@thuuuuney Congrats dude. Fatherhood is the absolute best

[Matthew Taylor @MatthewTaylorMN]

@tlschwerz A shootout changes the fundamental way hockey determines a winner. The ghost runner doesn’t. You’re still playing baseball…pitch, hit, run, defend

[Matthew Taylor @MatthewTaylorMN]

The ghost runner extra innings rule is awesome. I don’t care what anyone says.

The Twins waiting to call up Walker Jenkins until their season is all but over is too on the nose.

Another day of Alex Jackson on the bench.

Another day that Walker Jenkins should be in the lineup.

Yoendrys Gomez’s control issues are a problem.

[Matthew Taylor @MatthewTaylorMN]

Serious question:

If you’re playing Alan Roden in the outfield against a leftie over Alex Jackson, why is Jackson on the team?

This is so, so dumb.

[Minnesota Twins @Twins]

We have made the following roster moves

[Twins Daily @twinsdaily]

If the Twins are keeping Walker Jenkins in Triple-A to chase a future draft pick, they're prioritizing the wrong prize. https://t.co/l0KWohMGIC #twins #minnesota #mntwins

“Byron is not one who has played for the Cedar Rapids Kernels”

???

[Matthew Taylor @MatthewTaylorMN]

Royce Lewis has passed Kody Clemens, and is now 4th on the #MNTwins with a .751 OPS.

Lewis only trails Ryan Jeffers, Byron Buxton and Trevor Larnach in OPS.

[JD Cameron @J_D_Cameron]

AM #MNTwins News:

The Minnesota Twins are promoting top SS prospect Kaelen Culpepper.

Culpepper has an .845 OPS with 14 home runs (31 XBH), and 17 SB in 74 games for AAA St. Paul.

[Matthew Taylor @MatthewTaylorMN]

It’s roster management malpractice at this point.

Since July 29 (one week ago):

— Tristan Gray has 2 plate appearances and is 0-2 with 2 strikeouts

— Alex Jackson has 3 plate appearances and is 0-3 with 3 strikeouts

What the hell are we doing??

@KarterKudrna33 @twinsdaily @Twins Very fair! Could’ve gone for a double play, but can’t bank on that of course.

[Matthew Taylor @MatthewTaylorMN]

Should Derek Shelton have loaded the bases yesterday instead of pitching to Colt Emerson?

I broke it down in my latest for @twinsdaily:

[Matthew Taylor @MatthewTaylorMN]

@jackson_marsh2 @twinsdaily I have ERod ranked ahead of Tait. For this exercise I assumed that the Reds would ask for guys closer to the Majors which is why I had ERod in there.

[Matthew Taylor @MatthewTaylorMN]

I laid out a Hunter Greene trade that I think both the Red and Twins would actually do.

(Twins should do this)
