I saw Joe Ryan has the best WHIP right now in baseball.
Twins are humming. The division is losing. Let's build a big-ass lead boys!

Does anyone want to get a "Minnesota Twins: 2022 World Series Champs" tattoo with me?
I'd be happy just winning 1 playoff game lol
With the Twins having the best starting pitching ERA in the AL, we've got a chance. I wouldn't get the tat yet, but we've got a chance.
Nah. It's time. I'm gonna get Joe Ryan's side profile right across my chest.
We'll have to compare it with my I Heart Buxton tat.Nah. It's time. I'm gonna get Joe Ryan's side profile right across my chest.
I’ve been listening to Gleeman and The Geek for years. Great podcast. It’s a must-listen for Twins fans.
Going into Tampa and taking 2 of 3 was nice. Hopefully the bats are starting to come around. A lot of season left but so far the great pitcher scrap heap experiment is working.
I see that Sano went on the 10 day IL. I don't wish the guy ill will, but honestly, it wouldn't bother me to see the team forced to go without him for a long stretch, because I just don't see how useful he is at this point. .093 BA after 17 games. Wishing for those increasingly rare hot streaks is still a net negative. Kepler at least provides good outfield defense (and is currently hitting much better), but most anyone can play first base.

Agree. At this point, there is no chance the Twins bring him back next year. He's in the final year of his contract. At his current pace, he will be playing for the St Paul Saints for the rest of his career.
He can't be optioned to Triple A anymore. If he gets sent down, he would be DFA'd and able to sign elsewhere (which probably wouldnt be a bad thing)
You all know damn well he is going to come back from the IL and then at some point in the next month is going to going on this epic 10 day stretch and carry the team, right? He does this same crap every year. EVERY. SINGLE. *******. YEAR.....
That is so true. Still, I'm fine with moving on from him. Sano is a massive disappointment.
Yeah, I'd say given the hype and the type of prospect he was, he's been a little disappointing. Not enough to call him a bust. Honestly if he would just strike out 20-30% less often as he does, nobody would probably mind him. It is apparently too big of an ask, as he's had the same issues since his rookie season.
Sano will heat up, and he's been league average or better each of the last 3 years, even with his huge slumps, so I wouldn't totally give up on him. It hasn't been since 2018 that he was actually a net negative. Its just silly to say so.
Depending on how the young'uns keep playing, they might think about trading him. Right now, I probably wouldn't re-sign him next year, but who knows.
I agree... he will heat up as always. He really can't get worse. His start to this season is epically poor.
Agree. Hope Sano does heat up mid-season and there is some out there that would take a trade flier.
