Yeah...just be ready for the Dodgers on Monday...3 days in a row

You expect the Twins will be in Save situations all three days?  I admire your optimism.

No. 

That’s why I questioned Shelton on that move….

He literally hit worse every year? Not sure how that made him better those years? He's clearly better this year, but, ummm. 

Nice win. 

I don't totally agree if you look at the end of the year team stats from last year......he did much better than the majority of players who are still on the team. I am glad that they  kept him

Last year the umps screwed us out of winning the series in LA.

Jax had a hand in that too, if I remember correctly

No Bell doesn't help chances.

Would anybody have written that three weeks ago?

I live in CA and was at the game. JAX choked a bit. The crowd was extremely loud and made him nervous

[Saxophone Joe]

Ryan Kreidler is a game changer!

[Tlaker]

Only 3.5 back on Father’s Day….. never expected that!

Winnah.

That’s about when I made a post here that said even though he was a no factor as a first baseman he had been a pretty good bat in terms of RBIs. He was second on the team a couple back at that point.

You do. Shortly after that series and the Rockies series the decision to sell was made, I feel. Oh and speaking of Colorado, Willi and Edouard will be at Target Field next week too.

Jackson is looking better at throwing out runners , when he first came up he wasn't doing well in the running game ...

More playing time makes you better  ...

He’s got the tools to be excellent behind the plate and limiting the running game. He has looked better with more playing time.

Well done boys. Defense is sure changed for the better. 

It is much better with a good shortstop. I think that Shelton has to stay with Kreidler a) as long as he’s above the Mendoza Line and b) as long as Culpepper is in St. Paul.

I'm not sure what that had to do with being better than Wallner the last two years?

Nice win.

2. I'm not sure what that had to do with being better than Wallner the last two years?

1. Lot of talk about people wanting to trade Larnach during the off season.....he has been worth keeping. I always felt that he was more valuable than Wallner

2. I don't totally agree if you look at the end of the year team stats from last year......he did much better than the majority of players who are still on the team. I am glad that they  kept him

-----------------------

3. Well, your reply seems to generalize his past performance and not compare him to Wallner...thus my reply......Regarding his performance, your comment about him declining each year does not match his stats. He had the most AB's as a Twin last year and batted 250 and 259 the prior year (MLB overall player BA was 235 in 2025). The other years were much lower...My belief is that Wallner is much closer to Migual Sano regarding his future (hope not as he is a local boy)...regardless ...Larnach may be a trade target in July if he continues to perform at his current BA

The other team can not stop Ryan Kreidler, they can only hope to contain him.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Paredes did a nice job once he stopped walking guys. He has a nice mix of pitches. If he could find his command, he's a solid depth piece.

I like this team...20 hits on Saturday and on Sunday they start out like a typical "phone-it-in-get-away-day" loss (with Buxton waving at junk in the left-handed batter's box his first couple of at bats) only to catch fire later on and take the series. Maybe LA pours cold water on the fire, but man, it's been fun of late.
