Agreed! But, gosh darn, I do love an underdog!

As the purveyor of unpopular player opinions, I’ve really been enjoying Kreidler since his call up!

Fixed it for you 😉

Hopefully they’re just being cautious after that hit by pitch Friday.

It’s nice to see that the Sox have at least one uniform with Red on it.

I’ve got a crippling toothache that can only be cured by a Twins Sweep! Or, at least it would distract me for a few hours…

Best pen in baseball, I always say! 😉

I seem to recall Jerry Reed having a song for Larnach…

Taj spectacular in his return! Glad to have him back like he never left

I hate to rub it in, but boy howdy are you!

I meant shoving Clemens off the base. The smack at home was, while hardly kosher, to be expected. But I don’t think there was any need to do that to Kody.

Getting dirty… I don’t like this Contreras fellow one bit.

It’s nice to see another ball club that has to resort to cobbling together a game from half a dozen different pitchers. It was starting to get lonely…

I was wondering when they were going to do a fully choreographed walk to the plate…

Oh Taj, how I have missed you! Here’s hoping for another Twins Win today!

Glad to see Arcia is finally getting a chance in the lineup! I want to see what he can do over a full game, not just after coming in to pinch! And glad that Buck is back in the field! The Garcia DFA was some nice news to hear this afternoon. The article I read said he'd only had nine appearances over 8 2/3rd innings for us... It sure felt like a lot more!

I firmly believe letting Buxton go would be a slap in the face. If he wants to leave, that's one thing, but if he's willing to stay then keep him. Not apples to apples, but in my mind it would be like when they let Rod Carew go to the Angels. Buxton is Twins Baseball to so many fans, whether serious or casual. Ryan while good, I don't the loss would break the team. Since Lopez should be back next year, and with quite a few promising younger faces in the starting lineup (Bradley, Abel, Prielipp), Ryan has enough value to make it worth considering. I'd hope we would keep Ober - considering what he could do to the Marlins even with a diminished velocity, I think he can still pack a punch. To me, Jeffers is the obvious goodbye. Is he an amazing catcher? Yes. Does he add some serious value to the team both offensively and defensively? Duh. As much as it hurts to say, that's the problem. He's probably too good for where the Twins are right now. He has the skills to be on a World Series team, and that's not something that I think will happen for us. Bell is one that I think should be seriously considered. If we can get something good for him, let him go. As fun as our "For Whom The Bell Tolls" rallying cry is, we could trade him out for pretty much any streaky first basemen with similar results. And I think a younger model would come with some pluses. Martin is one we need to try and keep. While he's been struggling recently (minus last night's GLORIOUS home run!), when he's hot he's HOT. I'd rather keep the almost guaranteed single/double in the lineup. I don't know how much value Lee has for trade, and I think it's too early in the season for me to say anything concretely. He's pretty solid infielding, but yes, the batting is streaky at best. I don't know how much value he has, but if no one is willing to snap him up, I don't think keeping him is going to kill our chance of competing. Larnach seems like another obvious one for me, especially since he's doing better. As another comment mentioned, we have young guys that we could bring up to take his spot, and I think we should jump on that. The Twins have always been a farm club, let's see what that crop can yield!

What an exciting game to watch! Never doubted them for a second 😅

If he could just keep them in the zone, he’d be perfect!

For a man who isn't the power hitter, hell of a hit from Martin!

Unfortunately, where Tolle had a bad inning and shaped up, Prielipp had a bad inning and has stayed struggling... Hopefully just an off night for the rook!

Alright, Prielipp! Let's just do a couple dozen more of that!

If Keaschall swung, then Sogard swung at that second throw!

Nice having a catcher with a quick throw! As you guys know, I'm a Caratini fan, but he's got a slooooow arm...
