  1. Maybe the title of the article should be that Correa was very foolish and nearly drowned. Your very far from shore on a boat and apparently not a good swimmer and jump into the water with your 10 year old son, your child, your most important responsibility to protect and be a good parent to and you act foolishly like that. Sorry no empathy from me.
  2. I don’t think the rotation will be the Achilles heel of this team, it will likely be the anemic offense again. There are so many question marks with the infield. Lewis looks to be picking up where he left off with his slump in 2025 which is extremely disappointing
  3. I’m actually stoked about Bradley and Abel in the rotation. If I’m being completely honest I don’t think Ober is gonna be in the rotation long unless his velocity picks back up so Zebby will have a few starts to fine tune things
  4. I would have liked to have seen E-Rod make the team as well but I think the Twins want him playing everyday so it’s understandable
  5. Glad to see Abel and Bradley making the rotation
  6. Exactly. And yet we are being told by the homers in this forum that were being ridiculous and making outlandish statements. Really? The guy is not even hitting 90? Perhaps Ober needs to start throwing a knuckle ball to save his career.
  7. If he holds that line through the season I'd be happy as a pig in bleep. 😁
  8. This in my opinion is what is called a no brainer decision. You gotta go with Mick Abel over Zebby Matthews to start the season. Matthews has been erratic and not in control. How I think the rotation shakes out to start the year. Ryan SWR (who's not been very good so far in spring training, but logged the most innings just ahead of Abel and Bradley) Mick Abel Taj Bradley Ober, Matthews, Festa, Morris,
  9. worst to first baby 😅 But yes all sarcasm aside it's not looking promising.
  10. Wow just wow. He was terrible last season and this season no difference if not worse. It is what it is.
  11. I'd go a step further: BUST, time to move on.
  12. There was never a doubt that would NOT be the case after the selloff last trade deadline. Whether the Pohlads are willing to admit it or not, the Twins are in rebuild mode.
  13. The Tigers are definitely the Division winners this year in my opinion. That young core is getting better and better by the second and the AL Central is gonna be weak again in 2026 with the Twins and White Sox at the bottom and Kansas City somewhere in the middle.
  14. This. He was torched for 6 runs in 3-2/3 innings. Honestly aside from Abel and Ober (who's only pitched 2 innings so far), the Twin's starters have been atrocious. SWR has been brutal as has Bradley which is quite disappointing despite his high K/9 ratio. Andrew Morris hasn't been great either. The Twins are gonna need solid seasons out of SWR, Ober, and Ryan to keep this team from losing 100 games, knowing how bad the offense is gonna be.
  15. SWR has been BRUTAL so far, but it's still early so we shall see. Ober hasn't been great either which is not a good sign. The Twins rotation might have gone from a strength last season to a liability this season and that's not good news.
  16. If Ober struggles and with Lopez out for the season, it's down to Ryan, Richardson, and ...... a whole bunch of inexperienced starters in Abel, Bradley, Festa, Matthews and Morris. Prielipp, Raya, and Rojas are also in the mix potentially. I think the Twins should just let the kids play and see who rises to the occasion. I have no illusions this team is gonna be competitive. They should trade Ryan and load up on more prospects, but that's just my opinion.
  17. Marco Raya is looking more and more like a RP or worse yet a bust. Command has always been an issue with him. He got knocked around hard in St. Paul last season in 20 starts and 10 relief appearances. He might be a candidate for the pen going forward.
  18. i do. There already has been some significant grumblings from many of owners (and not just the small and mid market teams) about how much the big dogs like the Dodgers and a few others are spending and this time it's enough that they might risk it. The issue is not the Players Union or the amount of revenues the teams are bringing in, but how much they are allowed to spend and the deferred salary stuff. That's what the complaining is all about behind closed doors and it's a completely legitimate gripe.
  19. yes. That's exactly what I think will happen when they are 20 games under .500 by the all-star break.
  20. Can he return to elite form? Sure anything is possible. But will he? No. And I would argue he was never "elite" to begin with. He flashed some very good promise He flashed some very good stats in 2023, but since then it's all been downhill.
