    This is every Packers fans that I know. Hats off to Packers/Brewers/Bucks fans, they have the recent (and previous for the Packers) championship success. They have everything and fans of men's major league professionals sports teams in Minnesota have nothing the last 35 years.

    Time flies by quickly, it seems like yesterday he was hitting those Bomba Squad homers and pointing to the crowd in the outfield while circling the bases.

    He's obviously our guy if he received Gibby's endorsement.

    It reminds me of a previous employer that had a use it or lose it sick time policy each year. I didn't like calling in sick when I wasn't really sick and felt guilty doing so. I also refused to lose sick leave time by December 31 because I was healthy and came to work everyday. Then, one time the solution came to my mind. As the end of the year approached and I still had sick time to use, I would call my employer and tell them that I did not feel 100 percent healthy and was using sick time that day. I didn't have to lie and didn't lose sick time.

    It's fair enough to think Prielipp is the best Twins story of 2026. Although, it does not leave me very optimistic about future success for the franchise.

    Meet the new boss, the same as the old boss.

    This is the story of Minnesota men's professional major league sports teams since 1991, no championships. Normally, it's that a player or coach leaves Minnesota and wins a championship somewhere else. This Torii story is a slightly different twist.

    I have an honest inquiry - why is it more difficult in today's world to go to MLB.com and find where the game is being broadcast as opposed to the old days of turning on the TV and flipping through dozens of channels, watching the guide that scrolls through station listings slowly, or opening the paper TV Guide? Or isn't it even easier to search on your smart TV. I think it might be more annoying in today's world due to the viewing choices that may require payment. I don't think it's a difficult challenge to make sure fans know where to find the games.

    The strategy of calling up Rojas and Jenkins and counting on them as difference makers doesn't seem like a winning formula for a strong playoff contender. The existing roster players need to produce.

    It's either play deep or bench him.

    You went to the highest price, in demand game in years, so yes you are going to pay a premium. You were blessed to see perhaps the greatest baseball player ever pitch and hit in the same game against the popular Twins ace. Why complain about the cost? FYI, you can take a family to Target Field for about $25 if you are smart about it, I'm doing so today with free tickets on the Kwik Trip app, walking a few extra minutes to park, and bringing my own drinks and food (both allowed).

    Fountain Pepsi Products are $2.49 at the value stands at every game. There are cans of soda for $2 on Friday night pregame sales. Plus, you can bring your own water bottles to the game and refill for free at the hydration station.

    The Twins still have a lot of work to win back long term fans who abandoned ship after 2025 trade deadline disaster. I couldn't give away a ticket to the Joe vs. Sho game and asked many of the long term Twins fans I know that have given up on the franchise. Folks still don't trust the Twins organization.

    25 minor league games watched to have an opinion on a prospect? That's a demanding standard. I'm guessing most of the national writers don't have that many games watched on a prospect before publishing an opinion.
  15. theBOMisthebomb
    #1 was expected because He Ain't No Ordinary Joe Ryan is an ace. #2 - #4 were... surprising if you had asked me in late March to predict this.

    Will someone remind me again how AI is improving things for the average citizen?
  17. theBOMisthebomb
    Yes, injuries and underperforming are like the death and taxes guarantee of MLB starting rotations.
  18. theBOMisthebomb
    Yeah, RD is still the worst ever reliever in Twins history. The 2026 bullpen version might be the worst Twins bullpen ever. That's a different conversation, though.

    I had a feeling this detail would get the focus of any replies. Prior to 2002/2003, WAR (Wins Above Replacement) calculates defense for previous eras by using historical play-by-play data, primarily from Retrosheet, to determine how many runs a fielder saves compared to an average fielder. Before modern tracking, this "TotalZone" method uses data points like outs made and hits allowed, adjusted for position and park, to estimate defensive performance over an entire season. (Full disclosure: info taken from a Google search.)

    Adam Dunn had 462 home runs in his career yet only accumulated 18.0 bWAR. That's a lot of baseballs hit over the fence for only 18 WAR regardless of how poor of a fielder he might have been. For Eddie Rosario's 2019 season, fWAR had 1.2 and bWAR had 1.6 with Eddie hitting 32 bombas that magical season. Can you at least see some value in a finite number of WAR each season being allocated to the league and assigned to the players? Or that WAR can be used to assign an (approximate) overall value to a player's worth? I'm not here to defend the WAR statistic, I'm just curious. I get that there's some variation in how different places calculate WAR and it's not a perfect stat. I do like the ability to compare players from different eras using the WAR statistic.

    I don't know what Brenda said means, it made me laugh though.

    They are spreading the wealth and truly bullpen by committee as per MLB.com: Eric Orze recorded the Twins’ fifth save on Thursday, and every one of them has gone to a different pitcher – including one in each of the four wins against Detroit. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, it’s the third time since saves became an official statistic in 1969 that a team has won four straight games in a single series with four different pitchers getting a save.

    This recap seems to be what we might see for the majority of 2026 weekly summaries. You might just be able to cut and paste and fill in the relevant names for the next 24 weeks.
  24. theBOMisthebomb
    2036 if we are fortunate.
  25. theBOMisthebomb
    At least the Twins took Acton to address their bullpen woes.
