Cubs (Rea) vs Twins (Paddack): 7/10/25, 12:10pm

[Western SD Fan]

I would just like to comment on the Twins promo department.  I don't mind that they are showcasing Sue the Organist, but the fact that you're showing advertisements with Sue the Organist instead of, well maybe, the PLAYERS, either says a lot about the Twins as a team or the baseball operations of the team.  I'll let the masses decide.

Would have been nice if we had bothered to show up today

Sigh.

How fast things change... 3 weeks ago half of Twins Daily was ready to sign Paddack to an extension.

He's probably not as bad as he's shown the last five starts, nor as good as he showed in May-early June.

It's a long season, for good or ill.

You're right.  Paddack is likely closer to the middle or how he has been in his career.  A back-end starter hoping to give you 5 to 6 innings of 3 run or less ball.  I personally wouldn't sign him to an extension and would try to trade him considering we have enough pitchers that fit that role already on the team or in AAA.

Twins should petition MLB to play only night games. 
 

20-27 (will be 20-28 soon) in day games and 25-20 in night games.

Let him go. Trade him here at the deadline if anyone will take anything for him.

Today sucks but Royce is trending upwards this week

Rea joins the long list of ERA over 4 pitchers to shut down the hometown nine.

I liked how they discussed early in the telecast about how the Twins play the greatest number of early games in the MLB and how they can ambush a team because they are used to it.  I think they forgot that the Cubs tend to play a lot of afternoon games at Wrigley and we tend to not be awake on getaway day.

Maybe they just got bad news about Buck

Is there any news on buxtons hbp , results of x-rays or mri  ???

[tony&rodney]

We are watching why too many of the players are strictly platoon bats.

Negative. The x rays, that is.

Dan Hayes:

Byron Buxton's X-rays were negative for fracture. He's considered day to day. #MNTwins

Larnach has looked horrible for awhile.

 

[Patzky]

It wasn't intentional to knock out Buck but a little bit of me wouldn't mind seeing Topa plunk Crow Armstrong.

[thelanges5]

Topa in trouble here

It's a relative term today.

8-1 flips Tuesday's script.

Totally different players but Wallner seems like he has carried his plate appearances into the field very similar to Julien.

[Patzky]

Correa not at bat because it is meaningless or did he hurt himself making that play?

[Western SD Fan]

To finish the thought that they said on the broadcast while giving props to Correa's defense.  They commented that the rest of the players follow his example on how to play defense and to stay focused.  I also believe they follow Correa's example on offense as he doesn't run out plays and doesn't seem to give quality at bats and it has rubbed off on the other players on the team.

That feeling when you're pinch hit for by a guy with an OPS of .288.

😬

Hope he didn't hurt himself on defense 

[Patzky]

4-2 home stand and I have a bad taste in my mouth. 

[OvertheHill]

Granted it’s a tough spot to come in for what might be a meaningless at bat, but I’m still not convinced Keirsey belongs on a ML roster.

Ah, just following on MLB Gameday.  Hope he's not hurt too, unless a break is what he needs.

Keirsey Jr is starting to remind me more of a Billy Hamilton type of player later in his career.  He's mainly a pinch runner and defensive specialist.  A nice player to have on a contending team, but a luxury on a team trying to find its footing.

[Blyleven2011]

The headline in the thread for today was , Can the twins sweep the cubs ...

no no no ...

[Aggies7]

Did it ever feel like we had a chance to win this game haha
