The Correa deal was an insanely stupid decision? 

As someone already said, frustrations are understandable, but lets be reasonable.

Correa deal was bad, but not disastrous yet. 

4 years 130 mil left though. It's going to just get worse and worse now that the Twins window has slammed shut.

I hope we get booed off the field tonight.

E-2

Wow. How does he drop that? Such an easy play.

Oh my God twins!!! Can we just learn how to win a freaking ballgame please. we used to but not right now when we need it.

No

[TwinsCD]

The fundamentals on this team are beyond horrible.  Great defense again by Jeffers.

Who does that reflect on?

[OvertheHill]

Execution is our middle name. 

[Jerr]

That's enough for me here!

They should, but they won't. If the fans were booing it would mean they still cared.

I'd actually consider having Thielbar as the opener in this one, then Festa. Edwards, Norby, and Burger all hit RH pitching better, and it would shorten the game an inning. But I digress. 

Will be fun to watch Festa in a big game situation. 

Yeah...this might have worked better.

But I'm going to shotgun a beer for good luck. 🍻

It’s getting to the point where all you can really do is laugh.

Hey Twins fans,

I know these past few games have been tough, and it’s easy to feel stressed and frustrated about the team’s performance. We're all passionate about the Twins, and that passion can sometimes lead to heated discussions and disagreements.

But let’s remember that we’re all in this together. Whether we're cheering for our favorite players or discussing strategies, our shared love for the Twins is what unites us. Instead of letting our emotions get the best of us, let’s take a step back, breathe, and support one another as a community.

We’re all hoping for the best for our team, and it’s important to keep the conversation respectful and constructive. Let’s focus on what we love about the game and lift each other up, even during challenging times.

Go Twins! 💙❤️

Or went to the game. Which...they understandably didn't.

I'm about half convinced that this is Peters alter-ego burner account. 

[CRF]

Bebe Rebozo is shutting us down...that's just sickening. 

[Randy Griffith]

We're one Royce Grand Slam away from a tie game after Tonkin gets us out of this bases-loaded jam.  Never give up until it's all over!

I'm not saying he's not good. 

But he's been paid 70 million the last couple years and is the primary reason the team couldn't add anything in the offseason. Ok, secondary after ownership. 

And to be honest, he's been paid 12 million per win, which is a lot. It's been pretty bad so far and not likely to get better. Sorry to be a realist. 

[TwinsAlmostWin]

I feel like people here are only dogging the Twins, and rightfully so. 

[Patzky]

4-0 is a mental victory.

 

4-0 is also required for making the playoffs.

 

Coincidence? I think so.

Favorite Yogi-isms (quotes attributed to Yogi Berra):  "It gets late early out there."  and "Baseball is ninety percent mental.  The other half is physical".  What's your favorite Yogi-ism?

“Nobody posts in the game thread anymore. It’s too crowded.”

Festa = not good

[mnfireman]

E-2....fitting end to the season....

A Slam-Tana is far more likely. (While still not happening.)

Exactly. Anyone that says you can't criticize your team is being a weirdo. I'm the first to call someone out for ridiculous criticism but everyone on the team is fair game. It can both be true that Correa is the best player on the team AND that 200 million was a bad contract for cheap organization to give a player that failed multiple physicals.
