    Good Morning everyone, Over on my TwinsDaily blog I wrote about Danny Coulombe's dominant start. I would love any comments or feedback you have. Thanks
  2. Chris Hove
    Danny Coulombe is in his second stint with the Twins. He pitched last year with the Baltimore Orioles. Coulumbe was very effective out of that Orioles bullpen, sporting a 2.12 ERA and a 0.67 WHIP over 29 2/3 innings last year. When the Twins re-signed him before this season, they were counting on him being the only lefty in the bullpen so they could use him in any matchup, especially against right-handed hitters. What the Twins have gotten out of Coulombe so far this year is one of the best starts to a season for him, and he also has a nice scoreless streak dating back to last year. Here are some of the incredible stats Coulumbe has put up this year and the latter part of 2024 with the Orioles He has pitched 17 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings over his last 18 appearances, stretching back to last season. Here are some more astonishing stats so far this year. 9 games 7 2/3 INN 27 batters faced 3 hits 0.00 ERA 0.52 WHIP 0.91 OPP BA .130 OPP OBP .136 OPP SLG .145 BAbip (Batting Avg. on Balls in Play) 2-14 VS RHB 1-13 VS LHB This may be a small sample size this year, but Coulombe has been exceptionally good at getting hitters out this season. He's not a big strikeout pitcher, but he mixes speeds well and has a lot of movement on his pitches. Considering Griffin Jax's shaky start, the Twins should explore using Coulombe in higher-leverage spots.

    To add to this great article. Keaschall is the quickest Twin to reach the majors (20 months) from the draft since Matt Garza in 2006 (13 months), LFG

    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?
  10. Chris Hove
    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.
