  1. Buck will be shutdown for the season by Monday.
  2. You can feel it now: this team (and the sleepy crowd) wants out.
  3. We were No. 1 in the league until a month or so ago. But I’d bet we’re easily in the bottom 3 over the last six weeks - when it’s mattered the most.
  4. All hands on deck today. Gotta play & manage this game like there is no tomorrow for your playoff chances (because there isn’t). And then take the same approach tomorrow. Have Buxton pinch hit if he can. Give him a chance for a Kirk Gibson moment.
  5. I know I know. Just looking at it from a mathematical standpoint. I can squint and see an extremely narrow path 5.5 down. I can’t at 7.5 down. I’m in the bargaining stage of grieving the 2026 Twins.
  6. Absolutely 💯 NEED to win the next two games to keep any semblance of hope alive. Lose today or tomorrow and that’s a wrap, folks. Roll credits.
  7. Yup. That’s what Billy Martin would’ve done. Wonder if a Twins pitcher will send a message to Vargas today, if the opportunity arises?
  8. Should’ve got like 7-8 runs off Castillo. He had nothing. Sigh. 😔 Just a terrible game on all fronts from Jeffers. Song of the night on Yacht Rock Night: “What a Fool Believes.”
  9. Just curious, really: is the Jesus Won shirt that Jenkins was wearing (in Twins-like font) typically allowed by MLB to be worn like it was during on-the-field drills? Looks like team apparel at first glance imo. Quite the pre-game hype show. Big expectations for the youngster.
  10. Baby steps : Take 2 of 3 — rinse and repeat for the next four series. Better yet, sweep. Anything is possible!
  11. I echo a lot of these sentiments. Wanna add that joining TD this season has been a blast - thanks for having me!
  12. Difference in the game was the A’s CF saving two runs on a nice running catch on Larnach’s liner to right center with two outs. And…Keaschall not making a similar play. What was the bullpen’s ERA on this road trip? It had to be over 10. The bullpen was arguably this team’s strength a week ago! Also, by my math: since Aug. 1, this team has lost 8 (!!) games when leading/tied going into the 6th. When we write the season obit, that will be a crucial stat. Conversely, this month we’ve won just one game when trailing in the 6th or later. Bad, bad baseball. Need to win at least 10 of the next 15. Good luck!
  13. That’s what my wife said - “he looks dazed.” I’ve been on a Billy Martin kick this summer. Read bios, watched documentaries. This team would’ve driven Billy absolutely insane.
  14. In summary, he was not a happy skipper. Didn’t say anything we all didn’t already know, of course.
  15. I’m a glutton for punishment. Gotta stay up for Shelty’s presser 😬
  16. That is going to be one quiet flight home. So much for the pipe dream of packing Target Field this weekend.💀
  17. I was watching live until 30 minutes ago. Went to walk my dog. Skip ahead through the commercials and I’m back live:)
  18. Whiplash the last couple of weeks for sure. We were riding high in the 3rd wild card…6 days ago.
  19. I’m an inning or so behind on the broadcast. Just watched the A’s laughing at us after Keaschall missed the play in center. Rock, meet bottom.
