They didn't have to wind up and try to throw 95mph every pitch because the eighth man in the order drops 24 bombs a year. Completely different sport, almost. It was more fun to watch, IMO, but the competition level wasn't close to what it is today. -
Not only a rookie but a rookie playing out of position, which he is.
-
It's predetermined because Ober hasn't pitched since 2019 and never pitched more than 80 innings in a season. By comparison, Jax pitched nearly 130 IP in 2019 and Barnes pitched just over 130 and neither have the significant injury history of Ober.

Josh Donaldson:
-
He runs more stiffly and slower than a 2005 Boston Dynamics robot, that's why.
-
I'm not saying that, only that cursing Rocco for making the logical call and watching a reliever vomit all over the mound AGAIN isn't really his fault. Especially considering the tools with which he's been given to work this season. He literally can't make a "right" decision because the entire bullpen spends pre-game bathing in gasoline.
-
Josh has zero ****ing legs anymore.
-
I get it with Ober given his history but the five inning start is just part of baseball now and it's not for the better of the sport.
-
So your hot take wasn't accurate, is what you're really saying.
-
Did I miss something?
-
Gordon was brutal in centerfield initially - as one would expect given his... zero... innings there - but it seems like he's polishing up at the position quite quickly. He may have a future as a no/little bat roving defender who can play a lot of places that aren't SS.
-
I agree. Caution is important but he ramped up nicely this season and is smack-dab into his prime physical years. If healthy, he should be able to push past 130 IP pretty easily, IMO. The decrease in IP hasn't corresponded with decreased injuries so pushing further in the direction of caution seems foolhardy and counter-productive.
-
This is my biggest problem with it.
-
Outstanding series of plays there.

I think the weather in Boston is awful right now.
-
I assume that to be the case. He’s playing full games for St Paul now.

Hard to say in certainty but he should be ready for at least 130 IP. He’s at 80 IP this season and next year he’ll be 26 years old. I’m more concerned with him reverting back to perpetually injured and not even hitting 100 IP, frankly.
-
As we saw with Arraez's play last night, I'd argue defense at critical positions is more important with a young pitching staff. Jax should have walked off that mound feeling pretty good about himself, holding his own on the road for five innings against a potent offense. Instead, we had the pleasure of witnessing yet another Minnesota Twins trash fire in the fifth inning. It's the front office's fault their backup plan at center was Jake Cave but he's the second-best they have right now, given that Kepler continues to not play the position.

Gilberto Celestino's quiet dominance
Brock Beauchamp replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
This is what I'm wondering as well. Sometimes, failing spectacularly can teach us things that common failure might not, fundamental things we may have covered up and missed otherwise. I hope that's the case with Celestino, as it'd be great if he learned *something* from being so unfairly overmatched. -
@h2oface Now take a look, I changed the related video widget to our brand red color, which makes it stand out as separate videos from the rest of the page.

Jax received a raw deal last night. I liked the vote of confidence from Baldelli by trotting him back out there for the fifth, at which point Jax induced what should have been three outs had Arraez not looped that terrible throw away from first base. The 2022 Twins need to focus on actual POSITION players. I don't see space for the likes of all of Larnach, Sano, Rooker, and Arraez all on the same roster.

I'll work on differentiating these two sections more clearly.
