I dont understand why they left Culpepper down for so long this season? It seems like the Twins always do this kind of stuff. Especially once they moved Lee over to 3rd, i get back when Lee was the guy that you want him being confident and whatnot, but once that move was made and Culpepper was doing pretty good all season they should have brought him up awhile ago.

He throws with more velo than Ober??? 😀

Yeah getting into the either buying of selling is definitely a question as they are on the line to where they could go either way. However, at the beginning of this season I would have guessed that they would be way way worse than where they are at now. Also include had someone told us back in February that Lewis and Wallner would both spend a good amount of time in the minors we would have all been like go ahead and sell now. But for some reason they are in it. So here we are kind of in a quandary.

Well Hoffman has 75K's in 48 innings at the MLB level, so hopefully he can provide something down the stretch. Sucks to lose good prospects but Hoffman has been doing well as of late and maybe with him the Twins don't lose that game against the M's??? I mean it isnt worth it if the Twins dont make the playoffs, its low key worth it if they do make the playoffs. So have to wait and see. Could flip him next year too??

The twins announcers talking about how close the Twins clubhouse is. Bell says its the closest one he has ever been a part of. Is that due to change in leadership??

Man 89 would be an uptick.

Do they bring Ober back out? 89 pitches?

Its early

He might consider not throwing anymore fastballs. Sweepers, sliders, curves. He needs to get below hitting speed since he really can't get above it.

Its weird when you look at it. But there are 7 teams with payrolls lower than the Twins. Pittsburgh, Tampa, Chicago White Sox, Miami, Washington, Cleveland, and St. Louis and they all have winning records?? Only one team with a lower payroll has a losing record, the A's. I'm thinking if a team isnt going to sink big money into payroll with free agents they probably have to sink their big money into scouting and player development?? I mean how does Tampa seem to do it year in and year out?? It has been a lot more fun to watch them lately while they've been competing. Hope they can keep it up with this sort of Hodgepodge group!!

I could listen to those guys all day long. Most of the Twins announcers have me napping by the 4th or 5th inning or so. I was cracking up when they were all making fun of Span when he raised his finger when he thought he just hit a walkoff and the ball got caught on the warning track.

6 games is a lot for one player, not saying it couldn't be 6. But im pretty sure we could go through the schedule right now and find 3 games for sure where he makes the difference. But think about that, if we can flip 3 games the Twins would be above .500???

He played high school and college in St. Paul, I dont think he wanted out. In fact I think he was actually a little upset when he got traded. Unlike Jax who I think may have requested a trade.

Twins dropped him for some reason and now they'd have to offer some sort of trade for him. I don't see any reason to bring him back. Also if they got him they would have to try and clear waivers with him and I think someone could snatch him so it's just not worth it.
