    Given the Twins are 2nd in runs scored, and I haven't heard anyone mention him yet, but what about the Twins'hitting coach? I mean, I don't even remember his name, but he came from Detroit and they hit well under him too. He's getting good results from somewhat marginal talent.

    Last year's crash out of contention and stripping of assets is looking better and better as time goes on. Like virtually any team in MLB, going young is proving to be a great way to build back a competitive team. Twins will get another crack at it in the '26 Draft and it sure looks like they will get a winner, though how many right side infielders we can funnel to the majors is an open question.

    Twins need a shortstop who can field well and hit well. Seems like they have two of them in their system, one at AAA and one at A. I know it's complicated, but shouldn't they advance the two in their system and let the chips fall where they may? Isn't that why the minor leagues exist in the first place, to bring forward prospects to MLB?

    Are Tait and Jimenez both catchers and both at Cedar Rapids? Didn't Diaw just move up? What's the plan here at catcher? Going to need a someone next year with Jeffers on the move to a new team.

    I think this is a legitimate question: what's Luke's best position? He's a gamer, so we want him in the lineup and on the field. But where? A second baseman with range and an arm is a huge asset. Watch the kid from St. Louis sometime, Weatherholt. He's making plays and saving runs and he can hit. Luke has good range, but, that's his best defensive asset. The arm ain't great, and it feels like he has the bobbles on ground balls he has to chase down. Finishing double plays, also not a strong point. Would Royce be better at second base than Keaschall? Great question. Keaschall is young and may develop, especially after his broken arm but so far, it's a fair question to figure out where he is best. Could well be Left Field given his leg speed.

    I saw that in the boxscore and I was scratching my head: who the hell is Jenkins? Oh, that guy. I know all the deep stats look good for him, but, so far it's been a pretty vanilla run through the minors.

    Great, another thing to worry about in regards to the Twins. He's over the hill. How about we just give up on this team, this player, and the whole organization? Don't watch them, post on this site, or even consider baseball as a possible thing. Less stress that way.

    Lewis' defense at 3B has been adequate, and so has Lee. The infielder who is inadequate is Bell. Thus, one of Lee or Lewis needs to get a mitt and learn how to play 1B for the good of the team. And yes, it is time to bring up Culpepper at short. Exactly what are they waiting for?

    I think MLB players really need to think this through. A cap and floor system would help salaries for a lot of players, not just the superstars. I've seen this before where salary negotiations are pegged on the highest flyers and the others get scraps. Not every player is going to be a mega-millionaire, but if they have a high salary while they are in the league, that is worth something to them and their people. I, for one, am sick of seeing the Yankees and Dodgers loaded with all-stars, all making bank, while the other teams are full of has beens, never weres, and young inexperienced players who just can't get it done. And then, when a player breaks through and becomes a star, they get kicked upstairs to the Dodgers, robbing out of the way teams of a truly great player.

    Question: If Ryan is "under control" through 2027, why do the Twins need to make the move at the deadline in 2026?
  21. Old Twins Hat
    Gotta wonder about Matthews game plan. Threw a ton of fastballs early, even when it seemed he didn't have good command of it. And, predictably, gives up two dingers on inside fastballs. Then realizes that the fastballs aren't playing and switches to off-speed, settles in and pitches an efficient six innings. Was that the catcher's idea to try to dominate early with the heat? Either way, a little different pitch selection and it could have been a different game. Of course, Twins still got to hit the ball.

    Play him!

    Kind of a side topic, but that war paint he puts on his face, what is that about? I know that some eye black helps deflect the sun but, Royce has taken that in a direction I've never seen, with decorative streaking that makes him look like a warrior. Has he ever said anything about it? Is it actually functional somehow or why do it like that?
  24. Old Twins Hat
    Yes, Kreidler's numbers in MLB have been terrible, abysmal, unplayable. And I did say MLB -- how many years exactly has he been in the Major Leagues with terrible, abysmal, unplayable numbers? Longer than Wallner? Longer than Royce? Here's to you Mr. Kriedler, swing for the fences, run with the wind, and goddamit you show us how and why you got this far.

    Who leaves a player like Lewis exposed like that for such a length of time? It's embarrassing. And sad. For the entire team.
