    woa.. Correa hit a home run? He must now have almost as many as Royce Lewis! 🤣

    More likely than not, Twins with a chance to pick up a game tonight. Then I look at Cleveland’s schedule and they play Miami this weekend. Thats another 2-of-3 for them. Every matchup easier than the last. Who does Cleveland play next week? Probably someone like Little Sisters of the Poor, or some hyphenated teams, etc

    A monkey throwing darts could have called a better strike zone tonight

    You mean Paddack threw up and in? ”See there he threw up”— you could have stopped there 🙂

    Trying to make a World Series run with a lineup of mostly platoon/part-time players.

    Being alive is a pretty good gig, if you can hold on to it long enough

    Will Royce Lewis become human tonight? The last MLB player to carry a 4.000 OPS this late into the season was… Jamie Quirk, 1984 (trigger warning if you need to look this one up) (also not sure if that is factual)

    The Thielbar situation reminds me of the Tyler Duffey situation from a couple years ago

    Ian Hamilton from 2022-good catch. You sure you want to make that information public to critics like me? 😆

    Plus, isn’t the inside edge the easiest to see? (Yeah the pitch went right to the flinch area)
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Vázquez was set up for low and away, curve came in the high and in corner. Ober missed his location by a mile—granted should still be called a strike @TwinsCD @mnfireman

    LOL It can’t only go down, right???

    iirc the early ‘condensed games’ from the 2015-2016 era showed the plays of the game without announcers or commentary, just 100% natural sound. With just animated graphic to let you know what inning you were going into. And those game replays showed like 80-90% of the total plays during the game, all of the hits, runs and odds plays, and even most of the routine putouts. For the baseball purists out there, it was glorious.

    Someone else mentioned that but I am not a fan. I think it makes Royce Lewis into more of a utility player than a fixture at third base, which he needs to be. On a related note, as long as we are talking about moving everyone else around the infield, maybe we can start thinking about Correa moving to third at some point. There’s no way I would make that move as long as Correa is performing the way he is but it will become a legitimate topic at some point down the road sooner or later.

    Farmer plays all the infield positions, plays them soundly (unlike Julien in my opinion), and that Farmer is also the emergency catcher, if I am not mistaken. The problem i think is that Twins fans have become conditioned to expect every player on this roster will get a bunch of plate appearances, just because. No reason Farmer should be getting as many at bats as he does. Rocco’s early game pinch hitting I think is a factor here. Although o the flip side, if Farmer did get more regular playing time, his offense might actually improve. Not arguing that should happen, but that might explain the thinking and why he gets as many at bats as he does.

    Kudos to everyone who voted Julien. Julien never would have been on my radar, but give them credit for making the right move. There are arguments to be made to keep Farmer over Julien. I still can’t see Julien playing second, and I can’t be the only one. In a playoff series, Julien should be PH/DH (and would be a good one) but emergency second baseman only. But sure keep coaching him at second while he’s at AAA.

    That’s more of an argument that Lewis isn’t good enough to face major league pitching. I think the front office was counting on demoting Miranda or Larnach or maybe Kirilloff first of all, or secondly, they were counting on someone needing to go on the IL. This is what the broadcasters mean when they say “things have a way of working themselves out”. I am not saying anything eyebrow raising here. The front office certainly doesn’t want to go down to 12 pitchers to make a place for Lewis, and the very last thing the front office wants to do is DFA a Margot, Santana or Farmer. they would rather leave Lewis in the minors on his rehab for as long as possible, than do that.
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Lewis is ready. He’s done a week of rehab games. He doesn’t need a second spring training. He won’t be in the lineup tonight against a rightie but he should be on the bench tonight and active for Saturday’s game against Valdez. It’s also possible that the fans have it all wrong, and Lewis actually spends his free time in a hospital bed hooked up to tubes when not at the park playing baseball. In that case, wait to call him up for the Yankees series!
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Don’t forget that the Twins screwed up Buxton’s rehab last September. Everyone expects Lewis to be in Houston tomorrow. Lewis debuted against Houston last year too. With Lewis currently batting 1.000 he has nowhere to go but down!

    These still look like a group of .500 teams in this division, to me. Cleveland, like the Twins, sure has done a good job piling up wins against weaker teams. However, I don’t think they can patch their rotation together all season. Some of their bullpen guys have stepped up, and they will get Kwan back at some point. Though, if Gavin Williams comes back healthy, that would really give them a boost. So the Guardians are logical favorites. Detroit and KC have strong pitching like the Twins but I think are still too young and inexperienced with their everyday players to make a run. (Except for Salvi, who is not doing a Miguel Cabrera imitation.) KC could stick around this summer too. The Twins are currently about +280 to win the division, bet 100 to win 280. Almost 3-1 money. Not saying they are sure to win it but those are great odds to take if you are a betting kind of person.

    Woo-hoo!

    Fun win! And fun to listen to this game on a long drive in the car. Glad for AK - sometimes you just need to let a guy play through it.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Cleveland lost their ace in Bieber, and their next two best pitchers are nursing sore elbows. Imagine the outcry if the Twins were forced to compete without Lopez, Ryan and Ober in the rotation. We know Chicago is out, and Detroit and Kansas City are still very young. The money line is back out to about +280 to win the division after that seven game skid. If you like betting and like the Twins, now’s a good time to put that money down.

    But the writer of the article brought up birthdays and U.S. Senators, correct? 🙂
