Despite the HR against Ober, Steer has -0.6 bWAR and a 64 OPS+, not exactly setting the world on fire.

That could have been his first ever homer as a Red and it would have been more than Mahle did for the twins

I'm guessing the Reds and the Rangers, who Mahle pitches for now.

Mahle is back on the IL with shoulder fatigue. He keeps getting contracts, it seems like he’s the only one that’s winning.

Need a 4 HR game from Buck

Reds and Rangers ... I could've worded that better

He went to the Rangers as a free agent. There was never a path for him to sign with the Twins. 

The Rangers aren't part of the trade equation.

Need, yes.  Will get, highly unlikely.  As a team, I doubt we get 4 tonight.

REALLY!?!?! I DIDN'T KNOW THAT!!!!!

Two different teams that aren't the Twins have benefited from elements of a less than three year old trade.  Like I said, I could've worded it better

[exeoud]

Ober pitching in Cincy's ballpark is what nightmares are made of. He might give up 5+ homers.

[Aggies7]

The worst part about that trade is that the twins were deadline buyers and finished 6 games below 500

[Aggies7]

Man we aren’t good right now

If they're gonna get lit up tonight, at least let Elly go off so at least my fantasy team can benefit

Lodolo has a high-pitched count. Keep doing what you’re doing and no hero ball swings, please!

[Aggies7]

lol they showed Royce for the “border battle” promo.

[MMMordabito]

Royce Lewis imaging for Twins/Brewers weekend series. Marketing fail.

Hey, it might get Brewer fans excited for the series.  They buy tickets too, and Joe P's haircuts don't pay for themselves!

Royce, having you in the lineup might sell an extra 300 tickets. Get in there, kid

We have now returned to our standard M.O. of comic level ineptitude in pitching and hitting. 

Unfortunately, there's no sign of it ending anytime soon.

I just flipped on the Saints, and the first thing I see is old frenemy Manny Margot moonlighting as a Mud Hen!

I think I should just stop watching baseball for the night

Rocco, its Ober

 

[IndyTwinsFan]

Ober just doesn't have it, again. Nearing time to find something more interesting to do, like watching grass grow in the dark.
