    I think so. Royce Lewis seems to have hit a wall as well. The Twins have done a great job all season but they're running on fumes. You can't have Carlos Santana, Matt Wallner, and Christian Vasquez leading the charge down the stretch. This team needs their big guys. Where are they? And why haven't we heard diddly-squat about return times? I was hoping they were all just getting "extended rests" but it looks like they all really are hurt, and hurt badly, and we'll be lucky to see Bux and Correa by the end of the year. Same old same old.

    LOL I thought that too - like whaaa? When I reach the Pearly Gates I'm going to use that on the big man upstairs. "I wouldn't be here if you'd have given me the opportunity to stay healthy!"

    After looking at these results, it's pretty obvious that we need to go with Zebby, Pablo and Ober - in that order - against the Yankees in the Wildcard series. Right? Seriously though, great debut! Need to see Varland step up today. A real shame this team never seems to have all of it's parts healthy at the same time. As soon as someone emerges, a star goes down. As soon as that star comes back, another starter goes on the IL. I realize it's league-wide: Trout, Acuna, and the list of pitchers is too long to list.

    Royce Lewis is just so good. Imagine a full season of this guy.

    Agreed. Those saying the Twins "won" this trade don't really mean that. What they mean is, that the Twins didn't lose as badly. The Twins and Mariners basically went to Vegas together hoping to have a fun trip. Seattle got drunk, lost $5000 bucks and then fell into the hotel pool at 4am. Minnesota did the same thing, they just didn't fall into the pool. Either way, both of them are going to have a miserable flight home.

    There are tons of Twins blogs and Twitter accounts that do the same thing - a lot of "Just wait until Stewart gets back" type of talk, which to me is confusing. Brock Stewart has a career ERA of 5.00. In six MLB seasons, he's had two good ones. The other four have been bad or downright horrific: https://www.mlb.com/player/brock-stewart-592779 Topa has only had one good season (last year). Both guys are coming off what must be very serious injuries and they're 32 and 33 years old, respectively. I know we're all Twins fans here and we hope for the best, but this ongoing theme of "Stewart and Topa are going to save us" is absolutely ridiculous. Perhaps it's some kind of coping mechanism for people who are worried about the bullpen? To quote a recent popular phrase: it's just weird.

    Hard not to cheer for Randy Dobnak - he's never had to worry about being likeable or being a fan-favorite. But at some point, no matter how interesting or heartwarming your story is, you're going to have to deliver consistent big-league results. At this point, Twins fans want to see Randy pitch 6 scoreless innings as a starter or pitch 12-13 consecutive scoreless innings from the 'pen. Whether or not he has the ability to do so is the question.

    Great game by Lopez and great interview with Lopez there, if you haven't watched that clip please do. Really impressive to hear him discuss that 7th inning in detail.

    Keep 'em off! Ever since the Twins went off the air, they've been on a roll. No reason to mess with a good thing. Minnesota, I'm sorry but you're going to have to suffer for the greater good of the franchise.

    Meanwhile, in a parallel start tonight, Jose Berrios went four innings, gave up 3 runs and walked 6 in a home loss to the Rays. After an incredible start Berrios has a 6.41 ERA over the past month and has looked more and more like a guy who's running on fumes. Could the Blue Jays be hoping to trade him?

    Looks like a future outfielder. Looking forward to seeing how this guy hits!

    Should be interesting! Looking forward to the picks....

    Farmer's got to be DFA'ed soon. His numbers are horrific, batting .192 with 0 homers! I don't think the Twins have to worry about someone else claiming him at this point. I reckon Farmer would likely refuse the assignment and elect free agency, correct? What's the downside to jettisoning this guy? Sure he's a nice depth piece but I don't see a reason for him to be on this team's big league roster.
