All Things 2025 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

Donate To GopherHole

Weird column from Souhan today saying basically, "Don't fire the hitting coach". That's way, way down the list of things people are frustrated about. People are fed up with ownership that won't spend money, an executive that has failed pretty badly when he's been given the green light to spend any significant money and a manager who lacks the fortitude to challenge and push his team to be better. Nobody thinks that Toronto is having a real nice year because David Popkins ended up there.

Buxton with another HR today. I predict he'll hit 30+ this year. He looked a lot better last year. His strikeout numbers decreased a good amount. He struck out 25.5% of PA last year compared to 31.4% and 30.4% the previous two seasons.

Back to back wins for the first time since...well I can't remember. Feels like it's been a while. Twins are streaking!

In addition to Lewis with 2 dingers, Keaschall went 3 for 6.

SWR movin on up?

He threw 57 strikes last night and 17 were swing and misses = 29%. According to one source, anything over 14% Is considered elite.

I have a sneaky suspicion, that he will continue to evolve and end up with a nice 6-10 year career, as a middle/end of the rotation starter. This will be second consecutive year topping 20+ starts.

I still remember when he was interviewed going into the AS break last year, and he was asked if he was going on vacation and he said, “Naw going home to work on my mechanics.”

Never bet against a grinder😀

Lewis is hitting .454 against the Padres, Dodgers and Angels this year. He steps it up against Southern California.
 



The win streak appears to be over. Giving up 9 runs is bad. Giving up all 9 runs with 2 outs is putrid.

Edit. Angels tacked on 3 more runs later. Also with two outs.
