We are in a great position because#1 Ober is becoming an Ace. We are literally watching him develop into one at the right time. #2 Lopez is getting hot at the right time and has the previous experience of handling the Ace pressure. #3 Ryan is tagging along and may have Paddock/Festa/SWR/Varland in the pen to tag team a shut down game with in October!
This late season comeback/ playoff run is going to be exciting!!!
Ober has been incredible since the KC debacles. This is gonna be a great show to watch Aug/Sept/Oct!
Has anyone looked at Cleveland’s remaining schedule? It. is Brutal.
C4 will be back soon and Farmer should be sent to the 60day Il.
lets string together another dozen wins or so!!!
We really have a great pitching staff. Sands has been lights out which I wouldn’t have ever thought possible. Ober was definitely King of the hill last month.
I definitely agree but we need 1 guy that catches lightning in a bottle to help in October. It doesn't matter who it is or how he got to the show. We just need 1 more guy.
18 mlb teams have between 50-59 wins. Twins have 58. Six teams have 60 or more wins. We are above average in every thing except health. When we get C4 back and our recently acquired slightly above average RP in uniform, we will be even better. Its time to make a run at another winning streak. Oh and we cant have the #2,3,4 batters in the lineup strike out 10 times in a game. That was just horrible tonight!
Way better odds than success with mid season/deadline trades. There is a time for different strategies and this season isn’t the time to sell prospects to just add a warm body with MLB experience. Buy the best and if its not available, figure out a different path.
Sports Dynasties are built all the time thru the draft. There is definitely luck involved in those decisions.
We have a possibility of a very big wave of prospects in ‘25/26 so we really don’t need to go all in on a risky move in ‘24. Top 5 offense and enough pitching to get by. Unless we can get an elite pitcher, we are only switching names/ not upgrading any production.
Dobber would be as good as any trade not named Scherzer. Just takes one 60 day IL stint by someone on the 40 and we could slide him right into MLB again.
I like your list. Andrew Morris andZebby Matthews are both having quite a breakout season. By this time next year, they may both be on Varsity. That minor league pitching development train seems to be rolling.
If I were the twins FO. Id sit down with existing players with a bonus plan based on 2nd half and playoff incentives. String that carrot and pay the money when the WS is won. Id also buy more pitching.
They just got Joe Kelly back, activated a River Ryan. They have Grove, Grateral and Kershaw currently on rehab assignments. They obviously are trying to keep the best pitchers on the team. Im not sure Paxton is someone to over look. He may be an upgrade depth piece that is cost effective for the cheap ownership family.
Yeah, I was at the game. We lacked base runners and key hits when guys were on base. Sundays team RISP 1 for 12. 4 runs scored on 3 HR. Martin would have saved 2 runs if the kid would’ve not caught the HR ball that barely got over the wall. Its a game of inches but baserunners and key hits wins games.
