2021 all over again. -
Divisions can be lost in April. This team is headed that way.
-
Just have to put Byron in center field. Oh wait...
-
Buxton is totally lost up there...
-
Come on, Byron...
-
That's a hideous at bat.
-
Good pitch there. Orioles were ready to bust it open.
-
Defense or lack thereof is killing them...
-
Catchable ball...
-
Everything that is even remotely close to Martin is an adventure. Even if the ball isn't hit to him, he's going to make it interesting.
-
Sigh...
-
Come on Vazquez...
-
Santana is sooooooooo overdue.
-
Nicely done, Miranda.
-
Get the runner in...
-
Sigh. 2021 is repeating itself...
-
Irvin's stuff is meh, at best. Twins should tee off on this guy.
-
Twins can't afford to have an anemic offense and also the keystone cops in the infield.
-
I don't think so. It's a small sample size and the Dodgers are a traveling all-star team.
-
Yeah, I don't think there's much more to it than meets the eye. They need to be careful with Alcala. Coming off a doubleheader with Varland and Paddack pitching, you're going to need as many fresh arms as you can get.

Yeah, I'm not understanding the plan. Play your best hitters. If Kirilloff can't hit Irvin then there's bigger problems with his long-term outlook. We're not talking about an ace or even a #2 or #3 starter. The guy is hittable. Give AK a chance.
-
I hope so. Get the W tonight, see what happens tomorrow and give yourself a chance to win the series with Pablo on the mound. If they can come home from this trip at 8-9 with the Tigers and White Sox due up at Target Field, I'd call it a success.
-
At some point, guys just have to start hitting their career average. No one is going to mistake Margot, Farmer, Santana and Buxton for Juan Soto or Mookie Betts, but they also shouldn't be mistaken for AAA hitters and that's what they resemble right now. There's a reason why Lewis, Julien and Wallner looked like world-beaters when they were called up last year and why Martin looks more confident at the plate than Buxton does.
-
I'd agree with this. I think the next couple of weeks loom large. There's a book on Rodriguez now, or at least there will be one soon and pitchers will have a scouting report. Adjustments will be made and he'll have to counter. How well he does that (or not) will determine how soon he's called up. With that said though, I'm not sure he could be much worse than the Twins' current collection of outfielders - including #25.

Was bullish on Varland to start the season and its hard to change your opinion after starts against the Brewers and the Dodgers. He wasn't necessarily awful in either start and the performances were what you would expect from a 5th starter. But, with that said, I think competition is a good thing and the Twins will undoubtedly keep an open mind when it comes to SWR.
