    Not an encouraging update on Mahle. Other than the fact that he's now on the 60-day IL, does this mean that the "hope" is that rest will do the trick, or is this only the first phase of an extended absence, indicating a more serious injury that may require surgery?

    Very interesting article and analysis. Ober has obviously been a bright spot in the brief time he's been up this year. But this one thing that stood out for me in this article was this: Bailey Ober has pitched professionally since 2017 and has only once eclipsed the 100-inning mark in a season. Obviously, the hope is that if he's healthy he will exceed that number of innings this year. Right now, he's looking great.

    I don't know much about Pierson Ohl, but as you noted he seems to have a good idea on how to pitch. I mean, look at that line: 6.0 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 9 K I'd like to see more starters put up numbers like that!

    "the Manfred Man" This is another new term that I think is brilliant!

    Astudillo-like I love that phrase!

    Yeah, Miranda needs to pick it up soon. If not, maybe we make room for Lee.

    I'd opt for sending Larnach down for a spell and bringing up Kiriloff ... until the real next injury makes yet another move necessary.

    As always, thanks for these minor league reports. Very much appreciated! I particularly like following Ft. Myers, being an old fan of the Florida State League. I used to live in Orlando and followed the Orlando Twins when they were in the FSL, and later when they were "elevated" to become a AA club. Those were the Gardenhire/Knoblauch years! Going back even further, my grandfather was one of the early presidents of the FSL. Great memories of some cool teams back in the 1960s, 70s and 80s.

    Good article, Thanks for that. I've always been intrigued by Jax and his potential, especially now that he's firmly in the bullpen. He seems like a very bright young man who has worked hard to maximize his talent. Hope he can take it to the next level.

    Hey, maybe Miami can pick up Gary Sanchez too! Go ahead and give them all of our old castoffs, and why not Miguel Sano too? On the good side of things for Miami, our old pal Arreaz is still batting over .400.

    Does this mean that Balozovic is now a starter again? And DeLeon is now a bullpen piece? Not sure what is going on, but if these guys are pitching effective innings, keep shuffling.

    At this point I only hope Maeda just needs rest and can come back in a few more weeks, healthy and motivated, and throw some effective innings, whether that's as a starter or even in the bullpen. Seems like health will be an issue with several of our starters this year, so a few more roster moves are likely. I like Maeda and think he's a classy player, so I really hope we see more of him this year.

    I love love love Taylor's bunting prowess. More of that please! I also love Matt's description of the bunt: ...turning the game from a battle between professionals into childish chaos, as fielders dash to a base in order to do something without realizing their actions compromised the play.

    I think the decline of western civilization occurred around the time that "party" turned from a noun into a verb. I still get painful cramps as a result.

    ... and the aforementioned wild pitch, channeling a little Sam Deduno magic to avoid giving up any significant damage. Man, that was a VERY wild pitch! Jeffers had almost no chance to keep that one from getting away. But your mention of Sam Deduno made me smile! I always thought he could have been a keeper ... if he had more control!

    I think the biggest "obstacle" for Nick this year is the lack of playing time in center field, which of course is due to the presence of Taylor. Gordon seemed comfortable in center, but I think a lot less so at second base, where he is getting more of the playing time this year. I'm also a fan of Gordon and I think he will shine will regular playing time at a single position, but it's looking that will be less likely with the current Twins roster, plus players like Farmer, Lewis, and Kiriloff coming back from the IL. As others have said, Gordon is becoming more of the odd man out on the Twins this year. I could see him becoming a fan favorite in Oakland.

    Yes, Cano has looked great so far this year. But as someone else posted earlier in the week, he turns 29 this year, so he's not the hot young prospect I had assumed he was at the time of the trade. Nevertheless, I'm sure the Orioles are happy to have him in their bullpen.

    Not so sure about dumping Stewart just yet. He looked good in his first game back up, so I'd like to see him stay on the team for a while and see how much he can contribute. And if they DID DFA him, I wouldn't be shocked to see another team claim him.
  19. Doctor Wu
    Amazing early run for Rooker. Sure, plenty of homers, but his OBP is impressive too. His performance is a rare ray of light for Oakland this year.

    I love watching Buxton play, but I have to admit that I hate seeing batters doing those bat flips. Hey, call me a Scrooge, but I'm old school and don't see the need for that sort of stuff.
  21. Doctor Wu
    The first takeaway in Melissa's article: The Twins won a series vs. the Yankees! And really, the Twins looked like the better team I think that's a huge observation. In both this series, and in the last one that we split (I think that's correct) the Twins looked more confident and less overwhelmed by the specter of the "mighty Yankees." I really hope this year is a turning point in ridding ourselves of the Yankee curse!
  22. Doctor Wu
    We are getting spoiled this week with our starters going 7 innings in back to back games and the Twins winning each time. Hopefully, this becomes the new norm!
  23. Doctor Wu
    As reclamation projects go, Brock Stewart is an intriguing one. Great story about how he has come back from injury and making it back to the majors several years later. And I love his recent K to BB ratio. Go get 'em Brock!
  24. Doctor Wu
    I still think that Martin has a future as a steady, but perhaps not stellar, MLB player. I was also encouraged by his performance in the Arizona Fall League, and hope that it's indicative of his making progress and gaining confidence. Any updates on his status for playing this year?
  25. Doctor Wu
    I'm still puzzled why Woods-Richardson was even called up to begin with. Did we really have that much of a need for a guy to come in and throw 90-plus pitches as a long reliever?
