Twins (Bradley) vs Cubs (Boyd): 7/18/26, 1:20 pm CDT
Whammy replied to Mortimerkenny21's topic in Archived Game Threads
1:20 start? I thought it was 1:10! 😡 I hate this 10 minutes! -
Tyler did something he specifically knew would get a reaction, for no other reason than to get a reaction. My takeaway is that they both suck. But we already knew that about Duran.
-
“I did it specifically because I know he’s very sensitive about anything involving him” That’s not making Tyler look as good as he thinks it does.
-
It’s actually worse than arguing politics. They are arguing about politicians
-
She looks like if you told AI to draw a generic human female.
-
Rogers looked like he needed to take a crap on his trot in from the bullpen.
-
Glad they brought in the lefty. Improved our defense
-
Especially if it’s hot out
-
I mean, I don’t love giving up hits, but these first batter walks have happened SO much recently. Much more frustrating than a slap single.
-
Is it a rule that all Twins relief pitchers need to walk the first batter they face?
-
The indirect result of Roden’s stupid ABS challenge, is Jeffers not pulling the trigger on challenging strike 3. These batters need to understand that.
-
Had the base EASILY stolen if not for Gray’s strikeout.
-
And a legendary strut off the mound.
-
I’m glad at least one person got the reference. I was pretty happy with that one

Rhea Hurlman
-
We’re on pace for a major league record of 9 double plays turned.
-
Can we go back on the all star break please
-
Notice how I have us playing two extra games? Good stuff by me.

AQI is actually supposed to get really bad again in Chicago tomorrow evening (we play in the afternoon). Currently Sunday kind of looks like the worst of the 3 games, but smoke forecasting is pretty difficult.

MLB Insider: Twins “Look Increasingly Unlikely to Sell”
Whammy replied to Cody Christie's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Brody Hopkins seems like a reasonable ask for a guy like Jeffers (Fringe top 100 guy, putting up so so numbers at AAA). Normally I'd say TB doesn't seem like a team that would trade young controllable pitching for a rental, but there are lots of Nelson Cruz for Joe Ryan comparables here. -
# of Starters used at least 2 times by each AL team so far in 2026 5 - CLE 6 - SEA 7 - TEX 8 - A's, BOS 9 - BAL, DET, KC, NYY 10 - LAA, MIN, TOR 11 - CHW, HOU, TB Looking at guys that have started at least once tells a similar story, but doing it this way removed some openers from the analysis.
-
Only partially related... Cleveland has had the same 5 starters all year. Literally. There's not a single game started for them outside of those 5 dudes. Can you freaking imagine? What a luxury.
-
This isn't a Liriano 2006 situation where you can't live without him in your rotation. He's been as good as could reasonably hope, but his production in the rotation is replaceable for relatively cheap on the trade market. Getting him through the season feeling good is priority #1.
-
It looks like, assuming his blister issue has cleared up, he will have two more starts before the trade deadline. I'd say you use those two starts (and the team's success between now and then) to determine if you think you need to trade for a #4 starter at the deadline. It's not reasonable to expect him to be a "normal" starter through the end of the season. Picking up a mid to back end rotation piece at the deadline allows you to do what you probably SHOULD do, which is to let him start normally for his next 3-4 starts then shift him to the bullpen. Given the choice, of adding a 7th inning reliever at the deadline, or adding a 4th starter and making Prielipp a 7th inning guy for the rest of the season, I'd take the latter (I'd also add another reliever).
