With Kreidler starting, I expect this to be resurrected on this good Sunday.
-
That was a tough one to watch the replay of…which I had to do after reading the box score “single line into double play”…wha?!?
-
Went to the game last night. First time at Wrigley. It was packed. Reminded me a bit of Fenway. It is wild that there are bleacher seats on the roofs of buildings on Sheffield and Waveland across the street. From behind home plate it looks like they are a part of the stadium. Did not think the game was going to go the Twins’ way after Bailey put the first two runners on first and third in both of the first two innings. To get out of those jams with one total run was improbably impressive and/or lucky. The double play turned by Lewis was an interesting choice (stepping on first first), and if the runner holds up at second, the run scores before he is tagged. Keep the momentum going, would be great to get a series road win against a tough NL opponent.
-
Do we have any sense of whether the extreme smoke is going to cause them to postpone the game? Edit to add: Considering Bailey is kind of a smoke and mirrors guy, maybe this will play to his strengths.

Excellent pick. Glad they didn’t mess around.

Twins 3, Angels 4: Too Little, Too Late
AlwaysinModeration replied to Matt Braun's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Royce’s 8th inning AB vs Bachman: five pitches nowhere near the strike zone. The next at bat was 7 pitches out of the zone as well; Brooks swung at three of them. It wasn’t until the 14th pitch of the AB that Bachman actually threw a pitch in the strike zone, but the Twins had already swung and missed five times. (And then later in the inning, Caratini swung at the first two pitches of the AB, both balls).

💯 on all of this: Didn’t mind the banter and even some insights, they just need to call the plays. Brooks Lee made a nice play on a liner early in the game that they didn’t even mention. Wallner has Cement Bones, Cleveland packed Cement Gloves for this game. Taj with at least 23 swings and misses. (!) He was filthy. Tonight we get to see what Roden can do.

Keith Law posted another Mock Draft, based on “what he’s hearing” and will do one on Friday. He now has Emerson #1 to the White Sox, Lackey #2 to the Rays and Cholowsky #3 to the Twins, saying they are “in the catbird seat.”
-
The Twins trade for Detroit pitcher Woo-Suk Go for cash considerations. He has a 29% K rate, and a 2.60 ERA in 27 AAA innings this year, but hasn’t gotten into an MLB game yet. Career stats in Korea and the minors: 3.51 ERA, 9.7K/9, 4.0 BB/IP. He’s 27. Hopefully he doesn’t suck. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=ko----001woo&utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.mlbtraderumors.com&utm_campaign=2026-07-05_br

Law also was asked in a chat how the top prospects this year compared to past years; he said Lackey was better than the top picks from the last two drafts.
-
From Keith Law’s mock draft on June 10 (he will do two updates before draft day): White Sox: Projects Vahn Lackey. “I had the White Sox with Grady Emerson in my first mock draft, and mentioned Jacob Lombard as well. In this case, nothing has actually changed — I believe their mix still includes those two, and, yes, Roch Cholowsky. It has just sounded a little more like they’re leaning towards Lackey in the last week or so.” Rays: Projects Tyler Bell. “Heard this one a few times in the past several days, and since Tampa Bay took Bell out of high school, it’s plausible that they’d still view him in a similar light now that he’s raked for two years in college — this year with a bum shoulder, too. I believe they’d also consider Roch Cholowsky and Vahn Lackey.” I hope the Twins get Cholowsky, but it’s not a slam dunk between him or Lackey as the best player in the draft. Plus unexpected stuff happens in the MLB draft all the time. In short, I think it’s way more than a pipe dream for them to have Cholowsky fall to them.

Rockies (Sugano) v Twins (Bradley), 6/26 @ 7:10pm CT
AlwaysinModeration replied to Squirrel's topic in Archived Game Threads
I remember listening to that game on the radio, and getting a sinking feeling that “surely they can’t lose this, right?” -
Anyone else thinking Ryan was “sick” today because he wanted to go up against Shohei?
-
Ok, so the Twins should offer him a 4/50 extension. My point is the Twins should keep this guy. He’s excellent and can be a middle of the order part of the next winning team, possibly even later this year.
-
Shelton emphasized Monday’s MRI is precautionary. “The imaging is just to see where we're at,” he said. “Everybody wants to go initially to the imaging is, ’Oh my god, something's catastrophically wrong.’ It's just that if he's not recovering like he should be, then we need to diagnostically use everything at our advantage to take a look at it. “I think until we get the MRI back, then that's when we can have that conversation.” Translation: Something is catastrophically wrong.
-
The report during last night’s game was “setback” and “sent back to MN for an MRI.” Why aren’t the Twins able to have nice things?
-
Two years, $28mm plus an option year for $15mm. He’s been a great part of this team and I would love to see him stay as a part of it. As others have said, would also help them make a run this year. Also, Tom Pohlad has been interacting with reporters a lot this year. They should be asking him every chance they get about extending Jeffers and Ryan.
-
Strongly disagree. Bullpen arms don’t cost too much at the trade deadline. Getting two guys would help the team on the field, team morale, and also back up the talk from Tom Pohlad. Trading Ryan and Jeffers would send exactly the wrong message. This team is hovering around contention, is getting healthier and has several promising prospects on the verge of getting the call. I’d argue it would malpractice not to make some moves to try to shore up the most glaring weakness, the bullpen. Especially during Buxton’s best year, the most loyal (and best) Twin they’ve had since Mauer.
-
If he stays healthy all year, he has a legit chance. I’m on the late Adrian Beltre career run to the Hall-of-Fame bandwagon for Buck, personally. He also has 37 consecutive stolen bases, 13 from the all time record, held by Vince Coleman. (AL record is 45.)
