    Will the Twins suffer another ramblin wreck with their #3 overall pick in the upcoming MLB amateur draft? Codie Christie adds to Twins Daily's excellent and thorough coverage with a look at a possible Georgia Tech catcher. Many good takes from readers here...what do you think? Forrest Lake's Matt Wallner struggled mightily through the first quarter of the season, both defensively and at the plate. Walks down, K's up, power virtually nonexistent. On this past Thursday, the Twins reached a no doubt painful decision and sent him on the green line to St Paul. Weigh in here: While Wallner is no longer with the big club, Royce Lewis remains. Are his problems at the plate fastball related? Betwixt the ears? Too much eyeblack? What say ye? View full article

    David Ortiz didnt fail in Minnesota. He was a good young hitter.
  4. USAFChief
    Lewis is not out of options. Neither is Wallner...who was just sent to AAA.
  5. USAFChief
    Lewis signed for about $1Mil under slot, as I recall.

    Yup. Back foot flying all over the place. It's ridiculous. Look at the picture above. Back foot off the ground. Backside halfway to third. Lunging, all arms swing. That's the problem. Not "fastballs." Nobody can hit much with a swing like that happening way too often.

    Funderburk is 29, in his 9th season of pro ball. 271 games, over 540 IP. I don't see a couple weeks in St Paul having much chance of fixing his command issues

    The whole "4 innings once in a while" minor league thing is just stupid. Incredibly stupid. And that includes for Prielipp and Rojas. "Too smart by half" comes to mind.

    1. Chopping up the TV schedule between multiple services should be a felony. 2. Having 5 consecutive hitters go double, single, single, single, single -- all to the outfield no less -- and coming away with only one run IS a felony in 39 states. Lock em up.

    Nice piece, Mr Trueblood.

    I'm annoyed by the existence of a microphone on Apple TV.

    I believe the MLB answer is "no judgement calls can be reviewed." Not that I agree, but I believe that's the current rule.
  13. USAFChief
    The whole thing pisses me off to no end.

    Life is good for the Dodgers. Even Brock Stewart is off the IL and had a perfect inning with 2 Ks in his 2026 debut. 2 is exactly 1/2 the number of hits James Outman has in almost 1/4 of the season.
  15. USAFChief
    I think maybe you're thinking of Wallner.
  16. USAFChief
    Twins enter play tonight 3.5 behind Cleveland.

    More information about "Friday Forum: Are We Young? How'd Last Week Go? Wither Joe Ryan?"
    OG member Riverbrian, who, fortunately for us, has apparently way too much time on his hands, is tracking youth on each team. Specifically, pre-arb players. Interesting stuff...read all about it and let us know what you think here: Nick Nelson, one of the site's founders, gives us another well-crafted weekly review. I'm starting to think he might not be totally sold on the bullpen. What do you think? Let us know here: Fortunately, it appears Joe Ryan and the Twins may have dodged a bullet with his sore elbow. Fingers crossed. Assuming he's healthy, should he be dealt? If so, when? Cody Christie weighs in, so should you, here: Till next week, Chief signing off. See you in the forums!

    Caratini, Bell and Outman aren't on the front office?? Who put them on the roster? Traded for or spent limited resources to put them there?
  21. USAFChief
    The problem? No. A problem. Definitely.
  22. USAFChief
    Ruiz 3 for 3 with 4 RBI There's your Kaybear Repore. Edit: I'm pretty damn proud of this one.
  23. USAFChief
    That makes me really sad.
  24. USAFChief
    That's the problem, for me at least. There are no "bad losses." None that matter anyway. Nor good wins, for that matter. I get much more entertainment watching a bad loss that matters than watching a win that doesn't.
  25. USAFChief
    I don't know what you're on about. 7 runs, 7 innings. That's an ERA of 1.00, no? 7÷7. Math checks out.
