Notching double-digit runs is pretty fun, do that again. Mikolas has struggled, to be generous, while Bailey Ober is a warlock, casting ineptitude spells on opposing batters while hurling 85mph heat right into the box.

Let's make it 3 in a row!

Austin Martin must have been on base too much to play three games in a row. I forgot the Twins like to platoon players when they are playing well....

I think I need to save this meme to my computer.  I think I'm going to be using it a lot this season.

Any chance the Twins will finally give Aaron Sabato a chance to play some first base or DH. Seems to be swinging it well at AAA. I would like to see him get a shot at MLB level. Maybe he us just a late blooming guy. Fedko is playing well too. 

A number of players need to go on the IL before Sabato even gets brought up in a conversation. The guy can hit a grooved pitch. I watched the Saints game last night and wondered what the Las Vegas pitchers were doing throwing it middle middle to Sabato. The last pitcher did not. Glad Sabato had a big game. He is still working on the dream. Also, Sabato cannot play first base, he is a DH.

Tonight, Ober will provide quite the contrast from Taj Bradley. Meanwhile the Twins face a struggling pitcher after crushing a guy coming off consecutive 10 K outings. What will be the hitting strategy?

Might be that the contrast between Ober and Taj will baffle the Nat Bats.

What about Fedko?

I have been hoping for this for years, but they don't seem to be in the Twins' plans anytime soon, unfortunately.

I'm not sure what more the Twins need to see in Fedko. He can hit, field, and steal bases. The problem is his position. With E-rod, Jenkins, and Gonzalez all top prospects, it's unfortunate that all of that outfield talent blocks him. I'm not sure why the Twins are keeping Outman, because IMO Fedko is the same type of player with a better bat and a little less speed. Fedko has been playing first base as well, so that might be his only way in. I hope he gets the call soon, but it's not likely.

Wonder why they haven't tried to flip him for a lottery ticket. You would think another team would take a flier and hope they catch lightening in a bottle at DH. He strikes out  some,  a little like Gallo, doesn't have a glove so that may be why. I mean if La tortuga could get a chance, a free swinger, you think Sabato could get an MLB chance. Maybe his future is in Bananna ball.

Nice to see Brock Stewart make his first appearance of the year, closing out the Dodgers win with a scoreless inning. Perhaps the Outman curse is lifted.

We are still better off paying him $10 mil to get season-ending surgery than to pay him $33 mil and still have season-ending surgery.  Plus, from a roster standpoint, we are now finding out what we have on the team.  It may not be what we were hoping for, but bad answers are still better than no answers.

Can we start fast against a guy with an ERA over 8.0?

 

 

 

 

Apparently not…….

Well, Fedko is a guy that is easy to like because he does a little bit of everything decently. The big mark against him is he swings and misses against better pitching (imo) and that makes it hard for him to be a distinct plus. I hope he gets a shot at some point this season. It is always difficult to predict injuries, trades, and dfa's.
