    What's going on with Jax so far this season? He's posting a nice K/BB ratio. Is he tipping his pitches or just off to a slow start?

    I hope we can get at least five innings out of Paddack against this struggling Braves team.

    Yeah, it's tough when you see all of the errors and baserunning gaffes, that's on the players. The lack of talent, cutting of payroll, and players being put into the wrong situations, that's ownership and management issues. Unfortunately, with the Pohlads, these problems have been around for many years. Hopefully, the Twins can get something going and spark some positivity.

    Byron Buxton is transforming back to the young Byron Buxton. Yeah, he's only hitting .215 with an OBP of .261 and two walks, but when on base, it's more than likely that he'll come around and score. He's been on base 20 times this season and has scored 15 runs, which is a (75%) clip. The Twins' offense has gained a dynamic edge with Byron Buxton's increased aggressiveness on the basepaths. His ability to pick up extra bases often feels like a guaranteed run, a dimension unseen by fans in recent memory. However, this exhilarating style has unfortunately led to knee injuries and soreness. The team currently faces a balancing act, needing Buck's presence on the bases for the high probability of scoring.

    Yunior Severino has been in Triple-A for part of 2023, and all of 2024. He started 2025 in St. Paul. He was the Minor League Player of The Year in 2023 clubbing 35 homeruns in both Double-A Wichita and Triple-A St. Paul, and then followed that up with 21 homeruns last year strictly in Triple-A St. Paul. He does strike out a lot but has managed to maintain a career .266 batting average and has major power potential. He was once a top-30 prospect but has now completely dropped off. Anyone know what has happened to him? He can play corner infield, mostly first base. Seems like there's no trust.

    Luke Keaschall has been called up tonight and will be in Atlanta for tomorrow's game. Where do we see him primarily playing? This call up has pumped some excitement into the team and added some much needed depth with the uncertainty of Willi Castro and Carlos Correa. Keaschall can handle the bat and provides some much needed speed for the Twins. What is everyone's thoughts on this move?

    Finally some excitement for this team. Should see him a lot at second base. Hope his stay is a long one!!!!

    I would personally like to see Emmanuel Rodriguez get a shot. He needs to improve his hitting against lefties, but we thought the same thing with Wallner, and he seems to be figuring it out. Rodriguez is a manageable fielder with plus speed. Also, Luke Keaschall should be called up. Move Lee to 2nd, Keaschall and Julien to 2nd, and another player worth watching temporarily would be Ryan Fitzgerald, who's with the Saints. He plays SS and is an average hitter. I think the Twins would have called him up already if they wanted him; he's also not on the 40-man roster.
