    Edited for accuracy 🤣

    Josh Bell & Brooks Lee redemption game incoming!🙏🏼
  3. Saxophone Joe
    Heading into the 9th, I was feeling very zen. 6-2 losses go that way sometimes. “We’ll get ‘em tomorrow.” But damnit, the base running debacle is bugging me bad.
  4. Saxophone Joe
    Why is Twins.TV not showing the replay?!
  5. Saxophone Joe
    Denard - that is not a “tough break.”🤮
  6. Saxophone Joe
    Put the pitchforks down, gang. Royce has a sore hamstring, fwiw, per Bobby Nightengale Jr.

    A world of difference from how we came out of the break last year. What a turnaround from Ober. He threw 20+ pitches before he got his first out! I doubted if he was going to make it past the 2nd. Luke Keaschall: Baseball player.

    Great win! They never paint a masterpiece, but the bullpen everyone loves to hate does it again 🙌🏼
  9. Saxophone Joe
    I won’t be surprised if we don’t see Buxton until Cleveland. Shelton already hinted at that. Huge stretch coming up, needless to say. And I, for one, have faith in Tristan Gray!

    With respect to the bullpen, when’s the last time they blew a lead after the 7th inning (and we lost)? The Saturday of the Royals series in early June iirc. 5 weeks ago. I know this goes against the narrative. But…not too shabby!

    What a ride! Raise your hand if you predicted on Opening Day that this team would be tied for a playoff spot heading into the All-Star Break. *crickets* OK, maybe Peter?

    I fell to the ground in relief/exhaustion when he caught it. I thought at first that was a homer, too. Dramatic until the end, per usual. Ha!
  13. Saxophone Joe
    Very happy for you! Kreidler killed it out there! 🔥👊🏼

    - Absolutely incredible that Taylor Rogers is the only reliever who’s been in the bullpen the whole season and here we are, just outside the third wild card spot while patching together a new bullpen on the fly. - Said it in the game thread, but Bremer’s speech was very moving. - Good win. The late innings simply never fail to bring drama.
  15. Saxophone Joe
    Not gonna lie - Bremer’s speech choked me up! Beautiful words.
  16. Saxophone Joe
    We’ll take the W. It was mentioned in other posts yesterday, but this year is really showing the parity throughout MLB.
  17. Saxophone Joe
    Ouch. 3 runs with 7 doubles has gotta be extremely rare…
  18. Saxophone Joe
    For what it's worth, he seems to be at his seat by the dugout most games until the end.
  19. Saxophone Joe
    A few other random thoughts: - We left 12 runners on base. That Clemens near homer, and Lee's baserunning blunders, bugged me all game (until it didn't!). - Speaking of Kody, that might've been the worse challenge of the season on the 3-0 call. Clearly a strike. The ump was missing calls all night - thankfully, he got the strike 3 call right on the 3-2 count in the 8th (which was huge). Having that final challenge could've been critical. - I'm glad we didn't have to bring in Paredes in the 10th. - Keaschall made a very nice running catch in the 9th!

    He wasn't setting the league on fire or anything, but he only had 38 plate appearances in 12 games with the Twins before the thumb injury. To your point, though: I remember not being blown away upon first look. But yes, he was huge last night. That walk-off celebration was 🔥Dude was pumped - as he should be: That might've been the best all-around at-bat of the Twins' season. I will have to tell my family no spoilers this afternoon. Am I the only one who turns off notifications during the work day to watch afternoon games on replay on the MLB.TV after work? It gets tricky sometimes in this day and age but it can be done.
  21. Saxophone Joe
    I mean…
  22. Saxophone Joe
    It's his throwing shoulder so I know it's not good, but how bad of an injury is this? Pretty vague, so too soon to tell? I wonder if Raya was going to be sent down anyway when Bailey came up. Or Adams, I suppose. Next man up!
  23. Saxophone Joe
    Sure, why not? Anyway, I just love that this is a legitimate question less than a week from the All-Star break! I wish I could read all the hot takes from the past six months (and beyond) ripping on the entire organization that are starting to age like milk. And, no, I'm not Tom Pohlad! ;)
  24. Saxophone Joe
    In hindsight, they should've challenged that bang-bang play at first on Fedko's debut in Texas. Thought he looked safe. They showed his mom right before that pleading for a hit. 🙃 Anyway, hope he keeps his head up. He did come up big taking third on the walk-off win against the Rockies. And he's got an RBI (against a position player haha). He'll always have that... Sounds like a fun night at the ballpark!
  25. Saxophone Joe
    I felt very seen and got a chuckle out of a tweet saying that the Varland, Jax, Duran combo would've lost this game. I believe it... This pen is always going to be an adventure and work in progress, but outside of the near disaster against Colorado, has been pretty solid the past couple weeks. Props!
