  1. 1. that happens a lot; a few more days to see if Wallner stayed hot, is all we were asking for 2. Solano played 2B for the Giants in 2021. If the Twins don't want Solano playing second base, or getting any at bats, then what should they do with him? I think there's your solution. 3 and 4 - all depends on who is writing the line up card! Maybe all these lineups and transactions are being spit out by a spreadsheet after all... 🙂
  2. Leave Kepler on the IL for longer Option Julien, play Solano at 2B cut De Leon Pagan to IL to keep a spot for Wallner These are the top four obvious moves to me, but there may be others they could have done.
  3. Cody, if you paused and used your imagination, I think you could come up with several corresponding moves that would have made more sense. The corresponding move does not have to be permanent, it only has to help make the team better for a short time until another move is needed.
  4. (Trigger warning) Royce Lewis did in his first game back what Carlos Correa hasn’t done in his entire time here—get a huge hit when the Twins most needed it!
  5. Kepler had some run in center field in 2019 after Buxton went down, and then Kepler started 19 games in center in 2021. I can only guess that they asked Kepler and he said no, or they didn’t ask at all. Playing Kepler in center for a short time would have allowed Wallner to remain in right field against some right handed starters this week and see if his bat stayed hot. It’s just an idea, and not a bad one, in my opinion.
  6. Ok, thanks. I was misinformed by the internet. This article says arm. https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/twins-emilio-pagan-suffers-apparent-arm-injury/
  7. Thanks. Missed most of the game today (José Berríos, too many nerves, nice day and other things to do) but yeah if Pagan left the game with an arm injury today, that seems like a no-brainer 10 day IL stint that can be made right after the game.
  8. These are the talking points, I get it, but let's start asking questions. I like Wallner, so maybe I'm biased, but wouldn't you do these moves before optioning down Wallner today? Extend Kepler's stay on the IL a little longer Option Julien Option Castro (sounds like he earned it today) de Leon Pagan to IL So Kepler is ready. Great. Is there a good reason Kepler can't play center in the Houston series in Houston, and let Wallner play right?
  9. Looks like Ober’s velocity went from 92-93 in the first inning down to 90 by the time he left after the fifth. Hopefully nothing to be worried about.
  10. Ok because it’s what I do, here’s the other shoe: i really really really think they need to drop a pitcher. I would have kept up Wallner and dropped De Leon, who pitched two innings today, and can’t/won’t/shouldn’t be used in the next series anyway.
  11. Great news on the Royce Lewis front:
  12. Someday I’d like to meet one of these players with zero tools!
  13. Setting aside matchups and bullpen planning game-to-game, there is also the effect over time on the bullpen of pulling your starters in the 5th and 6th, like we have seen recently (and most of last season), versus the 6th and 7th like the early part of the season. So, we shall see. I feel like I have seen this movie before. For today, probably won’t matter either way!
  14. Like last Sunday, Lopez might be in a position to go 7 today. Pitch count is ok
