  1. Thanks for the article. The end of 2025 was so encouraging. The regression was more of a collapse this year. I trust the Twins on this one.
  2. Except Twins fans get the guy with a name that’s impossible to spell and pronounce. It took me almost a year to spell and pronounce Keaschall and it will take another year to figure out how to spell and pronounce reliever Gomez’s first name.
  3. Royce Lewis is disgruntled for the Twins. Somewhere out there in TD-land, someone is smarter than me in thinking how a Mlodzinski for Lewis trade could be accomplished. I would think the Pirates would have to add a prospect or player, since that pitcher’s last name is harder to pronounce and spell than Lewis.
  4. And it wasn’t like SWR was fueling much hope with his performance this year. this wasn’t an unjustified salary dump.
  5. I thought he had a chance in the bullpen. But his stats were awful this year and the Twins see him on off-days. I trust the team on this one and won’t be fretting over SWR. Another player gets a chance to prove himself.
  6. Good idea, but only if Royce Lewis can build on his good hitting over the last two games with the Saints.
  7. This may be a good time to explore signing Ryan Jeffers to a longterm contract. If not possible, make a trade. Byron Buxton should finish his career here. He is like Salvador Perez to the KC Royals (except for the World Series wins and likely HOF future induction). He is the guy to return at age 40 to induct into the Twins HOF and at age 50 and beyond to commemorate his career. Take reasonable offers on the rest of the list. Another potential trade nobody here discusses is Brooks Lee, if a very good offer is made. The Twins have depth at SS in the minor leagues.
  8. At this point, look at Orlando Arcia and ask why the Twins shouldn’t prefer him over (In order of being controversial): 1. Tristan Gray as Utility Infielder 2. Royce Lewis at 3B 3. Josh Bell at DH (maybe he can learn how to play 1B) 4. Cody Clemons at 1B (if he can learn 1B) 5. Luke Keaschall at 2B (moving Luke to utility infielder)
  9. After a nice two-hit night while carrying an OPS over .900, isn’t it about time to consider bringing Orlando Arcia back The Show.?
  10. Velocity? We don’t need no stinkin’ velocity. Now, SLO-Mo Ober needs to fully embrace this philosophy. Every two or three decades, an MLB pitcher brings back the ultimate slow-pitch, the EEPHUS PITCH. It’s well beyond Ober-due! Dave LaRoche had his La-Lob in the Eighties. In this era, of fireballers, the fans need the return of the EEPHUS. Bailey can bring it back and should call it the OBER-UNDER!
  11. Orlando Arcia is producing in St Paul. His OPS is well above .900. What else does he have to do to earn a call up?
  12. I share a season ticket. I’m still going to the games. When I go to the concession stands, I ask if the person working there is an employee or a volunteer. I do NOT tip the volunteers, who make money for unspecified charities. At least one has been a cult. I tip the working stiff, and will continue when they return from the strike.
  13. Note that many of the “workers” working at the concession stands are volunteers for undisclosed charities, making bucks for their charity. .
  14. Hurray. Joe said he wasn’t up front about an injury a few years ago and learned his lesson. This is big news. Now move SWT to bullpen, maybe put Zebby there too.
