    Minor quibble, the Twins aren’t in the middle of a four-game losing streak. They were at the tail end of a four-game losing streak, and now they are at the start of a winning streak of undetermined length.

    Twins are 1/2 game behind Cleveland for the best record in the AL. Also, the Twins have play 9.87654321% of the season. Lastly, Tristan Gray on pace for 111 RBI

    Four guys named as key contributors, but not Royce Lewis. Who is the sixth?
  4. AlwaysinModeration
    I always thought this line was in reference to Philly.
  5. AlwaysinModeration
    Can you name the four aforementioned Twins? Liam Hendriks must be kicking himself.
  6. AlwaysinModeration
    Tomorrow vs Patrick Corbin, pretty much the worst pitcher in baseball. How does he keep getting contracts. Also SWR with Toronto lineage…

    Hey, just spitballing here, I’m not my brother’s keeper.

    You don’t have to be great at ABS challenges. You just have to be better than the ump.
  9. AlwaysinModeration
    I’d like them to resign Jesse Crain to relieve in this game, Crain and Abel

    I thought that interview was great. He said the exact opposite of Pablo when asked about facing Skubal. And his response to the question on Jeffers’ challenges was genuine and fun. This kid is a real find.
  11. AlwaysinModeration
    Seriously. Just take your strikeout and go back to the dugout. He should be forbidden from challenging. Certainly not on a first pitch of AB. Should only allow challenges on (potential) strike threes or ball fours.

    Since this is about the cap, a question and a comment: 1) Would the Twins try to do the “two-for-one strategy of going under at #3 and way over at #43? Say,..$7mm for Grady Emerson and $5mm for Drew Burress? 2) If I recall, the Twins are one of, if not the only, team to never exceed their draft pool. If Tom Pohlad wants to contend tha things are different, he should be pushed on this - the Twins are voluntarily giving up resources they could use to get better players in the system

    Nick Gordon (5) was drafted in the year that heading into the spring, Trea Turner was considered the top overall pick. He had a ok spring for NC State, but slightly lower BA and OBP and steals than his sophomore year, so he fell to 13. Aaron Nola was also the best pitcher in college that year for LSU, with lots of strikeouts and basically not walking anyone. So, I vote for 1) not drafting the son of a major leaguer out of high school because he has name recognition, and 2) drafting a college player considered the top pick who falls. If the Twins get a chance at Roch Cholowsky, they should take it.

    Just need 162 more for a perfect season.
  15. AlwaysinModeration
    Can’t do 80s videos without David Byrne.

    This is the key. Caratini was waiting to see if Realmuto signed with Philly, or elsewhere. The Twins likely had this offer on the table. Once Realmuto signed in Philly, Caratini accepted the offer. i think they will try to pass Jackson through waivers. It’s unlikely he gets claimed, but it’s win-win; if he is claimed, the claiming team pays his $1.8million salary, and if he isn’t claimed, they’ve got catching depth at St. Paul. The real question this signing raises to me is whether they have also have a standing offer(s) out to 1-2 bullpen arms? Or is there a third $7mm signing for 7s wild?

    One month later, they “overtook” all seven on the list, plus a team with so few wins they weren’t even listed back in August. At least one thing they attempted succeeded this year.
  18. AlwaysinModeration
    3 throws, 1 running. Just that one of the throws was to a Viking - from last year’s team.
  19. AlwaysinModeration
    To be fair, McCarthy threw 3 TDs in his debut.
  20. AlwaysinModeration
    They’re succeeding at being bad, even if it wasn’t their goal…
  21. AlwaysinModeration
    Looking at the win totals a few days back to now: Giants 60 wins…now 63 Angels 60 wins (ineligible for lottery)…now 61 Diamondbacks 60 wins…now 64 Marlins 59 wins…now 61 Twins 58 wins…now 59 orioles 57 wins…now 60 Braves 56 wins…now 59 A's 56 wins…now 60 Pirates…….didn't bother to list before….now 57

    Well, if their goal is to get a higher draft pick, they seem to be succeeding.
  23. AlwaysinModeration
    Buxton has to steal third base.
  24. AlwaysinModeration
    And I for one am hoping he makes more than his base salary this year (and the next few).
  25. AlwaysinModeration
    Meaning if he doesn’t get an AB in a game, it doesn’t count as a game for streak purposes?
