    I understand the complaint about the Twins seeming incapable of making in-game or in-plate appearance adjustments, I notice it also.

    According Baseball Savant pitch illustrator there were 6 called strikes at the very bottom of the zone, 3 for each team and there were 3 called balls at or just below the very bottom of the zone, 2 of which could have been called strikes, 1 for each team (the Marlins had the pitch actually out of the zone. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/gamefeed?date=7/3/2025&gamePk=777263&chartType=pitch&legendType=pitchName&playerType=pitcher&inning=&count=&pitchHand=&batSide=&descFilter=Ball&ptFilter=&resultFilter=&hf=illustrator&sportId=1&liveAb= https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/gamefeed?date=7/3/2025&gamePk=777263&chartType=pitch&legendType=pitchName&playerType=pitcher&inning=&count=&pitchHand=&batSide=&descFilter=Called Strike&ptFilter=&resultFilter=&hf=illustrator&sportId=1&liveAb=

    Not even going to read previous posts, Buxton has a full no-trade clause...figure it out from there or keep spewing stupid s***...

    Lewis didn't look real healthy running the bases yesterday, not really a surprise he's got today off.

    Skubal has 5 starts of 7+ IP and 3 or fewer hits allowed, 7 starts of 6+ IP and 0 runs allowed, 10 starts of 6+ IP and 1 run or less, 10 QS, and 5 starts with 10+ K's, the Twins are far from the first team to be "massacred" by Skubal.

    Since I mentioned them..... AOC - Advanced On Contact MSM - Mighty Swing & Miss Or something close to this....

    No entitlement here, this a sports forum so it should be sports articles. Not policing, just asking them to stick to the subject matter, per their own rules - sports, specifically baseball. Seeing how you keep coming on here to argue your opinion AND state your politics, I'd say you're the one who's triggered. Your triggers are your responsibility, not mine. I do believe that ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, et al have also had to pay out big $$$$ for lying as well, but you won't say that, doesn't fit your narrative

    Not triggered, I come to this forum to get away from the "left" vs. "right" rhetoric that is literally everywhere. My life is fine and my priorities are where they need to be, my views don't get inserted in every conversation, and I haven't lost any friends (a few family members, maybe (wink, wink (sarcasm))). A few TD writers/staff members insert their political views in their articles too often, especially so since its considered an off-limits subject. Not touching this statement other than to say quit listening to MSM and AOC. Not offended at all, everyone is entitled to their opinion, in the proper setting, a sports forum is not that setting.

    That defense might make sense in a vacuum. But in the real world, especially in our current political climate, there are times when democracy gets it wrong. Inexplicably, Mauer got left off the list, and that is something the writers could have remedied. More political BS from the TD staff/writers/owners, why am I not surprised. This article could have absolutely been written without this paragraph, or at the very least, without the second sentence of the paragraph, whether the referenced article mentioned "American Democracy" or not. Politics HAS divided our country, there is no need to insert one's political leaning in a sports forum article about perceived slights on one writers "All-Quarter Century Team". State you feelings and your argument for the player you support and leave the politics out of it, especially given recent events in our state. Yes, I know I did not need to write this post and I know I can just leave TD if I disagree with their views, but I am a Twins fan and for the most part like reading the articles and opining on our favorite team. As for articles with the author's political views inserted, those are available elsewhere, let's keep it focused on sports, please.

    No matter how I tried to manipulate the rotation (on paper) between now and the All-Star break, Ober's spot comes up twice, though he can be pushed back a day each time by keeping Ryan and Paddack on regular rest and bumping SWR (once) and Festa (twice) back a day. The two Ober starts would fall on the 5th, followed by Ryan on the 6th, and the 12th, preceded by Ryan on the 11th. A BP game on the 5th, while not ideal, could be done, hoping Ryan goes 7 on the 6th, the team has a day off on the 7th. Ober's start on the 12th would precede SWR on the 13th, the last game before the All-Star break, though I guess they could piggy-back SWR and Festa (on 3 days rest) and possibly not need the bullpen that day. The team could run a man short on the pitching staff and bring up a position player or bring up a AAA reliever(s) for two weeks and throw 2 BP games, they could spot start whoever they feel gives them the best shot to compete for two starts, or they could use the days off to maximize Ober's days off between starts. Tough choice's each...

    TD would have been calling him a failed pick after his first two seasons: 9-16 4.57 ERA, 44 HR allowed in 181.1 IP (4.6 IP/GM), but the 4 seasons since (probably for another team, Cincinnati??) would have been nice...
  16. mnfireman
    Mutual option
  17. mnfireman
    Just to show off, 100 MPH for his last pitch of the night??
  18. mnfireman
    Routine grounder to second fielded by... the SS!! Why the shift
  19. mnfireman
    Anybody else want Larnach or Wallner in RF right about now...
  20. mnfireman
    Brooks never stood a chance that PA, started with a curve and ended with a FB, pitching backwards...
  21. mnfireman
    Evidently Skubal's is a little better... or the Twins hitters are worse than the Tigers hitters...
  22. mnfireman
    You won't have to worry any more after this season
  23. mnfireman
    Of course Baez gets a hit (an extra-base hit to boot)...
  24. mnfireman
    8/9 outs via K, 7 by change-up, 5 that were not even close to the strike zone (plus Lee chased a FB above the zone).
  25. mnfireman
    If Paddack could just do that every inning...
