We need to be scouring the waiver wire for a washed up vet to see if they can give us a spark.

Jorge Soler. Nobody liked that yesterday. Maybe today

Cameron is at about 90 pitches...time to do something

No way they pull him tonight after what happened last time

Both Houston and Culpepper are playing the majority of games in 2027 in MLB? That would be wild for the Twins. 

Yes.  I think with how Houston is playing he has an outside chance at being the starting SS to start the season if not if he has a strong performance  in AAA up by June if no lockout.

Don't see him pitching 2 more innings

I would put that as close to 0 as possible. Houston is gonna get some run time in AAA. But…

If Houston hits like he has been when he gets to AAA, he may force his way onto the team early next year.

We batter hope we don't see him pitching two more innings.

Carrying three catchers… Two of whom are light hitting is so dumb right now. Having Alex Jackson play first base is dumb right now. Why not give Sabato a chance to play first base against lefties?

[Rodney29]

Really pathetic at bats tonight by our Twins.

From your lips to the baseball gods’ ears. Both of them are awesome in that case.

Lee’ body language is so depressing these days. No spark at all. And the super slow walks back to the dugout. He needs some Red Bull or something. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Still in this game.

That aged poorly.

But we are still in it.

[Vanimal46]

Whelp. What are ya gonna do. 1 run wasn’t gonna cut it tonight anyway. 

[jkcarew]

Sam Dyson?

[The Great Hambino]

Woof

 

[MMMordabito]

Deadline additions appear to be right in line with the inconsistency.

Call Dad. Collect.

[Patzky]

A shame we couldn't make that one run hold up.

[Saxophone Joe]

Would’ve been nice to have a challenge left on that 1-0 missed call before the homer…

At least Kremer was a pleasant surprise.

What if that happens in 2026 once Culpepper is promoted?

I want to see Culpepper the everyday SS for a while in 2026. The other pieces of the puzzle depend on if it’s a September callup, a DFA (such as going down to 2 catchers) or injury. If I had my druthers Kreidler would be on the bench and Lee play third (in 2026)

edit: reading back through the thread. Agreed, Houston isn’t coming up in 2026. Soonest 2half 2027. That would be an awesome problem to have. Step 1, stop carrying 3 catchers. Step 2, Houston if Houston gets to the bigs that fast it’s because he’s THE shortstop. Play him there and give KC run at 3b

Headline would of been  Twins win on Bells  baserunning ,   

[The Great Hambino]

Yeah you're gonna leg it out Trevor!

[Patzky]

Maybe should have PH Jackson for Larnach. 

[puckett_34]

6 hits in 21 IP vs Cameron. Talk about Woof!
