    Just because I forget to post the link doesn't mean we don't pod! New ep is up with uh like 35 straight minutes of Joe Ryan admiration to open. Also NBA trades and draft! Erotic nightmares! A comparison of Joe Biden's sons' music tastes!

    Another masterful managerial performance from Rocco Smallballdelli

    I predict it looks like we're losing the getaway day game through 7 or so, but then the Sox win it for us with one of the most confounding errors you've ever seen

    I think if the Gallo/Polanco/Buxton trifecta is stable, and Larnach and Kiriloff improve, and Correa does his gradual heat-up, yes. I think the current win pace is sustainable. Then you get periodic hot streaks from guys like Kepler or whoever, I see it as definitely 90+ wins.

    It's funny, my GF asked me why I don't promote it more widely, and I was like it only appeals to MN sports fans with a particular sense of humor. We are the niche, baby

    I'm going to be worried about this more as we approach September. The operators affecting that opinion will be Buxton's sustained health, and Taylor's offense because with that number of Ks, a couple of dips could start looking kind of ugly. That said, his defense is such that we can sustain some sub-standard CF offense. My brother and I debated yesterday if Buxton might be playing CF in more meaningful games/playoffs to allow for a big bat at CF and DH where Taylor could be subbed in for someone defensively and move Buxton to DH?. I guess my fear would be getting him reps in CF while minimizing risk of injury. As others have noted, I'd suspect Baldelli is just happy to have the offense clicking and there's no reason to fix what ain't presently broke.

    New ep for this week. First 40 minutes are Twins talk. Discussed: Las Vegas Athletics... The great pitching and less-than-great pitching... Yankees schadenfreude... The ghastly division... Followed by Timberwolves and Wild post-mortem, then WWE, AEW, and NJPW BOSJ updates, in that order. Let us know how we're doing! We appreciate your business! As always: RSS Feed for those interested.

    I don't know that I'm implying a conspiracy necessarily.

    This is a heart over head take but I kind of don't want to throw him to the wolves again, start wise. I was listening to the radio (was at work) and Rocco was talking about how surprised they were by the quality of his bullpen session... Is that blowing smoke or is that like a fault in how we evaluate bullpen sessions? I don't want to overreact because he's been the worst pitcher but something about Maeda's last start felt climactic.

    we back. twins talk only this week.

    We hope you enjoy our new MN sports podcast: The Bum Ankles. We cover a lot of stuff, but the first 40 minutes or so of this episode is Twins talk, so I figured I was in the clear. Enjoy regular segments like: "I Hate the Media," "Todaso," "Transparency Corner," "Nepotism Corner," "The ISIS Memorial Person to Whom You Have to Hand It," "Conspiracy Corner," "Chinese Sports and Culture Update Presented by the Communist Party of China," and "the Basketball Gun Violence Minute."
