One bad inning , ONE BAD INNING ... did I say one bad inning ... Twins need to play flawless baseball or these are the results we can expect ...

It's a BIG IF at this time ... One can only dream of an ace as good as kirby ...

And a very good question !!!!

Sorry I'm late to the party , I fell asleep !!!! Another 1 run loss , another game with no ability to move the runs up or even score , another game of sloppy defense ... Another game of allowing the other team to run at will ... Festa battled and got through 5 innings , a 2-1 loss is better than a 15-0 disaster , but still a loss .....

Not quite as disgusting 15-0 Loss the other day at home ... It was food pitching though ...

Let's hope santana can have some 9th inning MOJO ...

We also like keirsey Jr , but helman is righthanded and replacing Margot , I understand the reasoning ...

If i remember right , There once was a chance he would have been called up if he wouldn't have had injury , I think there was a need for him 2022 but then he had a hamstring injury right before he possibly would have been promoted ... I sure hope he can contribute to the team , good luck in the majors ...

The twins have started the month out right with 2 wins , the bats were active today , the hitting has to continue ... The players need to take the pressure off themselves and just concentrate on the daily game and not the pennant race unless they can develop a killer instinct and go on a September winning streak , then they can do whatever they want .... Get hot at the right time and the twins can still win the division ... No days off for next 9 games , so they need to come to play ... Nice effort for the win tonight ...

It was a brutal week at target field , a sweep from the braves and the zebby melt down on Saturday ... We are fortunate that we only lost a half a game to Cleveland in division and gained a game against Boston in wild card Pablo , Jax and Duran got the job done 2-0 on Friday and Lewis got the job done on Sunday with the game changing homerun in the eighth , Lewis has 2 hits in a stretch but those 2 hits did provided rbi's ... With our star players injured and out , we need Lewis, Miranda , wallner and Santana to provide production , we need players like larnach, Martin , castro and lee to help set the stage for the big boppers ... Let's make the adjustments and hit this week ... Go Twins ...

The season is almost over and the only player that I knew that went to driveline was Ryan before the season started , lately Vazquez was in an article about driveline to help his hitting and now in this article Jax has been mentioned to driveline ... All 3 players improved , Ryan went for the second year on a row, ... I would like to see an article from twins daily writers before the 2025 season on who went to driveline to enhance their performance , it has certainly helped some players , we might have had other players go to driveline but I don't know who ... The front office could report this to the fans also , it wouldn't be giving away any secrets ... It would also help the fans on gauging what kind of a season that player might have ... Did larnach go to driveline , he has improved this season ???

I'm a fan of Ober , the batters are not a fan of his though , Ober has had a few hiccups this year but has had a solid year ,,even last year until he got tired he had solid starts ... Royce Lewis hits a game changing homerun , nice to get runners on base and then get a three run homerun , not a fan of those solo homeruns , the batters have to do better and make adjustments at getting on base and then get those game changing blast ... Lewis carried the twins in a twins win ... Nice comeback fight that ended in an exciting win ...

14 games the star players have all played together ( Lewis , Correa and Buxton ) , injuries seem to be our norm ... If I was going to write more I'd write what ( mikelink45 ) wrote , couldn't agree more ... Front office works slow and on hope ...

Not pretty , very disgusting actually , nothing positive to report from this game , offense and pitching sucked ... I think this was their 8th shutout of the season , article stated 5 ... And farmer pitched 2 innings and gave up 3 runs , article stated 1 inningand1 run ... Can't believe I watched the whole game ...

Soft schedule or not , all I want to see is solid competitive games , win or lose ... We are 35 and 13 against teams under 500 , the concern to me is we lose to the team's above 500 , it doesn't impress me that we beat the lesser teams , it would impress me if we beat the better teams and we have but not on a consistent basis ( phillies i think are the last winning team we won a series ) ... Everyone wants the twins to win and go to the playoffs , because anything can happen ... Playing well at the right time would be a positive going into the playoffs if we make it , bullpen , hitting and defense definitely needs to be more consistent, that's just the reality of it ...

Good report , lots of promotions this year means we just might have some good prospects , get rid of the veterans and let the kids play , could be more exciting baseball having the youth playing hard to stay in the show ... Does keirsey Jr have a hitting streak , seems like he gets hits every game or does something to get written about ... Keirsey Jr will be a good player for some team next year , older but still a prospect until released ...

Toronto out hits us but twins prevail and score 2 runs which is more than we needed , Pablo , 7 2/3rd , captain Jax , 1/3 and Duran , 1 inning all did there jobs ... I was hoping captain Jax would pitch the 9th inning , but once again Rocco did his Rocco thing and brought in Duran , a 2 run lead and I was nervous that the lead was not safe because Duran hasn't pitched all that great this year but he managed to get 3 outs on 11 pitches , been quite awhile since he threw that few of pitches in an inning ... Toronto did not sting the ball , alot of soft hit hits , wallners throw to second base to nail the runner , was a highlight... A nice win , but hitting still not consistent ...

I'm not to worried yet about Lewis , what I'm worried about is the coaching staff screwing up Lewis ...

I've stated many times starting with the owners ( pohlads) , there main objectives are to have a team capable of winning during the season and draw fans , they don't care about a true contender for the playoffs and they proved it this year with a reduced payroll ... It's just a business with them and not a passion to bring à championship to the fans and anyone the believes differently is naive ... Twins are a poorly run team by the trio on collaboration ( the plan of falvey , Levine and Rocco ) , they do take way to long to move on from a player because they see something that they think is great and then hope for a miracle that player will figure it out ... The twins are a poorly run team at promoting there product because they needed to cut costs , you have to spend money to make money , cutting twin̈so fest to one day and the twins caravan to just Minnesota and not the 5 states area has lost alot of revenue for the team ... Last but not least , the article on falvey and Levine ... I too am not a fan of how falvey goes about his interviews and can't be straight forward about the team , I wouldn't expect him to come out and say things about trade talks but there are other concern the fans have and would like to be in the know ... Plus if you ever noticed ( especially in 2021 and 2022 ) falvey was never in front of the camera giving interviews when team was losing big , it was left to Levine to address the media ... I'll leave with this , falvey , Levine , Rocco and ownership don't care 1 iota about the fans thoughts , just the business side of it of how they are running the team that they believe is the right way ... If they would add some old school strategies to the game , I wouldn't be as harsh in my statements ....

Festa goes 6 plus innings and was probably the highlight of the game , Theilbar and acala can not be counted on , theilbar just hasn't figured it out , acala has looked bad since allstar game , the bullpen in the spring was supposed to be the best on paper in the league ( yes i know injuries happen ) ... Can't keep running the bases and running into outs , Watkins got to go as he stumbles with the right decision to send a runner to home ... Even soler scored from first on a double , he is slow a foot , looked like a train trying to run the bases but he scored ... The continuation of no clutch hitting is frustrating , it is definitely a reflection on the coaching as the hitters aren't adjusting to the situation ... We need new changes for 2025 in coaching , a new spark cause the players haven't even learned how to strike a match ... Did the Twins ever have a lead in any of the games against Atlanta ... Pathetic

You should be thankful that major league baseball has instant replay or review ...

Was ir a mistake to leave Festa in for the 7th , NO ... Was it a mistake to bring in theilbar ????.....

Hasn't been for 2 weeks , I'm tired of all the chokes , players and coaching have made ...

Good game for Festa ...

We tie it up ,,, but a big if on the base paths .... Can't keep running into outs ...
