    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.?

    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!

    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?

    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.

    Note that many of the “workers” working at the concession stands are volunteers for undisclosed charities, making bucks for their charity. .

    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.

    SWR also has a bulldog mentality on the mound that could ultimately translate into success in high leverage situations in relief. But he is not succeeding as a starter this year. It looks like his success late in 2025 was a mirage.

    I was in Cedar Rapids this weekend. The team is on a hot streak. Jaime Ferrer needs to be moved up in that line-up!!!
  26. strumdatjag
    Ober has looked good as a starter, and, absent picking up a cast-off from another team, he will be the most experienced in the rotation if Ryan goes down. How about moving SWR to the pen? He has the bulldog mentality that could translate into late innings success. But the Twins won’t be able to move anyone out of the rotation until Mick Abel returns. The patched up rotation looks like Ober, Bradley, Prielipp, Matthews, and Abel with sparse reinforcements. Ultimately, the Twins will need to trade some of their over-abundance of outfielders for relievers.

    I asked about Lucas Giolito. He is 31 and wants a 3 year contract at over $20 million a year. I doubt he would take a one year “prove it” contract at $15 million AND I DON’’T THINK THE TWINS OWNERSHIP WOULD PAY IT ANYWAYS. So, ignore my question on Giolito.
  28. strumdatjag
    I think the proper term is that Prielipp is getting a “CALL-UP” to the big leagues. I hope he does well. Otherwise, we will be saying Don’t Give Us No Pre-LIP!

  30. strumdatjag
    Is Giolito getting any offers? I bet he would be available for a one year contract.

    Changes are coming and Royce Lewis is just less likely than other nonpitchers to need to worry. about his future with the Twins. James Outman is clearly first on that list if justifiable worriers. Matt Wallner is another. Of course there are bench players who must always be looking over their shoulder (Clemons, Gray, Kreidler). Emmanuel Rodriguez and to a lesser extent Kaelen Culpepper are earning. a call-up.

    Meanwhile, James Outman had a pretty good day today, going 2 for 4 (after 0 for 19 start). I don’t think it’s enough to avoid a deserved demotion.

    With that horrible ending, it’s easy to forget how well Bailey Ober pitched. It’s enough to get me to say that I wrongfully doubted him (in hindsight).
