    There was no 2024 Twins MVP.

    Celestino ... there's a name I'd completely forgotten about. What's he up to lately?

    Hopefully a few of these guys learn the importance of protecting the plate with two strikes this offseason. Watching Astros hitters spoil good pitches by fouling them off while Twins hitters never take the bat off their shoulders as strike three sails by was infuriating.

    Pulling Berrios was a tactless front office strategy where they were trying to play 3d chess by goading Rocco into emptying the bench in the 4th. You could almost tell by Schneider's body language that he didn't want to do it, but that was the plan set out days before the game was even played.

    The Bomba Squad flew too close to the sun in 2019 and they've been trying to jam square pegs into round holes in an attempt to replicate those results ever since.

    Pinch hitting Velazquez in the 9th was terrible particularly since it could have been avoided by not pinch hitting Solano for Kirilloff in the 5th(!) inning. Rocco knew more RHPs would be pitching later in the game and did it anyway. If this was a dress rehearsal for playoff games a few weeks from now, then ... yikes.

    The obvious silver lining here is the Twins will not be facing any of these flummoxing AL Central juggernauts in October.

    Something tells me chatter of Donaldson's clubhouse toxicity during his time in Minnesota never sees the light of day if he bangs 40ish homers and puts up a ~.950 OPS like he did in 2015-2016 for Toronto.

    They seem to be more focused on the ineptitude of the AL central as their key to success rather than actively improving the roster at this point.

    The only thing I'll add is that meniscal tears in young athletes are of course very common, but they're completely different than the "bone-on-bone" arthritis and knee replacement references people are making. Also, tendinitis can be a chronic issue.

    It's been reported in the past he's dealing with patellar tendinitis. There are a multitude of other knee conditions outside of cartilage tears and ligament injuries. That's not to say he might be dealing with something else in addition to his tendinitis, but a 29 year old athlete is highly unlikely to be so arthritic that his meniscus is completely gone. https://www.minnesotasportsfan.com/offseason-knee-surgery-on-the-table-for-byron-buxton-knee-patellar-tendonitis/ https://www.startribune.com/byron-buxtons-knee-surgery-is-a-long-time-coming/600209988/

    The Twins went 8-2 in the first ten games post-All Star break and then lose 5 of the last 6 because of course they did. Looking ahead at their schedule, there's a stretch of games at the end of August where they play Texas and Cleveland a total of 13 games. That has potential to get real ugly, real fast for the hometown heroes' postseason aspirations.

    Don't jinx him, Ted.
