Twins win, Guardians get no hit. Two game lead in August, things could be worse. Brooks Lee is absolutely killing the ball in AA. Another left handed bat with some pop and promise. He needs to be up in St. Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sioux rube Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 He’s not concerned and all is well. WTF ST. LOUIS — The home runs, Joe Ryan said after his last start, were “not really concerning.” “You throw a lot of strikes and guys are going to swing and stuff happens,” Ryan said before professing that he thought he would be fine on that front down the stretch.

Up comes Dallas, and we have a "groin injury" to Joe Ryan. Two/three starts for Dallas on the big club. Anxious to see if he's still got it.

Wilbur Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Duran struggling a bit as of late, but getting the job done. The former catcher in me thinks he is over throwing the splitter, but that's one guys opinion. Amazing these mlb guys have caught up to his 102 mph fastball as much as they have. Wonder if he's tipping. Kenta Maeda today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWSiouxMN Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 The more I watch of Julien and Wallner, the more impressed I am. I'm going to the Saints game on Friday to check out Brooks Lee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Wallner is the future in right. Hope he's up for good. Lot of upside there. Keuchel gave the team a chance. Wasn't pretty, but one run through 5 innings gives anyone a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved that they brought out the guy that was the only person to ever strike out Mauer in HS, that was pretty funny. They showed all of his commericals between innings.

Read a story about the pitcher that struck out Joe, and Joe says to the guy "you aren't going to throw me that nasty curve again are you." 5 game winning streak. Ohh my.

Ohh my. That was pretty funny from Joe. I know a lot of fans got on his ass because of the big contract he got and maybe he didn’t quite live up to it but he was always a true professional. Definitely not your rah rah guy but one who did his job in a respectful way.

sioux rube Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 After dominating game 1 the Twins curl up in the fetal position and lose the next 3 to the Tigers. With that I’m not surprised. They are average and nothing more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 They can't continue to throw Dallas K out there. I mean he gave them a chance his previous outing, but I think we all saw him getting bombed today in Philly. You got Varland and Simeon down in AAA, give those guys the experience.
