  1. Overlooking the condescension in your yeah, hmmmmmmm comment, yes they're all in play - FOR THE RIGHT DEAL. And determining the right deals is why Zoll gets paid the big bucks.
  2. I got all excited when they recently took 2 out of 3 in New York which is a rare occurrence to say the least. But it's pretty clear that this team as currently constructed doesn't quite have the horsepower for consistent performance. And it's all about winning to bring the fans back. Anybody should be available for the right deal.
  3. The Twins are full of team players, so they're working hard together to make the buy/sell decision an easy one for management. Not just losses, but no chance, embarrassing, blowout losses.
  4. Sonny Gray is 12 and 1 for the Red Sox. He'd look pretty good in the Twins' rotation. Letting him go was a more significant blunder than signing Carlos Correa IMO. Instead, they're sending out 8th round pick Zebby Matthews against the Cubs and hoping he becomes a pitcher some day.
  5. The eerie part of all this is that Tom Pohlad looks almost exactly like my brother - whose name is Tom. There's something very strange going on here.
  6. Regarding the base running gaffes - they're 4 runs down in the 9th inning - so why are they even thinking of taking chances - especially thunderfoot Bell? Baseball and baseball strategy is ALL these guys do for a living. Sometimes it's hard to believe that.
  7. When they picked up Cody Clemens I knew he would end up being a good all around defender and a productive middle of the order hitter - said no one. That's one of the amazing things about baseball. Full of surprises.
  8. Sometimes I do think that a transition period in the field can effect a player's production at the plate - for better or worse. Maybe once Gonzalez gets a little more comfortable at 1B his bat will catch up.
  9. Not to be jaded or anything, but there are plenty of can't miss super phenoms such as Miguel Sano who fizzled. Lewis, Buxton, others all have had immense struggles at one time or another. They really don't know who any of these guys are until the rubber meets the ML road.
  10. This was a known issue with Prielipp from before day 1 of the season. I'm kind of surprised they don't have a plan all mapped out. Or maybe they do and they're not saying. From what Shelton said, they're kind of flying by the seat of their pants.
  11. Lewis has amazed me - I really thought he was done. He looks good at a brand new position and seems to be getting better. I'd keep him on the field as much as possible. Keaschall also seems to be really coming on after the move to the outfield. He looks great out there. Part of maximizing their chances comes from the continuous improvement of those 2 players. Jeffers, Buxton, Lewis, and Keaschall - I think that 's going to be some serious right handed firepower in the second half.
  12. If I may again obsess about the Varland trade for a moment... In a race like this, it may very well come down to just a game or two difference at the end. The Twins have already lost multiple games they should have and would have won with Varland at the back end of the pen. It will come back to bite them. Rojas and Roden better be good.........someday.
  13. I don't think Jansen is a possibility for a variety of reasons - the main one being that the Tigers are coming on strong. Objects in your rear view mirror may be closer than they appear.
  14. This Twins team still seems full of possibilities. Maybe the Cubs and Guardians will squash that hope, but I don't think so. Teams often evolve for better or worse as the season progresses, and this team seems to definitely be getting stronger. An asset like Ryan is extremely hard to come by. Mr. Pohlad and Zoll, please don't screw this up.
  15. I can't believe they haven't called Lackey up yet! - Wanted to be the first one to say it.
  16. I was surprised they didn't give Bowman a shot to begin the season - they were desperate for competent arms and Bowman was throwing pretty well. They must not have any confidence in his stuff at the ML level at all.
  17. It's all dependent upon what kind of deal they can get for Jeffers. If it's the kind of deal Don Rickles came up with for the Nazi tank commander in "Kelly's Heroes", then by all means go for it!
  18. Ober, Rojas, and Go get recalibrated for future success. And Cleveland had to throw the best of everything they have at the Twins to beat them. It's a win.
  19. When they picked up the Clemens kid I thought "Now they're really scraping rock bottom". But he can really play obviously and is not intimidated by anyone out there. Guys like Clemens and Kreidler are critical to a team's success.
  20. I watch most of the broadcasts with the sound muted. It's interesting how it has evolved now to a need to fill every second with conversation. I much prefer the understated Herb Carneal days.
  21. Entertaining game, team on the rise, good young starting pitcher going, critical division series - and a whole lot of empty seats.
  22. Include Rodin, lawyers, guns, money, other players, in a blockbuster, surprising, and astonishing trade with the Red Sox to bring back Sonny Gray!
  23. The name mockery in the article is more than a little "junior high". The Twins need to look at all options - as soon as possible. The blown games by the bullpen will haunt them. As another commenter said, it's seems strange the Tigers would let him go. It isn't a high bar to bump one of the pitchers from the bullpen - hopefully he gets it done.
