I still read, I still check box scores. Just because I’m not watching doesn’t mean I’m not following at the macro level.

I'm not a fan of just enjoying moral victories, and that's all i'm getting from this take. I haven't watched a Twins game this year because my expectations were so incredibly low after what the Pohlads did (and didn't do) over the last 12 months, and investing the money to get the out of market games, plus agonizing over the mediocrity of the team just wasn't how I wanted to spend my Spring, Summer, and early Fall. Sure, the Twins have some playoff-caliber talent, but this 2026 team is not built for playoff run, let alone a deep one. I want sustained success, and if trading a player like Jeffers will net solid, team-controllable talent that upgrades other positions for several years into the future then the trade needs to be made. Keep in mind that Jeffers is only on a 1-year contract - while this chances might not be great, the possibility exists to trade him, let him have a playoff run, and re-sign him as a Twin in the off-season... if the Pohlands can find their checkbook.

He’s earned himself a hefty pay bump. I just hope it’s from the Twins.
-
Again… a freakin 0-2 pitch over the freaking plate
-
I can refer you to me earlier umpire posts to get you caught up on this guy
-
That was 8pm Kirk. Don’t you dare talk about 1pm Kirk like that.
-
Is this a Kirk Gibson moment? Roy Hobbs? Or is Buck going to make his own definition?
-
Eh… the Bomba Squad is looking like a fluke. The Tigers, under his watch this year, finished with over 100 runs fewer than we did this year.
-
I didn’t expect the entire lineup to channel their inner playoff Shane Mack…
-
If this team is serious I cannot see how Popkins is on the staff next year
-
Why did we let Garv go…
-
Jeffers seems like he’s due…
-
That wasn’t strike 3. Easily 3” off the plate. I’m not mad at Kepler, but I’m pissed at this umpire.
-
I’m torn between an early bedtime or drinking myself into next week at this point
-
Who is actually calling these pitches? WAY too many 2-strike pitches in the zone when there’s zero reason to even be on the black of the plate
-
Just start with Popkins
-
This umpire BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWS
-
Of course Abreu wakes up…
-
Ffs… is Angel Hernandez behind the plate?
-
I don’t have audio for the game where I’m at - WHY was Ryan pulled? He’s been (perceived) the only one on the pitching staff to get Alvarez out this series.

Twins add Buxton, Kiriloff out
HokieRif replied to Battle ur tail off's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
two thoughts on this one: 1) If he was hurt and getting worse then why in the heck was Kiriloff even on the roster for this series? - or - 2) Kiriloff is "injured" and we just happen to replace him with the biggest spark plug the team has -
eh... I'm upset, but not angry. If we had completely shat the bed against Toronto I would be in a much different mood. Considering how this season went, how we started, and how we ended up, I think this was a successful season. Coming back to win the series is going to elevate this season from "Decent" to "Good". Considering how the Vikes are doing right now I'm going to find every positive I can out of this Twins' season.
