Twins (Festa) vs Reds (Abbott): 6/17/25, 6:10pm

[Tlaker]

Season is over, and Peter is correct. Sure hope Pohlads can find a buyer, but it is definitely not a seller’s market for this abomination

Ellys SB broke Festa and Jeffers. Cmon.. he does it all the time. All this with two outs.

This team is full of basket cases.

I've said it since Sunday for those who want to get rid of Vazquez.  I think that, as bad as Vazquez is hitting, he is hitting better than Jeffers is at the moment and can command the pitching staff.  I'm not sure Festa has this meltdown with Vazquez as catcher.

I'm quite sure Jeffers might be a suitable DH but maybe we can try Gasper at C.

[IndyTwinsFan]

I'll be shocked if score even once more, let alone at least three.

[Aggies7]

Speaking of cruises, festa was cruising along. But so was the costa concordia

[Patzky]

Well a whole new ballgame. :(

The batters on this team go into a complete shell when they face a deficit. Get ready for a lot of 10 pitch innings.

This team is unwatchable right now.

That's why I switched to Mets they are up 3-0 in 3rd

What a melt down by the kid

This one is on Jeffers.

I don't get the need to put his throwing hand in jeopardy like that. He checked out after. 

He's been hit multiple times this year too.

Coulombe got his batter for the night. 

[Peter]

Just bad bad bad!!! How much longer will this go on for???

We need more hitters doing it , hit it where they ain't  ...

he hit it where it was pitched , ==Contact  we need more of it

[Patzky]

Four isn't really a crooked number. It's a series of straight lines. Maybe we can keep that in mind..

And they basically have been since the Alcala meltdown last August, save for the 13 game win streak earlier this season. 

[The Great Hambino]

Jeez, this really got outta hand during bedtime

No hits through 3, can't finish the fourth.  Pretty on brand

[Danchat]

Really have to wonder if Festa is a reliever... it'd be yet another piece of the pitching pipeline to not make it as a starter.

 Well,,,it may be another night for Bride to pitch. He is building up his appearances. We still have not seen Clemens pitch.

I mean yeah but fielders make errors. You can’t meltdown. 

[Tlaker]

Morneau keeps making excuses…. for awful play…..some one needs to say to him, the front office keeps making excuses for his effort in the booth 

[Parfigliano]

90 more games

[S Bart]

You know the hits are limited when Cory gets excited by an "All RIGHT" for a single

Would be 2-1 instead of 4-1 if Jeffers holds on to that ball.

Gladden has been training him

[Patzky]

We got Vazquez want him or not.

Yeah but like I said, errors happen. He was not the first pitcher asked to get 4 outs in an inning and he won’t be the last

Jeffers made three errors that inning. 

I hope his hand is OK and this is a benching. 

[Western SD Fan]

To answer @Patzky, the last time Jeffers was involved in a Twins win was when he came in as a DH in the 5th inning for the only win they got against the Rangers.  A full game win for Jeffers was the last win we got in West Sacremento.
