    Also thought it was pretty lame the Twins FO all but confirmed it off the record to reporters, too.

    My day will be made if Trevor Larnach is still a Twin in 6 hours time. Not feeling great about the odds. Fingers crossed.

    Unpopular opinion: Am I the only one who won't mind if they just stand pat today?
  4. Saxophone Joe
    Like Dan Hayes pointed out - and I just realized was pointed out above - what Shelton left unsaid in his explanation (but was likely a factor in his decision) was that Gomez has walked 15 batters in 33 innings.

    …or else? Odds are still stacked against us. I’ll be perfectly content if we go 4-5 on this road trip.

    This series was a mirror image of last year’s visit to Seattle: Big come from behind Twins win in the first game, followed by two disappointing, walk-off one-run losses. I remember it ended up being a bit of a turning point in the 2025 season. Hope that isn’t the case again this year.

    No argument there. Gotta step on their throats in that position. Bad at bat from Bell.

    I hope Shelty flipped over the table holding the postgame buffet, Billy Martin style.

    I have a feeling the flight to KC won’t be quite as jubilant as the one to Seattle…

    Robles getting to second bugs me more than Royce’s brain freeze yesterday. I didn’t hear Cory’s explanation and thought the bases chyron was wrong on my screen. Ugh.
  13. Saxophone Joe
    Yikes, if looks could kill: told my wife that that could be Larnach’s last at-bat as a Twin 🤬
  14. Saxophone Joe
    Larnach seems to be striking out a lot lately.
  15. Saxophone Joe
    Bell hasn’t hit a homer since hitting 2 on the 4th of July. Not great.
  16. Saxophone Joe
    I’m sure our RISP average has dropped substantially over the past month,

    I dunno, imo “good teams” do indeed lose those games. Hell, the Blue Jays - a great team - lost the World Series (!) because of situational mental errors like that. It happens. Remember how Philly lost to the Dodgers last year? They’re human. Even saw the Dodgers lose to Seattle the other night because Kyle Tucker didn’t run home from second when it was clear he should. The Twins played hard, didn’t capitalize on some opportunities. Who knows what happens in the 9th if Caratini uses a challenge. Was waiting for Bell to pinch hit for Martin. Them’s the breaks.

    I’d rather have lost this way today than if, say, Gomez had given up a 3-run walk off last night. It’s been a good run, tomorrow is a new day. Like others have said, it was a damn good baseball game.
  19. Saxophone Joe
    Feeling strangely zen about this loss. Hard fought game, suppose we were due for one to break against us like this. You’ll get ‘em next time, Royce 👊🏼
  20. Saxophone Joe
    I’m shook, y’all. Need Larnach on my team! Please…

    Bullpen: elite! 😎 No “nightmares” in Twins Territory last night. CC Bob Nightengale.
  22. Saxophone Joe
    Nightengale needs to call his son for an update on the status of the bullpen. Seems Bobby Sr. hasn't check in on the Twins for months. This article reads like it was from early June. The Varland trade flat out won the game for us on Puckett jersey night. In my eyes, the bullpen hasn't "lost" us a game in close to two months. Some of us have moved on from the fire sale... And it was fun to hear Ken Rosenthal just kinda shrug this morning on Foul Territory after the Minter trade, downplaying the likelihood of a Jeffers trade: Well, the Twins are buyers.
  23. Saxophone Joe
    haha they were brutal, offense especially. And have we got confirmation that Caglianone's homer landed yet? Great to see the bullpen do its job once again, though, kept us within an ultimate grand slam (never heard that term before yesterday).

    I was at work and watched the game on replay last night. All I knew about the game was a "King Kody" text from my brother. I figured that meant we won but needless to say, by the ninth, it was difficult to imagine a Twins W. I did the math in my head in the ninth and then realized, holy sh*t, is my man Kody (should've been an All-Star!) about to do the thing?!

    This is a fun thread to revisit the morning after. Dan Hayes called the 9th inning one of the most improbable moments he's seen in 20 years covering MLB.
