Never been a Mannion guy....was hoping Mond would develop a bit, but looks like Zim may have known on that one. The experts have the Vikings 23rd in power rankings. We shall see.

He would be a complete moron to opt out with as poorly he has played this season. If he opts out and a team gave him a big contract after how he has played then they become the morons.

Pray that Correa opts out. Gordon can hold short until he is ready to go. When he is healthy he is the shortstop.

That wasn't fun today. I was at the park and the vibe was awful. Gladden's speech went way...wayyy too long. Thank all the people that helped you get there, but no need to talk about your wife's shorts and bra size and your stats in a day game after a night game. Lots of parents with young children left around the fourth inning because that's about as long as kids last at a ball game, especially when it's supposed to start at 1:10. Joe Ryan about the only guy who looked like he cared. Rockhead should've left him in to try and work through the situation. Was only at 88 pitches. Why not?

Mahle hurt, but win the games you're supposed too. Now beat a Rangers team that has looked horrible for long stretches this year.

Czechia ahead 3-1 over the US at the moment. Not a lot of up and go from the US at the moment.

Okay, good start at home. Have to take advantage of teams giving up. Is 6 of 7 too much to ask this home stand?

This team is just incapable of going on a streak with Rocco as the manager. He had his Bomba squad three and a barbecue postseason year, but this is exactly what we can expect with him and binder management. Bundy pitching great, pull him. Then get a miracle double play and put Pagan back out there for the 11th? Today....just no sense of urgency. Going through the motions. I'll be happy to see Correa opt out. I'd rather watch Gordan play short until Royce is ready. Spend the money to get a guy that can go seven innings, if the binder allows him too that is.

4-0 USA. I'm pretty sure there was a 15 minute review there too.

Did the German player get a match penalty for checking?

For the win!

Illegal stream....anybody?

So is our 5 star punter/4 star kicker Silvernale going to be the guy this year? Or do we see Stevens holding the duties?

Total missed kicks under 35 yards this season (both XP and field goals). O/U....10

I agree a ton with what those above have shared. To me, the numbers/percentages stuff has hurt the game. We don't bunt a guy from second to third because this stat here says that your run potential is 1.4 if you don't bunt the guy over and 1.2 if you do......dohhkay. Wow, this guy is killing it on the mound today! Great stuff! Wait, we are taking him out now because a teams average jumps up to xxx percent the third time through? But it's the best he's looked all year, and he is coming out after five. Don't get me started on launch angle and it being okay to strike out.

Whether you liked or hated the call (hated it), WTF was Kepler doing base running in the 10th inning? Zero clue before the pitch was thrown where the outfield was set up at and he doesn't get to third because of it.

That's the performance you need against good teams with what we have. Bundy goes 4 without blowing up, then just roll with Fulmer, Thielbar, Jax, Duran, Lopez. Megill has the ability to be a solid 5th-6th inning guy, just lacks an out pitch. Guys that can hit 98 mph have a place in the big leagues.

I really like the Fulmer acquisition. Can work front end or the end of the game like what we saw last night. Get 5 from the underperforming pitching staff, and then go Fulmer, Jax, Duran, Lopez. Pagan can't pitch in a close game that they are leading. Behind a run or two, fine.....but 1-0 in the 6th inning has to be Fulmer/Jax/Thielbar every time.

I turned away for a few moments and then the game was over. My kind of closer.

Such is the Twins.....trade for a bunch of arms and then a guy who has been reliable let's one slip while Pagan and Smith have clean sheets. The injuries are devastating right now...Buck, Kepler, Kiriloff, Larnach. If Buxton goes on the IL that means that your outfield going forward is Cave, Gordon, Celistino or Contreras? Maybe Gio can play left field?

People.....people..... Hain-Jammer-Sendo That's the Tweet.

2023 Rotation: Mahle, Gray, Ryan, Maeda.....TBA No more Archer or Bundy.....sigh.... With the likelihood that Correa leaves they can get a rotation arm and have an actual rotation.

If they can figure out a way to get a 6-7th inning guy now to compliment Jax..... 6. TBA/Duffey 7. Jax 8. Duran 9. Lopez Pagan now officially a throw away game arm. No need to pitch when the game is close.

I'm told an announcement is coming......the anticipation I tell ya.... Big win last night too.
