Thanks; I don’t think that’s the reason. Baldelli had Kepler pencilled into the lineup Sunday then Kepler was a late scratch. -
Ok so I won’t ignore it — do we actually know why Kepler’s knee is sore? @Matthew Trueblood @Cody Christie
-
Royce Lewis should be the Twins shortstop. People know this. It is unfortunate however that on this website, you can count on one hand the number of people willing to say so, and still have fingers left over. There is still more context that was left out from the Provus-Baldelli interview, if anyone is truly interested and has time. The funny thing about this is that Castro is not really that good at short. But by the Twins logic, the inferior player is the one who is immovable?

I am trying to envision the New York Yankees moving Derek Jeter around the infield.
-
The fact they handed the shortstop role to Castro and now see Lewis as more of a utility guy,… cannot be helpful. /rant

Well darn it, that’s probably gonna do it for me and for the Twins tonight (but you never know)
-
Rocco should install a computer in the dugout for real-time game thread updates!! 🤣

Thanks - both Kare11 and my weather app indicated a second wave of storms going past 10pm*. to quote the new Twins ace, Simeon Woods Richardson**, on refusing to open a box with a fake spider yesterday afternoon: “This is why I have trust issues.” *always check two sources, haha **only half joking
-
Well I might ask for the actual rule
-
Be safe Twins fans
-
For real—what are the suspended game rules? Is any of this going to count?
-
Just wait a sec — It gets better (worse)
-
The Twins and Braves must have been adamant against playing a double header and agreed to get this game in tonight, and the umpires asked to wait this out for as long as they can? Games have been postponed for much lesser weather. Then again I think rules for suspended games are different than they used to be?
-
Fun experiment if they try to play tonight—start an opener, prep Ober to come in after the rain delay
-
Current radar has those storms passing through beginning 7:15 to 7:30, with more rain not trailing off til 9:30 or so
-
Kepler out again. There is probably some substance to the rumor Kepler hurt his knee as a result of the spider prank.
-
Very cool 🙃

Did they reiterate to Correa not to do anything crazy? After spending a couple weeks in a boot, to protect his plantar fasciitis, it appears he has spent the last month running and beating on it. I have no doubt he will be in the lineup when the playoffs start but you have to wonder. (Well, i wonder)

Correa: What If The Giants And Mets Were Right?
Hosken Bombo Disco replied to strumdatjag's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
It turns out to be more severe than last years. Just quoting you back in to give you a chance to rethink your statement. I do agree with you that Correa and the Twins need to try resting it. Piecing together all of the scattered reports over the past month leads me to believe that Correa has not been resting, but instead testing, running and working on it this whole time, in hopes of getting back to the team. I do like this idea too. I think the Twins should absolutely trade Correa this offseason. -
Options to shed salary...after 2024
Hosken Bombo Disco replied to cmoss84's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
The Twins have $91-92 committed to the five players listed here. Back of the napkin math, that will leave about 40-45 million for the other 21 players on the roster, or about 2 million per player / roster spot. Someone smarter than me can go through and do the rest of the math on what bonuses are out there due, what arb raises to expect, a Margot buyout, Dobnak’s guarantee, and so on, to get a more accurate estimate. Jeffers and Ober figure to get nice raises. Even by not bringing back Kepler, it doesn’t take a genius to realize that the Twins don’t have much money for free agents next year, not even money for cheaper guys like farmer or Santana. If they can pull off a trade like you suggest, @cmoss84 then they should absolutely do it. Start high. -

Hey that’s my position! 🙂 -
Yes, the one who shall remain nameless will have to have more trust in his starters, and be willing to pitch against platoon splits, when playoffs rolls around this October. Right now the starters are lined up López/Matthews/Ober to start a wild card series Tuesday. Not bad.

Durán first, tiny gap to Jax second, then a medium size gap to Alcalá and Sands. I would also throw Varland into that second group as another guy who might throw like 1 ⅔ innings across the 6th 7th or 8th, if they are going to stop using Sands that way. Andrew Miller had success with that role. I think Louie would be great in that role, someone who could take some burden off of the other guys periodically.

You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means. The Twins are on pace to win 90 games—and there are nine other teams on a 90-win pace or better. Now throw in Houston and Atlanta, and that makes 12 teams. So, 12 teams out of 30. That’s 40% of the league right there. Elite.
