  1. Needs approval from Jeffers; former keeper of the sausage
  2. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised by a tie, maybe even multi team tie, for that 3rd spot. And don't the Twins have a winning record (I think) vs most of their fellow pretenders...oops! contenders?
  3. Well, maybe. But hindsight's 20/20. To be clear, I do not think the Twins are a very good team. Every time I see the "how many games do you think the Twins will win this year" question, I go with 76-80. Even when they've hit the rarefied air of a .500 record. As a fan, though, I'm not necessarily logical. I did not want them to sell.
  4. I don't know. Sure, he's relatively young. I think the problem though , is his talent rather than his age.
  5. If the Tigers can dump Skubal and Mize, and turn into a juggernaut...then sure, why not🙂
  6. Yes, I 'd prefer Pohlad hadn't said that. Oh, well. If you listen to broadcasters from different cities on both sides of a trade, rationalization and different spin on the same player runs rampant. As you can imagine, here in Toronto Jeff Hoffman is a lightning rod for controversy. Let's hope he becomes the Twins next Louis Varland. (tongue firmly implanted in cheek) Want to mention, I did not particularly want Arraez back. The Twins need all the defense they can get. How much can his fielding have improved all of a sudden after all these years? I'm a bit skeptical. That said, an offensive spark can't happen soon enough. Last night was sad. I think maybe they were trying a little too hard. The Royals are loose, and they have the big guy back. Let's see what happens tonight.
  7. Additionally, although many think that not trading key contributors is foolish (Jeffers, Larnach, etc) it's also symbolic of a proactive approach. As for offensive reinforcement, it seems like a no brainer Jenkins will be called up shortly.
  8. For all I know, Dean Kremer will be a complete washout. But he 's a starting pitcher, and I believe that the move was better than no move at all. Time will tell.
  9. Tempers expectations, I guess . But there could be a domino effect. You never know. The Twins do need starting pitching depth, You have to wonder about Ryan. Maybe the plan is to reduce his workload for a period of time. Kremer has been injured, and horrendous this year when active. But he has a track record.. Worth a shot, and I do sense that there's more to come.
  10. I'm in the eastern time zone, and replayed the game in its entirety this morning. You could feel the momentum swing as the game wore on.. The team appears to be in a really good space right now. Dramatic walk offs, and acquisitions with perhaps more to come can do that , I guess.. Keep it going, guys!
  11. I'd never even heard of an ultimate grand slam. But ultimately, it was a lot of fun learning about it. So we've done 49-49, 54-54, 55-55 time to break on through to the other side.
  12. I don't disagree. Who knows, maybe they're going to bring him up after the deadline, for reasons we don't know about. Smoke might clear within a week.
