  1. We’ve seen their left tackle and their right tackle…who will they throw at us in the 3rd?
  2. 0-4 RiSP after one inning. There’s something you don’t see every day. Even Twins fans.
  3. Kody has a chance to be the best Funderburk to ever have played for the Twins.
  4. Got a little Puckett in him in that he ain’t up there to walk or to wait and hope that the perfect pitch comes along when there are runners in scoring position. He’s hacking!
  5. Much bigger bang for the buck than free agency.
  6. There’s only about a 20% chance that the best team in baseball would beat the worse team in baseball 6 games in a row. The Twins aren’t the best nor is Cleveland the worse. And as far as the division title goes, 3-3 will absolutely get it done for the Twins.
  7. Martin, yes. But I’m with TwinkieFan…DaShawn Keirsey needs more love. Higher OPS at St Paul than Martin. Unfortunately for Keirsey, left-handed outfield bats don’t seem to be a need anytime soon. It is worth noting that OPS’s in that league are very inflated. A list of players with higher OPS (some much higher) than Marin and Keirsey at St Paul this year includes…Prato, Stevenson, Julien, Wallner…Chris Williams’s is on par, as well. If you include very small sample guys like Helman and Farmer, etc, then Martin/Keirsey are well down the list. Still, what seems so enticing about Martin…besides the right-handedness: the defensive flexibility, the relatively low K’s…the relatively high BB’s, and the baserunning. Keirsey checks all those boxes except he’s only played outfield, and he’s a left-handed hitter.
  8. Agree…hopefully the opportunity presents itself. He’s very valuable even when he isn’t hitting. And rest might give the bat a boost as well. I really appreciate his ability and willingness to go out there and try to do his job (nearly) every day. That should be something easy for Twins fans to appreciate.
  9. Much ado about nothing. Jeffers knew why he was plunked…and if someone sticks a microphone in front of Garvey and asks him about it, he’s not going to say his current teammate was out of line…he’s going to back his teammates. Moving on.
  10. 31 games remaining, 9 of which will be against teams over 500. The Twins can’t lose the division this coming week. But they could win it, for all intents and purposes.
  11. And he could probably go tomorrow...lest they're worried he loses some velocity 😀
  12. Technically, zero runs over 9 innings.
  13. All's well that ends well. Boy, these teams play crazy games!
  14. Our next reliever could give up 8 runs, and you'd still have to say the bullpen went above and beyond today. Come on!...let's get Floro a W.
  15. How many times can you be handed a game, not take it...and still win? One more time, I hope.
  16. Strike 3...no, wait!
  17. Pagan did his job...not let the offense do theirs.
  18. Rocco with a bit of a come back! Thielbar not the obvious choice…but it works like a charm.
  19. Well. Keuchel deserves a W after all that.
  20. This is satire, right? We can always hope for a torn ligament or two in the wrists as well, giving the Twins an even better chance. Best possible outcome: he can’t pitch or swing a bat, and Twins snipe him at $300M over 10 years to greet people at the turnstiles.
  21. I haven’t been a robo ump guy. Over the long run, the bad calls even out. But, man…a couple of recent games, including last night…at some point it’s embarrassing for the league and game.
  22. Might lean Carew…But Killebrew would have more spots in the top 10 all-time Twins seasons than would Carew. Killebrew was hands-down the best offensive player in Twins history…even though he had at least one elite season before he even came to Minnesota. Killebrew’s 1961 season get overlooked, as well.
  23. It started with strike 3 to Correa...then it was strike 2 to Gallo (absolutely egregious). I have no problem with the ejections...and I have no problem with Sonny's response. If they FINISH this game, it's the kind of thing that can get the guys going. ...and Correa has a cannon.
  24. Eddie has three-true-outcome written all over him.
