2025 Postseason Thread

[Permanent Twins Fan]

Just checking back in, Misiorowski has been great in the postseason despite struggling in the second half of the season. The Cubs have really leaned in to Theilbar this postseason, and this series especially, and he has produced. I know that a lot of Twins fans have bad memories with him, but he could be a good add on a one year deal to add a veteran to a bullpen that will need some help.

Can anyone explain in a elimination game why both teams have gone with bullpen arms right from the start of the game ???? ....

Cubbies down to 6 outs before elimination  ....

Starting pitching injuries, according to Ron Darling...

That's a needed insurance run for the Brewers. Both teams are running out of relief pitchers, so it would be a problem for both teams if this goes to extras.

Trying to get any positive with Relievers -  why not?  starters have been getting lit up in the 1st ,   And another former Twin - Mcgill -  had a good year with the crew

Old friend Willii  Castro  been a total Dud  for the cubs ,  he is in witness protection -  never see him

Wish some of them would have a good year before becoming a former Twin.

Damn. Fantastic postseason thus far. 

Does anyone else feel that the price for starting pitchers has gone up this October?

[mrtwinsfan]

Sorry cubby fans , you are now officially eliminated and can pack up and go on vacation ...

Im happy for Milwaukee  and they will have there work cut out for them against the dodgers but I expect a good series ...

All runs scored tonight on solo homeruns , last time I looked both teams didn't have alotcof runners in scoring position except that one inning for cubbies  ...

[mrtwinsfan]

several players   make  more in 1 year  than the Twins payroll --  we have zero hope here

[tony&rodney]

Brewers - $123M vs. Dodgers - $396M 

Mariners - $166M vs. Blue Jays - $258M

At this point it is just baseball though. Plenty of good players and great plays.

[tony&rodney]

It is fun to watch the games but also the crowds.

How do people watching see things? I feel like Seattle and the Chicago Cubs fans have been the best so far, although all have been amazing. I was disappointed how quickly the Yankee fans exited the stadium before the game was over.

It just shows guaranteed (for instance, not subject to arbitration) contracts on the books for next year.  For the Twins, that means it's just Pablo+Buxton+Correa.  So yeah, nowhere near close to actual payroll

Remind me again why we added a automatic runner? Mariners/Tigers yesterday was really fun.

So the Nationals figured out how not to pay players? Don't let the Pohlad's find about out that.

[Aggies7]

Seattle and Milwaukee would be an interesting series considering what happened with the Pilots franchise 😂
