money ,doesn't Descalfini make 12 million. Don't think money was kicked in by Seattle?

Good point and it will probably be the same priority again next year.

[Gagnerules]

Why is brooks lee pinch hitting for anyone. He has beeb awful.

[Randy Griffith]

Last chance.  Correa, Buxton, Santana, and Lewis.  Let's go!

Because ... Margot.  Need I say more?

Craig Kusick! Wow what a blast from the past!! Some bad Twins teams back in the ‘70s….. woof

[Randy Griffith]

I forget what a Twins' homer looks like!  Remind me please!

[S Bart]

I have never seen the Twins go this long with so fewer home runs. September has been almost homerless.

Also, the lack of scoring with two men on is incredible. They really need to teach bunting in spring training next year.

Pretty sure the Giants are paying half of his salary and the Mariners the other half.
