    Possibly Smeltzer??? He proved his worth and was sent down last week. He promptly returned and proved worthy again. Put away the pencil and use the Sharpie to put him in the rotation, at least ling relief.

    3 Other factors: 1. Crime in Minneapolis, especially downtown. 2. Inflation fears. 3. Wild and Wolves in playoffs, competing for sports fans’ dollars (although that doesn’t explain the recent poor attendance).

    Not only will Royce Lewis be a force in the line-up before the All-Star Break, but remember Kenta Maeda is rehabbing and likely to be ready for playoff run and playoffs. Who knows if he will produce after surgery? But it’s a potential factor that is being ignored by the “gotta trade for an ace” crowd here.

    The newer style, outdoor ballparks are simply better places to watch baseball. Admit it: Vietnamese Egg Rolls are always better than Chinese Egg Rolls (even though the Chinese version has a longer, more storied history in America). The Vietnamese recipe is simply a better way to make them. Similarly, the new Post-Camden outdoor parks are a better way to design ballparks. So the worst of this best type of design is better than the best of the others - despite any “storied history”. I agree that the retractable roof ballparks generally lack the charm of always outdoor venues

    Agreed. That is the most important fact in this article. If AK has bone on bone pain, I’m unaware of any long term medical solution. But I’m not an orthopedist. If anyone out there has some medical expertise regarding a la k if cartilage in wrist bones, I’m sure we all would like to hear your opinion.

    A great problem

    Gio Urshella had an all-star day in the field and at the plate today. I had him as an odd man out. Wow. This team is deep.

    Depth is a wonderful thing!!!

    Carlos Correa is not the odd man out here. I think he is sincere in wanting to work out a longer term deal. Royce Lewis can move to 3rd Base. The odd men out are Miguel Sano (unless he proves his worth as a DH, after a stint on the 60 Day - but time is running out for the big guy) and Gio Urshela, who is a capable major league player, but the Twinshave too many better options (sorry Gio).

    I’m mostly anticipating a PAGAN having a prominent role on Faith Day at Target Field. Bring your own graven image.
  10. strumdatjag
    He’s making a better contribution to the Twins than he did with the Timberwolves.

    You’d think Bundy could boost his velocity a bit if he didn’t have to pitch five plus innings as a starter. Could we expect more effectiveness out of the pen? A crafty veteran could be a big boost to the bullpen.
  12. strumdatjag
    I’m not thinking that Correa just might be Wally Pipp. But you never know. If Lewis shines at SS, where does he play after Correa returns: 1. Left Field 2. Shortstop 3. St Paul. I’m picking number one.
  13. strumdatjag
    Hopefully, this gives us an opportunity to see Royce Lewis, while members of the current Twins roster wait out their time period of contagiousness.
  14. strumdatjag
    Bundy’s last outing in April was not as sharp. I actually would have gone with Joe Smith who has looked very good. Of course, that is for the Honorable Mention.
  15. strumdatjag
    Remember when Kirilloff was touted as a hitting machine and then looked like it when he was first called up. Then a sore wrist was blamed for his reduced production at the plate. Now that it’s healed, we were going to see the real Alex Kirilloff. I hope it’s just that he was overmatched by the Cy Young winning Robbie Ray. It was tough watching him yesterday.
  16. strumdatjag
    One or both between Archer and Bundy will prove to unworthy of starting by Mid-May. The Twins will figure is out a little later. Paddack gives them depth when that happens and in the event of injury.
  17. strumdatjag
    Kenta Maeda has started light throwing. There is a chance that he will be available for September and the playoffs. And No - I’m not saying the Twins will make the playoffs - But Hope Springs Eternal.
  18. strumdatjag
    If Sanchez can improve his hitting, then the Twins may be one year early. If, next year, umpires stop calling balls and strikes, and that authority is given to a computer, then “pitch framing” will become an obsolete skill.
  19. strumdatjag
    Third Base is also an option for Dean and Jerry (Martin and Lewis). I wouldn’t give Miranda the rights to have that position just yet.
  20. strumdatjag
    I hope signing Joe Smith works out better for the Twins than it did for the Timberwolves.
  21. strumdatjag
    Actually, the potential of this being a one year deal is what I like about it. The Twins are likely to fill the position with Martin or Lewis (or at worse they are scouring the free agent and trade markets). Yet, consider that many players, once they are here, want to stay. The money is very good too. Correa could be here for 3 years or more.
  22. strumdatjag
    The Twins are not done. They have many attractive pieces to trade for a top starter. With that starter, Sonny Gray and the best and most deserving filling out the rest of the rotation with what we have - That is a team that can contend for the division title or a wild card. Can we say - World Series - too soon? Still - Wow.
  23. strumdatjag
    Is there any way to get La Tortuga back??
  24. strumdatjag
    Looks like Jake Cave is getting Saige advice.

    Some of those game-playing, grown men can throw fast balls over 93 mph, knee buckling breaking balls or both. The rest of those men can hit those fast and crazy pitches better than 49,999 out of 50,000 people. That is a much smaller percentage than the high percentage of people capable of teaching High School Social Studies. Because of the extraordinary elite ability, millions of people will pay to see those grown men playing that game. That is why, thise players expect to be paid elite level salaries.
