    Should not have had to challenge the pitch against Bellinger, that ball caught a lot of the plate...

    Never did like that Grisham guy...

    Cole is tough enough to hit off, if he gets that low strike call all night he'll be impossible, especially if the Twins run out of challenges.

    Game 4, day 5 of no Buxton....

    I get it, we all want a good return for our players, I was just pointing out what happened in MLB at last year's deadline, including the return the Twins got for a couple of players that were similar to Larnach. The best return will be for Jeffers, especially if the Yankees are involved and the Twins can maybe get a bidding war started. Ryan will have to significantly improve upon his near 5.00 ERA for the month of June to get a good/decent return, but if the Twins are still contenders they may decide to keep him - tearing down the rotation to build a BP makes no sense.

    Alex Call (2), Mike Yaztrzemski, Miguel Andujar, and Cedrick Mullins (3) were the examples I found closest to Larnach. I know Mullins is a CF, which is probably why he returned 3 A+ pitchers even while having a down year, that and he was traded to the Mets, who were evidently willing to overpay. Willi Castro returned 2 AA pitchers, Chicago was also willing to overpay. Bader was having a career resurgence, but only returned a AA OF and a young pitcher that was pitching in the Dominican Summer League. Stewart, the oft-injured RP, returned Outman. I don't see Larnach bringing back a MLB RP, much less one that will impact the teams BP down the stretch.

    If last year's deadline deals are an indication, the return for Larnach will be an A or A+ pitcher.

    FWIW Jenkins does not have to be added to the 40-man until December 2027, his clock does not need to start until the labor situation is figured out. Going forward, Emma is out of options after this season and the team needs to know what he brings to the table. The clock has started on Roden (1 option after this season), Fedko (2 options), Gonzalez (2 options), and Mendez (2 options) are the guys the team needs to look at this season before Jenkins, though I think we know how the team feels about Fedko. I'm not in favor of teams manipulating service time, but in this case, with all the other options needing to be looked at and his injury history, my opinion is that Jenkins can wait to be added to the 40-man once the labor issue is resolved.

    50 Shades of Double/Triple Clutch....
  10. mnfireman
    That ball was Buxton's all the way..... 😜
  11. mnfireman
    Probably done after 5 with his pitch count...
  12. mnfireman
    England calls it football...
  13. mnfireman
    62 pitches through 3 IP, Bradley needs a quick inning or he's doing the 5 and Fly thing....
  14. mnfireman
    Kreidler's ball.... Let's hope it doesn't hurt...
  15. mnfireman
    He could have called Emma to get the name of his surgeon....

    50 Shades of Chase....
  17. mnfireman
    Just terrible....
  18. mnfireman
    Sounds like good news for Culpepper, nothing broken....
  19. mnfireman
    Not a good start to the inning...
  20. mnfireman
    Larnach's would have been in 24/30....
  21. mnfireman
    I'd say Bell likes hitting against Imai...
  22. mnfireman
    Fedko has been McCusker'd....
  23. mnfireman
    Probably better go look at some statistics concerning 1B. According to Fan Graphs, the Twins are near the bottom in advanced metrics and middle of the pack (at best) by standard stats.
  24. mnfireman
    Ryan had a bad month, his June ERA was 4.91 over 6 starts.
  25. mnfireman
    Your "Ace" should not be sitting on the bench after 4 IP...
