  1. No? After all, I too am a Vikings fan….
  2. Oof, there are a lot of really angry posters on here for a 4-0 team with a QB who completed 73% of his passes, didn’t turn the ball over, and led a game-sealing 5:41 drive (going 4-4 for 62 yards).
  3. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/49964734/nfl-minnesota-vikings-kevin-oconnell-kyler-murray-jj-mccarthy
  4. Do any fans know Pete Maki? Also, “drastic” feels a little hyperbolic. This is the time of the season to make changes so they can go through a process in a timely way of hiring someone new. They’ve basically had a below average pitching staff since he’s been the pitching coach. If anything, you could argue it was a bit precipitous to give him the job in the first place without doing a full search.
  5. On a different note, Kirk Cousins and Daniel Jones led their teams to victory (along with Kyler), while Sam Darnold feel short. Is Case Keenum joining this winners club this evening?
  6. I don’t mind that they traded McCarthy to the Giants, but I wish they had also gotten Tyrone Tracy back in the deal.
  7. Sorry if I missed this, but what is the story with the bullpen start?
  8. My original comment was “before Sept 1, most likely at home vs the White Sox.” Just disappointing that they didn’t take the leap six games earlier. Still, the Twins control their own destiny. Go on a winning streak, they could still make a run at the playoffs. And regardless, fun to see what this kid can do.
  9. Yes, the original poster said “how did that not go out?” in response to Roden’s fly ball out in the 9th. I said he hasn’t hit any homers for the Twins, so it wasn’t surprising, and that Wallner was a much more prolific home run hitter.
  10. The Twins went 1-5 in California over the last six days, in the process losing five games in the standings to the Guardians and four games in the standings to the White Sox. Since last Thursday, Jenkins has gone 11 for 23 with 5 homers, six walks and four Ks in 29 plate appearances. I don’t know if Jenkins would have been the difference in any of those games, but it would have been fun and compelling. Instead, the Twins played it conservative, and now any chance of the postseason is nearly gone.
  11. If you want to compare MLB homers, Wallner has hit a homer every 17 ABs in the majors, while Roden has hit one every 100ABs. Edit to compare minors homers: Wallner 1HR every 16.5 ABs, Roden 1 HR every 32 ABs.
  12. Well, Roden has zero homeruns this year, so the real surprise would have been if he DID homer. Wallner only has 23 homers this year, so glad they had Roden for that key spot.
  13. No hitter of the day for Lackey? In any event, seems like the ball is really popping off his bat for the Kernels. Also, Tinney giving anyone else Aaron Judge vibes?
  14. It feels like the events of this weekend are making the likelihood of Jenkins getting called up for tomorrow in Sacramento much higher.
  15. I read that as the mound was relocated to St Paul.
  16. Luckily the teams we are rooting to lose…have also all lost more games than they have won. Like the Twins.
  17. And he’s not playing in the second game today, so draw your own conclusions…
  18. Sorry Brian. But you should keep Jenkins anyway.
  19. Just getting a jump on the news. Mark it down. It’s happening before Sept 1. Most likely for the home series against the White Sox. But not impossible that he joins the team in Sacramento or even as soon as this weekend in San Diego. Edit to add: Apologies for the original post. The Twins are currently sitting in the final wild card spot. They have a legit shot at making the playoffs. It seems imperative that Jenkins gets called up before Sept 1 so that a) he can help them make a run at the playoffs and b) he’s eligible for the playoffs should they get there. It’s not if but when. The when has to be in San Diego tomorrow, in Sacramento Monday, or at home against the White Sox next weekend.
