I am sure there are some other teams that have noticed the value received in trades and how quickly the bullpen was rebuilt primarily through minor trades (1 medium one) and working through dfa candidates and converted starters.  Even with early season woes this may end up a top 20 bullpen on overall stats and potentially a top 10 in overall effectiveness by the end of the year. 

Do I dare mention it...maybe give the FO and management just a bit of credit..

Who gives AF?

2 outs. Base hit to the OF.

He HAS to score or get thrown out. Piss poor baseball.

Agreed, Chief. Was confused when I saw him hold up at third. Once contact is made, two outs, put your head down and run.

When managed properly C4 is perfectly safe. 

 

I cooked many a C-ration over a chunk of C-4.

I think @HarmonK03 should change his name to -thumbs down guy 2. No offense to @Thumbs Down Guy

Twins need to light up the rook pitcher Tomm,  -- shut up the  arrogance the braves showed by moving Chris Sale back --   Philly fans r loving it------

ALL Killebrew Twins Daily fans take note. "No matter what, I have always been an optimistic person" actual quote from Harmon....so stay positive...

I got busy in the top of the 6th. I wanted to watch what happened later and saw Fundy carve up the RH pinch hitter, a very key play in the game. It seems weird that the bullpen is really a strength now.

Twins' fans at least are hospitable :)   https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/2026/08/18/cubs-sox-wrigley-field-fight

Like the man said, enjoy the season! 

I think it was more so tonight with Buxton pinch hitting for Larnach they moved him to CF and Luke to right field. Roden is ok defensively, but his isn't hitting well right now. Clemens has a better throwing arm in left field than both Keaschall and Roden. You want a better arm in left in Target Field than right field.
