    I don't like Topa coming in with traffic on the bases and too many outs to get. He did a good job at stranding inherited runners in 2023, but not so much in 2025; the only two years he's pitched any significant number of innings. One of those years is an outlier. If his WHIP is going to be in the 1.4 range, or even the career average of 1.33, coming in with runners already on and needing 3 outs is going to be cutting it close too much of the time. Better if he came in with at least one out already accounted for.

    It happens, occasionally, that young pitchers come up and prove to be untouchable, especially in their first few outings. A few will prove able to adjust to the league as fast as the league adjusts to them. The Twins, however, will need this to happen far more often than can be reasonably expected this year if they are going to be even remotely competitive. What really troubles me is the fear that the Twins won't score enough runs for the bullpen to matter at all.

    In considering his place amongst the hitters, it's even more impressive that he's reached those numbers against today's pitchers. What kind of monster might he have been in previous eras?

    Ducks/Trevor Larnach

    Fun article, but.... With runners on 2nd, 2nd+3rd, or just 3rd (particularly the last 2 scenarios) Larnach has been the guy I want at bat. He is a bit of a clutch hitter.

    If their interest in Castellano is real and they see a future for him, I would think that they might let minor league options and inevitable injuries play out.

    Are they actually tickets, or a list of ticket holders at the door? I'm trying to treat my daughter to the show, but don't how the tickets I bought work for her.

    Must have been entertaining. I read the whole thing!

    I think in all of the talk about the game not appealing to younger people that the real reason for that is mostly overlooked and no changes to the game are likely to fix the problem. We diehards grew up playing baseball on sandlots, back yards, pastures or wherever and whenever we could find space and gather a few friends. Todays young people grow up playing video games and never develop a love for the game of baseball.

    Lewis to 1st is an interesting option. I hadn't considered that, but now that I am I like it more than putting Miranda there. Good enough glove and his bat plays there. Lee to 3rd...OK, assuming he is the Lee from early in the season. 2nd would need someone. Is there anyone in the system we would want to see there every day?

    I hope they soon find Brooks a helmet that fits

    Am I mistaken in that Larnach is playing with a foot injury? Is it possible they might delay the decision on who to move by placing him on the IL to let the foot recover?

    I remember him hitting 2 walk off home runs in the same at bat and even then needing the home plate umpire to overrule the first base ump who blew it twice by calling both balls foul.
