  1. The summer sausage is nice but complacency can show up anytime. I view this as a trap series.. they should win 2 but the additions made by the Sox seem to have energized them. I'll be happy to get Correa and Duran back but virtually every player has played a role in this winning streak.. even Margot and Thielbar. Be careful who you send packing, sausage chemistry is a funny thing.
  2. They'll likely sit him with the Lefty Crochet pitching for Chicago tonight.. hope it's nothing but as Twins fans we always know better..
  3. The exhale about Pablo returning to 96 mph vs the inhale with Julien tightening up on a meaningless end of the game at bat. Such is life in Twins town. Don't lose focus in Chicago.. they're a different team with a win streak and a Pham.
  4. I think +hope+ they have three. At least right now they have two for sure.
  5. Enough five inning starters will eventually increase the need for a two inning closer.
  6. The bats have come alive.. they did well against a Sox lefty who wasn't Detmers. Sunday's game will be a good test, and a getaway day to boot.. historically a tough day for Twins batters. I'll look to see if Pablo's velocity is back up in the better conditions, and which if any of the left handed batters are in the lineup. A warning.. these won't be the same White Sox we saw last week.
  7. Nah actually live on the east coast, transplanted Midwesterner. The NFL is the only league that really micromanage starting times like some people would advocate. Outside of weather delays (see KC-Toronto yesterday with the getaway day likely impacting the decision) I honestly love the differing time zones.. makes for seven or eight hours of baseball if the Cubs are at home. 😊
  8. Seats make money.. a mid to late afternoon game on a Friday in Anaheim wouldn't be a very easy draw just to placate Midwest fans. I bet the Angels fans wish that east coast games started at 10 pm local time too..
  9. The results worked.. but Rocco took the platoon to an extreme against the lefty Sandoval Friday. Sat Larnach, Kepler, Julien, Kirilloff. We face a better lefty Sunday in Detmers.. it'll be interesting to see if he employs the same strategy. Yeah Farmer.. I got nothing. And Castro is thriving lately in the bottom of the order.
  10. I don't want to jinx anything but Carlos has some Zebop in his bat lately when he does make contact. Still plenty of whiff..
  11. Thanks for mentioning that incident. I also feel there's some connection..
  12. Yea to everything you said.. but you missed the point. I'll give you a hint.. there's a big A right there .
  13. My Twins Health paranoia said it was ultimately done to push Pablo's next start a bit down the road (which of course it won't!) 🙄
  14. Hum. If you use Jeffers as DH on a day when you have an above average defensive catcher, that's ok. If the alternative on days Vazquez doesn't catch, is having Jeffers in the lineup as a slightly less adept catcher but you are forced to DH someone like Margot, I don't think that's a net positive.
  15. Hope the news on Emmanuel is better today. Seems like a productive evening for the young talent!
  16. Guess he earned a few more starts after tonight. Does Carlos read this column?
  17. Louis Varland optioned to St Paul, Rony Henriquez called up. Max Kepler will also replace Jair Camargo tonight against the White Sox. Henriquez pitched 11 innings for the Twins in 2022.
  18. How long would it take to Unring the Popkins bell? Especially when we learn it's the Falvey bell?
