    The Padres have already said they won't move Miller despite the media acting like they will. I'd rather focus on actually possible trades like trying to get Soriano from the Angels or even a Senzatela from the Rockies. Both would be major upgrades that actually feel realistic

    They had Rojas warming up this inning, so they're probably going to have Rojas close the game out, putting both of them in the same spot most likely

    those pesky 2 out cubs!

    15 day IL, so he can't be reactivated until the 24th

    perhaps a bullpen game? Paredes and Rojas could probably theoretically go 3-4 each if efficient, though they shouldn't send Paredes out for another inning today if that's the case

    Amazing job working around that leadoff triple, striking out the next 3. Definitely a nice reset after not pitching for nearly 2 weeks

    Wouldn't it make more sense to drop Adams instead of Go? I guess the fear is that he's already out of options and as a younger arm, he could be taken, but the argument is that Go would also need to be cut too, so you're really stuck in the same spot but with different guys and it's still too soon to really say Go wouldn't work while Adams has had plenty of opportunity across these last two seasons to find his groove and just hasn't really worked as well as hoped. The question can be put off a bit longer as the wait for Sands is nearing an end, maybe let both Adams and Go get opportunities these next couple series and see how the two both do in those positions and then you can judge from that.

    The pitching staff is definitely the biggest question mark heading into the second half. Offensively they've been a pretty solid team, defensively they've had serviceable guys and some questionable guys but now that quite a few have settled into new roles it's been "better." If they were to try and target some guys at the trade deadline to really patch the questionable spots, the question would really be what are you willing to part with? is it worth shopping off some decent high minors options to see if you can find a really good SP/RP even if he's a rental in a potential postseason year that looks a little too questionable? Do you try and package Jeffers and hope that Caratini and Jackson can maintain their efficiency in the second half? Do you see if you can get anything worthwhile from the more questionable bullpen pieces like Adams even if it risks more questions about their pitching staff?

    On Ober's day, they could've at least sent him out for the two inning role rather than Rojas. Rojas had just been recalled while it would've been the day Paredes started had Ober not been reactivated, so it would've made sense to let him get some work so he's not resting too long. Now it's been over a week AND we have the all star break.

    It's still odd they didn't use him at all this series, he hasn't pitched in over a week at this point, it was weird they didn't send him in to piggyback ober, and it's odd they hadn't used him this series in any way.

    probably the 2nd best trade of last year with the best one being the Bader one. Bradley has been great and the loss off Jax haven't been as bad, If Bradley stays like how he has this year across his remaining time the twins control him(unless they extend him) it will be an amazing deal. still though, the Bader trade for Mendez feels like it's the one that will biggest fleece the team could've made last year if Mendez can mash in the majors like he has with the Saints

    There are absolutely trades the twins can make that wouldn't end up sacrificing much. Even on the Major League level, even a guy like Cody Lawyerson, who fans might argue isn't really a guy the twins plan on being a major player for the foreseeable future, could probably net something(he was claimed on waivers last year by the angels before coming back here, so there are teams that could probably think they can work with a guy like him). Plenty of teams will absolutely take chances on debatably major league level talent for holes the twins might want to fill like their bullpen. The Rockies just did this trading away Angel Chivilli, who had a 7+ERA last year as a relief pitcher to get TJ RUMFIELD. The twins have areas where they have lots of guys in high minors all fighting for spots they aren't a top priority. If people are imagining a world where Jenkins, Rodriguez and Buxton are the primary outfielders, what does that say about the other like 5 outfielders in St. Paul who are all playing well enough to potentially be seen as big leaguers? I bet there is even a team that'd take a Kyler Fedko if they think they can unlock that last level for him. Don't have to trade the whole farm for holes the twins want to fill, but I'm saying there are definitely pieces the twins could probably test the market with that wouldn't make a huge dent in their prospect pool or their major league roster.

    Just an annoying one, Yankees only had 2 opportunities with RISP and managed to get 5 runs. Twins had 12 and couldn't get anything done
  14. mrguy
    think orze might be the next one to go
  15. mrguy
    wind stops pushing the ball out right when the twins start hitting it towards right...
  16. mrguy
    another 3-2 paredes start with Funderburk up to pitch... getting some deja vu
  17. mrguy
    got a lot of whiff that inning and would've had 2 strikeouts that inning if they challenged that close one against mcmahon, but oh well. would've been a nicer outing overall if not for the 2 out unlucky break in the 3rd
  18. mrguy
    not fundy...
  19. mrguy
    they're probably going to have Paredes go for 5 no matter what happens
  20. mrguy
    well, they at least got one back, this is still a very winnable game
  21. mrguy
    at least got one back
  22. mrguy
    well if cole is coming out for the 4th apparently, the twins could probably take advantage of the delay
  23. mrguy
    would've been a quick inning too if not for the unfortunate bounce off the bag, it's just kind of spiraled after that
  24. mrguy
    now the bounce off the base is even more unfortunate
  25. mrguy
    would've been a quick 1-2-3, unfortunately it hit the bag
