| 1640064916236169217 | @LaVelleNeal He’s coming back from a major surgery, LaVelle. Not sure his age has anything to do with it. | 13 |

| 1640066289199710208 | @LaVelleNeal Yeah that's a great way to manage the health of your players. "You just came back from the worst injury a pitcher can have? I don't care, you are old so your health doesn't concern me, go out there and throw 120 pitches." | 9 |
| 1640699005326831618 | Gary Sanchez and Miguel Sano are gone. So are Dylan Bundy and Chris Archer. For @LaVelleNeal his optimism in the Twins this season has a lot to do with who's not on the roster. https://t.co/pVHDWM4VHQ | 8 |
| 1640036512870875136 | @LaVelleNeal Maeda has limited velocity and will be on a strict pitch count early on, if not all season. Why not just let the guy who had a tremendous Spring, (along with a STRONG arm) be the 5th and have KM be long-relief.. he did it just fine in LA. | 7 |
