    Not sure why this article claims it to be a "fake rally". Last I checked, Keaschall tied the game in the 9th after they were down 6-0. I turned the game off in the 7th, so to me, I missed a great rally, with three home-runs. Baseball is hard, but writing about coming back from 6-0 shouldn't be.

    Yeah, Kremer becomes Paredes. That way they keep the bullpen intact. It's a maintenance move not a game changer.

    Woah, I would take another Sabato at this point.

    Seems like the low minors pitchers like it when millionaire prospects step up to the plate -- plunk, plunk, plunk. Welcome to the Bigs Vaughn and Carson.!

    I tr;y not to get too excited when walking off the worst team in the American League to take two out of three at home, after nearly being shut-out two games in a row. But "ra-ra". They sure aren't there yet, wherever they are going. But belief is a powerful thing, and the Twins' players believe in something. We will see what management believes in over the next four days. I, for one, am going to put on a helmet.

    C'mon boys, the idea that the Twins should sacrifice their future as a winning baseball club on the altar of a surprise .500 season is just crazy. Crazy! Keep building for the future by giving up on wasting assets and acquiring ones on the way up. That's the way this goes: trade the old, bring in the new. And BTW, the clubs that are moving to adopt the younger players, Washington, Chicago WS, Boston, they are making the biggest moves! Trade Jeffers and whoever else anybody wants and then bring up the young talent and let them compete.

    You do realize that they would have win against the equivalent of the Dodgers? Right?

    Let's remember: Jeffers is gone regardless, his contract expires. What would you pay for two months of Jeffers? A good AA prospect, maybe two prospects in the low minors? That's it. Maybe they can move Larnach? Does anyone even want Bell? Ryan ain't going anywhere with his dead arm; plus the Twins need him next year. Don't expect the sun and moon and stars. The Twins are building young and from within and they are holding some good cards -- thank God.

    Maybe the same record, but think of the payroll reduction that has gone into this team. And how much younger they got, and could go younger yet. Just getting rid of Correa was the key move, and they don't miss him. At all. Twins have something in Morris; he's got that strapping walk and determination needed to get outs. A keeper for sure. No relation of course, but gotta like the name pedigree. A Morris was on the mound the last time the Twins were world champions.

    So the difference between good and great comes down to having better control of your pitches? Um, brilliant. Take this up to the front office immediately.

    Did Ryan really give up two home runs to a rookie named "Petey", with an OPS under .500? I'm not even sure that's possible if Petey put a golf ball on a tee at home plate and took five swings at it. Lordy, what's next?

    Bell did say he thought he needed to "tag up" potentially. Hey, team is down four runs in the 9th inning. If Armstrong makes a diving catch in the gap, who cares about tagging up? Just get back to 2nd in that case. For the Cubs, the ball is rolling loose in the outfield, any thought of getting two outs at that point would have been non-sensical. Glad I missed that whole episode.

    The Draft and the Twins' play this year is validating the epic bullpen sell-off from '25, which has received a huge amount of criticism on this board. The Twins' tank from middle of the pack all the way to 3rd pick in the draft, get a fanatastic long-term catcher, add a bunch of arms, watch as a couple of SS move up toward MLB, and are already a top offense due to young players learning how to hit. They still have Jenkins hanging out in AA, Mendez looking solid -- there aren't a lot of positions of need in the lineup. And it's not clear how good Keaschall, Lee, Clemens, Roden, et al, are going to be. Meanwhile, the pitching looks decent going forward. Still filling out the Bullpen but with Prielipp, Lopez, Matthews, Festa, Bradley, Ryan, Abel, I mean, they will have options. And they are getting younger, especially once they deal Jeffers, Bell and Larnach. It was hell getting here, but, they are moving in the right direction.

    Used to be that baseball was a sport where size didn't matter. Little guys could make it, big guys could too. Never forget Killebrew was 5' 10". I remember going to Target Field for the first time and seeing Dustin Pedroia standing at first base next to Morneau, two MVPs, two great players, two very different frames. Well, not so much anymore. Twins have ten picks, not one under 6' 2", nor less than 210 lbs. Times have changed.

    Small matter, but Carson has the best overall name from Day 1 of the draft: Tinney. Kind of like it, nice play on "tin", which has some baseball connotations for the sound off the bat (in college), but also, ironically "tiny", which for a guy of his size would be a perfect nick-name.
