    Yeah, seriously.

    Dang it. Wrong thread.

    I see you've abandoned the position I was actually responding to.

    Regardless of how you define batting around, they did it just now!

    I think that's the joke. He isn't singing that song; for one thing, his name isn't even Yon Yonson.

    Seriously? We're still doing that? This one was a first pitch called strike - just shake it off and concentrate on the next pitch. As someone else pointed out, doing that tells the pitcher and catcher that you're having trouble reading a pitch in that location - guess what you might see again tonight?

    Let's rack up some really big numbers before Valdez gets settled in.

    Twins batting 1.000 tonight! So far.

    One more and then I'm done.

    Calling it hand-wringing is unnecessary and pointless. I thought Steer and CES were good trade chips to try to use. I was skeptical that someone like Mahle coming off an injury was the smart choice. His subsequent TJS had nothing to do with the shoulder injury before the trade, but there was a shoulder flareup shortly after the trade too, so we really didn't get a lot of mileage out of him. I would have preferred a trade for someone more in the Joe Ryan and Taj Bradley mold - gobs of team control on top of the underlying talent. Not impending free agency. Steer could be headed to DFA soon too, judging by his numbers so far in 2026 - and he's been below average since debuting strongly in 2022-23, a bad omen since he's earning $4M nowadays. Forgotten is pitcher Steve Hajjar who appears to be out of baseball now - I was bothered more by his inclusion than hindsight tells me I should have been. But at the time, the right way to judge aspects of a trade, these three represent a missed opportunity because together they were worth more as prospects than we got in return.

    Will Acton see action tonight? Or vice versa?

    Can the Twins put together a graduate-level colloquium for the position players called the Science and Art of Baseball Fundamentals? (Extra Credit: the emerging science of ABS challenges)

    Being able to DFA at will your 41st best player is not necessarily the aim here. 😁

    That's pretty impressive. 2 games, 13 innings, no walks.

    No doubt the Twins will be "in on" Skubal too.

    If the pitching holds up, there's no theoretical limit. #baseball

    Except when Wallner's up, LOL.

    Wait... no. I came in late and missed it. He didn't do that AGAIN, did he? Somethin' the matter with his thinker, as an old project leader of mine used to say (about others, I hasten to add).

    "In play, no out." Way to go, Brooks!
