All Things 2025 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

Duran an AS? His minuscule 1.09 ERA with 4 Ws & 9 S, with a 10.6 Ks/per 9!!!

Pagan has 14 S for the Reds as their closer!!

Ryan an AS? His minuscule 0.83 WHIP (second in the Bigs) with 5 Ws & 2.56 ERA, with a 10.3 Ks/per 9!!!
 


Seattle hadn't lost a game all year when leading after 7 IIRC. And then we scored 9 runs in two innings.

We don't see these in this direction very often.

I fell asleep in the 8th.

Watching via DVR this morning, the ERA for the Mariner's closer (Munoz) was 0.00 before last night.
 





Carlos Correa ejected from the game. He was ejected from the on-deck circle.

Might have been the difference in what turns into a 5-4 defeat in 11 innings.

Ultimately, poor base running cost the Twins big time.
 




Exciting game with post-season feel. Watkins blunder sending Wallner home likely costs Twins game—situation worsened by Wallner’s awkward footwork.
Also credit the throw by the Mariner CF.

That was a tracer, but still, never make the 1st out at Home.
 







And Castro has to be at 3rd base when he sees throw for llll go through and play at plate.
There’s a decent chance Castro was running station-to-station not every believing Watkins would send a slightly gimpy Wallner home when the alternative is bases loaded and no outs with the Twins playing for a big inning in an extras game on the road. If that’s his thinking he’s also going to be careful rounding second in the event of a cut-throw from the outfield.
 

For those that didn’t see it. Ump thought everyone was there to see him.

Tough night for home plate umpire who had missed (in my humble Twins opinion the previous two pitches among many for the night) and then decided he would directly inject himself into the game by weakening the Twins lineup. It would be interesting to know how the umpire evaluation brass views the Correa ejection.
 





Could have swept. Could have been swept. Ended up 1-2. Been a little happier at 2-1.
 

Big props to Paddock. Guys been great this year.
Even though the Twins lost, tying the game in the 9th and saving Paddock from the defeat was bailing out a teammate. Seeing the regression to the mean in terms of good fortune the last few games after the 13 game winning streak. Ball bounced nicely for the Mariners the last two games.
 



The Twins lost their team record 14th-straight game on this date in 1982. They were in last place (obviously) in the seven-team American League West—TWENTY games behind the Angels.

They finished the season with 102 losses—33 games behind the Angels.

Minneapolis Paper

In 1983, Donald Trump made a $50 million offer to buy the Minnesota Twins, one deal the businessman-turned-president failed to seal.
Now, Trump’s signature policy bill could end up punishing the next owner of the MLB team as well as another for-sale pro franchise in town.
A tax benefit sports team owners have used to reduce their overall taxes will cut in half under the “Big Beautiful Bill” the House of Representatives recently passed. The move would raise nearly $1 billion in revenue through the next decade, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation, and would only affect those who buy teams after the law goes into effect.
For the next owners of the Twins and the NBA/WNBA Timberwolves/Lynx organization, it’s a race to the finish line to keep the lucrative tax break intact.
The Pohlads have owned the Twins for four decades after buying the squad for $44 million in 1984. The Minnesota family put the team up for sale last year, originally hoping to sell by Opening Day this spring. Insiders said last week the sale is “closer to the end than to the beginning,” as buyers kick the tires on Target Field and meet with the Pohlads.
Meanwhile, the Timberwolves and Lynx recently emerged from a much lengthier sale debacle, with former MLB star Alex Rodriguez and entrepreneur Marc Lore winning an arbitration ruling allowing the sale to continue. Minnesota billionaire Glen Taylor, who also owns the Minnesota Star Tribune, bought the team in 1994 for $94 million. He agreed to sell the franchise to Rodriguez and Lore in 2021 for $1.5 billion but later called it off because of an alleged breach of contract.
The transaction has yet to close, and the NBA Board of Governors still has to vote to approve the sale.
 


Let someone else give it to him though please....
