Twins (Matthews) vs Tigers (Paddack): 8/5/25, 5:40pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

[The Great Hambino]

Hopefully Paddack is too bloated from the Tigers' superior pregame spread to pitch well tonight

[Possumlad]

Any official word yet on whether Keaschall is back w/ the big club tonight?

Let’s win this one for all of the kitchen staff and nutritionists that Paddack has been badmouthing.

MLB reports he has joined the club in Detroit

[mnfireman]

Per FanGraphs; Keaschall activated, Kiersey Jr. and Davis optioned. Looks like we're stuck with Julien despite what our eyes are telling us...

Twins' all-time record for pitchers used in a season is 39 in 2022.

They've used 30 so far this season, with 50 games left.

This is alarming in that it's the exact lineup I concocted in my head this morning. I've been Baldelli'd.

I did not know that!

According to this 2020 interview, Paddack ate Domino's.

The Tigers share their owner with Little Caesar's.

I'd prefer Julien DH over Jeffers. We know what we have in Jeffers.....(I'm not overly confident in Julien, but he needs to bat against every RHP, at DH).

Time to put Juliens glove in mothballs. Supposedly at the end of 2023 Rocco told him he could improve as a fielder if he worked very hard at it. No results yet. I guess he just isn't going to be a good fielder.

Julien should be in lineup everyday against RHP.

I truly don't understand the plan here at all. There is zero reason for Jeffers to DH at this point. Seriously. This season is over. They've punted it. Act that way fgs.
