@auntcarol2 @Vollmsy They aren't meaningfully different than start of year (29). Low point was May 7 at 18, high point at April 13 at 47

@Vollmsy If I remember correctly, this is better than the one I saw much earlier in the season. Progress!

@StraitOuttaMinn @RevampedRain I would rather have Rojas be the #6 starter and start in St Paul than make him a reliever now. He would still get 20+ starts, since the odds of having a full rotation stay healthy an entire year is essentially zero.
They did that with Ober once, I believe 2023.
English
@RevampedRain Not if they keep Ryan, which should obviously be the goal
English
The great thing about this depth is what it means for being able yo make some of them relievers, like Rojas, I do think they should try to extend Ryan and they should be talking to him right now, especially considering how cheap this team is next season
Grant@GrantMN3
Bradley (96.5) Rojas (95.6) Matthews (95.3) Prielipp (94.9) Abel (94.7) probably room to grow with all but Bradley too. whew.

@Brandon_Warne The rating makes complete sense if you view the Twins as a farm system for other teams rather than its own team
English
@Gneptune @TheNFLDrop The current numbers are fake, there haven't actually been any trades on anyone besides Kyler.
English
@TheNFLDrop Am I missing something? How can Kyler have an 82% chance to win the job if Wentz has a 28% chance & JJ has a 48% chance.
82% + 48% + 28% = 158% not 100%

@soundlink_trent @notbubbawallace I have strong doubts that contract is actually enforceable on either side
English
@notbubbawallace Dont think he can. Richard gave brexton a "contract" when KB extended his at RCR.
Toyota would have to steal him away for that.
English
@Nebraskademsoc Sorry for the shitty photo but this was the best I could do with this district. Would backfire terribly for the GOP; there’s just too many Dem voters in Wisconsin to pack them all into just one district. Districts 1,4 and 8 are also only barely over +10
English
@SethTweets Yeah, and conversely hate it when you take a guy who is 35+. Out of 5 guys, 3 will be terrible, one will be meh, and another will be solid and you get him for another 3+ years.
English
I love the concept of grabbing bullpen guys on MILB contracts and the waiver wire. (if they're younger than 30) Especially when they throw 95+ like Gomez and Acton. (who are closer to 26-27!)

@natehoodstp Northern exurbs are growing a ton; 1st, 2nd, and 5th fastest growing counties are north of Hennepin.
English
@bpank1 @natehoodstp Both didn't have the 2020 population to make this list. Both would be tied within 1% of Rosemount.
English
@natehoodstp Surprised that Otsego, St Michael aren’t on the list?

Insane how Paradox tried to make a more realistic simulation that showed why mass expansionism isn't always ideal and the players are revolting against it

@RustyGoomba It is if one of them is also not at a premium position with a 74 wRC+
English
is it a good thing to have 3 of the worst defenders at their respective positions on one team

@JesiahWaldner @TJStats Statcast broke so there is no info on his pitches.

@Logan1650 @J_D_Cameron There is absolutely no chance they make the Varland trade if they viewed him as a RP.
English
@J_D_Cameron Does the org view him as a starter or likely reliever?
English
Kendry Rojas is through a scoreless first inning.
Fastball sitting 98mph and touched 99mph
Guessing he gets two-ish innings today.

@CespedesBBQ The skill in calling a game is likely pretty similar to the skill in knowing when a challenge is worth it.
English
this isn’t just Jazz — it continues to shock me how frequently batters (who are objectively worse at ABS than catchers) are challenging early in games with zero runners on base and often early in counts
leverage wise it just seems like an outrageously poor risk/reward calculus
Talkin' Yanks@TalkinYanks
Jazz loses another challenge
English
@JonPgh Can we just enjoy what we have while we have it, man?
English
Look at these Twins pitcher fly ball rates
Every single starter has a GB% below 33%. That's so, so low. They are going to get TANKED when it warms up.
English
Buy your stocks now. Early returns are this guy is too good for Low-A

@DanFriedman81 Making a bold assumption that they make it past 2 seasons.

If they can’t do the show at a pace of about a book per year, by the time they get to “Deathly Hallows,” the kids will all be 30 and the professors will all be dead.

The HARRY POTTER TV series won't have one season a year "For some of the bigger shows like Harry Potter, huge world-building shows, it would be nice to have those on an annual basis. But from a production point of view, it’s just not possible." - Casey Bloys

@JEdwardWoody @favelaoverlord China imports in total 11MMb/d. Iran exports 2. They aren't reselling it, at least in significant amounts.
English
@favelaoverlord Strait of hormuz is another of the many topics lately where I can't separate reality from fiction
If this is true, will China dramatically increase its imports (of very cheap / stranded oil) and resell it? Like how people work around US sanctions?
English
this is fantastic news. means China will continue to purchase discount oil and *not* be bidding on the open market
MenchOsint@MenchOsint
Oil tankers continue to export Iranian oil to China, per TankerTrackers. Meanwhile US/Allies-owned tankers are unable to transit the strait.

@cremieuxrecueil His main partner (Denny Hamlin) is 10th all-time in Cup wins. Jordan is extremely attractive to sponsors, which is vital in racing.
English
How does he does it?
How can someone just jump into a well-established sport like NASCAR and roll the whole league? I want to know the secret sauce.
This feels like when MoistCr1TiKaL bought an Apex team and rolled everyone.
Sports seem to leave too much alpha on the table!
Jon Root@JonnyRoot_
Michael Jordan’s, 23XI Racing, did something today that has never happened in NASCAR history: They’ve won the first 3 races of the season 🔥 LeBron could never.
