    Impressed how Keaschall has improved over the season without needing a trip to the Saints. So many guys make at least one trip to AAA to fix things.

    Also, great to hear Dason Hill with a great outing. Hopefully, he can end the season on a high note and start out 2027 like it's 2025.

    Thought that Fort Myers was hitting more homers than usual. Congrats on the franchise record and for JP Smith clobbering 15 homers.

    What do I do with the ball when it's hit to me? At first base, in that last play, I would know I can never get the ground ball, step on first and then throw to 2nd base. That isn't one of my three options. Anyone else think this is just a little bit of the "the players playing now have always been told what to do by the coaches rather than think everything through before the next batter?" I just know that coaching 11-15 year-olds, I was always disappointed how robotic the all-star players were in the rec leagues. They just would look to the coach to know what to do. Maybe I'm just old.................

    I'm betting the Twins are going to be very careful with Prielipp the rest of the season with the innings pitched high for him, maybe skipping him at times.
  6. FlyingFinn
    To get Varland back, yes I am making that trade. Mendez is seriously blocked since he apparently can't play 1B. Hill could be great but no promise he can harness his stuff to get it in the strike zone.
  7. FlyingFinn
    If Bell wasn't there, Larnach could DH, which opens up a corner OF spot vs. rh's. Bell shouldn't play 1B either and thus blocks others most times when he plays.
  8. FlyingFinn
    If Larnach, Bell, and Roden are all still on the Twins after the deadline, there really isn't room for corner OF's. Normally a team that is trying to win, as the Twins say they are buyers, doesn't bring up prospects.
  9. FlyingFinn
    13 homers in that Fort Myers league certainly is impressive for Q. Young as that isn't known as a homer league.
  10. FlyingFinn
    Agreed on the playing time as the Twins aren't ready to bring up Jenkins yet. Good news for Rosario - the Twins like him enough to want him to play every day. Bad news - he's the odd man out when everyone is healthy for the Saints right now.
  11. FlyingFinn
    Tait - but no talk about his defense, which hasn't been good as far as base stealers (again, granted he is young for his league). That's what is going to make or break him as a catcher in the bigs.
  12. FlyingFinn
    Pitchers duals - refreshing!
  13. FlyingFinn
    Sounds like a great time for a NY/Boston bidding war!
  14. FlyingFinn
    More like "off the radar" with the current losing streak.
  15. FlyingFinn
    Like Gomez........................
  16. FlyingFinn
    Is it on him or the 1st base coach. Lee hits the ball hard. As he runs to first, he is watching if it lands and where it ends up if it does. Wouldn't the 1st base coach be the one responsible for telling him to stop at first as he should have his eyes at least somewhat on the runners in front of Lee? Curious what everyone thinks.
  17. FlyingFinn
    Do MLB teams ever do 3 way trades - Twins trade Jeffers, team B gives prospects as listed in the article for Jeffers, team C gets those prospects (or maybe different prospects) and gives the Twins a quality bullpen guy. Jeffers for a quality bullpen guy probably is overpay so maybe the Twins get a prospect somehow as well.
  18. FlyingFinn
    Good article but I disagree on the Twins defense being a surprise. Many thought it would be bad and projected Bell at 1B, Lee at SS, and Wallner in RF. Obviously the Twins came to the same conclusion and almost none of those happen now.
  19. FlyingFinn
    If the 13th guy is starting 4 or 5 days a week, that means starters are on the bench for 4 or 5 days per week more.
  20. FlyingFinn
    How can 3 Wichita players be on this list when they seem to have a hard time winning a game lately.....
  21. FlyingFinn
    Nice to see some good pitching from some of our guys in the minors.
  22. FlyingFinn
    I'm wondering if we got Tinney well under slot so we could get Wachsmann over slot.
  23. FlyingFinn
    At least the Wind Surge fans have someone to go watch in this dreadful season, as Riley Quick is coming. Wow, that was a "quick" promotion :)
  24. FlyingFinn
    Are the runs scored in the minors overall up from previous years? It sure feels like it. Anyone have thoughts on why?
  25. FlyingFinn
    Many including me said the trades last year were good or great EXCEPT for the Varland trade. Trading cheap, closer material that was under team control (and from MN) just didn't look good as someone predicted to be the closer. I want Bradley. Good trade.
