Games like that happen and that's fine when you lose them. But it shines an even harsher light on handing away wins like they did last night. -
Julio Rodriguez is really, really good at baseball.

Darren Wolfson tweeted that the Twins have spoken with the Nationals and that Washington has been scouting AAA St Paul. The Nationals are not only obvious sellers but they have enticing trade targets for the Twins. Washington has the typical stable of decent right-handed relievers that sellers have ready to trade at every deadline but more interestingly, they have Lane Thomas, an arbitration-eligible right-handed outfielder. Thomas will not be eligible for free agency until after the 2025 season so his price will be considerably more than another rental target like Hunter Renfroe, Teoscar Hernandez, or Andrew McCutchen. Thomas is paid only $2.2 million this season and is having a something of a breakout, posting a 130 OPS+. More ideally, his 1.016 OPS against left-handed pitching is exactly what this Twins lineup needs right now. View full rumor

The Padres' 2023 season has been an immense disappointment, rivaling only that of the New York Mets. They had aspirations to finally win the National League West but, despite their positive run differential, sit in fourth place, ten games back of the division lead. So it makes sense to sell, right? Especially their duo of left-handed pitchers with expiring contracts. Right? Nope. While Blake Snell doesn't fit that well with the Twins needs over the next two months, Josh Hader would be the best possible addition to a bullpen that is lacking in quality depth. Hader would immediately slot into a dual-closer role with Jhoan Duran, pushing every else up an inning. It would be one of the key pieces the Twins need to go from mediocre to good down the stretch.

Nah, it's because I booked three tickets to take the kids - who are in summer school but I could take them out if I really wanted to - and because it's the middle of trade deadline season. I went to the game on Monday, my Twins bucket is full for the time being and I really should be working.

I have three standing room tickets to the game, first person who PMs me gets them for free.

In Defense of Emilio Pagan
Brock Beauchamp replied to NeverSeenATwinsPlayoffWin's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Yep, and Pagan yet again shows the lack of bullpen depth. Emilio simply is not a pitcher I want to bring into a game with runners on base. He seems to do mostly okay with clean innings but almost always finds a way to be disastrous if runners are on the bases. Moran did the inexcusable: walked not only one but multiple batters while recording no outs. Yes, Pagan could have been better but he's a homer-prone reliever who came into a situation where a home run would be disastrous. -
Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com has reported that Derek Falvey mentioned the Twins have received calls on their glut of left-handed outfielders. It's not terribly surprising, as the Twins have more lefties than they can possibly use while other teams are looking to shore up that side of the plate, either with a full-time or part-time bench player. Among the Twins corner left-handers are Max Kepler, Joey Gallo, Alex Kirilloff, Trevor Larnach, and Matt Wallner. That's not even including another bat currently on the 60-day injured list, Nick Gordon. View full rumor

Rumor: Andrew McCutchen May Not Be On Trade Market
Brock Beauchamp replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Yeah, hard to get too upset about this but the Twins sure could use him on the roster. -
This has been an interesting question to pose over the past month as the Pittsburgh Pirates - who started the season strong but then stumbled badly - approached the trade deadline: what are they going to do with veteran outfielder and feel-good story Andrew McCutchen? It was reported that during last offseason, McCutchen turned down an equal offer from the Twins and a superior offer from the New York Mets to return to PIttsburgh, the city he became a star player an won an MVP award. The 36-year-old is having a revival season with the Pirates, posting a 117 OPS+ and fills the exact need the Twins have on the roster right now: a capable corner player who hits right-handed and is strongest against left-handed pitching. But it appears McCutchen may not be available at all. View full rumor

I’m not sure he would have gotten the runner anyway. I think part of the reason he missed it is because he was trying to unload so quickly.
-
Kirilloff should not have gone to second on that play anyway so the bobble doesn’t matter.
-
Hit the top of the padding but below the… planter? Mini fence? Barely missed.
-
Oh no they’ve infected Edouard with the bases loaded disease
-
I just noticed that the lineup today is a righty, then four lefties, then four righties. That’s… weird.
-
Correa with a .750 xBA on that ball.
-
LOLOLOLOLOL This is fun
-
I’d like to take this moment to state that it’s really fun to watch the White Sox get the **** beat out of them.
-
So I see we’ve entered Byron’s “8 HR in 10 days” streak he wedges between 3-37 stretches.
-
You mean the guy who managed like five years of 90 loss teams under a front office that also didn’t like analytics?
