    Falvey and Levine have a couple of weeks to make a decision with Schoop. Wouldn't be opposed to trading him for A ball players if they believe Arraez is going to project as the better player going forward. The risk is moving him to the bench for the playoffs just like Milwaukee did last year.

    Stashak should be next in line for a promotion to Minnesota. Hoping that it's not Romero again or Cody Allen. Reward the hot hand. Not sure if Rooker said anything else to the ump besides "That was up." Pretty quick trigger finger from the ump there. Though I do concur with the call in the 9th. The batter leaned into the pitch with his knee. And of course, this is your weekly PSA that Balazovic is really good.

    ESPN hasn't been paying attention to the rental trade market the last 2 seasons.

    Wander Javier needs to break out of this slump... Quickly.

    I mean.... Have they ever gone over their draft allotment in team history?

    Well said! You don't have to be old to feel like the nostalgia is going away! Or maybe I'm also getting old...

    IMO you're looking at the wrong stats over the last 25 years Tom. I don't think runs per game is the problem. It's how the runs are driven in, primarily by hitting the ball over the fence. Which is happening at an exponential rate over the last 2-3 years. I think MLB is taking the wrong strategy to attract a young audience. It feels like they're just catering to the 15 second highlight crowd showcasing nothing but home runs, strike outs, and the occasional sweet catch. It's not helping getting more butts in seats at ballparks, and it's not really compelling to watch on TV either. I think this topic would really gain more steam if hitters spoke up about the balls too. Wouldn't this gain more traction if an all time hitter like Albert Pujols said "It was more difficult for me to hit baseballs out when I was 22. I shouldn't be hitting pop ups at 39 and have them land 5 rows over the fence."

    It's like RAAAAAIIIIAAAIIINNNN on your.... Oh.... Am I the only one singing the chorus?

    Sano has looked MUCH much much much better lately. It's amazing how cutting down on strikeouts allows him to put the ball in play more often. I don't expect him to maintain a 15% K-rate. Nor do I expect him to climb back into the 50% rate either. If he can continue this trend and lower his overall rate to 30%, that will be huge.

    Congrats on the new partnership Twins Daily team! It's exciting to see this website develop into a reputable organization recognized by the Twins over the years. Not that it hasn't been reputable this whole time, but you know what I mean...

    Stranger Things season 3 gets off to a slooooow start IMO. Hoping it gets better after the first 2 episodes.

    Wanted: Smoke and Mirrors My supply is running low! Please help if you have any to give. Will pay cash. Sincerely, Mike Morin

    Also, it's worthwhile to mention that both players are rule 5 eligible this off-season. I wish Graterol was healthy this year so they could trade him for MLB talent.
  17. Vanimal46
    I would have ranked Balazovic ahead of Graterol right now... Gonna be interesting to see how y'all rank them at the end of the season.

    It's caught up to him. Once Marwin is back, the corresponding move should be sending Sano to Rochester. Arraez IMO has earned another 40-50 PAs over Sano.

    .761 OPS now. Seems to go down by 100 points every week it's been pitched that strikeouts aren't a problem.
  21. Vanimal46
    Wade is on the 40 man. I doubt they create an unnecessary roster crunch trying to add Rooker to the 40 right now.
  22. Vanimal46
    Unless the Twins play the Yankees... Then it's all too predictable. *Ducks and run*

    Cron is arbitration eligible again for 2020. If he keeps up this production it should be a no brainer to tender him.
  24. Vanimal46
    Mad is certainly not the correct term... If they were mad about having success they shouldn't be running a baseball team. This is what "financial flexibility" looks like in real life. 5-6 players on the 25 man with expiring contracts and the freedom to move on as needed. I don't think the plan was to trade Schoop by the trade deadline. He is simply a one year stop gap while they wait for Gordon/Arraez/any other MI prospect to show they're ready for MLB action.

    Those jerseys are hideous!
