Regardless of the outcome of this game, I cannot fathom why the Twins sign retreads like Garcia. Zero upside. There’s got to be guys in the system who might have a future with the team.

Call me old (because I am) but as a fan, actually watching the game, I do not want to have to be studying obscure metrics to feel like I need them to appreciate or be entertained by what I’m seeing. RBI is (yes a flawed) measure of a player doing the basic thing needed for a team to score runs. I derive pleasure and entertainment from a baseball team executing basics to accumulate runs to hopefully win a game. With my eyes, over the course of many, many seasons, I watched players that can consistently get it done, and others who can’t. So, yeah, RBI matters a lot to me. YMMV

Lewis gotta go. Forget that Jersey Night thing.
-
But what about Outman Jersey Night?
-
Larnach has been used well (appropriately?) and responded this season.
-
Probably fail “broth” then
-
Classic zero-upside, DH only “veteran” signing. Just another flawed approach to roster building for this organization. Only hope was that he started the season hot and would appeal in trade to some competitive team at the deadline. But as recently as last season, “starting out hot”doesn’t appear to apply to Bell. So I ask, why make that signing?

Just the kind of thing we will be used to with this 72-win team.
-
There’s really nothing left to say about (or see from) Wallner. If he’s not sent down for a reset in the next few days, I don’t get it. Problem is, we’ve got too many guys like that who probably shouldn’t be on our ML roster.
-
We don’t need guys like Topa getting creative out there.
-
I don’t think we’ll have “Wheels” Wallner to worry about much longer. He’s bringing nothing, night after night.
-
Another throw away AB from Wallner.
-
It’s not a bad idea to try Sim in the bullpen, but I wouldn’t automatically expect him to be successful there. He just can’t put guys away, whether it’s 1st or 2nd time through the order.
-
My goodness does Bell look bad.
-
Fielding clinic out there tonight
-
Bad JuJu tonight.
-
Morny digging a hole……
-
Ober bringing his Radke stuff….
-
It feels like weeks since Bell has barreled a ball….
-
Larnach covering a lot ground there. He’s been solid .
-
Perez has the looks of a guy who might literally be un-hittable for a game somewhere in his career. That’s a scary arsenal, when it’s on.
-
Nice start for Bailey
-
Said it then, still feel it now: the Varland trade not only made no tactical sense but also came across as a big middle finger to the fanbase.

Absolutely zero reason to sign no upside guys like Garcia. Zero. A competitive team doesn’t have a spot for guys at that stage, non-competitive teams probably should look at the young pitchers in their systems.
