  1. Luis Arraez grounded into a double play in a high leverage spot, and Pablo Lopez didn’t even get into the game! And Tommy Herr and Tom Brunansky are both retired!
  2. Oh, definitely, I agree. Too many things could go wrong, too many secondary injuries possible, not to mention Correa may not be all he is cracked up to be as a clubhouse leader. After the medicals raised concerns, the Mets still offered 6/157, for some reason. I have to wonder if a Correa injury was even insurable by that point. Yet the Twins ripped up that 6/157 and gave him 6/200 guaranteed. yikes.
  3. Why stop with October? Why wouldn't Correa be a threat in November? You think he's gonna post an 0-fer in Games 5, 6 and 7 of the World Series? 🤣
  4. Kudos to Nash Walker and Stringer Bell who proposed Miranda over Steer as a possible trade candidate at this time last season https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/is-josé-miranda-a-deadline-trade-candidate-r12506/ @Nash Walker @stringer bell It seems really clear to me that Miranda just needed some run at DH and an occasional day off. Miranda was in a bad state and in my opinion is was just plain wrong to continue sending him out to third base during his plate struggles, day after day. We talk about people, managers, whoever, who have a feel for the game, and people who don't. I think what Miranda needed was a pat on the shoulder, not punishment. A couple days in the dugout to observe and clear his mind. AAA is not the place for that. He's not a lost cause. He will be back at some point. Oh yeah, Mahle.
  5. For people who think Jerry Layne had a horrible night, you might be right— but compared to some other home plate umps last night he was actually pretty good. There were terrible ball/strike calls all across the league last night. Just follow the link. It’s sad. The best response to the impending electronic strike zone is that human umpires step up their game and put it off indefinitely but unfortunately that has not been happening.
  6. I think the truth about Pablo Lopez is that he’s just a good pitcher, nothing more, definitely not flirting with Ace status. He has actually had trouble staying healthy for a full season, so first things first. I get this is a fan site, but I think Twins Daily writers fail when they fail to set realistic expectations. I do expect Sonny Gray to continue pitching well, and I am going to enjoy the Joe Ryan ride for as long as it lasts. He looks pretty sound. I do feel like Rocco is removing Gray from starts too soon and I wonder if there are some mind games happening. That kind of thing does happen. I also think it’s a little odd that Lopez was the main guy behind the fishing vest thing. He should be doing pitcher stuff, not hitter stuff!. 🙂 Good pitching will continue to keep them in games.
  7. Missed yesterdays game, came tonight for the Royce Lewis and just got me some Royce Lewis down the left field line, so peace out yall
  8. Interesting to see Mariners, Guardians and Tigers (wtf) all among the best ERA teams. The Twins have those teams in heavy rotation in. June/ July in think
  9. At any given time, a 5-run home run is just a swing away
  10. My gut tells me Wallner turns to play that off the fence, not sure.
  11. While our game threaders profess their move for pizza (and each other!) I will profess my respect for Bregman (again) who took a pitch almost a foot outside for a strike, did not express any emotion or show up the ump in any way, and then calmly drove an RBI single through the hole at short. #ballplayer
  12. Was just going to post something to that effect
  13. The “good” news is we have another game where the strike zone is wherever the umpire says it is…
  14. Breaking news: the Joe Ryan bobble heads will be shirtless
  15. Unfortunately McCormicks was out in 30 of 30, so….
  16. Welcome to Twins Daily! Informal rule of thumb: one light hearted post for every heavy hearted post 🙂
  17. I have always liked Bregman. I actually think Ryan had him guessing fastball on that pitch, and Bregman adjusted and gave it a hack……..
  18. Out of the zone. Again. Well, the high strike has been consistent at least
  19. These are the saddest of possible comments…/ Tinker to Evers to Chance…
  20. 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... 🙂
