Thanks for the clarification. Honestly, I'm surprised our ranking is that good in the LOB department. I would have guessed that we were near the bottom. Of course it would help if we put MORE men on base to start with.

A stocky but strapping switch-hitter, Lee entered professional baseball as a shortstop. I've never seen Lee in the flesh, but he doesn't strike me as stocky. That aside, I've been pleasantly surprised as to how well he as adapted at a new position and performed this season. There is hope yet.

The culprit is our old nemesis: runners left on base.

I read on another site about his release, but I didn't realize he had already hooked up with the Pirates. Best of luck to him.

Calling all doctors ... what's the real verdict on Buxton's current health situation? Can he play at a productive level this month even with these "hip issues" ? And if so, does that mean DH only duty?
-
The Twins have a VERY good bunch of arms slated for the starting rotation next season, with or without Joe Ryan, but I would hesitate to call it a dominant rotation. Cross your fingers in regards to injuries, but we ARE looking good going forward. As to whether or not there will be a 2027 season, that's another issue.

I think I saw that word in a Dez Limerick novel recently.

Veteran German Marquez was charged with six runs on six hits (including two home runs) over the first six innings. However, just two of the runs were earned thanks to three errors by infielders. I'd almost forgotten that the Twins had signed Marquez last month. Doesn't he have some sort of out clause if he's not called up by a certain date?

I love seeing players like Merphy Hernandez stealing bases. Doesn't seem like it's a skill that the modern stat guys care for all that much, but I still like to see speed on the base paths.

MacPhail believes the organization is starting to see the benefits of that approach. “We are starting to see the fruits of that labor of these athletic players that are very routine oriented, have really solid swings, they have twitch, and can play defense.” They have twitch? Man, yet another new baseball skill I wasn't aware of! But if they can play solid defense, you've sold me!

Ah, I can vaguely remember when complete games were a thing!

Matt Canterino was sent with the Cedar Rapids Kernels to South Bend to rehab. An actual Canterino sighting! Hope he is finally fully healthy and ready to throw some pitches.

Great to read about the old Twins teams from the past. I was all of 2 years old in 1961, but thanks to my grandfather (who held several jobs in the major and minor leagues over the years) I had plenty of baseball cards from those early to mid 1960s Twins teams, so the names were all familiar to me. Later, when I was a bit older, I could at least attend Twins games in spring training where they played in my hometown of Orlando. Great memories of those teams and players, including Jim Kaat, Mudcat Grant, and of course the great Tony Oliva.

Yandy Diaz would be a huge upgrade, but that ain't gonna happen.

I like Bell a lot too. He has been an RBI machine most of this season, plus I like the vibe he brings to the team, plus that much-valued "veteran influence," which some may scoff at, but I think it DOES help the team overall. Does that warrant bringing him back next season? Maybe. It all depends on our options. Guys like Lee and Clemons might have a few years in the league, but I don't think they truly qualify as vets.

But that was a magical sentence. Thank you!

I, for one, am all in favor of bringing back Oscar Gamble hairstyles!
-
You gotta play him somewhere, and he's too young and athletic to consign him to a DH role, so maybe left field IS the answer.
-
Who are these mystery people? I can't recall ANY positive comments about the short-lived Sano experience in right field.
-
I'd never heard of him until this season, but obviously he's putting up good numbers in recent months. As others have noted, he will need to work on conditioning if he wants to stay on the prospect radar.

Hey, that's baseball. I approved of the deadline trades that the Twins made. I only regret that we didn't get rid of Larnach at the deadline. Never a sure thing how this stuff will work out. You always have to factor in injuries and lackluster performance by some of the regulars too. That said. we still have about 5 weeks left to play and good things still COULD happen. I'm not giving up yet.

I don't have any serious issues or disagreement with the organization overall. Sure, the front office's decisions can often be frustrating and/or maddening, but I think the Twins are still a very solid organization.
