What do you guys think? Is a sweep coming with Ryan on the mound? Can we give him more than  one or two runs? Go Twins!!!!!

[HarmonK03]

We need 8 from Ryan, there is not much available in the bullpen today.  Don't want to see Wentz.

Good luck with that. The last time Ryan went at least 8 was June 2023.

Tampa is a Pesky line-up ,  not a big strike out team -be lucky to get 6 out of Ryan today

[S Bart]

Great to see 2 wins before the break to get Ryan in double figures. Just wish Vasquez could have a  DH.

[mrtwinsfan]

Did anyone watch Rocco,s post-game presser ? almost seemed like he would never like to see  what happened in the bottom of the 9th, that he prefers not sacrificing and Bunting but he said it looked like the Fans enjoyed it ,   seemed weird they way he talked about it,  I.D.K.  ==GO  Twins lets

One Catcher cant hit -ever- and the other is not a mental giant -  we need help at Catcher next year

This is the Buxton I have waited to see for almost 10 years. The man can be a game changer.

[S Bart]

Buxton should easily surpass his high HR total of 28 in 2022

I got the same feeling from his comments….. almost like he didn’t want to admit that what the fans have been calling for works 🤷‍♂️

Beef stew been scaring me lately a little bit.

[Chris Hove]

Wallner and Lewis have been spending an hour or two extra in the cage before this series started.

I dont get the Joe Ryan --Billy Bobblehead thing, and the Video they had showing it to Ryan - dont think Joe got it either,   unless its for head bobbling  like we just saw    now 1-1
