    Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I think there was one out in that situation, and the runner on third probably tags up and scores if Larnach catches that. But, yes, to your point: the defense did Ryan no favors in those innings.

    Jeffers' near-homer reminded me of the Pittsburgh game when we came back from 7 runs down only for Arcia to just miss a homer that would've given us a lead in the 9th.

    Mid-March 2026: "Babe, let's get Twins TV this season," she said. "It'll be fun!" Me, trying to get through the season's final three weeks:

    I'm 43, was a hardcore Twins fan from '90 through around 2010. I've read several books on the team's history, didn't follow too closely from around 2012-2022 but was on board again for 2023, the epic collapse in '24, etc. So maybe this is my recency bias showing, but can any of you longtime fans recall a Twins team that has struggled more than this one in winning/finishing close games? The 9-65 record after the 6th inning is eye-popping. And it's not just failures in clutch hitting but all aspects. It was a problem of course in the early parts of the season, but for about six weeks from early June to the All-Star Break, we had done a much, much better job of closing games, especially the bullpen. But this part of the 2026 season has been so hard to watch lately. This season has gone from fun and rewarding to uber frustrating over the last six weeks or so. We truly had a shot at legitimate shot at the playoffs. I draw a line at the Mariners series when it started to go south, bad.

    In my heart, I want to disagree but can't. Sad but true.

    That's exactly what Tom Glavine said recently on Jeff Passan's podcast. It's going to be a very risky game of chicken for awhile... Anyway, I need to find a new hobby after being absolutely wrecked by this team lately. 🙃

    Damnit! If we were just 5% more effective (and lucky) in closing out games, we could have at least 6-10 more wins. I swear there have been five games alone where we missed a game-winning homer in the ninth by a few feet. Like today with Jeffers. That's gotta be a homer in at least 25 of 30 ballparks.

    2 GIDP. 5 runners LOB.

    Bad timing for Josh Bell’s worst game as a Twin.
  11. Saxophone Joe
    Tigers are luck merchants! 🤮💀

    I know we had a hit in this position earlier today, but our 2-out RISP average has gotta be just brutal post-All Star Break.

    Trending toward another “failed to capitalize on our opportunities” postgame recap from Shelty.

    Should’ve kept Gasper. Even Wade Boggs is singing his praises: “He is the real deal.”

    Published Aug. 30 🤣

    That 63% solo homer rate is telling. Does seem like we’ve hit a lot of ‘em this year.
  18. Saxophone Joe
    Is it bad that we didn’t win a road series b/w the 4th of July and Labor Day? 😭

    Listening to the assistant GM

    Is that 6 Ks in a row for Larnach? Only 3 more to go to tie the MLB record! 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Running on empty…
  24. Saxophone Joe
    Our 9-63 record when down after 6 innings has gotta be near, if not the bottom of, the worst in MLB. Been especially bad in that category over the last 5 weeks or so. “Resilient” overall, ok, but not exactly the comeback kids.
  25. Saxophone Joe
    Twins played their worst all-around game in the (imo) most important game of the season. Way to come correct!
