Twins (Ober) v ChiSox (Hudson), 9/6 @ 5:20pm CT

Send Ober on over! -
Sorry if I missed this, but what is the story with the bullpen start?
-
Twins are undefeated in September thus far.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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?

Well, they have to call him up now, right?
-
We only have two fans left? Me and who else?

It feels like the events of this weekend are making the likelihood of Jenkins getting called up for tomorrow in Sacramento much higher.

Twins (Kremer) v Padres (Mize), 8/22 @ 7:40pm CT
AlwaysinModeration replied to Squirrel's topic in Archived Game Threads
I read that as the mound was relocated to St Paul. -
Luckily the teams we are rooting to lose…have also all lost more games than they have won. Like the Twins.
-
And he’s not playing in the second game today, so draw your own conclusions…
-
Sorry Brian. But you should keep Jenkins anyway.

Always

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.
-
That’s a ringing endorsement from your manager.
-
Hypothetically would Hoffman be in line to work the 9th?
-
Martin Perez yesterday, Tyler Mahle today, could the Braves please start Chris Paddack tomorrow?
-
But, to get over .500, which was the point, they’d have to play .594.

Yes, saw it in southern Portugal
-
Twins went 5-8 against the Royals this season, and came a couple of pitches and a well placed Brooks Lee ground ball from going 2-11. Glad to be done with them. The Royals are 40-63 against every team not named the Twins.
-
No thanks. He’s 34, hasn’t slugged over 400 (or OBPed over 300) in the past two years. I’d rather see Wallner or any of the top prospects. Edit to add: He’s hitting .207 with a .284 SLG off of lefties this year. In other words, he might be a perfect fit for this Twins lineup!
