@TalkinTwins That is a long looping swing.

Royce Lewis struck out in a 10-pitch AB where he swung at FOUR pitches nowhere near the plate & whiffed at THREE of them. The count only got extended due to foul balls & a dropped-catch error. He should’ve walked easily. Brutal swing decisions. #MNTwins | #ThisIsMyCrew | #MLB

@Timberwolves And thank you for continuing Minnesota’s championship drought.

always showed up and showed out. thank you for all your support this season, Wolves fans. 💙

@br_betting And no real hope in sight.

Minnesota has not had a major sports championship since 1991 😭

@twincities_T @eLBigGronkowski @RussoHockey So out of all the truth he posted, you chose to dissect the big game hunting comment. The point is he’s given way too many extensions/overpays to undeserving players and it always leaves nothing left in the pot when they truly need it. He should have held firm with Kirill too.

@eLBigGronkowski @brucejo1973 @RussoHockey “Doesn’t go big game hunting” after he just made probably the best trade in franchise history mid season. He does make some dumbass extensions but claiming he doesn’t take shots is retarded

Cap is expected to be $113.5 (or even more) in 2027-28 and should continue to go up, up and up. The $15M in space this summer doesn't include what he'd get. The biggest shame is they don't, as of now, have more this summer for obvious reasons

@eLBigGronkowski @RussoHockey BG has jumped the gun on a number of unnecessary extensions in his tenure.

@RussoHockey I’m all for the Kaprizov deal getting heat but there was no need to jump the gun on the Gus extension and there are a TON of deals that are (predictably) aging terribly on the roster that will make it difficult to move guys

@TwinsGems This was the Tejada walk off game I think.

July 2, 2002. Rick Reed against Athletics. 7.0 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 2 K #MNTwins lose 4-3. FACT: Rick Reed had a 3.78 ERA in 32 starts at the age of 37 in 2002. This makes him the oldest Twins pitcher to qualify for the ERA title and post a sub-4.00 ERA in a season.

@JonKrawczynski Brutal flop but you can’t just shove a guy in the back like that.

I think Wemby might be the best player in the league right now. That means we can’t have this

@Fullcourtpass @JonKrawczynski Wow that’s some true professionalism.

Timberwolves coaches and teammates believe Julius Randle poor performances by the trade deadline were directly connected to his name being bandied about in trade rumors, per @JonKrawczynski (nytimes.com/athletic/72800…)

@allthingsmn If it came down to them having to choose between NAW and Randle, man did they flub that one.

The debt is still being paid on the Rudy Gobert trade. The debt is still being paid on the Dillingham trade. And the Wolves are likely going to be pretty limited in options to cash in on Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert. They’ll be lucky to have any takers for Randle. This era’s been a blast…but the odd roster construction and some big bets that didn’t cash made a championship out of reach. It’s time for the pivot but Ant/Jaden/Naz/Ayo is just nowhere near a good enough young core to take down OKC/SAS and they have very few paths to getting pieces that put them in that category. Timmy’s gotta thread a very fine needle.

@tomhaberstroh That’s what makes their no-show against Dallas a couple years ago so painful. That was their window. They were better than Dallas. But they were so immature, arrogant and over-confident after beating Denver, they took Dallas lightly.

Denver and Minnesota’s windows closed just like that. It happens so quick in this league.

@sny_knicks He should worry about his own situation.

Karl-Anthony Towns has been locked in on watching his former team, the Wolves, during the playoffs: "I'm texting Ant, I'm texting Rudy, I'm texting those guys"

@BrandonMileski Wahlstadt should be untouchable.

If Billy can extend Hughes and trade for Matthews without giving up Wallstedt, it would be a Grand Slam offseason.

@realph_7 @BR_OpenIce He’s won one playoff series since he’s been here.

@BR_OpenIce Guerin has the largest pair of balls in the business. Dude trades 4 first rounders for Quinn and then offers 2+ for Thomas. Yeah, he’s getting a 1C this offseason. I love Billy G

The Minnesota Wild went after Robert Thomas and offered up Danila Yurov and Jesper Wallstedt at the deadline, but the Blues passed 👀 (via @RussoHockey)

@HDtheTVman @reid_s19 @RussoHockey Who’s never there when you need him most. Always something.

@reid_s19 @RussoHockey He’s their second most important defenseman behind Hughes, above Faber

Jonas Brodin said he had surgery a few weeks ago on a broken bone in his foot and it was brutal to miss postseason

@MNTwinsZealot In 35 years with four major sports (140 seasons) you win one by accident. Incredible futility.

The last men’s Minnesota sports championship…ever?

@RussoHockey @nytimes Too much overpaid, washed up, untradable, dead weight.

Wild face a summer of hard questions if they want to become a true contender By @joesmithnnl and me nytimes.com/athletic/72776… via @NYTimes

@ChrisLongKSTP Atleast Kirill has won A playoff game.

Looking back on some replies from last night... Safe to say Kirill Kaprizov has now officially entered the Joe Mauer Zone w/ Minnesota sports fans.

@ryanwhitney6 @tlschwerz Is what it is. Ek and Brodin are hurt every postseason so we’re used to it.

Feel brutal for Wild fans. That team was so good and you lose your best center and a stud top 4 d man against the best team in the league. Just a kick in the dick. Minnesota sports fans are pros at getting their hearts ripped out.

@wolvesnotback @spritery00 His 3 point heave from the logo against the Grizz was something to behold.

@spritery00 game 4 denver entire 2023 series game 6 grizz

dumbest part is people doing revisionist history on KAT he absolutely left ant to die by himself so many times in the playoffs

@FastbreakHoops5 KAT should have been using his head as a punching bag there.

Still not over this 😭
