  1. Taylor Rogers is the ‘closer.’ It’s not over yet.
  2. Or, you could call it a triple. I’m sure Kody would prefer that
  3. That’s at least the 6th unscored error on Cleveland this game.
  4. I never noticed Ron Jeremy’s mustache before
  5. Having players like Kreidler, Martin, and Clemens unexpectedly click offensively is what makes this game interesting and fun to watch. Maybe they are just streaks, but we can have them while they last, then maybe someone else can get hot if they start to crack. Hopefully the bullpen can get streaky in an unexpected good way too. it is nice to see them willing to send down Wallner and Lewis and add new blood to the hot players instead. I'm really curious to see where the twins stand after the next several series against mostly bad teams. If they can pull it together then anything can happen. This could be the year a sub 500 team makes it to the playoffs. I’m under no pretenses…. This team is pretty bad, but so are most of the other teams as well. It’s actually unexpectedly interesting baseball this far in.
  6. Well Lee and Lewis finally made a great defensive play. Hopefully there are more to come that aren’t botched by insecure umpires.
  7. And since when are umps allowed to change their minds after making a call?
  8. On reply he clearly had base to slide into. Plus if it is an unreviewable call, why did the ump change his mind after review with the other umps? I miss baseball from the 80s. This is just crap.
  9. I can probably throw the ball all the way to the catcher from the pitchers mound. For $500,000 I’ll be the new closer.
  10. Well they tried their best, but they still emerged victorious.
  11. Don’t see why Culpepper or any of the other Saints ringers should be any different. The problem seems to be in player development, more so than in the players. Buxton has been the only prospect since Buxton to make it work in the majors.
  12. Pagán. There. Fixed it. A gimmick would be helpful to make the games more interesting though.
  13. The second year I’m thinking of Pagan had an ERA just south of 3, but it was closer to 6 at the all star break. Yes to ERAs, but they might go up with horrible defense behind the pitchers.
  14. This bullpen reminds me of a few years back when Emilio Pagan seemed to sour the entire 2023-4 bullpen. Seemed that everytime he pitched he blew a lead or walked 3 batters in a row. This year the bullpen is made up of all Pagans. Even if he has a good outing once in ahwile, his replacement is another Pagan. Let's hope the offence is somehow really really good this year.
  15. Well at least they won’t blow leads they don’t have.
  16. Oh wow this is depressing. Can we not bring any of them up north this year? Hopefully Brooks Lee plays better than the backup options this year.
  17. Can’t wait for Brooks Lee and Royce Lewis to battle it out for AL MVP. Gotta have something to be overly optimistic about during spring training.
  18. Tommy Watkins. He'll be universally hated and surprisingly good. And he'll take the fall next year for failing to lead a bunch of terrible players that would be lucky to beat an AA team to the playoffs.
  19. Congrats Rocco. You’re free. I predict he is hired by the Rockies and leads them into the playoffs next year.
  20. I'd normally stop after Julien, but I'd imagine that if the Twins system could produce decent players among those five than at least one or two of the others (Kiersey, Gasper, McCusker, etc.) would also have a decent chance at becoming a good player in the majors.
  21. Find out whatever it is that is causing talent to plateau at the AAA level and change that. No amount of next big things can come up if they just flop after a few weeks at MLB. This team would have looked much better if Julien Miranda, Larnach, Martin, Lewis, Kiersey Jr, Gasper, McCusker, (which others?) would have kept progressing instead of falling flat. Something there looks really really not right.
  22. Watching this game in person and I can say this much… while they have the same problems with risp, at least they are getting into scoring position a lot, so that is an improvement.
