    Congrats to Wallner. I was a month early in predicting he would be the Twins minor league hitter of the month in May.
  2. FlyingFinn
    95 pitches for Morris. Nice to see we are really stretching out our starters now. 71% strikes is very good. With that strike %, it's hard to walk 3 guys but he did. Very good outing again!

    On the post-game radio show. Lewis could only run at 50% to 2B on the double. He said he couldn't have made it to home on any single at that point. Tight groin. Not sure why he didn't take himself out immediately at that point.

    Very confused on Stewart. Is it, "Brock Stewart’s return remains a long way off," or is "Stewart has graduated to live batting practice?" One seems terrible and the other comment optimistic.

    The Twins are generally very cautious with players coming back from injury. Royce Lewis still takes more days off and plays DH more than normal. Plus, it has been raining so much in Fort Myers. Do we really want to risk Jenkins reinjuring himself because of that. I think that's why he's DH'ing more. Could be totally wrong and there's still some minor injury but there is no need to rush things this year IMO.

    As they figure it out, Emma Rodriguez will be waiting in the wings.
  7. FlyingFinn
    Eddie Rosario has been DFA'd.

    Olivar is hitting so well. It's probably time for him to be moved up to Wichita. Cossetti and Cardenas are in deep hitting slumps so that would make the catching situation interesting there.

    Keirsey is having an amazing year. Injured for 3 weeks and picks up right where he left off.
  10. FlyingFinn
    The runner in the 8th should have been called out for running out of the baseline. You can move three feet from the line you are currently running to avoid the tag. He went from his normal running lane to well inside the grass, more than a 3 foot adjustment. Vazquez is in there for defense and has to play better than last night.

    And now a real stinker from Nowlin. Just not enough consistency. Time for Mercedes to move to Fort Myers.
  12. FlyingFinn
    Pitchers win by throwing harder and harder and throwing inside. That's a recipe for more hbp's and injuries. There are going to be a lot of pretend fights where benches clear but also a few brawls as the summer heats up.
  13. FlyingFinn
    I don't often concern myself with the lineup order but as hot as Castro has been, his placement befuddles me.
  14. FlyingFinn
    If we can get something, trade him while he's hot. He's taking up a 40 man roster spot. The Twins have done this before with Steer and Encarnocion-Strand. Just not so sure Severino gets a whole lot in trade.
  15. FlyingFinn
    Would ROY come with draft pick compensation or did we miss some rule by calling SWR up too late? Anyway, I would never have guessed this in April. Great job, Simeon!!
  16. FlyingFinn
    Morris is really trying to be a Zebby look-alike. 9 K's, no BB's, no runs allowed. Another great relief outing by Regi Grace as well. In a couple weeks, I would move Morris, Matthews, and Grace all up to the Saints. Low A ball can have some interesting #'s some days. Fort Myers scored 11 runs on 13 hits. Not that unusual I guess. How about they committed 6 errors, had 8 BB's, stole 8 bases, and allowed 8 stolen bases.

    Many on TD were saying this spring that the Twins hold back all of their young pitchers too much, mostly saying Raya and Festa. It's not true. Turns out Festa was only held back in April and probably to save some innings and pitches for later in the year, when he would hopefully be with the Twins. The Twins treat Raya different than any Twins MiLB pitcher I know of. If Raya succeeds, you will see a lot more treated like him. It's interesting.
  18. FlyingFinn
    They won't actually do the transaction until after the game tonight just because the game could affect the Twins plans (injury or someone used for a lot of innings).
  19. FlyingFinn
    It never shows up in his stats but we was great under pressure in the playoffs for Cedar Rapids, 7 IP, 2 H, 0 BB, and maybe 10 K's if I remember correctly. Long-time fan of his since that year and will be rooting for him.
  20. FlyingFinn
    or F(i)esta Day.
  21. FlyingFinn
    Good to hear a little information about Canterino. What you say is correct IF he doesn't get injured once again.
  22. FlyingFinn
    Henriquez called up. Wonder how long he will last. I'm thinking only until he has to go about 4 innings in a relief appearance.
  23. FlyingFinn
    That is the exact comp I was thinking about. He has a lot of hurdles to clear if he's going to make it to MLB, including perception. Like Shuffield, he may end up being a guy who bounces around the minors wherever the team needs him. Great story! Rooting for him.
  24. FlyingFinn
    This is the type of guy that gets selected in the Rule 5 draft this winter and stashed in a poor teams bullpen in 2025. He has flashes where he's throwing strikes unlike some pitchers who always walk guys (being left-handed doesn't hurt either). Therefore, I think he has a chance to make it to MLB.
  25. FlyingFinn
    Yes.
