I can't see a White Sox sweep. They're really bad.

Honestly. They are.

If you judge by starting pitching, they’ve been about 1,000x better than the twins so far

Ok, but really Dobnak or McCaughan, because it's not fair to the rest of the league to have both those powerhouses on the roster at once.

Haven't even had a chance to unleash Speas on the world yet.

You're grasping at straws here. Breaking up a no-hitter when they've already waved the white flag is a gigantic nothing. You know better.

It's just that literally all he did was point out that the no-hitter was broken up and then immediately said it wasn't as dramatic as breaking up Cease's no-no in the ninth. And you're saying he acted like the Twins won the world series.

I mean, everyone knew this was coming. Funny how beat writers, etc were writing stories about how this team could win the division. I mean they still might, but this level of effort is a direct reflection on the ownership, GM and Manager's effort level. Zero. 

 

Being in a mediocre division has set the bar low for this team for years. There's little pressure to compete at the level of other divisions that have true contenders year in and year out. Shooting for 90 wins in a weak division is settling for mediocrity, and leaves little margin for error when things don't go smoothly.

Alright that's enough stop dissing on Balldelli  and Morneau Its ****ing annoying

 

The duct tape on my college girlfriend's Pontiac Sunfire was annoying too, but it was the only thing holding the bumper on.

Just sayin'.

To be fair, nobody under the age of 42 even knows what that would sound like

Hitting 🤮. Those two hits came off a guy making his MLB debut.

Ok that's fair but a lot of us are judging by facial hair and it's a tossup even without Dobnak's furry frown on the roster right now.

Maybe they couldn’t do anything about it but Byron and Correa allowing themselves to be pulled is equally indefensible. Ready to move on from both

Never thought I would say it but Correa, Buxton, and Lewis need to move on or at least 2 out of the three. I wanted to believe it was terrible luck with the injuries (and maybe it is) but you can’t have a competitive team with three players that you can’t count on.

Castro is out there to lower the bullpen's walk rate.

[USAFChief]

Game 4 and we've burned through at least one "last guy in the pen" a "wait, who's that guy" callup, and now a position player pitcher.

 

 

[Aggies7]

This is actually what Paddack meant when he called himself the sheriff

[The Great Hambino]

Castro busting out Mary Rowengartner's floater pitch

[Schmoeman5]

Julien thinking he's got 5 seconds to throw on a hard hit ball.

If you look at the batting averages in todays box score and pretended they were body weights, only one guy would be considered obese

This is all setting up the Twins' home opener promo, 'Which Lucky Twins Fan Will Pitch the 9th?!?'

A secret online ballot has just placed you in charge of TD Forum positive thinking for the 2025 season.  Godspeed.

[thelanges5]

Position player pitching in game 4. That’s beyond embarrassing. 

[shortround81]

Oooh! Piece of personal history nobody asked for: I was at the first game Willians Astudillo pitched in! We got blown out by the Rays

Julien would need to make major improvements to be considered a below average defender.

The lack of arms makes this Sheriff much less detrimental to the Twins' chances.

Really going to get no hit. Thankfully we pulled two guys who could possibly get a hit. I might actually hate this team as it is 

Just who was going to get a hit -- no reason to beilieve that

All those who trashed Chicago from last year to this , LOL,😂
