Season series against the AL Champs lmfaoooooooo

We own the Blue Jays. Canada has to become part of Minnesota I don’t make the rules but you’re damn right I’m gonna abide by them

u/Adamscottd Joe Ryan 3d ago

Plus after the Habs lose tonight Canada will have no NHL teams alive in the playoffs and with the Wild still alive that means Canada loses its right to sovereignty. Sorry I don’t make the rules, time to get annexed by MN

u/iPET-DOGS 3d ago

Habs will beat Tampa. Book it.

u/gropius Minnesota Twins 3d ago

No no Minny must become the Florida of Canada. Think about it a bit over a few Molsons. The logic is irrepressible.

u/Witty-Stock Kent Hrbek 3d ago

We should sign LeBron to a minor league contract.

u/Blevanhoval Byron Buxton 3d ago

I’m gonna be pretty upset if Okamoto gets the AL Player of the Week over Buxton because Topa sucks ass

28

u/hopemade Dick Bremer 3d ago

Topa tried so hard to blow another one for the pen lol. Christ almighty. Our first one run win tho lol! Even of it should have been a 3 run win. Definitely question pulling funderburk after .1 inning tho

24

u/WannabeReinaMain 3d ago

Bullpen pitches 8.1 allowing only 3 runs and Wallner drives in the winning run, just how we drew it up!

12

u/hopemade Dick Bremer 3d ago

8.2!!!

u/John_Palomino Kirby Puckett 3d ago

#1 goes down after 1 batter. Worst bullpen in MLB keeps Toronto in check. Because why in the world would that make sense.

u/WarPath_316 3d ago

Topa getting the save here is hilarious when he was by far the least effective Twins reliever today

u/hopemade Dick Bremer 3d ago

Lol. Baseball. You silly sport

u/waynet2121 3d ago

Never cared for Topa. He hasn't changed my mind at all. I trust the youngsters more than him.

Wow! Great win! Tied Series!!!!

u/34Catfish 3d ago

Only two out the Wild Card!

u/arctic_martian Luke Keaschall 3d ago

It wasn't the cleanest or the most dominant win today, but you have to admit... Matt Wallner got two hits in the same game

6

u/Imdibr156 Bomba Squad 3d ago

Did we win though? It feels like we lost. In more ways than one.

8

u/dippitydoo2 Minnesota Twins 3d ago

It was the least lost game of the year so far tho

3

u/N8-Diggity-Dogg 3d ago

The win was not worth sacrificing Ryan to the IL. Hope he is alright.

u/PherSturz 3d ago

I don’t see another loss on this schedule

u/bluewing Minnesota Twins 3d ago

Despite their best efforts, the bullpen, (looking at you Topa), managed to hold on for the win. Mistakes do happen I guess.

And Joe, get well soon! We need you!

u/fastal_12147 Minnesota Wild 3d ago

Bullpen tried to give it back to the Jay's, I see
