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 ...

Sounds like you would rather be lucky than good ...

Twins got to ignite here in the 5th ... Do they know how to strike a match ...

Our bullpen is cooked and so is our coaches

I'm going to hire six of my favorite twins as pallbearers when I die , they let me down one last time ...

Stranded again , do they think they're on a deserted island or what ... When you are marooned on a desert island you signal for help ... Do the twins not know this , because if this continues they and us fans are in for a frustrating night of baseball ...

The kid is rattled , time to score ...

This is the inning we need to score ...

The article sounds like your looking for votes for his hall of fame ballot ... Winder could improve more and become a high leverage arm but right now he is just an innings eater ...

Could be the third time is a charm for tonkin and the twins ... Let's hope Kubels brother in-law has some bullets left to help ...

Maybe , if Calvin still owned the twins , he'd have fired Rocco either after 2021 or 2022 ... The pohlad have proven they are loyal

Thanks for the week in review ... Nice to see keirsey Jr have another solid week ...

I think your reading your paper upside down ... As for that manager of the year award and 101 wins ( which was an exciting season ), the players had career years and Baldelli reaped the award by writing out the lineup , he didn't have to manage until the playoffs , and that was a disaster ... I will never cut Baldelli any slack , he is not capable to lead this team to a world series victory and he will never prove me wrong ...

The way this game started , it brought back memories of twins Dick Woodson pitching ...
