  1. Cut Jackson, lose three in a row. Bring back Jackson and they’re back in the win column.
  2. 80 wins might be enough for the last wild card spot
  3. Caden Kendle is batting .400 in Wichita…..
  4. So Kreidler in LF. Yuck.
  5. Aaron Sabato would have been interesting. Better than Victor Caratini at 1B vs LHP.
  6. Yes, this means they think Austin Jackson is a better RH platoon bat than Gonzalez. They’re probably right about that, Gonzalez is not hitting in AAA. Caratini shouldn’t be playing 1B vs LHP. Kreidler shouldn’t be playing in the outfield at all. I would probably start Kreidler at 2B, bat him 9th and pinch hit Clemens for him as soon as possible. That means starting Jackson in LF vs LHP and replacing him with Larnach ASAP.
  7. Fedko is out for the season with a knee injury
  8. Three - Wallner, Gonzalez and Rodriguez Edit: Sorry, Four with Mendez
  9. But all of that only applies to Jenkins. They can call up Emmanuel Rodriguez without worrying about any of that. Beats the hell out of playing Ryan Kreidler in the outfield.
  10. So, what is the lineup vs LHP? OF - Clemens, Buxton, Keaschall IF - Lee, Culpepper, Lewis, Caratini C - Jeffers; DH - Bell Do they swap in Kreidler in LF, playing him in a bat-first position just because he stands in the batters box on the left side of home plate? When do Roden and Jackson get any playing time?
  11. Is Jackson going to actually play in the outfield? He seems like 10th on the depth chart for outfielders. Is Roden or Larnach going to get the playing time vs LHP? What a weird move.
  12. I expect they will try Wallner at DH to start 2027. He’s out of options and this franchise hates giving players away.
  13. True. Buxton has a career 1 for 7 line in the postseason with 4K and 0BB. His playoff record is a mix of unavailable and unproductive.
  14. What a brilliant suggestion. Practices. I don’t know why nobody thought of that before. What do you think the team does every day before the game begins. Do you think they’re sitting in the clubhouse playing PlayStation?
  15. There are a lot of intangibles that led to Hrbek getting his number retired. Buxton doesn’t have any of those intangibles. I have seen Hrbek’s name on lists of the ten worst players with an MLB retired number.
  16. The face of a team that won one playoff series.
  17. Six teams chasing the last spot gives them one in six odds. They need Joe Ryan to pitch like he can at his best and Buxton to hit like he can at his best. If the stars play like scrubs they’re doomed.
  18. “Top 50 prospects” almost never matter.
  19. “There's little value in carrying a full-time DH who is merely a good (as opposed to very good, or great) hitter” This is why Bell needs to go.
  20. Keaschall has the same athletic tools as Austin Martin. He should be able to become an adequate left fielder. The Twins need to find a new team for Larnach and let Bell leave as a free agent. That will give them enough room to play their many outfield prospects next season.
  21. The clock struck midnight and Dean Kremer turned back into Dean Kremer. It was fun to watch while it lasted. Emmanuel Rodriguez might actually be healthy at the right time for a change.
  22. They are 1.5 games back with 37 games remaining. Teams have closed larger gaps than that before.
  23. Nobody stops people from going off topic to grind their favorite ax, but they post different articles to spark different conversations. Some people forget that and spam every article with the same posts.
  24. He’s a Tristan Gray level player, maybe a little better. Good to have for minor league depth when he can he optioned.
