My favorite player back in High School - Rookie of the Year for 1980. Correction... Castino was ROY in 1979.

Who can forget Houston Jimenez?

Who can name that Twin?

Royce Lewis is by far my favorite Twins player. Buxton has moved down my list this year. -
Burnes is really good vs RHB, but totally dominant vs LHB.
-
I was surprised to see 7 RHB in the lineup. This clearly seems to be base on the strong reverse-splits for Burnes. Here are Burnes' 2023 splits vs RHB & LHB:
-
2 outs

Framber Valdez pitching a no-hitter vs Cleveland. One out in the 9th.

75 Options the Minnesota Twins Could Trade For
Elite Benchwarmer replied to Ted Schwerzler 's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I'd go all in for Bellinger. Adding an athletic, power-hitting centerfielder would make a huge difference this year. They could also really use a quality bullpen addition. Would the Cubs go for Larnach or Wallner plus maybe our 3rd/4th best pitching prospect? Admittedly I'm a Twins optimist, but I think with this pitching staff they can have an impact in the post-season.- 42 replies

I'm glad they didn't overthink this pick - taking the consensus best available player. it will be exciting to watch him develop!

It's great to see Urbina and Salas have strong days at the plate for CR. They both have real potential, but we haven't seen much from them yet this year. Hoping their bats heat up for the rest of the summer!

I moved to South Dakota in May. I had to download a VPN to be able to stream Twins games on MLB.TV. Hopefully, next year the blackout restrictions will be eliminated for streaming Twins games.

Michael Tonkin is crushing it for Atlanta. He did give up a run in 3.1 innings yesterday. First run given up in 3 weeks or so.
-
I looked it up, and it looks like he's only been average in Cleveland. He's had a few loud games, though.

Twins Lose Danny Coulombe to the Orioles
Elite Benchwarmer replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Coulombe career splits aren't great vs RHB. Last year was better but I don't think the Twins trusted him vs RHB.
-
Not a fan of this decision, he deserves to be the 5th starter. Maeda doesn't look ready to be a major league starter - needs more time following TJ surgery.

The Twins Forgotten Stud Pitcher
Elite Benchwarmer replied to Cody Pirkl's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I'd argue that Mahle has the highest 2023 ceiling of the Twins starting rotation. But he also may have the lowest floor - given the injury risk.- 18 replies
