    Louis Varland lost it in the 9th today for the Blue Jays. Just saying 🤷🏼‍♂️ Silver linings: Bullpen did its job today for the Twins, and in the two one-run losses against LA.
  2. Saxophone Joe
    We currently have a better record than the defending AL champs. Meanwhile, Detroit and its bullpen had a terrible series against Houston. Fan bases across MLB - save for a handful of clubs - are pissed off at their teams, for various reasons... Point is - all and all, after 85 games, could be a lot worse for Shelty and co.! “Hunt the good” indeed.
  3. Saxophone Joe
    Shelty just said they don’t think it’s an arm injury, for what that’s worth. His side, maybe?
  4. Saxophone Joe
    Great read by Martin! Banda’s injury looked bad. But so did Joe’s.
  5. Saxophone Joe
    Trademarked that two weeks ago;)
  6. Saxophone Joe
    Shoot, I’m behind on the game. Chiming in that Austin cost himself an RBI there.
  7. Saxophone Joe
    The Shelty post-game presser was painful. Still searching for guys in the pen to step up 85 games into season. “It’s challenging.” Gonna try and keep it postive. Today is a new day. Get a win and keep our head above water on the road trip.
  8. Saxophone Joe
    All roads lead back to King Kreidler! So happy for him. And I honestly couldn’t care less about the bullpen implosion. Whatever it took to finally get a walk off, I’m here for it.
  9. Saxophone Joe
    I don’t know if I would’ve slept tonight had we lost. Thank you, baseball gods! 🙏🏼
  10. Saxophone Joe
    This team 🤣
  11. Saxophone Joe
    Borrego's has had a rough year at third imo, Should've sent the runner the other day against the Astros, but shouldn't have sent Austin Martin the other night. Always easy to second guess though...As Perkins mentioned on the broadcast, we caught a bad break on how the Gray double went down the line last night.
  12. Saxophone Joe
    I hear ya. They're playing hard. I'm just bummed we didn't find a way to win one of these close games, and we have no margin for error right now to celebrate moral victories. Would've been great for the team and fans to finally get a walk off. It was right there for the taking last night. Such is life as a Twins (and Minnesota sports) fan. 🤐
  13. Saxophone Joe
    Sure, I get it. A Buck walk off would've been a lot cooler though;) I dunno, just seems like the mentality of a team that was just satisfied to be competing against the best team in baseball. Let Mookie get his 300th this weekend against the Padres. Every run was going to matter last night.
  14. Saxophone Joe
    I wonder what Joe Ryan thinks about Brooks saying "that's pretty cool" when Mookie blasted his 300th. lmao. We're trying to win a game here, Youngblood!
  15. Saxophone Joe
    Buck's RISP struggles are clearly in his head at this point. He already admitted to Dan Hayes that he thinks about it "all the time." I'll be glad to be wrong, but I fear this series, and especially this game, will be looked upon as a turning point of sorts in the season, kinda like last year's series against LA (even if that was a month later in the season) when we lost that heartbreaker in the rubber match. Obviously, the Mick Abel news from yesterday is crushing, too.
  16. Saxophone Joe
    Just got DFA'd this a.m.. Rojas sent down, Kody and Raya called up. And around and around we go...
  17. Saxophone Joe
    And if Joe was too ill to pitch, I dunno, he shouldn’t have been at the ballpark last night?
  18. Saxophone Joe
    Is my math right here? Since our 10-run (!) explosion in the 5th inning last Saturday, we’ve scored a combined 8 runs across 31 innings, with 3 solo homers. 🤦🏼‍♂️
  19. Saxophone Joe
  20. Saxophone Joe
    MLB isn't for the sentimental, but I'll still feel bad for the kid if he gets sent down before getting his first hit. He's gotten so close a couple times!
  21. Saxophone Joe
    Good game. Dang, what's it gonna take to get a walk-off win again though? I think our last one was Keaschall's opposite field shot off the Royals last August. I know technically we didn't have the winning run up to plate last night, but it seems like we've had at least a dozen opportunities so far this season. ....Also, wasn't Larnach's bomb off Lauer earlier this season in Toronto enough to keep him in the lineup all game long?
  22. Saxophone Joe
    This lineup actually did this once already - in that blowout win against the Red Sox back in April, when they scored 4 in the first and 7 in the second. Wonder if any Twins lineup across 65 years has batted around twice in two games in one season - both times in consecutive innings. Crazy! Fun fact: King Ryan Kreidler started both games;)
  23. Saxophone Joe
    Did Buck get his first hit this season with a RISP with two outs on that infield single (that didn't score a run)? 🤣 The broadcasters didn't mention that Brooks broke his consecutive at-bats without a strikeout streak..And struck out again the next time. Funny game.
  24. Saxophone Joe
    I’m glad you mentioned Jackson’s contributions. By and large, he and Vic have filled in admirably - to say the least - in Jeffers’ absence on both sides. Another great team win. Oh, and Kreidler is crushing it! Starting to come together, Pepper. Happy flight home, fellas✌
  25. Saxophone Joe
    Ryan Kreidler is a game changer!
