    Is that right? I know there are limits to options, but didn’t know that there are limits to DFAs.

    I have said for a while that Bride has no role on the team where he helps the team, so I’m glad they parted with him. “Good” Royce Lewis could change things, but it seems a long shot that he can be productive. Related note. It’s really not that long after returning from injury, but Austin Martin is raking at St. Paul. He’s not as good a fielder as Keirsey Jr., but he has a lot better chance of getting on base.

    An overdue move made. The most likely player to take Bride’s spot is Lewis. He gave no indication that he was ready to hit big league pitching.

    Probably will be back Tuesday. A mistake, I think.

    In the last three weeks or so, Detroit hasn’t floundered, while KC, Mn and CLE have. It does look like a runaway and the chances for a wild card seem to have also fallen off the table. I don’t know if the Twins have it in them to turn around their season again and I think the chances are smaller that Detroit will turn into a pumpkin. It looks like a real long shot that the Twins will make it to October baseball and actually have a chance to make some noise.

    Fully expect Topa to get lit up here.

    Bader is the first to strike out twice.
  8. stringer bell
    A hit!
  9. stringer bell
    Four innings and all the "hitters" in the lineup have struck out once.
  10. stringer bell
    Do you really think they can make contact any better by trying to bunt for a hit?
  11. stringer bell
    I don't get ESPN. I get the feeling I might be fortunate today.
  12. stringer bell
    I didn't say they would do any better.
  13. stringer bell
    Well, Vázquez and Bride can't do much worse than the first six hitters.

    According to BBRef, Larnach has started eight games against left handers and his splits are pretty lousy (.172 BA .475 OPS), Wallner has started four games versus southpaws and his splits are so-so as well (.207 BA, .717 OPS) and Bride has started 16 games against left handers and is terrible as well (.196 BA and .507 OPS) against left handers. Wallner's "good" numbers were mostly accrued before his injury and he has struggled lately. There aren't any great choices and if Bride is to have any role this is where he should be used. There has to be somebody better in the system and this really looks bad when Vázquez is catching.

    John Curtiss will get another big league shot. He broke in with the Twins way back in 2017, making 17 appearances in 2017 and 2018. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/06/diamondbacks-designate-tayler-scott-select-john-curtiss.html

    Certainly the whole Twins organization is ripe for criticism, from the players to the front office. I do it myself. I just don’t think it’s fair to register knee-jerk criticism and ride hobby horses and it sours the threads to me. So and so got a hit, but the guy we didn’t keep threw a shutout. Buxton homered, but he struck out with two on. And so it goes. Be critical, but be fair and it makes the threads much more enjoyable (to me). I’ve seen complaints that some posters seem to want to contribute only to pile on and I agree to some degree. I know everyone should be able to offer an opinion, but peeing in the punch bowl makes it a bad experience for most of us.

    One correction to the 40-man roster posted above is that Michael Tonkin was outrighted and is now off the 40-man roster. Also the outfielders were listed twice FWIW.
  18. stringer bell
    I remember Pagán saving three consecutive games for the Twins. He didn’t hold the closer role because he failed too many times.
  19. stringer bell
    Could be interesting if all the infielders are healthy, but there will probably be an injury or two by the time the injured guys are activated.
  20. stringer bell
    Good game for the Twins. Need a win Saturday with Skubal ready for Sunday.
  21. stringer bell
    Gotta hold 'em to one here. Torrez didn't hit it hard, but found grass.
  22. stringer bell
    Baez will chase.
  23. stringer bell
    Yup. An infield of France, Lee, Correa and Lewis is epically slow.
  24. stringer bell
    Loved the "Frank" AI commercial the first time I saw it. Much less so the two times since in the last half hour.
  25. stringer bell
    Really nice play on the force by Lee. Almost got the DP.
