That’s the ultimate walkoff. Down 3, Bases loaded, down to last strike, grand slam. A hit can’t be any bigger than that.

I think the biggest mistake the Twins could do is become buyers.

The AL is so weak this year and we do not generally do well against good teams. Best to cash on guys having career years like Larnach and Clemens, get something for Jeffers, etc. keep building a young core and look to 2027-2028 for real contention.

Bottom 9th was wild....Royce, Bell, and Clemons all had 2 strikes before their hit/walk.

Trevor Larnach strikes out swinging. 1 Out
1.8% chance of winning

Victor Caratini lines out to shortstop Tyler Tolbert. 2 Outs
0.5% chance of winning

Ryan Jeffers hit by pitch.
1.5%

Royce Lewis singles on a ground ball to center fielder Lane Thomas. Ryan Jeffers to 2nd.
4.6% chance of winning

Jose Bell Walk
9.9% Chance of winning

Kody Clemens hits a grand slam (19) to right center field. Ryan Jeffers scores. Royce Lewis scores. Alan Roden scores.
100.0% Chance of winning

We're buyers. Just traded for A.J. Minter, a premier LH reliever.

3.3 million spent after cutting 30 million.....there is a ways to go yet. RH bat and another legit starter.

No more bats needed. The only place we can really upgrade our offense? Shortstop. But it's almost impossible to trade for an impact shortstop bat. Maybe Kreidler can get hot again. If not, it's just one spot in the order that sucks, and he's pretty good defensively.

Wow, the Brewers didn't want to part with a couple of their precious 'prospects' for a solid chance at a WS title? Because the cheap ass owner has to rely on prospects?

In 2023, the Brewers reached an agreement with Wisconsin lawmakers for taxpayers to subsidize renovations of the Brewers' stadium American Family Field for around $500 million. In the lead-up to the agreement, Brewers officials threatened to leave Milwaukee unless the team received taxpayer money.

Sounds like Red McCombs. Perfect example of another greedy owner fleecing the public.

They are dangerous enough, but imagine facing Skubal and Misiorowski in a series?!

Now the owners have more ammo to use for their scapegoating as they hide behind their wallets.

Aren’t they 30 games over .500.

The MN Twins they aren’t as they are competing at the highest level.

We get Dean Kremer also. Need 2025 Kremer somehow.

No big moves so far. Larnach for B Abreu apparently nixed by Houston owner.

Seriously, If all we get at the deadline is Minter and Kremer...

Why ****ing bother?

IF you are going to be buyers then ****ing buy. Enough of this pussyfooting around and go get someone of substance to help this team win. Otherwise it's just another "look we did something, see? see? see? So will you come to games now?" to Answer that question, not unless the tickets are free.


We need more than an midling starter and bullpen arm.

It would have been far better to just trade away valuable assets like Larnach, Clemens, Jeffers, and Ryan to build a really good team for years to come...

Why does this front office have to be so ****ing frustrating?

Imagine the Vikings have the best record in football in December but could use a talent influx at a high impact position. At the trade deadline, arguably the best player at that position hits the market. Maybe a shutdown CB, a QB, whatever. They can obtain said player without trading a single starter or day one pick. The package probably requires a 2nd rounder, an oft-injured backup who looked great a couple of years ago in the two games he played, and a PS throw in. Even though he is likely a rental, obtaining this player gives them the best chance in the history of the franchise to secure a ring,

At least one person's response is we're x games above .500 so things are just fine.

Sounds just like 14-3.

The Brewers and TB don't have the $$$ even the Twins should have.........

It would be great for both fan bases as they are in the playoffs almost every year.....

So they can't pay Skubal's pro-rated salary for the rest of the season?

Taketh $500 million from the public but giveth nothing when it counts.

Time for Russian oligarchs to start owning some of these teams.
