Are you available to pitch on Friday?

Nope. I've thrown (up) too much tonight. 

[Patzky]

Jeffers isn't going to swing, is he..

[IndianaTwin]

Buxton is reaching some milestones. Two homers tonight has him one short of matching his career high. If he plays Friday and Saturday, he'll match his second-highest games played. Has already exceeded his career high in RBIs and total bases. One steal from a 20-20 season. 

For his career, his next homer matches Kepler, the next Sano and the next Brunansky. Tonight he passed Jim Lemon into 13th as a Twin (plus one Senator). He passed Cuddyer and Mauer earlier this season.

The Mekong.  Old school.

Rocco Rocco'd this game and there is zero excuses or someone like Cabrera to be on this roster. He will not be in MLB in 2026. 

[Patzky]

Keasch keeps it alive 

[Aggies7]

Wallner looked as bad there as he looked good last night. Or something 

[USAFChief]

Good swing from Jeffers

He prolly will be. Hes left handed. He's managed to make it up every year since 2019.

[Aggies7]

In a month full of bad losses, this one is up there

I tried to tell everyone before the season that the Twins bullpen would be a liability, not a strength.  But nobody would listen.

Who you calling nobody?

[Patzky]

Well darn. 

 

Be safe all and enjoy the day off tomorrow.

[howeda7]

Put Zebby and Festa in the bullpen for the rest of the season.

Guys played hard -  to bad the Manager is a M---N

Toronto  has something to play for and they fought back just like we fought back last night , it was nice to see our hitters put up runs 2 games in a row ...

8 was not enough  , but with good pitching it should have been  ...

And then, what’s a sweeper?

 The primary difference lies in the movement: a sweeper has significantly more horizontal break (approximately 15 inches) compared to a slider, which typically breaks around six inches. The sweeper also tends to be thrown slower, allowing it more time to move across the strike zone.

Second most games in a season. People (including myself) forget that he played 140 games in 2017.
