    It's now reached the point where Jenkins isn't just knocking on Zoll's door, he's hammering it down. You simply have to find a spot in the line up for him now, no more excuses about upsetting the veteran players etc. Larnach's production has fallen off a cliff - bench him. Jenkins deserves his promotion now. He'll still have rookie status for next season anyway.

    Just when I had given up on the Twins making the play offs they go and sweep one of the best teams in baseball and just after a particularly gutting loss too. This team just does not quit. Bullpen has gone from terrible to quietly one of the best in baseball for the last 6 weeks. Credit to everyone involved there. Oh and..... CALL UP WALKER JENKINS!!!!!! He's ready.
  3. UK Twin
    If only there was one of the best prospects in baseball who plays OF playing well at AAA.

    Agree with this but we should have then strengthened our rotation with getting someone like Detmers, Soriano or Hancock/Kirby. I just don't think our rotation is good enough for a team looking to get into the play offs.
  5. UK Twin
    I like this trade but feel Zoll should have done more to address the rotation and maybe added a bat as well. I feel good about the BP now though. But I really feel we should have gone out and got a Soriano or Detmers. It all feels a little half hearted.
  6. UK Twin
    I do think one of Houston or Culpepper should be considered for trade. Probably Culpepper. Whether it's for Greene or another controllable SP.

    Gomez needs to cut down the number of walks he gives up. 2 free passes in the bottom of the 9th is not ideal. Having said that, he worked his way out of it. Matthews settled nicely after a rough start. Great to be over .500!

    Just read that apparently Clemens is the 2nd player in MLB history to hit 3 HR's in a game, record a strikeout as a pitcher and hit an ultimate GS. The other player.....Babe Ruth. 😆

    Solid move. Didn't give up anyone of note and we get a decent left handed reliever. Good to see us making moves early - definitely suggests we're going to be aggressive over the next few days.

    Cash. That's all it took to get Clemens. Thank you Phillies. What a moment, what a swing. Down to the last strike as well facing a LHP. One of the biggest moments at Target Field that's going to live long in the memory. Not a very well played series by the Twins but got out of it with a series win and a 4-2 home stand. Big series coming up in Seattle.

    Twins have to add pitching. Add a couple of relievers and a starter via trade and we have a great shot of making the play offs. Put Buck back on the IL and get him back to where he was before the All Star break. Time for Jenkins to show what he can do.
  12. UK Twin
    I think that would end up backfiring for them as I do think we'll get an offer for Jeffers that we can't refuse, quite possibly from the Yankees in that situation. And then we won't be trading Caratini.
  13. UK Twin
    TBH Tampa Bay will probably refuse to trade any pitchers to us as they are sick and tired of watching them flourish for the Twins. 😁
  14. UK Twin
    This was my thinking before I saw your post as well. If Hancock is indeed available there's an obvious trade to make there.
  15. UK Twin
    This might be unpopular but I would trade Larnach now while his stock is high. Gives Roden more game time and we have Jenkins waiting at AAA.
  16. UK Twin
    The best inning pitched by Rogers by a mile this season. Intentionally walking Ramirez was an obvious move but you couldn't then let DeLauter reach and load the bases with no outs. 3-2 count and he threw a perfectly located pitch that clipped the corner of the strike zone. Turned out to be a massive moment. Bradley excellent again, keeping the Twins in the game against a dealing Williams. Great to steal a win from a division rival - Guardians will be very cross they didn't win that. A 3-4 record from that 7 game road trip is fine - would have taken that before it started last week. Now we need to back it up with a strong homestand against the A's and Royals minus Witt.
  17. UK Twin
    Why would Jeffers sign a QO though? I see zero reasons for him to do so. By trading Jeffers I think we'd get more in return even as a rental and we can either keep Caratini to the end of his contract or trade him at next years deadline because I think Lackey won't need to be in the minors long.
  18. UK Twin
    Jeffers is not accepting a QO or short term contract. And nor should he. He's 29, a right handed hitting power hitting catcher and his ABS challenges behind the plate are excellent. He'll want and get a long term deal. The only potential issue is the lockout which will happen in the offseason but his market will be robust enough for him to sign before that happens.
  19. UK Twin
    I don't think we should extend him anyway with Lackey being drafted. Jeffers will want 5 years minimum and rightly so. I would trade him because the catching market is so thin and we have Caratini and Jackson who are capable catchers. I think we could get someone to overpay for half a season of Jeffers.
  20. UK Twin
    For me, right now we shouldn't even be talking about trading anyone away. It should be about who we can acquire to strengthen our BP. After all we are in touching distance of both the WC spots and the AL Central summit. The White Sox and Guardians have plenty of flaws so we should be aiming to add, not take away.
  21. UK Twin
    In the amount of at bats that approximately make up a regular season he's hit 30 HR's and driven in 80. I'd call that sustainable.
  22. UK Twin
    Still don't know what to make of this year's Twins! I think we'd have all taken 35-40 when the season started but we could easily be over .500 as well. Really happy to see the reset Lewis had at AAA seems to have done the trick. Could be a huge player in the 2nd half of the season. I noticed that the series finale is Thursday and not Wednesday - presumably due to England playing Croatia in Dallas on Wedneday afternoon?
  23. UK Twin
    We're inconsistent but we don't have much trouble scoring runs - we're second in the AL in runs scored!
  24. UK Twin
    1 unearned run don't forget. That came in extra's with the runner starting on 2nd and that run didn't matter with a 3 run lead.
  25. UK Twin
    Joe Ryan doing Joe Ryan things is to be expected. Didn't mind the call for him to pitch the 8th with a fairly low pitch count and going well. BP stood up and delivered. Gomez looks a decent pick up and both Banda and Rogers have settled in after rough starts to the season. Brooks Lee is clutch with the bases loaded! Great swing on an 0-2 count. Caratini is a mess at the plate right now. Give Jackson more game time.
