Stewart broke the majors with a 93-94 mph fastball, then after some early career injuries, it dropped to 91-93. Then, Stewart comes back after a Tommy John, joins the Twins, and is somehow throwing 97-98. It was too good to be true. We did get some good outs from him in his time here. Best of luck to him.

Looks like they are giving Topa at least two days off between appearances and it’s only been one day off since his last appearance. -
The road to victory starts and ends in Philly
-
We’ve had one of the wettest summers on record in southern half of Minnesota.

It would be nice to get your guy Correa back too. I know he’s a physical specimen who heals quickly but I would rather have him full strength in September than 90% in August.
-
Any Joe Ryan updates? I love it when good news is withheld Still waiting on the Twins to print out the MRI results?
-
Anyone who thinks manager decisions don’t affect outcomes, Tony La Russa not only lost games but set this stupid franchise back a decade lol Go Twins!

Reverse jinx! You are welcome!

(Also AA team )

I mean, that’s Rocco’s job to keep the players focused, not our job 🙂

Cleveland KC & Boston all leading (games not over) would be a gut punch to sweep this series and not really gain ground in the playoff races

White Sox uniforms next year

Right? lol

Crochet Independent of that, the Mighty Whiteys are apparently limiting Crochet’s innings for the rest of 2024. He has a 74 pitch start and a 64 pitch start since the All Star break. they are limiting his innings in their belief that they will need his arm to be stronger in 2025 because they plan to be contenders, or something

I guess I knew that. The narrative I would push back on is that the Pohlads are cheap. Which sounds weird (to borrow a phrase). Record payrolls the last two years, and then a payroll reset this year. I can make sense of that logic. Falvey had all offseason and all summer to get creative and work a deal around the payroll constraints. Sounds like moving Kepler and a good prospect to New York for Nestor Cortes was a possibility at one point. Maybe try to trade away Margot’s salary for a song.

What reporting? (honest question; as i am not following the day to day much right now)
-
The Pohlads just bankrolled record payrolls in 2022 and 2023. I'm not buying the narrative on this site right now.

Ober has pitched 4 of his 20 starts against Detroit, a minor league rag tag of misfits if there ever was one. There are other low-caliber opponents in his game log too. He does have great command. I would guess his third time through numbers a good, too. If he finishes the season strong, we can maybe say that he is very, very, very, very, very exceptional. I would be comfortable preparing Ober to pitch in a playoff game with a good game plan, against whoever.

They have lost their way. Granted, the Twins will probably still make the postseason, and a #2 seed is not out of the realm of possibility, However, don’t try to make sense of it. I do think there is value in platooning and positional flexibility but not the way they are doing it.
-
Most of their locked-up guys will get raises next year: Correa, Pablo is a big one, Paddack gets a raise, and even the Dobber — who is back — gets a bump up to 3 mil next year 🙂

Wait, what?

Dear Pohlads: Don't Do This
Hosken Bombo Disco replied to Eric Blonigen's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
The way I see it, the Twins are currently in Year 3 of “going for it” and being all in for that championship that eluded them in 2019. This coincides with a particular free agent who arrived on the scene in 2022. there, i will leave it to you to connect the two dots. 🙂 Also, thank you for being a TwinsDaily caretaker!

My thoughts on Kikuchi is I was not impressed with his performance against the Twins in Game 2 last year. He didn’t get rocked or anything, he was just kind of uneven, looked like he wasn’t up to the moment. His delivery to home plate was inconsistent. So it’s a Pass for me. However, as a lefty arm to give us starts through the rest of the regular season, he might be ok if the price is right (ie, super cheap).

Nothing to worry about, trades don’t really start to take shape until the final 24 hours before the deadline 🙂
