Twins vs Braves March 25, 2024

[RpR]

Second Inning, teams tied at 4 Ks each.

Another big fly against one of our pitchers. With two on. Those really hurt. Sale looks pretty good for Atl.

I know spring training results don't mean much but man I can't help but feel anxious about our starting pitching. The FO has bet heavily on Ryan and Ober being good to great. If they both remain as back half starters we are in deep trouble

[jkcarew]

We’re at the point in time where the regulars shouldn’t be doing much experimenting, instead, focusing on dialing things in for the games that matter.

So…I wouldn’t mind if we scored some runs and our starters kept the ball in the park. Not gunna lie.

How come our pitchers give up runs because they are working on something but the other teams pitchers get our guys out when they are working on something?

Because the flacid excuse -- working on some thing -- is barrel over flowing with bovine dung; if the Twins have another 13 Ks on sub-Major League level pitching, and other teams hit and score easily, Twins have a real problem, hitting and pitching.

The Twins hitters look overmatched almost every game.

Assuming each team has the same amount of desire to win the game, the Twins look bad this spring.

The Twins batters this ST have looked very much like their batters the 1st half of last season... Dazed & confused 🫤

As a team I'll agree. But look at the guys hitting .300 or better - Julien, Buxton, Correa, Kirilloff, Santana, Jeffers, Castro. And I'm not concerned about Lewis. Most have decent slugging %'s too. If we want to get concerned about spring training numbers, it's the corner OF's that have struggled the most.

 

[RpR]

With the exception of Buxton, all the out fielders are underwhelming.

[SteveLV]

Yep, getting concerned about whether this team is gonig to be any good.  Look sub-500 to me so far.  Mediocre and injured pitching staff, lots of K's and empty AB's from the hitting side.  Fielding has been poor, too. 

Otherwise, how was the play Mrs. Lincoln?
