Feels like the 8th inning once again

I sure hope they pitch Johnson again, buxton and keashall hit them hard even though they were outs ,

Once again we have a scoring opportunity with buxton and keashall coming up ... Buxton has 3 hits tonight , will he be clutch and come through ...

Provus said the twins were frustrated they didn't score .... What do you think the fans are , happy .. I should have been listening to Atlanta broadcasters ...

Sale hasn't been at his best , twins hitters have been making him work , now he is done , and another starter that can't finish 5 innings , hope SWR can go his 5 or 6 innings ...

Topa blew the hold but got out of the inning stranding 3 runner's , it wasn't looking good ...

Maybe we should sign keashall to an extension , I don't think it's the twins way ...

Keashall with his second double and second rbi , will he be the clutch hitter we desperately need ...

Thanks for the reminder that the baseball season is upon us , I wasn't sure what is was called ... But seriously , buxton is playing loose and fun to watch ... The 3 acquisitions have played better than anyone thought and yes it appears we have a surplus of young arms ready to take a turn or two , maybe even secure a permanent spot in the rotation ...

If zebby continues to improves as a starting pitcher , he could be a playoff starting pitcher ... First we have to win win and win to get to the playoffs ...

We're in trouble if it's Alcala or willi , i was thinking positive when i stated Stewartfor the eighth ... Funderburk optioned down to AAA ...

Guess we know who is pitching the 8th inning tonight ...

Then they shouldn't sit down , stand and stay loose ...

Can't believe everything put to ink or heard ... I can't believe the responses about Jax , yes he hasn't been the Jax of last year , but his bad start to this season and everyone wants him demoted , alot of the players are off to slow starts , things aren't working out great so far for Jax but there is no need to sweep him to the gutter just yet ... Last couple of years everyone praised how Jax pitched, now the same fans are thinking he is cooked , it's early in the season and time for jax to turn it around , it's not time to be fickle about one player ... The twins FO came into this season 2025 as pretenders on contending , we fans knew it was going to be much of the same from 2024 late season crash , we just didn't expect jax to be the one to start out this bad ... Jax for one cannot pitch consecutive days and be effective ( i know he had 1 day off between mets series and Atlanta , but he pitch 2 days consecutively against mets on wed.and thur . ), just like Taylor Roger's couldn't pitch effectively on consecutive days ... Also when jax is on his game he throws less than 15 pitches to get through the inning , if he's not on his game Rocco should pull him after the 3rd batter but Rocco wants relievers to eat innings and then the results aren't favorable ... It was another bad game for jax , it's been a brutal start to his season but I'm not ready to throw him overboard for fish food ... This is just what my eyes have seen of jax career as a reliever ...

I posted on a thread today about Jax that I wasn't worried , I'M WORRIED NOW ... Still better than pagan ...

5th inning for paddack , mow em down will you .

One can dream , kid keashall has 2 hits , what will he do next , up the middle with a diamond cutter ...

I concur with that ...

Has anyone posted canterino has been dfa'd ???

Hit to right field , take the pitch where it's pitched ... Nice hit and rbi keashall ...

Jax should be fine , he's a bulldog and has the intelligence to work it out ... I'm not concerned with Jax , I was concerned when they left him unprotected in the rule 5 draft 2 years in arow , I followed him in the minors as a starter and always liked what I saw ... Aye aye captain ...

Buxton has been aggressive on the base paths ... Once again he is fun to watch on the bases and as a centerfielder ... He's healthy for now on his feet and showing more enthusiasm than others , let's hope he can get his bat going and help the offense ...

There are very many unanswered questions with this team ... Who is held accountable , 2021 , 2022 , first half of 2023 and 2024 were unacceptable performances for a major league team ... FO , Rocco and coaching staff is accountable for constructing and developing this team ... The players are accountable by playing baseball with no passion of the game , just a job collecting a paycheck ...

No wins in development leagues , that's the way the ball bounces once in awhile ...

Yesterday our hopes are soaring with the possibility of keashall helping the offense ... This article kind of deflates that hope some as he may not be ready ... Either he performs or fails , it's worth the try ... I'm in agreement with others of our coaching at the major league level , they haven't done well in taking talent and coaching players to major league talent ... The coaching does not stop at MLB , but it's different for every player on how to get the most production ... Let the kid hit and run while he's here filling in for injured players ...
