This might be the most I've enjoyed an in-game interview with a player -
I know it didn't work out completely cleanly, but I love that they let him go out for the 7th. Well done Shelton, well done Taj
-
What a great challenge by Jeffers. Might've bought Bradley another inning
-
Chasing Skubal in the fifth with a string of hits when the inning began with Lee bunting the ball off his own face. Baseball is weird and fun
-
Cold nights like this might push Skubal toward LA over NY
-
Did ... did Lee just hit himself in the face with the bat on a bunt attempt? See, this is why you don't bunt. Too dangerous
-
I gotta say, Wallner's put together some nice ABs the last couple of games. Facing a dominant lefty, attack early in the count and go with the pitch. We can work with this

They must really be afraid of Martin or Roden having to cover CF for even a short spell Would a plausible workaround to that be Roden/Kriedler up, Outman/Clemens down? Roden/Martin platoon in LF, Bell at 1B most days, Larnach at DH most days, Caratini a true backup at C/1B while moonlighting as DH (he'd still play a decent amount), Kriedler primary utility IF while providing cover in CF. I don't think the D we've seen at 1B from Clemens is appreciably any better than Bell, so he becomes unnecessary pretty quickly. Kriedler can't hit but neither can Outman, and at least he provides some positive versatility. I don't see anyone picking up Outman after the start he's had. Clemens might, but that's fine. He isn't doing anything well enough to justify a spot anymore.

Alright Carrot Teenie
-
Outman's batting line or the attendance?
-
I think he's been incredibly consistent with his time in the WBC
-
It's not a drinking problem, it's a drinking solution
-
Honestly, I think it's cuz it hit the mound. That's a dumb and bad reason, but I can't think of a better one
-
The distinction between hit and error has become meaningless
-
But those spring training stats tho
-
Were they both first pitch? Managers should be able to immediately veto their own players' challenges. That could lead to some fun dugout moments
-
Know what's funny/incredibly sad? 2026 Twins w/ RISP: .239/.360/.373/.734 2026 Twins overall: .192/.298/.331/.639 They've been better with RISP than overall. By quite a bit. And they have not really been all that good with RISP
-
The Pohlads requested a built-in excuse for bad attendance figures
-
Man, when Ryan's breaking stuff is on point, he's fun to watch and tough to hit
-
Remember: the FO looked at the roster, saw Topa slotted into a high leverage role, and said, "we're good"
-
Who are you, and what have you done with Byron Buxton
-
Certainly explains the offensive bonanza we're seeing today
-
Harry Doyle: One hit, that's all we got? One goddamn hit? Manager of Dunder Mifflin Albany branch: You can't say goddamn on the air. Doyle: Don't worry, nobody is listening anyway

I can't beat this one, so I'm not even gonna try
