Gómez! Our hero!

Give 'em an inch and they'll take 41.666... miles.

Game thread motto.

Austin Martin's tiptoe approach to scoring a run differs slightly from Contreras last night.

Welp, the lead's turned over to our bullpen. I foresee smooth sailing the rest of the way.

I think you can now. The Twins just released him after no one grabbed him on waivers.

THEM FIGHTING WORDS

That hawt taek never grows old. 😀

Not facing left-handed pitchers has a lot to do with his having that designation.

Once in a while they go straight. That moment's exciting.

The snail whee whees on the turtle. Didn't we just go over this?

On Getaway Day, Buxton has the day off, and facing a righty I imagine the decision is pretty straightforward for the manager. We can all lament that the Out man is even on the roster, but given that he is, to not play him would amount to insubordination by the manager to his GM.

Based on the scouting report I look at, you gotta give Arcia a shot in this race too.

So if the draft holds to form, who do you like for #3?

Batting 2nd his OPS this season is .201. Batting 9th his OPS this season is .317. Batting 8th his OPS this season is 1.059. I'm sure there is some logical baseball reason why Lee is Babe Ruth in the 8 slot but is helpless when batting 9th. Read your spreadsheets, Derek Shelton!

Twins Minor League Report (5/22): Hendry Mendez Big Day
ashbury replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
Opposing pitchers do have some say regarding the walks, and if he's ever at the major league level I have to wonder what happens when talented pitchers come into the strike zone more with their best stuff. I don't foresee other-worldly walk rates in the show. Do the walks turn in to base hits, or weakly struck grounders and popups, or strikeouts?- 28 replies

Swell job, Outman. Striking out and losing the challenge should earn you two points toward a Golden Sombrero.

Cody Klemens is a mere shadow of his illustrious dad. / edit - I got a thumbs-down for misspelling Kody's name? 😀

I don't see it. An "arm", the way Matt Bowman is an arm, sure, maybe, why not. Not an "arm" you want to plan around, or even simply dream on. Bowen is age 25 and still at AA. Putting up decent but not stellar numbers this year after pretty bad numbers in his prior two years in the Twins organization. And his 3.74 ERA this year is built on a BABIP of .204, which no major leaguer can sustain. He's a non-tender candidate this off-season IMO, unless he finds lightning in a bottle pronto. There was cash that came from Seattle to the Twins, partially offsetting the Giants salary (which the Giants partially paid to the Mariners, and the Mariners then passed along). My understanding was that the Twins received a net payroll reduction, which they applied toward signing Carlos Santana. b-r.com: January 5, 2024: Traded by the San Francisco Giants with Mitch Haniger and cash to the Seattle Mariners for Robbie Ray. January 29, 2024: Traded by the Seattle Mariners with Darren Bowen (minors), Gabriel Gonzalez (minors), Justin Topa and cash to the Minnesota Twins for Jorge Polanco.
