Wouldn't mind the baby blues from 1982 back in some form. Saints have had some awful cool uniforms this year 

Love the baby blue and the Twin Cities cream colored uni.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

We got someone home!

Looks like they over watered behind 2B

Why, Brooks?????

Just when I was ready to advocate for DFAing Lewis.

Out of curiosity, can a batter challenge a ball call?

No foot at all

So today we're crawling? Slithering?

Or did we somehow get wings?

I mean i hear they eventually stopped Ty Cobb from stealing bases backwards, right?

 

And it is important to get the calls right.

Taj  is showing why rays  gave up on him --Headcase

[Whammy]

Taj doing his best Twins Bullpen Pitcher impression

[HarmonK03]

Bradley has to throw strikes more consistently, he is getting away with it so far but how long.

[Tlaker]

Better get someone up in the pen

[Baumer67]

Its great how the Twins pitchers love to throw strikes and make the guys need too hit to get on base 

[HarmonK03]

Maybe Bradley is the one they should trade instead of Ryan or Lopez.

[Twindy]

Bradley strategy is obviously to pitch around certain hitters. But instead of wasting all those pitches just call for an intentional walk, and pitch a little deeper in the game..😊

He may be tiring a little late in the year. Overall, his numbers look solid. I wouldn't want to lose him.

Gleeman:

Taj Bradley is the first Twins pitcher with more than 70 walks in a season since Kyle Gibson had 79 in 2018.

[Patzky]

Ouch 

[Patzky]

We get hit more than anyone it seems like

But he's had the issue of consistency all year same as with TB, he's gotten better.  But at what point do we see a breakthrough.  I was only half serious with my comment but many view him as a top end starter and I don't think he is there yet and may never get there.

Depends how you define "top end." Top 20? Probably not. Top 40? Maybe. Top 60? Yeah, probably, especially if you don't count guys on the IL.
