    Looks like a wasted challenge.

    Does Willi get credit for a start at third base? And does he get credit for a game played at second?
  3. stringer bell
    Maybe I'm a little paranoid, but are Lewis and Buxton both okay physically? The rest pattern for Buck seems to have worked so far and Lewis is just off the IL, but I thought Royce looked a little gimpy running out his double in the late innings.
  4. stringer bell
    Maybe, but Kirilloff has been on the IL for over a month already and he can stay on the IL while rehabbing, so my best guess is that Kirilloff will be moved to the 60-day list. Pitchers get 30 days maximum on rehab, so Topa has quite a bit of time to rehab, if necessary. He started his rehab on the 23rd of July.

    Duarte, Winder and Headrick are all making minimum salary or close to it. Dropping them for salary relief doesn't make much sense. If you are discussing making room on the 40-man roster, Duarte isn't on it (60-day IL).
  6. stringer bell
    Headrick is on the minor league 60-day IL and is taking a spot on the 40-man roster.

    I don’t think Lee will ever grade out as having plus range, but Correa probably doesn’t either. Correa makes up for lack of foot speed with a big body and long reach and taking great angles to balls.

    Must be pretty humid. Ryan and Santana are already sweating through their uniforms.
  9. stringer bell
    What mental mistakes?
  10. stringer bell
    Misplays all over the place.
  11. stringer bell
    Cheap run off Ryan.
  12. stringer bell
    “Base hit”?
  13. stringer bell
    Time for the Twins to rise to the occasion—the Twins face an elite pitcher on the road. The right handed hitters need to peck away at Skubal, maybe getting him out after six innings, and Ryan needs to hold down the Kitties.
  14. stringer bell
    I think this management staff believes right handed hitters have a much better chance against right handed pitchers than left handed batter against left handed pitching. Add in that when the season started the right handed hitters (Farmer/Margot/Santana) were considered superior defenders to Julien, Wallner and Kirilloff.
  15. stringer bell
    Yes, the Twins will be challenged by Cy Young candidate Skubal. I hope Miranda is back and in the lineup against the Tigers tonight.
  16. stringer bell
    Edouard Julien could be a platoon option at first I suppose. The 2024 version of Miranda should be playing just about every day and if he can continue to produce when moving between first, third and DH, he should get plenty of reps at first and mostly against right handed pitching (reverse splits). I don't see the need to convert Wallner or Larnach to first base. Both are decent corner outfielders and Wallner has that plus-plus arm and the Twins will need another corner outfield spot filled next year when Max Kepler exits. Carlos Santana has been an outstanding acquisition and he is holding his own in the battle vs. Father Time, but Father Time is undefeated. I'd prefer the team doesn't slot in a 39-year-old guy in 2025.

    Good luck to Celestino with his new opportunity.
  18. stringer bell
    With his walk rate, I don't think the Twins trust Staumont that much.
  19. stringer bell
    Don't give them momentum! I really don't want to see the high leverage guys have to throw.
  20. stringer bell
    Seattle has been struggling to score runs all year and lately have been dreadful, they scored eight in the first inning against the White Sox.
  21. stringer bell
    All teams seemingly struggle. The Phillies had two chances to break Wednesday's game open in the first and second (2nd and 3rd no outs, and bases loaded one out). We see the Twins fail, but everyone does seemingly too often.
  22. stringer bell
    Looks like one of those innings for López.
  23. stringer bell
    I thought Roy was fine for the home stand. Both he and Plouffe know ball and hitting specifically, but TP is much more of a contemporary of today's players.
  24. stringer bell
    Here we go--Margot pinch hitting.
  25. stringer bell
    Enjoying Plouffe's analysis.
