    So many perfect lines in this article, TCAnelle! Including these: "Because representation and opportunity matter, dude." "As a female fan of the men’s sport, I’d like to be respected as a fan." "For every player shirt or jersey that’s in the store in a men’s cut, also have the women’s cut available." (I do have a Morneau jersey in a woman's cut.) "And give me more female voices in primary roles on TV and Radio." "Make it crystal clear to every single employee on and off the field that behavior like Osuna’s and Taubman’s is absolutely unacceptable." Consequences, men!

    "The Twins need more women in more roles in the organization." Definitely!

    This is so cool! Looking forward to reading other stories in the series.

    I wonder wether Rocco and the front office will give Garver a meaningfully larger number of starts in 2020. I know that having him start less than 50% of the games this past season has been credited with keeping him fresh (and Castro, too), but why not increase his starts behind the plate closer to 60%? The calculator on my phone says that would mean 97 games. Too many? Might depend on whatever backup is in play. I certainly wouldn't to give La Tortuga 60+ starts at catcher.

    I would nuance all these mentions of possibly calling Kirilloff up in September, in light of the reduction in roster size next season (26 through August 31, no more than 28 in September). AK presumably could well be among two late season additions, depending on injuries and the like, but added pitching would be at least as likely, imo.

    Can't deny the awesomeness of Houston right now, but man, the Dodgers getting to the Series three years in a row and losing all three? It could actually happen, but what a letdown that would be in Tinsel Town.

    Man, that's a shame insagt1 that the Rochester NY media ignore the MN Twins. At least you get to see a lot of our players coming up and going down.

    Finishing 40 games above .500 is quite an accomplishment for our team! Let's hope Luiz recovers quickly and the bats heat up.

    Thanks for a whole season of Weekly Reviews - one of my favorite parts of the site. I agree about moving Eddie -- I would drop Rosario to 5th or 6th in the batting order -- not too far down, since he does hit those bombas.

    I agree about Arraez as Rookie of the Year, Garver as Most Improved, and Rogers as Pitcher of the Year. With all due nods in Garver's direction, though, I have to pick Cruz as most valuable. The missing defensive contribution as DH is more than compensated for with the power hitting in meaningful situations and the well-attested intangible of clubhouse leadership.
