So, how are the Twins going to lose tonight? Comically, or devastatingly?

We know we've truly hit rock bottom when a new Bauer thread is started.

Yeah, okay, whatever.

The thing about baseball is that it just keeps happening.

It's fine to lose to a good team like the Brewers. It's not okay to be outplayed by magnitudes in every possible way.

Going into the season, there were serious questions about whether Miz could start. He was a quick pull in games, ran up pitch counts, and walked too many. While his stuff was nasty, he wasn't putting guys away in a timely fashion. About six weeks ago, a switch flipped. While he isn't a control master by any means, he's no longer killing his outings with command.

Told you all Misiorowski is nasty. Today, the Twins get a normal pitcher to face, hopefully they can not embarrass themselves out there again.

I wonder if Misiorowski will come back out. Probably, knowing Murphy. But I might sub him, as you can all see he’s going to be very important to the Brewers down the stretch.

So Topa is just going to suck the air out of the room, I see.

It’s more fun, sometimes. But Brewers fans get sick and tired of it when it’s not working.

The Twins haven’t had a prospect even close to Chourio since Buxton.

Cowering like a child is the correct decision in that situation.

Good thing I decided not to head to this game, sites went down!

Right now, what would you say is the most pressing issue with the Twins?

Just wait until you see his stuff. It's filthy.

We're in for a real treat with this pitching matchup. Misiorowski's stuff is unbelievable.

Fair enough.

On this website? By my count, approximately 40% of this country is absolutely terrified of science.

Out of curiosity, what makes you think Rocco chooses his roster?

While my children have not died in a foreign war, they are Black Americans. So I appreciate the nod from Trueblood, even if you do not.

Image courtesy of © Jesse Johnson-Imagn Images Every offseason, we offer our You’re The GM! tool (formerly the Payroll Blueprint) to build your ideal Twins roster. This year, we’ve updated the tool to include the trade deadline! The idea behind this feature is to give fans a chance to play the role of General Manager (or CBO or PoBO… you get the idea) for their favorite team, the Minnesota Twins. It’s meant to allow fans to discuss (and, let’s be honest, argue) how they would approach the MLB trade deadline on July 31st. This tool is intended to be informal and fun, so we’ve left it as open as possible. There is a payroll “budget” that loosely resembles the Twins' 2025 payroll, but there is no penalty for going over that number. It’s a guideline, nothing more. Second, you can submit as many blueprints as you like up through the deadline. As the deadline landscape changes, users can return and create a new blueprint. Before we delve into the breakdown of the tool, you can save your blueprint and return to it at any time. The only restriction is that you must register an account on the site to create a blueprint (so we can save a draft for you and also post the blueprint for others to discuss). Let’s get into the tool itself. It has four quadrants that work best if addressed in a counter-clockwise order (this tool works much better on desktops and large tablets due to its complexity, but will work on phones if need be). Top Left: The 26-Man Roster We have created a rough guideline for what the Twins' 26-man roster will look like in late July, assuming no trades are made. The roster is flexible; any player can be added or removed as needed. We’ve also included player salaries. This section is where you build your roster and make changes based on the following two sections. As you make changes to players and salaries, the total payroll number (right side of the screen) will change, allowing you to track your budget on the fly. The bottom field in both columns is for any dead money you assume during the course of wheeling and dealing. Acquiring dead money should be rather uncommon, but we want to present users with the opportunity to take on dead salary if it suits their purposes. Bottom Left: Top Prospects & Internal Options If you decide to be a buyer, we’ve listed the team’s top 20 prospects you can use in trade. We’ve also included some internal options that could be traded or fill in your 26-man roster; most of these players are on the 40-man roster but are no longer considered prospects due to performance or losing prospect status. We’ve also included links in this section: one to our top prospects list, another for building trades on Baseball Trade Values. While BTV is far from a perfect solution for building trades, it can guide you in properly valuing a prospect within an organization. Bottom Right: Trade Deadline Options The Athletic has released their big board of trade candidates; it’s a top-30 list of MLB players who have a decent chance of being traded this July. We’ve listed them in order of position, along with their contract earnings in 2025. If you’re looking to research prospects in another team’s system, we’ve also included a link to an article that contains links to MLB Pipeline’s top-30 prospect rankings for all 30 MLB teams. Top Right: Dead Money, Your Total Payroll, & Commentary The only unalterable field on the page is Dead Money; it is players to whom the team has committed money but has no reasonable way to get out of the contract. Below that, you will see the recommended budget, your current total, and the percentage you are over or under that budget. Again, keep in mind that the budget is only a guideline, and you can exceed it as much as you like… But defend your choices, coward! The following field is 'Title', which gives other users an idea of what to expect from your blueprint (e.g., ‘Trade For Alex Bregman, Damn the Consequences'). When your blueprint posts for other users, it will read, “Your Username’s 2025 Trade Deadline Blueprint: Trade For Alex Bregman, Damn the Consequences.” The following field is Your Comments & Explanation, a long-form field meant to type out the rationale behind your decisions. Here is the place to fully explain your trades (including which players are leaving the team to bring in new players), why you traded for specific players, and any promotions from the minors you advocate. This is often multiple paragraphs; you can write up as much detail as you desire. That’s it, you’re done! At this point, you can either publish your blueprint to the forums or save it for later if you feel it’s incomplete. Thank you for joining us at Twins Daily. I hope you enjoy playing the role of general manager, at least for a moment! Start Your Trade Deadline Blueprint View full article

It's beyond depressing to know that people think this kind of behavior is okay.

The Twins are maximizing efficiency. They didn't even need nine innings to lose last night.

We had a great turnout again, thank you!
