    Brooks Lee is like the mighty Mississippi River, he just keeps rolling along.

    Can Solano be optioned to AAA?

    I agree about Fenway. While I understand the historical significance of Fenway, the uneven concrete walkways were dangerous. It was not friendly to elderly and persons who have difficulty walking and climbing stairs.

    Nice article. I am so jealous of these road trips. Sounds like lots of fun.

    Too bad for Mahle and too bad for the Twins. Hopefully Varland will perform well the rest of the season. The Twins next injury to a starting pitcher this season, cannot be mitigated as easily.

    Awesome writing as usual, Matt. Reliced. Just awesome.

    The Twins could always trade 35 year old Donnie Solano and keep Gordon.

    Michael A. Taylor is a baseball player. I really have enjoyed having him on the Twins this year.

    Your time or ESDST? Your time or ESDST?

    John B. will have to drink a lot of beer to keep it from going to waste. I suggest that this event be scheduled again for July and then see how Bonnes does.

    Victory, Victory that's our cry. V.I.C.T.O.R.Y.

    I'm curious why you would choose Varland over Ober. Ober performed well last year in the major leagues, this spring in spring training he was lights out and he has performed well at AAA. Varland has had some good performances, but not better than Ober. Ober has paid his dues and has performed well. There will be room for both in 2024.

    Twins win 3 of 4 games against KC.

    I hope we do face them later...because that will mean we'll be in the playoffs.

    I have been favorably impressed with Gallo's play at 1B. Last night he had two great picks and you have to admit, his stretch at 1B is impressive due to his size and flexibility. The man is big and athletic.

    Sounds like a great time. I need to move from North Carolina so I can participate in these special TD events. You Minnesota residents are having a lot of fun. I look forward to the pictures and reports from the attendees.

    Not if, but when.

    Your article is quite prophetic when we look at Polo's performance in tonight's game against the Evil Empire.
  19. tarheeltwinsfan
    You are correct. Thanks for pointing out my careless mistake.

    Seth, I understand giving Maeda 10 more starts and see how he does, and there is much wisdom in that approach. But I believe there is possibly a better way to handle this situation. This is why. Last 2022 season and this 2023 spring training and this early 2023 season, Ober has pitched well enough to be one of the Twins starting pitchers. That is not the issue. The question is 2 part: 1) Can Maeda can pitch better than Ober as a starter. Or 2) whether having Maeda in the bullpen would improve the bullpen. Who would you rather see coming in from the bullpen twice a week for 3-4 innings, Maeda, Headrick, SWR or Sands? Remember, if Maeda remains a starter, Ober is not going to the bullpen. Ober will remain at AAA as the first call-up when a starter is out due to injury or lack of performance. By moving Maeda to the bullpen, we either improve the starting pitching or at the very least, it stays the same with Ober starting instead of Maeda. But by moving Maeda to the bullpen, there is the very real potential to vastly improve the bullpen and by doing so, improve the Twins chances of winning more games.

    To answer your question of where does Larnach play, after carefully considering all the options spelled out in this worrisome, intelligent, well written article and the comments which followed, I vote for St Paul.

    At the time the Twins acquired "the bringer of rain", I also posted several times about Donaldson's frequent leg problems, which I contended were due to his being a catcher in the minor leagues and a catcher when he was beginning his career in the majors. The article mentions that Donaldson is currently out again with ... leg problems.

    I still find it hard to believe that one of the reasons the Twins' FO traded for Donaldson, was so he could mentor the younger Twins players. That reason was a terrible mistake. However, I feel the FO has learned from this mistake and has intentionally been acquiring players with positive, team before self, attitudes. I realize I don't know what goes on behind closed doors, in the dugout and in the clubhouse and on team flights...but I do like what, as a fan, I see and hear from Correa, Gray, Farmer, Vasquez, and Pablo "Doc" Lopez. These 5 "acquired from other teams" leaders are making positive impacts on this Twins team.
  24. tarheeltwinsfan
    You are 100% correct.

    Another outstanding article Matt. Thanks.
