I saw his interview last night after the game and he said he felt great, but things just weren't going his way. Rocco doesn't let a hurt pitcher throw 100+ pitches over 5 innings. In an honest world, Ryan should be demoted to AAA. I'm happy to hear we still have the rights to Keuchel, as I had heard he opted out a few days ago.

He did opt out. The Twins just had a couple of days to decide to promote him or not. That time would have expired today.

Reminds me of a classic Cheers when Sam raps during his stint doing sports on a local TV station.

The Cynic in me finds that his groin injury came up at JUST THE RIGHT TIME for them to put Keuchel on the roster...

Crazy ass conspiracy chit, I know. But the timing...

Yes. Weird question.

The time before that was Frank Viola.

Maeda and Hughes did finish high in Cy Young voting.

It went like this.

Joe, we're demoting you to AAA to get your stuff right. We need to get Keuchel on the big league roster by TODAY, or he's leaving the organization.

Joe, realizing that his paycheck will be reduced to minor league pay while he's in the minors, "admits" he's actually hurt and has been for a few weeks (not so coincidentally, going back to the first game he sucked in).

Twins put Joe on the IL, they call up Keuchel so they don't lose him to another organization, and Joe keeps his major league paycheck.

Tada!!

I think maybe you guys are focused on the wrong numbers. Batting .236 as a team and striking out 10.25 times-per-game isn't going to get it done.

Sheep: Swing is just like Joe Mauer's.



Hope his production is consistently like MVP (on roids) Mauer vs slap it around Joe.

Stewart moved to the 60 day IL- that's no good.

Figures, don't make a trade, scrape off the waiver wire and hope.

Twins suck. I switched from Direct TV to Dish to save $60 a month for 3 years and get a 500$ gift card. Downside/Upside is Bally's isn't included. I guess I'm done watching this shit show of a baseball team for a while. We'll see if they do something to get me to subscribe to their streaming platform for $20 a month. It will probably take a strong start by the Wild or Wolves to get me to pony up. I'm so frustrated with pro sports and athletes and tired of paying through the nose to watch them disappoint me year after year.

Not a weird question. A timely one. We have a Cy Young winner on the roster now.

Reread my question. I didn’t mean the last time a Twin won Cy Young.

Great. The only guy with a lower OPS than Vazquez.
