2025 Postseason Thread

Twins need to get a good catcher that can hit and play solid defense  ...

Contreras is good , but not available  ...

There are a couple of good back up catchers that can hit and play defense , white Sox have two very good catchers , falvey needs to get creative and get it done , creative  , his words not mine ( another of his phrases is wait and see , im tired of that one because i waited and saw at the deadline how he dismantled the bullpen )...

Yeah, I don't feel that yet. I don't count the 2020 season in any sports' history, so in my mind they've won 1 WS title as long as I've been alive. 

was lucky as a 9 year old to watch 3 games at Met stadium against the Dodgers ,   best series ive seen !!  Jim Mudcat grant   guy in front of us caught his homer , and he was a pitcher ,

Would Milwaukee/Toronto be a nightmare matchup for World Series viewership numbers?

I like having a big meanie to root against … although I don’t really dislike the Dodgers as much as I should.

Wanted NYY or Philly to advance but not looking good. I’ll watch either way 

[mrtwinsfan]

Most sports are better when there is a single team for all teams to hate. The Yankees were that team for most of the 1990's and 2000's. Hopefully now it's the Dodgers' turn. 

As the infamous bowler Pete Weber once said, "Hate me or love me. You watched."

I'm rooting for the Mariners to make it out of the AL.

I'm still rooting for the Mariners too. In the other league, I can't believe that I'm pulling for the Phillies, but hey, they have some ex-Twins on the team and I really dislike that LA team, so I'm hoping for a miracle in that series. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Try as I might, I just can’t hate the Dodgers as much as I know I should. I like Betts (pro Bowler!), Freeman and Ohtani. How can you not admire Ohtani. And I cheered for them to beat the Yankees last year and they did not disappoint. 

I will do better!

Hey! I know that @Squirrel

[Vanimal46]

Annnnd we’re back after the rain delay 

[Linus]

Some Twins like defense on that play.

Do they fire Aaron Boone after this?

[Vanimal46]

Neither game is particularly close tonight. Pretty obvious what the ALCS is going to be 

[Vanimal46]

Tigers are toast

[Aggies7]

Varland vs judge. Does the former twin hot streak continue 

[Aggies7]

Varland hits 100 mph

[Aggies7]

And judge hits one 100 miles. Yikes.

Why'd you have to go and do something like that?

Pictured: the New York Yankees

Baseball is a vicious game. Imagine being Louie and being traded away from your former team and give that homer and lead up for your new team 

[Longdistancetwins]

Not kidding; I just turned the game on the radio now, thinking, “oh great, let’s see what Varland can do.”

[Aggies7]

Come back Louie. You won’t have October pressure to worry about in Mn for a bit 

[Longdistancetwins]

Yankee radio announcer says, “Varland must be  shaking now.”  Suzyn Waldman replies, “Well, of course, he’s been pitching in Minnesota”. (But I did see him make his debut in Yankee Stadium last year)
