  1. This team isn’t winning it all no matter what they do. That being said, I want to see this team in the playoffs even if they get bounced first game. It will be a hell of a lot better than I thought they would be this year. I will never like the Pohlads but their approach makes sense this year. Do a little to try and appease the fans after shi***** the bed last year while knowing we are a few years out from really making a run. This trade in particular is meh, but we need innings with all the young guys on limits so it’s fine. I disagree that a Gausmann type is the right move. Doesn’t change my first sentence. Ownership is nibbling a little…maybe like a piranha. This team is actually entertaining. P.S. I like Zebby. Improving every year and can go 6-7 innings. Has had a few really bad games but we got a chance with him most nights don’t send him to the pen unless it’s an innings limit methodology .
  2. This team has .500 fatigue. A lot like Ryan’s arm.
  3. When lineup spots aren’t guaranteed it increases competition. Handle the pressure, and you’ll stick around, until you’re traded (sorry couldn’t help myself). I find myself enjoying a team where merit gets you playing time and new faces get a chance to play before they rot away in AAA.
  4. Austin Martin the end of ‘25 stud has the same AVG as his SLG at .214. Granted he gets on base and I don’t hate the guy but no XBH in 7 games. Just another example of a flawed system that is not going to age well. I’m ready for new blood making mistakes and at least learning with a long leash.
  5. Nice win. However, the platinum sombrero by Wallner is a bit…ouch. Guy might not be seeing it well early on…
  6. Time to shut Buxton down just to stick it to the fans one more time...
  7. “Hopefully this trip back to the minors can help Miranda on his path back to being back at his best, because we know what he's capable of too.” Really Nick? Another trip back will hopefully show us what he’s capable of? He had a 2 week stretch once. Outside of that he can’t hit, can’t field, and can’t run. God, if this is a guy we ever want back in that clubhouse it’s worse than we all thought.
  8. The clean up hitter has 1 xbh w zero hr and sub .300 slg. Guy hasn’t hit a hr in 32 games. Seriously…
  9. Read a lot. Don’t post much. I get frustrated but try to enjoy the weird ride the twins take us on every year. A simple stat that blows my mind is: Devin Smeltzer leads the team in quality starts with 6. Devin f’n Smeltzer Smeltzer 6/12 Ryan 6/17 Gray 5/16 Winder 3/6 Bundy 2/18 Ober 1/7 Archer 0/18 Incredibly difficult to win long term even w/ the recent reinforcements.
