Gotta get Kirilloff going before the postseason. -
Willi has done most of his damage as a left handed hitter lately. Earlier, the splits were pretty close between LH and RH, but now his numbers look much better against righties.
-
My ideal scenario for tonight is for Cleveland to lose prior to the end of the Twins game so that the last team standing is Detroit. Then, the Twins can win their game and clinch on the field.

Pure titanium! Good for 18 holes today, but getting down to block low pitches would be a challenge.

Roster Crunch? Who stays, who goes?
stringer bell replied to stringer bell's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Today was the target day to activate Stewart. I don’t know if plans have changed, but there will be some tough active roster and 40-man decisions coming. There is room to activate Stewart with the Luplow DFA, but the other 60-day guys (Gordon, Alcalá and Paddack) will need to have room cleared whether they are on the postseason roster or not. I would guess Winder is the guy drawing the short straw if Stewart is activated today. If Paddack and/or Alcalá are activated someone else will have to go (Floro, Funderburk?). -
That’s correct. He did his 7-inning gig and left the game. Not an injury.
-
I hope he can play and be healthy for postseason. He seems to rise to the occasion (great numbers w/ RISP). I’m still not sure he’s the third baseman long-term, but he could be a legit 30-30 guy hitting between #2 and #5.

Dereck Rodriguez outrighted by Atlanta to AAA and Chi Chi Gonzalez was DFA ed for seemingly the 50th time (this time by the Marlins).
-
I have zero confidence that Buxton will be able to play in the field in the next month. I also have my doubts that he can help the club as a hitter, either as a DH or pinch hitter. It will be interesting to see what happens in the next ten days.
-
Nor do I, but if Kyle Farmer can do it, I'm pretty confident that Buck can as well.
-
All right, the Twins can clinch by winning tomorrow or perhaps having both Cleveland or Detroit lose. Winning in sounds best.
-
Tigers have scored in the top of the first.
-
Guardians grab a 2-0 lead in the 6th.
-
As most of us already know, the Twins could clinch the AL Central tonight. In order to do so, both Cleveland and Detroit would have to lose their games. The Guardians are hosting Baltimore while the Tigers are at Oakland. Personally, I would like the Twins to clinch by winning their way to the postseason. The club has mostly clinched titles on the road and it would be fun for the fans to watch the team sew up the division and celebrate. We can probably use this thread to track the games. Who wants the team to clinch tonight?

Jorge Polanco 2.0: A Hitter Reimagined
stringer bell replied to Matthew Trueblood's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Very interesting posting. Polanco remains a fine offensive player with the adjustments he has made. What concerns me is that he is only 30 years old and his raw skills have diminished so much. Is this someone the Twins invest in long term? I think not and perhaps he should be moved before Father Time completes his assault on Polanco's tools. I think of Brian Dozier as a player who aged rapidly and wonder if the same would happen to Jorge. -
I'm watching the replay on Bally since I didn't see the game live. I wanted to see how on earth the Twins got a double steal with Farmer and Vázquez running. Moll apparently is pretty easy to read and paid little to no attention to the "runners". The ball still beat Farmer to third, but the 3B caught it while moving and didn't get the tag down immediately. What is the significance of the hands in the air with the index and middle fingers moving (perhaps a clawing motion)? I've seen it before, but don't know what it means.
-
We’ve talked about Cleveland, but it looks to me like the last team the Twins will eliminate is Detroit.
-
Buxton will get a rehab start tomorrow with St. Paul. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/09/byron-buxton-to-begin-rehab-assignment.html

Tigers win! This greatly improves the chance that the Twins clinch on the field, as the Kitties next go to Oakland (they do play tomorrow night).
-
So you're saying there's a chance (to avoid the wildcard round)
stringer bell replied to Trov's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
If the Twins win all their games, they have a small chance. However, with so many games between the teams, someone will win them. Things would have to go just right for one of the teams not to win 90 games. As noted, the Twins have the tiebreaker with both Texas teams, but not Seattle. Domination in any of the head-to-head matchups or a Twin loss or two would render this thread moot. -
Tigers have also lost 81 games. They play the Dodgers later and could be eliminated today. I hope they win and keep remotely in the race as well.

One of my favorites

Well, for now we can drop the narrative about everyone getting healthy as we turn the calendar to October. The Twins are doing about as well as my Fantasy Football team (already two on IR).

Nope, he homered on 8/27 against Houston. -
Today is a Big Day for the Twins--in St. Paul
stringer bell replied to stringer bell's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Good results tonight in St. Paul. Gallo 1-3 with a walk and RBI. Gordon 2-3 with a run scored. Paddack with three scoreless innings, two hits, one walk and five Ks. Stewart with a scoreless inning, one walk, one K. Alcalá with a scoreless inning, as well.
