    Lee - 3B Castro - 2B Lewis - Utility and DH (in addition to 3B, get him some time at 1B and 2B)

    Julien had a horrible game. At some point Castro and Lewis return. I suspect the most likely to go are Bride and Clemons. Julien and Gaspar should be considered too. Later, Keaschall comes back too. Julien needs to turn it around offensively and defensively, or his days are numbered.

    Alcala needs to be sent down to AAA. I don’t care if it’s waived or optioned. He is a disaster right now. Move SWR or Paddack to the pen. Call up Festa to start. The Zebster needs to get himself in a position to be next.

    Many here remember the often good but somewhat erratic “Disco” Dan Ford. Others may remember the disco artist - DeBARGE. So, could this be “Disco” Kyle DeBarge???

    And we are not even factoring in Knuckleballer Cory Lewis and Lefty Connor Prielipp. It could be said that this conversation here is Pre-Prielipp. Their numbers so far at AAA and AA are not that great. So, maybe this thought is PRIE-mature, even for a PRIE-liminary discussion.

    At some point Festa, Matthew’s and/or Morris will earn a promotion to the Big League rotation. Then the Twins will have to decide which starting pitcher gets demoted (the the pen or AAA). SWR and Paddack are the most likely to be demoted. Any of the current starters or one of those 3 AAA guys could be traded. A bevy of good starters throughout the system creates many good options. It’s a nice “problem” to have.

    Did TD forget to include the byline with the definition of “satire”?

    As of April 18, 2025, .642 OPS and .217 BA are current offensive stats for Max Kepler with the Phillies.

    So 7-8-9th inning guys? Duran, Coulombe and Sands (or Stewart or Variand)???? Until Jax gets back to normal, put him in lower- leverage roles.

    Oops. Spellcheck can be a problem when I’m trying to watch the game through the toxic haze. I meant to write TARGET FIELD. I’m not tech savvy enough to come up with such a creative way to get a dirty word by the TD Censors. My bad.

    Oops - spellcheck nailed me there. Here is my corrected post. Target Field is engulfed in smoke from a fire on top of a ramp at 7th St and 1rst Ave

    Correa gets a day off. I’m at the ballpark for my second day in a row. I tried to schedule a water-boarding session instead but couldn’t get an appointment.

    Julien. Get him more at-bats in AAA. Gasper had a decent Spring Training. If he doesn’t produce at the plate, the Twins can then see if Julien is a reasonable option or maybe Luke Keaschall is ready to be called up.

    Some with satellite coverage have list the game due to snow. Why not the 9-0 game?
  15. strumdatjag
    Looks like our top trade pieces are Dobber and McGaughey (you spell it).
  16. strumdatjag
    So, I’m thinking the Twins will be sellers at the trade deadline.
  17. strumdatjag
    Is “Clutchness” a word?
  18. strumdatjag
    Directv shows it being recorded even though I haven’t ponied up for the season fee. I guess just wait to see what happens tomorrow.
  19. strumdatjag
    Any news on the channel on Directv? I see nothing on my search thru the menu.
  20. strumdatjag
    All kidding aside. This is a good move for one of the good guys.
  21. strumdatjag
    The Dobber is back!!! First step to a World Series championship. It’s a lock!!!
  22. strumdatjag
    You and Linus said it better than me. I wanted to be brief in order not to be too much of downer at this early stage.
  23. strumdatjag
    The defense was sub-standard.
  24. strumdatjag
    Darn it - I responded to the SATIRE semi-seriously. Got me!!! Sort of.

    This is similar to the legendary jazz Trumpeter Jazz Trumpeter Louis Armstrong. During the civil rights battles of the sixties, some of the younger musicians treated him like he was an “Uncle Tom” (because he was an older black man who did not act like the new “hipsters”). Many jazz musicians and fans stopped calling him LOUIE and called him LOUIS (apparently a name imparting more respect). Satchmo himself called himself “LOUIS” in his singing of his hit “Hello Dolly”. However, long-time friends and associates still called him LOUIE. Then we could go on about how Basketball coach BOBBY Knight suddenly started insisting on being called BOB Knight. Don’t get me started on Mike or is it Giancarlo Stanton. LOUIE Varland should just accept that pro sports is the land of nicknames. If the player is good, he’ll get a nickname (Puckett is Puck, Hrbek is Hrbie …), SCOTT always seems to become SCOTTY, and STEVE becomes Stevie (rarely Steven or Stephen). Does he really expect Rocco to refer to him as LOUIS in a post-game interview???? Rocco seems to give nicknames to every player (and most sound much dumber than LOUIE). Rocco certainly won’t go with Miles Teller Varland. Accept LOUIE. if Royce Lewis regains his hitting stroke, expect Rocco to call him LEWEY too.
