Just saw this. There was a temporary issue with the TD front page on Monday morning.

Well, that was certainly a baseball game. Not a *good* game, mind you, but a game.

Sweet Lou and Ol Gregg try to figure out whether the Twins are frisky or not. How many more bullpen arms will sail into the Great Beyond? Will Byron Buxton be traded regardless of all evidence to the contrary? And we play a very original segment: Type This Up.

To me, contention is being within a couple of games of a playoff spot at the end of the season. It's a pretty loose definition, but I don't really consider advancing or not. Baseball is too random to try to predict that sort of thing. Are the Twins contenders? Only in the loosest sense of the word. They're hole-ridden, and a pretty weak team overall. Still, I'd prefer to see them hang around and try to get into October baseball than not. It's more fun, even if their likelihood of going anywhere is low. Their position right now makes their complete and utter failure to address the bullpen even more unacceptable than it was when it happened.

Not taking that eminently winnable game one, and then getting absolutely demolished is 100% pure, unfiltered 2026 Minnesota Twins.

I see Jim Bowden is at it again. I mean, he's not 100% wrong on this, but he's still Jim Bowden.

Alright, so the Twins lost to a terrible pitcher yesterday. Now they get to face a good pitcher. Nice game from Zebby, though.

This is the best description of Bowden that I've heard.

Ooh, Byron's getting fiesty in his old age.

I mean, you can get *something* for Ober, for sure. But I wouldn't trade him for the return, there's way more upside in holding out in hopes he regains a 92mph form.

Who is going to trade for an 88 mph Ober? I sure wouldn't, I don't care what the results look like.

Bold move, putting Joe Ryan in the "definitely traded" category.
