@tristero69 @andluedtke Triple A is t for rookies, you’re supposed to make the team out of Double A. AAA is for rehab and lifer minor leaguers.

@andluedtke I feel like it’s ok (probably very good) to give Culpepper more than a single week in AAA

The 2026 Twins have zero juice. They have at least 3 players in St. Paul who are no doubt more talented than what they’re rolling out there now. But we’re just going to sit here and watch the most uninspired veterans for several more weeks to months instead. Great product.

@KashPrime And owned by Boeing at least the models I flew.

The Dash-8, was able to land and rescue US airmen when the C-130s got stuck in mud. Amazing engineering and built right here in Toronto.

@BarstoolUofM Basketball and hockey going to be a disappointing week.

PLEASE CANCEL CLASSES TOMORROW MICHIGAN

@jbeam123 @StarTribune Proof it goes back to Clinton.

@StarTribune Weird. Because you've known about it for decades.

Minnesota has been under a massive spotlight in recent months after allegations of widespread fraud in social service programs. Our Essential Minnesota podcast took a closer look at that fraud in a three-part series addressing how we got here, what’s really going on and what the solutions to dealing with fraud in Minnesota are.

@CodifyBaseball Just proves the twins have been getting hosed by the league for years.

Has the ABS Challenge System changed your opinion of MLB umpires and their skill at calling balls and strikes?

@NHL how’d you miss that puck over glass. Instead of a power play the wild get screwed

@npes1 @itswpceo @Riley_Gaines_ Air Force doesn’t want the a10 anyway. Been trying to kill it since the 90s. Designed for a euro land war that didn’t happen.

@MPR4PARGIBJP @KeatySohei47031 @itswpceo If spineless Carter wasn’t in office it wouldn’t have been 45 years of death to America after attacking the embassy.

@KeatySohei47031 @itswpceo What business does USA have in IRAN ??

@tlschwerz That’s more of a strike the Phil cuzzi’s “foul” ball

Should a pitch that is 0.1% a strike be a strike? Seems pretty straightforward.

@BadSportsRefs Fair or foul ball?

You make the call: should pitches that are 99.9%+ out of the zone like this be a strike?

@ramizarchi1144 @joshiamitabhevo It’s like they don’t know why the great Canadian caper needed to use the airport. Originally the cia wanted to ride bikes out until they were reminded it was winter.

@joshiamitabhevo How come the pilot survived 2 days in a hot desert without water, food, and that too after ejecting from the aircraft

Something about this F15 crew rescue doesn't add up. Why would one need C130s (carry 60-70 troops) for rescuing one or two aircrew and maybe a few troops whose helicopter got shot down during the rescue. It looks more like spl forces were in a temporary base with C130s etc. 1/3

@UmpireAuditor Can you explain who bad it is for the twins to have so many challenges already in 7 games or have they been getting squeezed for years?

Umpire Mike Estabrook had 6 calls overturned by an ABS challenge in the Braves Diamondbacks game. He now leads the league with 11 calls overturned on the season.

@BadSportsRefs Would that be a fair or foul ball?

Should they be a strike?

@IcyVert Would that have been a fair or foul ball?

Going forward something needs to be done about this. This absolutely should not be a strike.

@CodifyBaseball We’ve known for years the twins pitchers get squeezed and twins batter# have to protect the opposite batter’s box.

ABS Challenges So Far: 28 Minnesota Twins 😮 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 New York Yankees 17 Los Angeles Angels, Seattle Mariners, Atlanta Braves 16 Tampa Bay Rays, Chicago White Sox 15 Baltimore Orioles, Athletics 14 Cincinnati Reds, Miami Marlins, Toronto Blue Jays 13 Detroit Tigers, Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres, San Francisco Giants, Colorado Rockies, Cleveland Guardians 12 Philadelphia Phillies, New York Mets, Houston Astros, Washington Nationals, Boston Red Sox 11 St. Louis Cardinals, Pittsburgh Pirates, Arizona Diamondbacks 10 Chicago Cubs, Milwaukee Brewers 9 8 Kansas City Royals, Texas Rangers

@CodifyBaseball If that hit the chalk line it’s a fair ball.

the lowest strike confirmed by ABS in history

@worldhockeyrpt NCAA banned fighting about 15 years ago. Something about CTE.

JUNIOR HOCKEY PLAYOFFS ARE UNDEFEATED.

Then returned to Judea when it was time too.

@Hayden__Shearer @SleeperAstros Does 10% or more of the ball need to hit the chalk line to be a fair ball?

@SleeperAstros Shouldn’t be too hard to say more than 10% of the ball needs to hit the zone. With the tracking, should be easy to calculate how much of the ball’s volume overlaps with the strike zone. These overturns are ridiculous. That was a ball

I’m already sick of ABS…

@houstonfan4life @SleeperAstros Fair or foul ball?

@SleeperAstros It’s like 99% ball so it’s called a strike… t doesn’t make sense
