What an irritating loss. Ugly bullpen performance. And Lee. That defense is unacceptable. Only 21 games into the season and his "defense" has allowed way too many baserunners to reach or advance. If he's going to be a SS, he needs to clean it up a lot. Get him some more practice in St Paul and send Culpepper over to Target Field and see what he can do.

Loved the 9th inning comeback attempt. They didnt give up. The defense needs to tighten up. A lot. Short memory. We have Ryan going on Friday. Gonna be a fun game. Go Twins!

What a start from Abel. Buck starting to heat up. Another HR from Lee. Needs to clean up the defense, but the bat is looking better so far. Let's see if we can bring out the brooms tomorrow! Go Twins!

Chased the Cy Young winner last week and now the runner up tonight with an impressive offensive showing. Ober looked better tonight. Home run to Durran was really the only blemish during an otherwise decent outing. Hoping Abel can have another good game and we can get after Sonny! Go Twins!
-
Rough start for Taj and he still held them to just 1 run. Very nice to see. Lees bat is working for now, but that defense is not great. Needs to make more plays. Gray second on the team for RBIs. I was surprised when he made the team out of spring training over Kriedler, seems im finding out why. Another tough pitcher tomorrow. Let's get after Crochett and keep Ws coming! Go Twins!

Great win! Nice to see Lee's bat coming to life a bit. He's going to need to keep it up if he wants to keep Culpepper in St Paul. I'd like to see Buxton and Keaschall get going here, too. Let's get after Max tomorrow! Go Twins!

Havent been impressed with Outmans play at all. Its unfortunate, because he seems like a really good locker room guy. But if they do decide to replace him, a guy like Kreidler is really the only option at AAA. Anyone else is either not as good defensively or would need to play everyday.
-
Much needed quality start from Abel. Great to see it! Really helped to give most of the bullpen the day off. Hasnt been much good from Lee yet this year. Nice at bat to drive in a couple runs when it was needed. Let's get after Corbin tomorrow and keep the streak going! Go Twins!

Much better showing from Ober this time around. If he can do that every time hes on the mound, I think the team would be very pleased. 1st Skubal now Valdez? Incredible. Last time out Abel got 2 strikes on a lot of hitters, but couldn't finish them off. Here's hoping he can start getting those Ks and we get after Flaherty today! Go Twins!

Very nice win! Only the 4th time in the last 2 season Skubal hasn't finished 5 innings. Taj with another great start! I absolutely loved that he was sent out in the 7th with what is currently called a "high pitch count". I really hope that trend continues. Let's get after Valdez the same way tonight! Go Twins!
-
How long does Outman have before he's out, man? Lee does not look good in the field. Ryan seemed rattled after his misplay. But overall, a nice win! Maybe some bats are starting to wake up?! Let's get after Skubal tonight and make it 2 in a row!

Abel got 2 strikes often but doesn't seem to have a pitch to put away hitters MLB yet. Too often they worked the count full and got on base. He only has around 50 innings pitched in the majors. Still plenty of time for him to figure it out. This ABS challenge needs to go. Just do the electronic strike zone and get it over with. Unfortunately, I feel like the league figured out Outman and he isn't going to adjust. The team has already moved on from Julien and Miranda, and they had far more success in the majors than Outman has. His defense isn't even good. Larnach and Bell in the field is about as ugly as it gets. Yikes!

I was at the game today. Very fun game to watch. Ober definitely battled. He didn't have his best stuff. Wallner, it was tough to watch those at bats. Ouch. Gray had himself a game, thats for sure. He may very well be the starting SS soon if he keeps playing like he has been. It was fun watching baseball in the rain. Although, I've never seen a game continue to played after lightning strikes. Go Twins!

Losing Pablo is a huge blow to the team. Nit just for his on field work, but hes a great team guy and clubhouse presence. Hopefully he'll be around often as a cheerleader and maybe help "coach" a little. That aside, it is exciting that we'll get to see a prospect have a chance to step up. Abel has the tools necessary to be an ace. Taj and Zebby have #2/3 potential. There is potential for a top 10, Maybe top 5, starting rotation if everyone plays how they should.
-
I think with experience, he will improve. He has less than, what, 900 ABs at this point? I would attribute last season to maybe a sophomore slump? Now we need to find out if he can adjust or not. The tools are there. The power is there. Just need to put it all together now.
-
Im all for trading Larnach. He is redundant on this team. However, if we're adding a pitcher, I'd prefer just signing Giolito. He seems to be better than any of the options listed.
-
If it were my choice, none of this would ever happen. I dont have the words to explain how maddening it was to watch a pitcher throwing a great game, with a low pitch count in the 5th and he got pulled from the game. Scheduled or not. The analytics are fine to a point but sometimes you just gotta let these guys pitch if they're having a great day. A manager needs to be able to make that choice, to leave a pitcher in the game when hes in the zone. It even happened to Joe and Pablo.
-
Isn't that the Twins way? Sign a down player and hope for a rebound. Can easily be released if he doesn't hit in ST.
-
Now bring in Nick Castellanos on a Minor League deal with invitation to ST. Keep the pitchers coming. Odds are a few will work out!
-
Here's hoping his arm is healed and he has another great season in him.

Self imposed or not, the team is in a difficult spot. When Tom took over, Falvey was still making moves. Turns out they were trying to go in different directions. Now Falvey is gone, but with the timing of it all, there weren't many free agents available that would have filled holes. Over paying for the questionable bullpen arms that were/are left wouldn't genuinely excite the fan base and they shouldn't sign a player for the sake of making a move. Ill give them the benefit of the doubt for now. See how things proceed from here. What young players step up and prove they belong and hopefully next season (or possibly the trade dealine) they'll be prepared to make exciting moves to actually strengthen the teams nucleus and not just the margins.

Best catcher left on the market after Realmuto signed earlier today. It is an interesting signing. Leaves me wondering how the roster will look come opening day.
-
95 OPS+ to finish up last season. Possibly the best defensive SS we have now? Idk, trying to find positives
-
No. He can't play above average, or even average, shortstop anymore. That is the only infield position we need backup for. The rest are all covered.
