I hope he gets at least one more start at Saint Paul. He did throw a lot of strikes but 90.4 on the fastball which is lower than his season average.
I think Zebby is the TBD pitcher in Colorado tomorrow.
Good call on Lee. Just because he can get his bat to the balls doesn’t mean he needs to swing at everything. He chases too many pitches out of the zone and when he does make contact, it is weak.
Keaschall is batting first and playing DH tonight for the Saints. He’s got speed which this slow team needs and provides some BTE - Bader type energy.
If C4, Lewis, and Wallner don’t pick it up now. It will be too late by the time Lopez comes back.
Wallner 0.2 WAR, 102 OPS+
Correa -0.1 WAR, 90 OPS+
Lewis -0.1 WAR, 60 OPS+
Both road and home series feature a bad and good team. Road - COL and LAD; Home WSH and BOS. We didn't get to .500 before the break. Need to go 7-5 to be there at the deadline.
The Twins and Joe Ryan have worked on his development. He’s not the same guy we got from the Rays. Don’t just take my word for it.

Trading Joe Ryan would be waving the white flag for this season and likely the next two or more as well. This front office can trade the expiring contracts, but should not be trusted to trade more aggressively. New ownership (hopefully) and the front office they choose should be left with these types of decisions for the future.
