MLB: ***2026 Minnesota Twins***

You have to. You can’t for sure bet when Lewis will be back or bank completely on a guys production after his second reconstructive knee surgery.
I'd rather go with Gio, Polanco, Arraez, and Miranda. Kirilloff and Gordon can help out. Maybe Palacios. If there's a competent RH SS out there, add him to the mix.

With Archer on his way, use the big Correa and Sano money and sign two quality starters.
 
Rocco has now seen his second 'worst call ever' in a matter of weeks.

...and it turns out to be a favor for the Twins with Sands getting out of the bases loaded jam.

Just watch the Twins win two out of three games in Houston. Baseball is so unpredictable.
I'm having what he's drinking.....

Seriously, this is absolutely brutal to watch. Please send Jake Cave back to the Saints. His AB's are Sano-like and he will never be a good MLB hitter.

I only have the radio broadcast to listen to, but I'm really trying to understand how Altuve causing the benches to clear results in the Twins being charged a mound visit.
 
Honestly, the games closer than I thought it would it be right now. And it is Justin Verlander.
 
I'm trying to figure out for the analytics boys, how does Rocco throw out Kepler and Cave with the numbers they have against Verlander? Was the only option Celestino?

Meanwhile, the Astros announcers refused to say 'no hitter'.....until Correa broke it up in the 7th.

Because Rocco went to the mound & met w/ the pitcher. Umps got it right.

Seriously, Cave has to wake up every day and pinch himself wondering how in the hell he is in the majors. Basically once MLB pitchers got half a season of scouting, he simply is not an MLB player. And Kepler is just what he is, a guy that doesn’t hit well enough as a corner outfielder to be an everyday player on a good team.

Cave lol
 
The twins just can't stack up to quality opponents. I'd still take a playoff berth obviously, but not sure how it shakes out in anything but getting swept.

With Garlick and Larnach possibly being back in the next week, Jake's career in the Bigs with the Twins are hopefully numbered. They will not miss the SO King.

Kepler continues to pound the ball into the ground with RiSP. I'm sure he can't wait for the League to ban the shift.
