But let’s bring him out there in a 1-0 game. He’s nothing but a garbage time reliever if even that

Nice debut by Lopez. 7 pitch save in the Twins 4-1 win over the Tigers today

Minnesota Twins get: RHP Jorge Lopez Hard-throwing righties Jhoan Duran and Griffin Jax have put on a show for the Twins this season, but their bullpen as a whole ranks second-to-last in fWAR. As fixes for this depth problem go, it doesn't get much better than Lopez. Armed with a devastating sinker that sits in the high 90s, he's accumulated both strikeouts (27.6 K%) and ground balls (60.0 GB%) amid an All-Star breakout in 2022. What's more, the 29-year-old is under club control through 2024. So while the Twins paid a hefty price to get Lopez, making him part of a three-headed relief monster for two-plus years is worth it. Grade: A Baltimore Orioles get: LHP Cade Povich, LHP Juan Rojas, RHP Yennier Cano, RHP Juan Nunez You'd never know the Orioles are 52-51 and only 2.5 games out of a playoff spot. First, it was Trey Mancini on Monday, and now they've willingly surrendered their ace closer. Cynical, to say the least. On the plus side, the Orioles did well to get pitching depth back from Minnesota. Though we had their farm system ranked at No. 1 in the majors coming out of the 2022 draft, it was more loaded with bats than with arms. The big prize here is Povich, a 6'3", 185-pound lefty who's struck out 12.8 batters per nine innings since turning pro after going to the Twins in the third round of the 2021 draft. Of the other three hurlers in this package, the 28-year-old Cano had a dominant career in Cuba and possesses the mid-90s heat and sharp slider to potentially become a late-inning relief weapon. Grade: B

As do I. Being I’m his uncle and seeing how some folks on here want him to fail is beyond me. But whatever makes one puff out his chest and enjoy watching him struggle. Obviously I’ll still support him regardless of how this season goes

They truly are great fans. Was at a game when Erstad was their punter, the year they were National Champs

So did you get a free pass?

Archer with a terrible outing today. They need pitching bad

You are right about that. Just talked to Kirkeby’s dad and he said she got a full ride there. Bemidji St is where Kirkeby could play although they are still getting a few other offers out East

Ah I have heard of this. Getting old sucks. Thanks Sicatoka

What is this northstar you speak of. Never heard of it. By the way Bartz is definitely the best player in the state. Her and Kirkeby could be headed to Bemidji St next year

Golfed this morning with my daughter at our local public course. Unbelievable how many ball marks I fixed on each green. Really not that tough to fix if people weren’t so inconsiderate and lazy

So in boys, Century will coop with Legacy yet the girls will coop with St Mary’s. That’s messed up

Another core piece has fallen into place for the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Blue Jackets signed restricted free-agent star Patrik Laine on Friday to a four-year deal with an average annual value of $8.7 million.

Smith became my favorite golfer a couple years ago. Just seems so down to earth and has an awesome mullet. What I would give to have a few beers with the man https://www.instagram.com/tv/CgH5vLyorfw/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Senior to be Nolan Nenow from Jamestown will be either playing for the Bismarck Bobcats or the Sioux Falls Stampede this coming season

I’m guessing around 2005 or so

It is and it isn’t close. They did that facility the right way. No corners cut

5 dingers so far for the Twins. Up 8-2 on the white Sox in the 7th

First ever 8-5 triple play

Twins win in 10. Now up 3.5 on Cleveland

Another come from behind walk off win for the Twins again today. They were basically dead in the water until the 8th and 9th innings. Miranda this time with the walk off hit
