  1. This is what many of the other smart teams have done in similar situations. The Rays once sold off in a similar situation to us in the standings. There have been Cleveland and Milwaukee teams where they have sold off expiring pieces and picked up some decent prospects and didn't miss a beat on their march to the playoffs. This is not the Twins year to go all in so every move needs to be made for the future. Sometimes that means holding onto a person if you don't get the haul you want. I don't think we will get the value for players like Larnach or Clemens that they mean to this team while we are waiting for other players to come up.
  2. Game finished just in time to turn into Saints baseball. If you follow their social media pages, they announced that the Saints defeated the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man yesterday but had a lot of cleanup to do before today's double-header.
  3. It's time to deploy the official song of the Twins bullpen.
  4. Hopefully that is just the Cowboys completing their field goal before finishing the game.
  5. A couple notes in one post. I don't care who the Yankees are playing. I refuse to root for them, even if it could help us. At the beginning of the inning, they announced that Orze came out to Van Halen. This reminded me of the song that should be playing when Lawrence comes out of the bullpen: Mas Tequila by Sammy Hagar because we all need lots of it to get through the Lawrence pitching expedition.
  6. Aren't you the President of the Kreidler fan club? Why aren't you promoting your mega-church?
  7. It was either that one or this one when they announced Lawrence was coming in the game:
  8. I think he will still be on the team in Arizona. If everything goes right, he won't leave Arizona with the team as he will be DFA'd for Abel to make the start on Sunday.
  9. Better, but this game is still not Lawrence-proof yet. I think the Rockies-A's game over the weekend where the score was 23-9 would be close to Lawrence-proof.
  10. Reporter: "Where did you go on vacation last off-season, Trevor?" Larnach: Alaska Reporter: "Where in Alaska?" Larnach: Livengood, Alaska
  11. The good: Kreidler is in for Gray. The bad: Ryan is out of the game. The ugly: Lawrence is warming up in the pen. I warned you LaTroy. This game is not Lawrence-proof yet!
  12. TBH, I haven't noticed anything you have posted that would have warranted any warnings. Appeals process maybe?
  13. Many of us, including myself, tried to write off Larnach at the beginning of the year. Even if you are judging by will they help next year, the length of time that Jenkins and Emmy have been injured this year would still allow a carveout for Larnach to be around for, at minimum, the remainder of the year and maybe even given a spot early next season. If Buxton is traded, Larnach will need to maintain his position in the OF so someone else can cover CF. Long-term, Larnach is probably not part of the next great team. Short and mid-term, his bat will be needed to put the best team out there to compete every day.
  14. I fear him pitching because he is the current freshest arm out of the pen. Next up is Banda followed by Rogers. Attempting to let him pitch with a big lead is the only way for him to get work in without hopefully jeopardizing the game.
  15. Not enough runs to be Lawrence proof yet.
  16. I would like to commend everyone on this website. We are a lively bunch compared to the sister site that I was peeking in on yesterday in Jays Centre. I was following their in-game thread and they were only able to get to five pages of comments. We are over halfway there and only in the 4th inning.
  17. Nice rangy play by Keaschall. Glad he stayed with the ball.
  18. I found the bat that Lewis needs to invest in. He can work on his bat and golf swing at the same time!
  19. Good thing Zebby threw a good game on Tuesday with the day off on Wednesday. Joe Ryan may just barely clear five innings with his current pitch count.
  20. Maybe those social influencers from England that the Twins.TV had on Tuesday made an influence and created some Twins fans over the last couple of day.
  21. Royce, may I present a different head on the end of the bat so it looks like the 7 iron that you are trying to use to reach that ball in the dirt?
  22. Larnach quietly has the best OBP (non-IL) on the team with .368.
  23. This concerns me about going for the sweep in Texas. This entire ordeal started with trying to go for a sweep in Texas.
  24. I watched his outing last night. His line was a bit deceiving. He gave up 3 hits, 3 walks and only 1 K in 59 pitches over those 3 innings. He was also bailed out twice by the Blue Jays defense and once by a freak ball that hit Duran while he was on base that would have put runners on first and second with nobody out. I will suggest that SWR is a better pitcher when he has a league-average defense behind him rather than the league's worst defense. He certainly doesn't have his mechanics figured out yet to be a "I told you so" candidate.
