    Me too.

    Rocco gave his BP a couple more minutes with his tirade. These small crowds let us hear the players (and manager) and Rocco has some profanity in his vocabulary.

    Twins have the sixth best team ERA in MLB, unfortunately they have the third best team ERA in the AL Central.
  4. stringer bell
    All five teams in the AL Central won their games last night (5/9) and right now the composite record of the five teams in the AL Central is 103-92, the best record of any of the six division in Major League Baseball. Who'd a thunk it?

    Two hours and seven minutes. Quick game and a win.
  6. stringer bell
    First win where they scored three runs or less. Nice job pitchers!!

    Nope, Shaun Anderson. In my mind, the Twins had one too many left handed hitting fourth outfielders then and traded one. They traded Wade Jr. and kept Jake Cave. Similarly, when the Twins traded for Mahle, they traded a young hitter who principally played third base. In my mind, the choice would have been between Miranda and Spencer Speer.

    Yep, Shaun Anderson (acquired for Wade Jr.) had his contract purchased by the Angels today. He's had not much success for any of the seven teams he's played for.

    Great job for the Sheriff. I was convinced that Wade would either homer or walk, but he got him on a long fly ball.

    The announcers said that Paddack went 8 against Cleveland in May of last year.
  11. stringer bell
    C'mon Royce.
  12. stringer bell
    They have Coulombe and Varland for sure and I wouldn’t be surprised if Duran could pitch the ninth.
  13. stringer bell
    Batter to batter now. One more runner and he’s gone, I think.
  14. stringer bell
    He looked unhittable until the sixth. Not so much last inning. I hope he can go 7. Wouldn’t expect much more despite the low pitch count.
  15. stringer bell
    Who is this #20 for the Twins?
  16. stringer bell
    I was going to comment that the ump’s zone was tight, but consistent. Then he rang up Jeffers on a pitch that he called low all game.
  17. stringer bell
    I tried it and it hasn’t changed a thing.

    Shaun Anderson continues his odyssey around MLB. He pitched in four games for the Twins in 2021. Probably more important, he was traded to the Twins for LaMonte Wade Jr. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/05/angels-select-shaun-anderson-transfer-ben-joyce-to-60-day-il.html

    There's room for a left handed hitter vs. southpaws given the Twins current roster. Some of the right handed options aren't very good--Castro has hit better left handed since coming to the Twins, Bride has pretty severe reverse splits and Vásquez can't hit anybody. For now, Larnach is getting PAs against lefties. I was surprised to see him hit in the eighth inning yesterday (tie game, one out, two runners on). When Matt Wallner returns, he might get the chances that Larnach is getting. SSS, but he's 3-5 with a homer against same sided pitchers. Of course, by the time Wallner returns someone else will probably be on the IL. Regardless, by and large Baldelli has abandoned the early pinch hitting for left handed hitters, and I totally agree with that change of strategy. Resting Wallner and/or Larnach against left handed starters is prudent IMHO, but giving them PAs against left handed middle relievers helps later in games and later in their careers.

    Cano allowed zero hits. He did walk the two guys who scored on Lee's double and was charged with the loss.
  21. stringer bell
    Matt Bowman DFA'd after pitching Tuesday and Wednesday. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/05/orioles-dfa-matt-bowman.html
  22. stringer bell
    Yeah, the AL Central teams all were playing teams with poor records. Twins/Orioles, Tigers/Rockies, Royals/White Sox.
  23. stringer bell
    That aged well.
  24. stringer bell
    Lee isn't doing much right.
  25. stringer bell
    I think both guys are on the outside looking in at this point. Miranda was in a similar position at the start of 2024, but was given a chance due to injuries and hit well enough for long enough to be on the cusp of being an "everyday player". Then he got hit in the head and slumped noticeably. He hasn't seemed to recover the groove he was in and now the Twins have other options to first and third. In the last calendar year, Julien has been a bad baseball player. The power has dried up, the walk rate is down and the K rate is up. Both guys are bat-first players and despite hard work to improve their defensive skills, they are liabilities in the field. It is unfortunate, but their trade value would be negligible. Both guys would be candidates for non-tender or DFA unless things change during the season.
