All Things 2025 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

[Ope3]

Kansas City DH Harmon Killebrew hit his final career home run off the Twins' Eddie Bane in the second inning of a 4-3 Royals win at Met Stadium on this date in 1975.

Rod Carew homered in the game for Minnesota.

Killebrew's 573 home runs were fifth-most in MLB history at the time of his retirement, and trailed only Babe Ruth in American League history. He was eventually elected to the Hall of Fame on his fourth ballot.

That picture is unnatural and should be banished from the internet

A Ruthian equivalent with the Boston Braves.

Wow dead heat.

Since MLB ditched Game 163 (idiotic) the Guards actually have the Tie Breaker having clinched the season series with their win tonight.

And Eddie Julien climbs over .200 for the season.

So now we only have two hitters under .200 in the lineup tonight

Outman got in the game to increase the sub-Medoza line total.

Speaking of which, Vasquez was activated yesterday.

Jeffers also returned from his concussion to DH today and his expected to go behind the plate later this week.

Catching duo of Jeffers and Vázquez back for season's last week

ARLINGTON -- With six games to play in the season, the Twins are getting both of their catchers back. A day after Christian Vázquez was activated from the injured list, Ryan Jeffers joined him. Jeffers was reinstated from the 7-day concussion IL Tuesday after missing 16 games due to a

Twins eliminated the Rangers last night from the WC chase.

Recent Bright Spots Pitching Wise -

Funderburk
Has not allowed any runs, earned of otherwise in his last nine appearances, spanning nine innings and just 3 hits, 1 walk vs. 13Ks.
This has lowered his ERA frim 4.8 to 3.69.

Zebby
Had another quality start last night; that’s his third QS in his last five outings. He’s had 16 starts this season and 4 QS - so I like how this is trending.

As I’ve said before, he has middle of the rotation stuff and is is a big boy at
6’5” 225 lbs and ultimately I think Festa will goes the Griffin Jax route and go to the pen, less innings for his 6’5” 190 lbs frame.

5-14 in September for Detroit. Lucky for them, Houston has lost 4 in a row so they currently are still in position for a wild card spot.

Also the tank job has put a Bye into Divisional Round essentially out of reach (3 back of Seattle) for the Tigers.

Win Twins!!

I truly cannot believe that the rest of the family let Joe Pohlad talk them into keeping the team. Do they have any idea how bad it's going to get next year?

Twins got some shit luck. Hopefully they don’t have to amputate a limb.

Bummer.

For any Grid Rarity Score hunters out there, Luke is going finish with a .302 BA is his rookie campaign.

Bradley looked pretty good.

Shockingly, the bullpen did not.
