Guess they just needed me to trash them to wake them up. Can they hold on now with their new bullpen?

This is flat out embarrassing playing this feebly agsinst a last place team. What has become of our hitters? This is horrible

Probably goes without saying but Twins just can't be swept by KC to be taken seriously. The offense is feeble right now. They are very lucky the final Wildcard is totally up for grabs still by 8 teams...all playing sub .500. And both Cleveland and Chicago are losing too so they haven't left Twins in the dust. The last 2 Seattle games hurt bad but these last 2 vs KC have been pathetic.

The 3 roster move options make sense to me.

Twins really can't be losing to KC like that if they are to be taken seriously. This recent 3 game skid isn't helping the cause at all.

The business side of baseball is what curdles my milk every year. Teams can no longer just play the game with their best players and allow things to just happen. Lately Twins have been falling behind nearly every night. Their offense has bailed them out a lot but these last 2 games really expose the bullpen. Wasting 2 real good come from behind rallies with lousy last inno g pitching was totally frustrating. Specially today erasing a late 6-0 deficit only to quickly give the game away in the 9th was galling. And so the beat goes on about dumping our hot hitting catcher while Buxton la guishes in his too familiar spot on the IL. And of course all the talk of prospects prospects prospects...like somehow they are the golden fleece that will deliver the promised land always just around the corner. It's just so darned frustrating to deal with this crap year after year...like chasing a cloud around the block. Come on Twins players and front office. Do you want to play there or not? Or is it as most believe just the paycheck. Guess I'm just an old dinosaur who just wants to enjoy a baseball game....and that's getting harder to do.

who????

I'm just a fan who watches from afar so I don't know all the ins and outs of the organization like you fellas do. I was much more invested when Twins were the parent club of the Red Wings. What I saw this year was pretty sad. Particularly when Buxton finally played pretty much an entire season and put up some very good numbers. But overall the team was not fun to watch it was a few years back. So many hitters just didn't arrive this year. Then the FO gave away nearly half the roster at the deadline. Then we had to watch the likes of Outman play everyday even though I don't think he ever cracked .150. There were times when the guys just looked bored with the game, maybe because by August they all knew they were never going higher than 4th and they weren't quite as pathetic as the WhiteSox. firing the manager is always an option that owners use liberally when things go south. O's ditched Hyde during the season and it had minimal results. They were also hard to watch, especially the k's. So much needs to improve in 2026, and as we have seen, sometimes things turn around real quickly. I hope thats the case because the last two Septembers were massive trainwrecks in Minnesota. I haven't provided an ounce of analysis...just observation as a fan that it was a painful season. Maybe next year.

In irony when a guy named Outman plays everyday and can't even get above .150 you have a team where winning is not an objective. Twins have yawned thru 2025 playing some of the most uninspired ball imaginable. Losing a series to a Rockies team who has lost 115 games so far (they could lose 119 tying for 3rd worst record in modern history) shows you how little energy these guys have. And this is with Buxton being mostly healthy ( but finishing in September in a slump) This season has been a total waste. Can a flush help for 2026? Who knows

In a season that has been mostly worthless, last nights shutout win over the Evil Empire was a breath of fresh air for Twins fans. Twins rarely beat the Yankees so knocking them off like that, while they are scrambling for playoff seeding was sweet. Now go out and win the series. I'd like to see Buck keep the BA over .270. He is scuffling now. 80 RBI is also a good goal. He won't steal 30. Like to see Keaschall stay above .300; Lee to emerge from his slump; Ryan win a couple more. None of this is earth shattering but there has to be something for the fans to enjoy in these final 2 weeks of a very disappointing season.

Buck is not going to be traded. However he has thrown down the gauntlet that he is not interested in yet another failed 'rebuild'. Twins had a miserable 2025 season, in almost every aspect. They need to do something in the off-season to make their big league team competitive again. Team needs to figure out what it takes to be a winner again because this current team borders on unwatchable. There is some talent out there but it didn't come together at all. They shouldn't be this far back of Det, Cle or KC. And their play against Chicago was deplorable. Lots of work to be done.

Buxton will break his no-trade clause if things don't improve. Why would he stay and be miserable. However, he also has to be able to overcome his injury history. He won't be much of a big deal if he plays less than 100 games each season. so there's that. But right now the team is a mess. It has no bullpen and the 'core' players are mailing it in for the most part. I always compare them with my other favorite team, also going nowhere this season...the Orioles. At least they are winning and having some fun with these no-pressure games. And the good it does is to at least get a glimpse of who will help them in 2026 and who won't. O's may end up with the highest winning % of any of the last place teams, not that its all that significant. But winning is always more fun, no matter where you sit.

2 yrs in a row the Twins went on vacation over the last month of the season. Playing about as bad as a team not named the Rockies could play (except even the Rockies started playing a little better) When you look in the dictionary under (don't care) there is the picture of the Twins...again. Some bad teams at least do play spoiler. The Orioles have won 4 straight from the Padres and Dodgers...two teams vying for 1st. O's have zero to play for in the standings but at least they are enjoying the wins lately. But Twins are playing right now with the passion of a sloth. There is nothing there. They are losing a lot of close games because they look like they want them over with. Watching them blow leads all over the place against the horrid Whitesox would make any fan not want to come to the ballpark anymore. Hey, if the Twins finish up 0-21, they can lose 100. Go for it. Don't these guys have any pride left in their jobs? On a most serious note....when you don't have anything close to resembling a bullpen, you sure won't win very many games. They are at least proving that for all to see.

Totally embarrassing series. Twins blowing leads late with a bullpen that probably couldn't get beer league hitters out. While Twins are simply mailing it in Sox are having fun winning games and trying not to lose 100. Bright spot is Keaschall who has only failed to get a hit in 5 games and whose BA has never dipped below .300 . He's a keeper. Bit he's kinda lost in the sea of mediocrity that surrounds him. For 2nd straight year a miserable finish to a sorry season.

problem is..you can't overlook 1 inning, especially when 7 runs score. It changes everything...mostly its usually impossible to come back that far behind so late in the game. Nice that Buck got his career tying 28th HR and now extends his career high RBI total to 68. He won't be a 30-30 guy because he needs 9 more steals and while he has a lot of speed, he doesnt; steal a lot of bases. Maybe he'll swipe 4 or 5 more. He has yet to get caught, but he also isn't an aggressive base stealer.
