We out hit CWS but came up short. How disappointing
-
Why did they have Santana so high in the order, he can't hit RHPs?
-
Another impressive outing for Sands
-
Twins sucker for the high FB. At least we got one back
-
There's my man Wallner! Keep it going!
-
Ober petered out! No offense Peter
-
When you have the guy on the ropes you finish him up
-
Good AB from Wallner
-
We are getting a great performance from Ober
-
Yeah, we need have better ABs to accumulate Fedde's pitch count
-
Great job Miranda!
-
You can't let these guys off the hook.
-
All that for nothing! Crap! You gotta do better than that from your production positions
-
Great hit & run! I was expecting that with Castro & Correa
-
At least Margot isn't leading off.
-
Festa is the 26th man. I was hoping for Varland, because we might need long relief help in an emergency.
-
Let's try again. I get to follow 2 games today. Go Twins!

. What impresses me the most about Jenkins right now is his plate discipline. It's a good foundation to work from. Jenkins should not be rushed. He needs to dominate on each level before he's promoted. It's better for Jenkins & there's no absolute need for him so take it slow.

Of course, Royce is our ace in the hole. I expect Steward to come back as good as ever like before. If Topa comes back he should be used in lower-leverage until he proves he can handle higher-leverage. But like Pagan, Jorge Lopez & Colume', this FO will put him in the spotlight which never works out. Varland's problem is his secondary stuff, his primary stuff has never been in doubt by me. So his stuff will most certainly work at least 1X through the order. Both Martin & Kiriloff probably won't make the roster when they heal up, which is a crying shame. Martin & Kiriloff's problems were due to minor injuries, not mechanics, They need the playing time & the Twins need them on the field. This is very much a seller's market, it'd be prudent to trade any veterans on expiring contracts (NYY & HOU need a 1Bman, PHIL & LAD need a OFer) & make room for our superior younger players who'll make up our future. Besides it'll free up money to be better used elsewhere. We can get to the dance (bar any major injury to our catching & top rotation core) with what we have got but to advance IMO we need a set-up LHRP & a top-tier potential SP. I'd trade Gonzales as a primary trade piece because he's peaked in trade value & will trend down from now on & he has no path to MLB with us.

I'm willing to trade away Gonzales who IMO has topped out as far as trade value & will be trending downhill & he has no path to our MLB team. He should bring someone interesting, All these bring some risk & a steep price tag. I really don't think we need a RHRP even if it's a Robertson or a Yates. Eovaldi & Scherzer's post-season experience is tempting. I think Scherzer has a no-trade clause that I believe he'll use against any MN offers.

We can't be over-confident against CWS, Fedde is a good pitcher especially while pitching for CWS. We have Margot in CF in place of Buck against a RHSP. It wasn't that easy last night with a full crew & an easier SP.

Minnesota Could Save a Blue Jays Starter
Doctor Gast replied to Ted Schwerzler 's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Kikuchi is a good SP but IMO if we are going for a SP he needs to be top tier otherwise bring up Varland to help support the pitching in long relief/ spot start. Varland still hasn't established his secondary pitches but he still has great stuff to fit in this role. Varland would be a lifesaver to keep the BP & rotation fresh. Especially Festa, Paddack & sometimes SWR, Thielbar has shown some improvement but I still wouldn't trust any of our LHRPs in a high-leverage situation where picking up a better LHRP would be prudent. -
CWS have been our best friend, giving us wins & gain wins against our nemesis (they have a much better record against CLE). A nice game for Paddack to get back in the saddle. Twins battled & won & gain a game on CLE. A good win. Go Twins!

I've heard they are open to offers. Scherzer is sure a wild card, I doubt he'll go anywhere unless a favorite. He's not coming to MN yet it'd be nice if he would.

It's like putting on War Paint. You want to personalize it & show intimidation, at least in your own mind. To get off the subject a little, "lead all of baseball with 64 HBPs" Why do you think that is so?
