  1. The should bring somebody up. I don't understand the point of having Cole Sands on the roster if you aren't going to pitch him.
  2. No Correa again. He must really be hurting. I wonder if he is next on the DL.
  3. Like many others it was my dad. He always had the game on the radio, WNAX out of Yankton. I fell in love to the Twins listening to Herb Carneal and John Gordon. Kent Hrbek was my favorite player. Often in the summer dad, my sister and I would go fishing in the evenings and him and I would listen to the game on the radio and my sister would wonder off somewhere and it always seemed like she could more fish then the both of us put together! Good times
  4. I think keuchel has a small roll on this team. I don't think anybody believes that he is a lights out pitcher. Maybe....just maybe ...the twins can catch lightning in a bottle and use him for 6-8 starts and have him eat 30-45 innings out of the starting rotation and skip/rest the other 5 pitchers in the rotation to make sure they are fresh for the rest of the yr/playoffs. A month or 6 weeks from now he gets released with some heartfelt thanks for a job well done and everybody moves on. Or maybe they keep him for bullpen veteran exp. But it seems to me he is on borrowed time at the big league level with the twins.
  5. I can't wait to see Lewis in with this offense now that it's started to click. He will be huge for this team once he gets back thru the end of the yr.
  6. This team to me has the feel of the 1987 team. I'm not sure why, but it does. Maybe bc both of them had/have given plenty of reasons why they would lose.
  7. The L & L boys! Altho it doesn't have the same ring to it ....
  8. After he hits a couple of grand slams and they bring in the right hander we can smoothly substitute Julien for him.
  9. No Kepler. Hope is foot is okay and that when he comes back to the lineup he can pick up where he left off and doesn't go into one of his post injury slumps.
  10. I have scrapbooks from when I was just a wee lad from when they won in 87 and 91 Mostly made from the Argus Leader news stories. My mom put them together for me bc I never missed a game on the radio. They are pretty cool
  11. The Wallner fan club is growing by the day! This young man can play! If he keeps this up I can't believe when Lewis/Buxton comes off of the DL that Gallo keeps his spot.
  12. Enjoyed the Interview!
  13. You missed the joke.....I think 🤔 Michael Taylor has 14 hr, his career best is 19, the author mentioned that, but then said he was 4 HR away from tying his career best. Another poster caught it and mentioned it and Mr. Braun said he was a history major. I was trying to give him a math problem using MAT HR totals in the equation using history to help out. It was tongue in cheek but the best I had.
  14. So.... In 1914 King Ferdinand was assassinated which led to WWI By 1919 WWI was over. How many years later was that? (I know it was 1918 but the joke doesn't work otherwise).
  15. I am not buying argument 2 or 3. Maybe I am misreading the intent but I feel the combination of those two points is basically the very best this team can do is win the weakest division in baseball, or this team is so pathetic that it doesn't make sense to improve it. I don't believe either of those things. This team could have been improved on for a playoff run. Thielbar is back, Lewis is scheduled for rehab assignment next week. Hopefully Brock Stewart MRI reveals nothing serious and we have him back by Sept. Those 3 players are good and can really help this team. This team is a good team, anything can happen in the playoffs, but if Buck and C4 and Vasquez don't produce, this team won't reach it's full potential.
  16. The ERA is good. His FIP I believe is 4.11. That doesnt mean everything of course but it does point to him being lucky.
  17. I think they should trade Kenta. Sonny Gray's bulldog mentality is what you want should you make the playoffs. And if you don't make the playoffs, you put qualifying offer on him, and he doesn't walk for nothing. Besides you only need 4 starters in the playoffs and Gray, Lopez, Ryan, and Ober are pretty good.
  18. Man, I can't hardly imagine a more dominant bullpen than Duran, Hader, Jax, a healthy Stewart, Thielbar, JB, with Floro and Pagan (in low level situations only) with the starters we have. I would put that pitching staff against anyone. If the offense is merely average, that's a team that should win a lot of games.
  19. Honestly, how many games in a row have we won in a row in the royals?? Can't win every game. We had our best pitcher with the game on the line. It didnt work out. Get em tomorrow.
  20. Yeah .....about that..... But he has been surprisingly steady I will say that
  21. Polanco is taking reps at third in ST Paul so Julian can stay with the big club when he returns. It was on mlbtraderumors
  22. I feel like this is the Twins version of Major League. Glad this team is finding ways to win instead of ways to lose. You can see the confidence growing and the guys coming together game by game.
  23. Before the all star break this game is not winnable for this team. Happy they pulled it out. It is beyond me how anybody makes contact on Duran.
  24. I believe it was Sunday during the TV broadcast that Bremer said Rocko was asked why Kepler wasn't in center and Rocko said that his defense was so good in right, management didn't want to mess with it by putting Kep in center. Maybe Rocko was just protecting one of his players but I am curious where the Kepler refuses to play center comes from.
