Five left. We can do this. Ending like we started back in Fort Myers - with spring training-like intensity!

Zero.

If the pitchers stop throwing gopher balls, the last few games may be OK but will show nothing for the future.

The Twins have fallen into the hole of only scoring early or just enough to avoid a shut-out.

Rather see Ross than Kreidler and we need to see some more Roden in the next 5 games

Agree on Ross, but also called up Sabato, why just to sit him.  There is no reason he shouldn't play the final 5 games of the season.  Why make the move and then sit him.  This team is truly directionless.

I think they did an about face. They started to rebuild but could not pull off trading the Ryans of Pablo last off season.

That was last off season, that doesn't explain the decision making during the season.  You don't sit a guy for two months, not play him, then release him a week before the end of the season.  Then the player you call up for him, add to the 40 man roster, you don't play him.  Or you don't call Gray up a second time after he shows he is not a major league player.  You can still make some decisions, to keep using last off season as an excuse is no longer viable to me.

Sabato gets called up gets a week of MLB pay, plays in maybe 2-3 MLB games so he can say he did, and DFA in offseason.

Start Caratini the rest of the season so Jeffers doesn't depress his value further?  Hope Taj fights off the first inning jitters. Win! 75 or bust.

Bell-Clemens -Kreidler --  why ???????

[mrmpls]

Yankees   getting  no-no   7th inning  --  Rasmussen is a stud for Tampa !!

[MMBoys93]

Why even play Royce at this point? I can imagine Roden is begging to be traded next year

Good bat, Good bat , Good glove, really quite easy to understand.

I don't think he has a lot of leverage.

[bjorks]

I'd rather have anybody other than Caratini. Give 3-4 games to Diaw and the rest to Jeffers.

I'm gonna miss this place (forum) after Sunday. Thank you all for making Twins baseball better than it really is in 2026.

I was more saying he’s wishing to get traded from this squad 

[Western SD Fan]

We are making progress!  Keaschall made the pitcher throw as many pitches in the AB tonight that yesterday's starter did the entire inning.

[Vanimal46]

Batting .500 on Sabato taking Royce Lewis’ playing time this week. 

[Patzky]

Looks like more batting prowess (sarcasm font)

NL also knows to throw Lee high fastball with 2 strikes and he WILL strikeout.
