What were you pulling on ... Try knocking on wood next time ..

It's a brutal start , but I'm hanging in there , never know what could happen , the twins could win , could is the key word ..

Buxton is the only batter to get a hit so far , if he's going to bat leadoff , with his speed he should be stealing bases ... If your not going to utilize his speed then he needs to bat third in the order and be more of a run producer if rbi's still matter ...

Lee is good defensively but slow , he actually leaned the wrong way during the pitch ...

And we aren't half over for June, twins pitchers always seem to set or come close to sett records ...

Damn , damn , he let us down , damn

Okay , one more out ...

Sets up a double play ...

Damn

Minimize the damage paddack , please don't blow it ...

Buxton would have started a spark if he would have stole a base , he hasn't been caught all year , why wouldn't you send him ...

Can't believe a catcher ( jeffers ) can't recognize a pitch thrown by the opponents pitcher , he sees spins on balls and strikes all day long as a catcher , he guesses wrong alot and those down the middle pitches he gets , I just can't believe he let's them go by , it drives me nuts ... He's got to wake up , on a 2 strike count they aren't going to groove you a middle middle pitch , a batter usually gets one good pitch to hit and jeffers needs to capitalize on that one pitch ...

If they win on your lucky number 7 game , then you can go to your 8th game , otherwise pack and go fishing ...

I agree but Rocco is going to do what Rocco wants , it crazy having Jeffers that high up ...

At least we won't have to worry about Alcala blowing the lead in Texas 😂

I hope we don't come to regret it if we trade for an innings eater veteran , one can cross their fingers that he could help the twins ... We don't want to get to desperate , I think we use our younger players and give them experience and if Ober is shut down then it does make sense to get a veteran that can eat innings ...

I stand corrected , I remember the blowout with Woodson against Texas but I thought Texas blew us out 2 in a row , but I'll take your word on the back to back double digit losses with Smithson and viola , I knew Smithson was involved somewhere in a double digit loss .... Remember when twins were ahead 10-0 over Cleveland and viola pitching , I believe it was 1984 , Cleveland came back and won that game 11-10 , any chance of catching Royals late in the season finished with that loss ...

Oh I remember almost every game except 81 through 83 when I was out west working in Utah and Wyoming on gas pipe lines ... My favorite memories may of 1969 are tovar and carew stealing 5 bases in one inning and both stole home that same inning too ... A more recent memories is Benny revere rounding second and summersaulted over the base and still made a triple in July of 2011 ... Best game in ever saw was a doubleheader at the old met stadium , we win the first Gane 9-8 against Oakland A's , second game was the best game I ever saw except for game 7 of 1991 world series , Oakland was leading 8-7 bottom of the ninth, 2 outs and rod carew on second and Harmon killebrew at the plate , he is who we want up in that situation , on the second pitch Harmon swings and it's hit to left center and it appears to be a homerun and we were going crazy but Joe rudi climb the wall and took the homerun away , a great catch .... Why was the loss the best game I saw , Harmon gave it all but his all just wasn't quite good enough that game , Joe rudi was a very good left fielder ... Another memory was Tony Olivia's last hit and game , he hit a ball to right field that again we all thought it was out , it was a soaring shot that hit high on the wall and Oliva with his bad knees only got a single and that was Tony's last game , it's a sad memory but when I see Tony I always bring it up , I named a dog Oliva and Tony when I told him that couldn't believe , the twins pkayees of sixties and seventies , I had alot of heros ...

If you can remember pitchers dick Woodson and Mike Smithson from the eighties , they gave up double digit wins in consecutive games and I believe I was against the Texas Rangers too ..

Double digit losses ... in the past 8 days and 7 games , the twins pitching has surrendered 3 double digit losses , they have only surrendered 3 all season ( 1 in Sacramento and 2 at hone against Texas ) so since Lopez went on IL list , what's happening to our pitching ... The twins hitters on the other hand have won 5 double digit wins this season , so we are up 2 in that department ... Man this game was another pathetic , pitiful, putrid , piss poor played game , even my streaming was lost for the game ... Trying to score and the pressure once again is to much ... bases full and no outs and all 3 get stranded , still not enough consistency in the clutch ... new pitcher Wentz's orientation to Minnesota's bullpen Didn't go as planned , better luck next time ... Coloumbe still has not given up any of his own runs and one has to have some concerns about Ober's pitching , his velocity loss and his control , to many walks today ... Jeffers for a catcher that sees alot of pitches , sure is a bad guesser in recognizing opponents pitches ... Well here's wishing we beat up on Houston in Houston that are leading their division once again ...

Is that what happened , I lost my stream also , I just went for a road trip to listen to the test of the game on radio ... I figured the game was lost and they didn't want to televise it any longer ...

You asked and answered your own question ... Sellers at the deadline

Our pipeline is brought up to the mlb club and sent back down without even throwing and innings ... We could have used Adam's now ...

Right now why ruin what we have , just keep going with what pitching we have unless we have another starter go down , our injuries to our pitchers are not season ending so we will get them back at some point ... I sure hope Ober can correct his mechanics and get his velocity back ...

In 2022 the front office made their biggest mistake in evaluating the team as contenders , they made trades that didn't work out much ... Now in 2023 at the deadline the team was on the contending side but the front office made the mistake in evaluating the team and stood pat with the players they had ( best window of opportunity to win it all ), they were confident in their players they had , but we had holes to fill to put us in the opportunity to win it all , yes we won the division and some wins in the playoffs , it was a good season but could have been better ... Then came the off season 2023 - 24 and the payroll reduced , and no action at the deadline to keep us competitive believing that the 2023 players would take it all again in 2024 , crash and burn ( a pink slip offense crash and burn ) ... 2024-25 off-season was insignificant , some additions , France, Bader and coloumbe have turn out well so far ... I see the 2025 team as competitive after the winning streak but not contenders just yet ( we were once 7 ganes above 500 ) , maybe we will know more at end of June , most definitely by deadline what this team could be capable of doing ... I don't see the front office or pohlads doing any additions , subtraction is most likely if it was today ... The twins played a really good game last night , everything clicked pitching , defense and offense came through , can't have lousy games like the night before getting blown out of the saddle where there should of been a 10 run rule , just plain ugly defense , offense and pitching ... Right now I see the twins as a 500 club and that's better then I mentioned at the start of the season ...
