  1. Bremer shouldn’t lecture about bad base running. He’s been watching one of the worst base running teams in MLB.
  2. Let’s not get too full of ourselves yet. A long way to go and the Twins have a habit of going quiet after really belting the ball around.
  3. Now if the weather were to come in, the game would be suspended, not washed out. Correct?
  4. Frankly, so far, Kirilloff hasn’t hit enough to justify the middle of the order.
  5. Pretty much agree. However per BBRef, Celestino has played an excellent center field so far this year (yesterday’s bobble notwithstanding). If one position player would have to be taken off the roster right now, I think he is the guy. That could happen when Sanó is ready to play or if a third catcher was needed (I think they have been on the brink there for a couple of days).
  6. He’s not hitting much. Gordon has definitely been the better offensive backup outfielder.
  7. I think it is a stretch to believe that any and every starter can be converted to the bullpen. Some guys are wired to pitch every 5-6 days, some are not. Some have their stuff “play up”, others don’t. Some relish the challenge of coming into close games late. I think the best course for the remainder of the season is a) get as many healthy as possible and b) trade for two proven bullpen arms.
  8. Perkins/Bremer are are pumping Correa to be selected to the All-Star team. Depending on circumstances, he might make it but the only lock is Arraez. I wouldn't be brokenhearted if there is only one Twin at the All-Star game.
  9. Wells is a success story for the Orioles. Good for him! The Twins seem to randomly have a good game no matter who the opposing pitcher is. I hope today is one of those days they won't really be contained. A perfect day would be plenty of run support for Smeltzer and two innings from the bullpen (Pagan & Duffey) in a comfortable Twins win.
  10. Two extremely unlikely comeback wins in a row. Lopez had allowed three earned runs all season until 18 hours ago. He allowed four while only getting one out in the last two outings against the Twins. Go figure!
  11. Poor start for Gray. They happen. Orioles could break this open right here.
  12. As a middle child (I have often joked that I was the second of three only children) I appreciate and approve of this game thread introduction.
  13. Good to see Jeffers back in the lineup. Anybody hear why he left early yesterday? The game report said that Jeffers suffered a bruised thumb. It appears that both Jeffers and Sanchez are a bit banged up right now, but that is life with two catchers on the roster.
  14. Lots of "cans of corn" for both sides.
  15. Really strange. I really would like to know what got him so upset.
  16. Lots of fastballs in the first from Ryan. Good velocity—mostly 93, one at 94–and location.
  17. You’re right. I was thinking of his previous start (Cleveland?).
  18. Pretty sure Ryan went 6 against Colorado.
  19. He probably passed the threshold a few days earlier since the season is compressed by a week. I think players get credit from the originally scheduled opening day.
  20. Pagán started 2022 with 4.091 years of service. A year of service 172 days. Add 83 days to the 91 and he’s over by two days.
