The new Rosenthal article in the Athletic about Twins pitching analytics is fascinating. Honestly it’s the most enlightening article I’ve ever read about the team’s approach to preparation, which has puzzled me for a long time. Scripted bullpens with real time data feedback? Yes!

IDK... Garver has a wRC+ of 133 since 6/1. We need to keep building the pitching staff and Romero is a potential 1/2 type guy. We can’t move him. Realmuto is a premier catcher, no doubt, but I’d rather have the flexibility to keep or add arms and maybe try to fill one positional need heading into next year. Even though we are second in the standings there is a huge difference between the Twins and the top 4 teams in the AL right now. However, I do believe we can close a lot of ground by next year. Our roster already contains most of the hitters we’ll need to do it (they just have to rebound Sano/Buxton/Kepler or develop Kiriloff/Rooker/Gordon).

Laughs... you walked off the team on 4 pitches!! This team is entertaining!

Littel!!

Honda’s Minnesota marketing approach is offensive or infuriating, I can’t decide which, but it make me loathe their cars (even though I’ve owned a few).

FREe baseball!

Was LaTroy just narrating the media guide, again, when Maher hit that?

All sorts of ranches out there.

I enjoyed that very much. Good fun to see/hear a guy like LaTroy look awkward, which probably happens very rarely.

Just keep hitting them where they are.

Why are they pinch hitting for Gibby? He’s our best hitter!

I think Joe West upheld the call out of pure spite for instant replay.

I recognize those scorekeepers. Yup, that’s her. Way better than Marlins Jersey.

Robbie Big Fly!!

Holy blue shirt Batman.
