    In hindsight, they should've challenged that bang-bang play at first on Fedko's debut in Texas. Thought he looked safe. They showed his mom right before that pleading for a hit. 🙃 Anyway, hope he keeps his head up. He did come up big taking third on the walk-off win against the Rockies. And he's got an RBI (against a position player haha). He'll always have that... Sounds like a fun night at the ballpark!

    I felt very seen and got a chuckle out of a tweet saying that the Varland, Jax, Duran combo would've lost this game. I believe it... This pen is always going to be an adventure and work in progress, but outside of the near disaster against Colorado, has been pretty solid the past couple weeks. Props!

    Attention, TD crew: there’s still room on the Kody Clemens is an All-Star Bandwagon. Leaving the station soon though. Hop on!
  4. Saxophone Joe
    I get the frustration but I'm so over this talking point. What if we don't pick up Kody and Kreidler though? What if Lou was still pitching for the Twins but got hit by a liner on his pitching hand on April 15? So on and so forth. Sh*t happens. Let's move forward. The bullpen is holding its own right now. And, hey everyone - this team as constructed has the chance to be in first place by the All-Star break!

    Trevor Plouffe: "He should be an All-Star." Whose word do I take?🤣
  6. Saxophone Joe
    For what it's worth, per Aaron Gleeman, Shelton said Jeffers will be in Triple A for "at least the next three or four days."
  7. Saxophone Joe
    I dunno. Probably giving Fedko a chance to start in CF since we're facing a lefty tonight. Bring up Jeffers and platoon Kreidler/Roden in CF until Buck comes back. Hope you're all ready for more Tristan Gray (I think I'm his lone supporter on here). Unless they decide to bring Arcia back up.
  8. Saxophone Joe
    True. In any event, he's just a couple hours away. They could call him up any day now.
  9. Saxophone Joe
    My guess is he's back right after the break Fedko's days are numbered...that would give Jeffers and the Twins 3 weeks to showcase him before the deadline.
  10. Saxophone Joe
    How do they go about replacing starters? Wonder if Kody Clemens is a potential replacement (not as a starter, of course)? Gotta imagine Shelton has some sway since he's on the coaching staff.
  11. Saxophone Joe
    Well, at least more than he has 🤷‍♂️
  12. Saxophone Joe
    Saw this coming after he left the game Sunday, but yeah, a bummer. Hopefully it's a quick IL stint - miss only six games but get 11 or so days off. But this lineup is strong enough to still have a winning series, and I'm looking forward to seeing Roden. And maybe this means Fedko can finally get that first hit;)

    I remember Vic hit his first homer in over a month in his first game starting in Jeffers’ place back in May. Was a sign of things to come apparently. Love watching him handle the pitchers & his fist pumps into his glove when he likes what he sees 👊🏼
  14. Saxophone Joe
    Fully anticipating some (many!) thumbs down for this, but I like what Tom Pohlad has done so far, given how late he came into the job. I think he gets it. Now, full disclosure: I have no clue what the best route to take is at the moment. But, you know, Tom said in spring training that this team was going to be competitive. Most fans (and Twins beat writers, podcasters, etc.) snickered and rolled their eyes. 90 games in, he's largely been proven right.

    Andrew Morris has flat out been huge for this team - key roles in a bunch of wins lately, Saved the season with the 10th inning performance against Colorado & came up clutch in all 3 appearances this week, Cool customer. Bright future!
  16. Saxophone Joe
    But like the man says:
  17. Saxophone Joe
    Gotcha, yeah, makes sense. That whole sequence was weird, followed by Bell’s oppo single that was almost a homer/robbed.
  18. Saxophone Joe
    Did he try to steal earlier in Kody’s at-bat? I forget…but the fact that Austin didn’t try going from third made me wonder if Buxton went on his own.
  19. Saxophone Joe
    Also, I was tough on Joe after his last start, He showed me. A masterclass in getting ahead in the count. Bravo 👏
  20. Saxophone Joe
    Team 4.3%ers feeling pretty good right now! Hats off to Shelty’s Grinders. 9-3 in our last two road trips, all against potential playoff teams, is super impressive. Huge homestand coming up, likely without Buck.
  21. Saxophone Joe
    💯. Kody has been clutch time & time again since we acquired him. We’ve all seen him take it to the next level this season. Look those numbers up🙌🏼
  22. Saxophone Joe
    Eh, I'm not getting bogged down in analytics. Dude is an All-Star!
  23. Saxophone Joe
  24. Saxophone Joe
    So, a couple weeks back, I was scoffed at by a TD member for suggesting Kody Clemens was playing at an All-Star level. Identify yourself!!🤣
  25. Saxophone Joe
    BTW the Kreidler cool off comes with the package. He’ll turn it around 👊🏼
