All Things 2022 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

More great news for the Twins, Hunter Greene made the club for the Reds and will be in there rotation to open the season. Royce Lewis can still end up being the right pick there, but for a team that's been desperate for elite starting pitching for as long as I can recall, this one stings right now.

Meh. All drafts are crap shoots. Baseball drafts x 10. People were lamenting picking Joe Mauer over Mark Prior around 2002/2003 as well. 3 years later his arm was fried and Mauer was winning the first 3 batting titles. We don't know who won this one yet and won't for a couple years.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Greene was pretty terrible his first two years in the minors, but was dominant in AA to start last season. He was then promoted and was up and down at AAA.

Cincinnati is rebuilding so why not start him.
 











Update from FLA:

Red Sox beat the Twins 4-3.

Dylan Bundy goes 4 innings and gives up 2 solo HR's with 5 K's.
Cotton gives up a run on 2H and 1 BB.

Not much at the plate -
Arraez with 2 hits, Jeffers with a 2-run HR. Boston pitchers with 12 K's.

Yeah if you live in the market unfortunately. I live outside the market so can get all the games except when they play Milwaukee.

The whole thing is messed up.

I’ve never done it but I believe that would work. I was able to find articles about it working.

Twins turn to rookie Ryan for Opening Day assignment​


Any path to success for the 2022 Minnesota Twins will involve a heavy reliance on their young group of starting pitchers.

So why not start from Day 1?

Twins manager Rocco Baldelli announced Thursday that rookie right-hander Joe Ryan will make his first career Opening Day start on April 7 against the Mariners at Target Field, the most emphatic indication yet that for this Minnesota team and pitching staff, the future is now.

"He's absolutely earned the opportunity to go out there in the first game of the season for us, pitch Opening Day," Baldelli said. "It's still something that is important to everyone in the clubhouse. I know every pitcher may have their own opinions on this particular honor, but I think most guys and most people involved in the game know that it is a special thing."

From trade acquisition and September callup in 2021 to Opening Day starter in '22, Ryan's rise to the top of Minnesota's rotation is nearly unprecedented in recent baseball history.

He will become the third pitcher in the Expansion Era (since 1961) to make an Opening Day start within his first six career games, joining José Guzman of the '86 Rangers and Steve Busby of the '73 Royals. Ryan will also be the first rookie to start Opening Day for the Twins since Tom Hall in '69.

Considering all that, what was the extent of Ryan's surprise when he got the news on Wednesday?
"We hugged," Baldelli said simply.

if you're looking for online TV, Direct TV Stream has Bally's. From what I know, Comcast/Xfinity, Dish Network and Direct TV are the only ones that carry it unless you VPN it from somewhere. I really liked youtube TV and held out switching for a long time, but then in Dec there was a day or two when all the ABC channels (ABC, ESPN, etc) were off YTTV, so we switched then. Have enjoyed the Wild and am looking forward to Twins games.

When the NFL did it, it was to get people to go until the game was sold out, then they'd lift blackout.

Makes no sense for 81 games
 






What really sucks about April 1st is that you can't believe anything you see on social media. I see posts that look plausible, and then I stop and think, "is this an April Fool's bit?"

BTW - and this is not a bit - there is a streaming video service called "Southern Fiber Net" that does include BSN and BSN plus. I know it is available in SW MN, because my local tele-comm provider is thinking about adding it as an option in my area.
 

I don't care about the pitching anymore. As long as the lineup stays healthy, they are going to score a ton of runs and we're going to have a fun summer of baseball to watch.
 

Twins leading Atlanta 8-4 in the 7th inning on Friday.

Buxton 2 HR today, 1 for Correa and 1 for Jeffers.

so far in Spring Training, Buxton has an OPS of 1.411. Correa is at 1.364.
and...Jeffers is slugging .529 with a .176 BA......

Archer started - went 2.2IP with 5H, 3ER, 1K and 1HR allowed.
Alcala gave up a HR in 1 inning of work.

I'm calling it now. If Buxton stays healthy he finishes top 3 in MVP voting.
