All Things 2025 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

[Ope3]

Wasn't it Ted Robinson mid to late 80s?

Robinson was after Kurtz but I'm not sure that they were still on Ch 9 at that point. I think WCCO/Ch 4 had them for a quick stint before moving to Ch 29.

The Twins were on WCCO 4 from 1989 to 1997.

Yikes, I would have bet way under on that one.

It must have been pretty early in that run that WCCO2 which became MSC was added as the Cable option.

Joe Ryan representing the Twins proudly-quick 1-2-3 inning with strikeouts of Manny Machado and Kyle Tucker, with a one pitch pop-up by Will Smith sandwiched in between. I don’t think he had to even throw 10 pitches.

10 pitches, 7 strikes

For those that tuned out when the NL was up 6-0, B6 oopsie.

Includes myself.

And now HR Derby Redux to settle winner of tonight's Mid-Summer Classic.

 

[TRF Guy]

Been a damn good game. This will be kind of cool with a home run swing off to decide the winner

 

[TRF Guy]

How bout Schwarber. That’s clutch

Win Twins!!

Meanwhile, they asked Joe Ryan a similar question and it sounded like he certainly wouldn't be opposed to getting traded to another franchise.

It looked like the last AL hitter was trying to draw a walk.

He’s a California guy, through and through, I ain’t mad that he might want to play in his home state.

He's not a free agent until after 2027. I'd offer him a decent extension this off-season. But even if he won't sign one there's no need to trade him yet.

CBSportsline had the Twins draft class as one of his top

I am torn on this one. I certainly don't want to part with him, but I agree with CBSportsLine today. There isn't really anyone out there who is gonna draw a huge haul like Ryan.

Still leaning to not trade him.

Need to keep good starting pitching if at all possible.

Hardest thing to find/replace

Finally relented and sold the ad space on the sleeve to Securian Financial.

 

[WoodburyTim]

I feel like this 6 game road trip is kind of going to decide this season. If we go even 2-4, I feel like it just isn't going to happen this year and we should just prepare to sell what we can.

Damn!!! Kyle Gibson hangs it up! To be completely honest, I had no idea he was still playing. Sounds like this year was rough

Kyle Gibson Announces Retirement

Some info in our remaining schedule, curtesy of the Twins MLB beat writer, Matthew Leach -

As of a couple of weeks ago, the Twins had played the most road games in baseball. They finally got a long homestand and made a little hay, but things get challenging out of the break, with road series in both Los Angeles and Detroit within the next three weeks.

• Game remaining: 66 (Home, 33; Away, 33)

• Remaining strength of schedule: .488, 24th in MLB, 12th in AL, third in AL Central

• Key series:

• July 28-30: With the Trade Deadline looming, the Twins have three games against the Red Sox, one of the teams they’re chasing in the Wild Card race

• Aug. 1-3: At Cleveland right after the Deadline. Progressive Field has been a house of horrors for the Twins, but with this year’s Guardians team looking vulnerable, it will be vital not to stumble here.

• Sept. 5-10: A possible make-or-break road trip, with series at the Royals and Angels, two of the other teams in the crowded Wild Card mix

True, but with our hitting, it doesn't matter.

Can we got some offense if we trade him?
