    Just good news today… Raya is throwing more pitches in recent starts with the Saints.
  2. jkcarew
    At least the future hope is real. Just hope, but honest. The selling of a ‘contender’ over recent years has been 100% fraudulent.
  3. jkcarew
    And yet, it’s has a VERY strong correlation to teams that do well in the postseason. And that’s the point.

    We’ll look back at this game during the parade, Peter!

    Nice! Is it too late to buy?

    You only play good teams in the playoffs…you have to at least show that you can hold your own. At 27-29, Detroit actually has a MUCH better record than the Twins had in their recent postseasons. Yes, 27-29 actually gives you some hope…as does their top-of-rotation pitching.

    This makes Detroit a classic ALC champion/postseason club. Every. Single. Year.

    1000%

    Just catching up on the game now…greeted by this on the MLB app summary… Brooks Lee singles on a line drive to catcher Dillon Dingler Didn’t have that on my BINGO card.

    Sure you can. You can get one that DOES move the team. You can always do worse, just like you can always do better. Given the Pohlads track history, better seemed assured early in the process, now I’m not so sure.

    It’s 1000% called an error by the hometown scorer if it’s hit by a Twin. One of the subtle “ruining of the game” things that have been going on for the past 20 years or so. Official scoring has been backsliding into a partisan joke for years now.

    Nice visit by Vasquez…”you’re ahead 0-2…let’s nibble and then throw a fastball down the middle of the plate on 3-2”.
  13. jkcarew
    I think there’s probably no such thing as a bullpen proof lead currently.
  14. jkcarew
    It’s amazing what power does for the old OPS. Doesn’t take long at all for a guy like Wallner to right the ship when he finds his stroke.
  15. jkcarew
    Maybe our hitters are better than we think. Until now, they’re the only guys that haven’t been able to face the likes of Alcala and Paddack.
  16. jkcarew
    Pretty good analogy, I think. I was actually going to say a half-notch lower. Maybe like watching the quarter finals of the high school state tournament (big schools) in Texas, Florida, or California. It’s very young talent obviously, and I actually think it gets spread pretty thin by the time you’ve filled 50 or so rosters.

    It’s starting to feel like “be careful what you wish for”. While the Polads refused to spend money…the outcomes aren’t any different than if ownership wanted to spend money…but didn’t have any to spend. Why am I starting to get the distinct feeling that a new group is going to come in consisting of guys that had to massively leverage themselves to make the deal? Desperate to turn an annual operating profit is not the new owner scenario I was dreaming of.
  18. jkcarew
    No. Having a great year. But he’s missed way, way, way, way too much time in his career to have anything owed him beyond the millions he’s being paid. WAY too much time. Did I say WAY too much? Way too much.
  19. jkcarew
    Why not bring Raya up? Despite the fact that he probably “isn’t ready”…what difference does it make? If we’re going to blatantly and aggressively tank the remainder of the season, we may as well do it with players that have a future in the organization.
  20. jkcarew
    I wanted them to tear it down to the studs, and that’s pretty much what they did. Wish it had been done by an administration with an actual plan other than just saving money. But, IMO, it’s still better than doing nothing for the umteenth consecutive year.
  21. jkcarew
    Younger than Zebby Mathews and David Festa, with slightly better early results than both. Do you consider Matthews and Festa promising prospects?
  22. jkcarew
    That’s on the FO and ownership, not Correa. It’s not like there’s a salary cap the organization is butted up against…except their self-imposed one.
  23. jkcarew
    He was very good in 2022…not so good in 2023. Except, in 2023 he was the best player for the Twins in the postseason…one that included the club’s first postseason series win in about 100 years. Last year he was brilliant, but hurt. This year he looks like he MIGHT be fading.
  24. jkcarew
    I’d much prefer they trade Baldelli.
  25. jkcarew
    Don’t stop now. Sell! Sell! Sell! P.S. I think a lot of posters here don’t know what ‘sell’ means.
