    The Twins won a postseason series in 2023. Since then, the fan base has been tortured. There's no denying that. A season that began with optimism is ending with the roster torn down to the studs and Correa dumped for practically nothing. Fans should be pissed.

    How in the hell does a team win a title shooting 30 percent from the field? Shoot 20 more free throws than the other team.

    Willians Astudillo is 6-for-8 with a home run in two games with Rochester. La Tortuga is pissed off.

    Had a physical last week. Weighed 290. Blood pressure on high end of normal. Started working out again. You: Kiss my fat ass. Everyone else: Root for me to stick to a plan this time.

    The eagle went haywire and landed on James Paxton’s shoulder! Handler had to rush out to retrieve it!

    Minnesota gets screwed. If Buxton is a Yankee and Stanton is a Twin, Buck wins

    Rocco Baldelli named AL Manager of the Year over Aaron Boone and Kevin Cash. The Twins beat the Yankees at something....

    Rich Hill just called out @mlb for not allowing families of support staff (equipment managers, PR, etc) to travel for the postseason while players’ families can.

    I feel bad for Vikings fans. To go from low expectations to the future quarterback getting injured to the caretaker QB thriving to a 14-win season to the caretaker QB wilting under the bright lights is mental torture.

    Some things I never thought I’d see: The Twins lead the majors in batting average, slugging percentage and OPS. Buxton leads in doubles. Rosario and Polanco in top five in WAR.

    And that’s why you don’t give up on Buxton
