I owe you an apology and a correction. Yes, Royce Lewis is much more popular among the general fan base than he is inside this unventilated little corner of the Internet. So, sorry about that. My irrational love for players like Lewis happens when I see myself in them. Not so much the athleticism but the personal side, Royce being a generally nice guy, who runs his mouth sometimes, over explains, apologizes too much, and has a tendency to ask questions (why are you moving me to second base in the middle of a pennant race?) instead of just following orders. That feels like Royce to me to a T. Plus, all that charisma. I know you don’t think well of Lewis’s ability to play shortstop. You may be right, but problem is, the fans never got to see it happen. Twins scouting and development had Royce as a shortstop. Twins leadership closed the door on Royce at shortstop with the second Correa signing in January 2023. Maybe if fans had seen Royce struggle at short, or if Royce hadn’t hit those big home runs in the 2023 postseason, he wouldn’t be as popular here. Oh well.

I am guessing he thought he would go off and execute all those trades, and then come back to a hero’s welcome. He would do all the usual interviews, the local media would be friendly as usual, and everyone would tell him how great he did. Instead, it was the opposite. And it was a shock. So he went silent for a while. Just a guess. -
Houston collapsed and is on the outside looking in. Toronto is also collapsing, but already locked up a playoff spot. I expect the Yankees to overtake Toronto and win the East, and Toronto to bow out in the wild card round.

José Berríos goes to the Injured List. Something that has never been said before. Bravo. He's been pretty good and incredibly healthy. He has also made more starts as a Blue Jay now than he did as a Twin. He is in his 10th season. It is elbow inflammation. Hopefully nothing serious.

We have seen that move before — Trout did it like 10 years ago sliding into third, lots of other guys have done stuff like that recently, but Fitzgerald’s was one of the best!

That’s not the same good girl as in the dirty sock avatar…. Anyway, be safe and thanks for ‘representing’ over there!

Trying to assemble the Twins recent all-defense team… C Vazquez, SS Correa, OF-Bader/Buxton/Kepler, .., mayyybe Lee at 3B? anyone else jump out?

shhhh don’t say that too loud, there are only like 4 or 5 of us who like him and we don’t want the pitchforks to come out 😆 however I think he probably takes less money to go elsewhere

I don’t mind the Tigers but I never thought they were the best team in the league by a long shot (easy to say now, I know)

So then would you put Martin in center until Jenkins is ready, or would you throw Jenkins out there and let him learn? … 🙂

Wow Cleveland in first place. I want apologies from all the people who told me 7 games back on July 27th was too much ground to make up! (the 2018 deadline sell off, if you are wondering. Yes you are correct I have trouble letting go of things lol…)

Week in Review: Doormats
Hosken Bombo Disco replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I give this team a 50/50 chance to make a run at .500 and a wild card next year, but two necessary steps would be keeping all their starting pitchers, and bringing in a better manager and philosophy and coaching staff. Otherwise the players will continue to underwhelm and bring themselves down, and it’s another run at 90+ losses.- 19 replies

The electric playoff home run was on his down slope? 🙃
