Welp there it goes. 

2-1 series win vs. the Rays was OK but the Twins certainly needed a sweep to even pretend they were going to be a competitive team moving forward. Daunting series against CHC looming to put more dirt on this team's rapidly cooling grave. 

are you serious ??   we just won 2 in a row -  look around , Yankees  6-straight losses- Cleveland 9 losses in a row -  its a long year   take a breath

Careful Joe, give up 1 run here and it's over. Remember you've got the worst offense in baseball backing you up here. 

We were so wrong yesterday. Let's hope

The forum last night didn't like hearing our outfield was wanting. But Trevor (bless him) struck out with one out two on last inning. And this here opened some floodgates.

 

Just strike out the side Joe.

He's just not very good. He's fine but not good. That's why I've been calling him a non tender candidate all year for that reason. 4-5 million next season? Eh, I guess. But I'd rather see him traded away for any mid tier prospect at this point.

This guy is like Randy Dobnak dominating our Twins--

Wallner ever thinks center -left center  --then he can be a decent hitter ,  until then were seeing it 

[Mike Sixel]

Does everyone else go to the bathroom or clean or something when Lewis and CC are up at this point? 

[Patzky]

Oh oh

[mrtwinsfan]

Perkins is good with Cory,  easy my !  # 1  guy in the booth , they work good together

[Patzky]

Lewis has been okay -check his stats-   Correa not so

...sorry...I am glad that it is the last year of his contract. He is a decent defense player...but renewing a 10 million contract for a player with a BA in the mid 100's just is not a great idea.

Oi didn't say anything about renewing a contract , but I would at a much lesser price  , going for defense catcher of his caliber is 7 million  ... I doubt the twins would shell out that much ...

[Patzky]

Flatlined. Boyle flinging heat.

[Mike Sixel]

303 hitters have at least as many at bats as Vazquez. He's 301st in hitting! 

Just DFA him and try anyone else at this point.

He turns 35 in August and is batting 164...7 million is way too high...they need a young up and coming catcher to connect with the future....either through trade or the farm system...

Cleveland cannot score worse that we can't lately.

Note...not saying that he isn't a good clubhouse teammate...just...a person with that position entering his later 30's ...well not a good choice in my view

[Patzky]

Probably Joes last inning.

Again I don't think I mentioned renewing Vazquez , but that's what another team will pay him for his defense and smarts  , yes he's older bur still a very capable part of a battery ...

I d I d mention at a lesser price , twins would not pay him 7 million ...

[Twindy]

Joe’s losing is cool again over ball and strike calls. He’s gotta stop doing that.

[Patzky]

Ump is missing a few here

Vazquez isn't getting $7m.

Ill be surprised if he makes an opening day roster in 2026.

Mound visit now a pitch clock violation? Come on guys
