Riley might need a day or two off

Did they show a distance on that?

TORQUE

We gotta give a lot of the credit to our start so far to McKinstry, Dingler and Tork. A month ago we all had them as below average bench pieces.

It’d be really nice to see this team at full strength for a while. How much better would they be with a healthy Meadows and Vierling along with Gleyber being back. With Tork and Dingler stepping up, there wouldn’t really be a glaring weak spot aside from Maeda

I was briefly listening to the Twins radio broadcast on xm at the start of the game while I was running an errand and the Twins announcers were saying that the Twins social media employees were really trying hard to drive up interest in the team this year because the fan base has been very lackadaisical so far. Part of that is they aren’t really good, the other part is a segment of fans are boycotting until the Pohlads sell the team.

Big LOL to all the pundits who had the Twins winning the central. And there were a lot of them.

Harvey!

Grant Balfour was a great one

Oh I know. I don’t actually want Clark up until late 2026 at the earliest. I just don’t want us to give any more ABs to Baddoo that badly.

I’d rather just call up Clark if we are arguing over Baddoo coming back or not

He’s not on the 40-man, so I doubt it. Seems like we are within 10 games of getting Vierling back.

Sure, but he’s doing absolutely nothing else well. On the other hand, it’s time to figure out what the plan is for him. Is he gonna be a 1B? 2B? DH? Elsewhere? He doesn’t have the athletic diversity to be moving around the diamond without extensive practice. He’s not a McKinstry/Ibanez/Don Kelly. So pick one spot and let him play it every day, be that in Detroit or Toledo. That might help his deer-in-headlights looking face a bit.
