This was my first year as a Twins fan and I had no expectations so I was happy enough - I would have loved it if they made playoffs but they weren't going to compete meaningfully so they best they can do is give us hope for 2027, and I think they did that. I would say I have more hope at the end of 2026 than at the start. Cut some dead weight and let the kids play and there will be something worth cheering about most weeks of 2027, shortened season or not.

77 depending on which Kremer shows up. Will Sabato get an opportunity to rack up his first hit?

Fizzlesticks. That was a wet blanket of a game after yesterday. Keasch providing the shining light finishing the year strong at least

Interesting strategy for a pinch hitter. Taking a 3rd strike over the plate on a 0-2 😆

Jenkins hitting streak ends. He shouldn't have cut his hair, he lost his strength

The 3rd strikes way out of the zone for Lee are a killer. He needs to fix that over the off season. Way above or below, either way he'll swing

Sure, why not keep letting Ober get knocked around the park when the bp is mostly fresh and he's not going to be a starter next year. The bats are having a scheduled off day after yesterday anyway! Old mate off the IL who hasn't gone more than 45 pitches his last 3 outings is pitching for his life

DG designated GIDPer / groundouter 😆

Wild pitch for good measure. I see your 2nd innings yesterday and raise you one

That troublesome third out. There's not much of a velo gap between the fastball and the slower offerings. Double after double after double! I've never seen 4 doubles in an innings before so there you go. Cya Bailey! 👋 It's Ober

I feel like Lee at third and Jenkins and Rodriguez in the outfield have all made noticeable defensive improvements to the team. Keaschall is getting comfortable in the corner and sticking catches he would have dropped earlier in the year. Culpepper TBD with a number of errors as he settles in but his offense is encouraging. A catcher who can cut down some stolen bases would be huge. Overall I like the direction they're heading in.

Ah man I worked it out. They think it's 'closer' as in make the margin closer / nearer, not as in close the door! Semantics.

It would be funny if it said "[pitcher] intentionally struck out Royce Lewis". And he just adds 3 pitches to his count 😂

Rosario is the last one I'd like to see take some swings at major league pitching but I can't wait until next year

Just needed a starter to close 😆
