Ober looks to be in command so far.

Excellent!

(answers my perennial question "what i mss?")

 

But remember. Perfectly symmetric violence never solved anything.

 

Thanks, Julien for breaking the symmetry!

[Sutter50]

Eddie,  very nice 

[stringer bell]

Edouard Julien goes deep vs. Skubal, as expected.

Kegle exercises will help later in life.

Julien! As expected from the 9 hole 

[karcherd]

Good job Eddie!

Shut me up, Frenchie.

Satisfied?

The first LH hitter to take Skubal deep this year is...

Eddie Julien 

Ain't baseball great.

[Vanimal46]

Can anyone fill me in on what made Roden a coveted trade target for Varland? I’m at a loss.

So noted. Who does he pitch for?

Austin Martin has now matched the number of doubles as Brooks Lee since July 1 in about 20 less games

Falvey felt the need for more left handed hitting corner outfielders.

[Patzky]

Really a strike? Hmmm

Concur!

 

Leastwise on the greatness of baseball. If not for baseball, i'd be bustin' me brain tryin' to figure out what taking Skubal deep is a euphemism for.

It seems like the ideal outcome for him is Trevor Larnach… a slightly above average hitter with marginal power 

[Twindy]

Special K again!

[SS MagicMark]

Turning this guy into Skubie Snax.

[Patzky]

How is this happening..

[Patzky]

Running even!

Good thing he doesn't appear to be ruined

[sampleSizeOfOne]

How are we driving RISP in?

Which zone of twilight is this?

According to Provus, the Twins like his defense and speed (maybe compared to Larnach and Wallner) so if he could be about Larnach's equal as a hitter, but a better overall player.

He's really loving hitting at home.

Presumably, he'll be okay at playing baseball, eventually.

[Vanimal46]

Here’s a brilliant idea for the Pohlads to repair the relationship with fans. If seats immediately behind home plate are empty, and I’m counting at least 15 seats in camera view empty, upgrade someone to go sit there! Make it look fun to be there!

Larnach is arb eligible next year.
