    So frustrating to me to see the 400+ OBP guys Martin and Larnach constantly hitting BEHIND the guy who hits first-AB HR’s about every other game.

    Seems like SWR has been around forever…and yet he’s younger than both Festa and Matthews.

    Most of the moves make sense to me. Soto still too high for me. 12-15 range makes more sense to me until he’s actually able to pitch at least semi-regularly…and exhibiting health and the assumed upside. Can always move up from there if those things happen. IMO.

    Remarkable…fun to watch. It doesn’t go down in the books as a no-hitter, but it’s truly more impressive than a lot of no-hitter’s (excluding perfect games), when you consider the zero walks and number of pitches needed to get 27 outs.

    You mean like Hrbek, Gaetti, Gagne, Laudner, Bush, Brunansky, and Viola mostly failed miserably when they were first brought up in the early 80’s? Yeah, that would be dumb.

    Too risky! We’re in a dogfight COMPETING for a postseason run in a very tough division…and only 1.5 back in the Wild Card race. Sincerely, (no, really…I’m being sincere) Tom Pohlad

    Playing the same positions as Jenkins or Rodriguez is a great recipe for steady employment.

    It’s an embarrassment of riches is what it is. The only problem now is for Shelton to figure out how to distribute the oncoming avalanche of save opportunities in a fashion that keeps all these stallions happy.

    He’s a high-ceiling 20 year old pitcher that pretty consistently has been able to actually pitch since becoming a pro. (See Charlee Soto.) I’m thinking if that remains the case for another 2-3 years there’s a good chance that the end product will be useful.

    Still meaningful stat…you just have to multiply the number of errors a player has been given by some factor (much) greater than 1 to arrive at the ‘actual’ impact. 😉 But, you’re right. It’s a joke. If that play happens in Minnesota the Twins official scorer awards the error…not because it’s the right call…but because it protects the home-town pitcher’s ERA. On the road, it’s a hit to support the home-town batter. Over and over and over. All the money in the sport and they refuse to employ non-partisan, league-assigned official scorers that rotate/travel as do the umpires.

    Actually, only 3. You’re giving Cleveland just a bit too much credit.
  12. jkcarew
    This never gets old 😂

    Twins win back-to-back one-run games against Cleveland, man bites dog…and other oddities…

    Zero chance he plays short. Zero. The same could be said for Winokur, and during his age-19 season at Fort Myers he committed a lot of errors, but not anywhere close to the rate Young is making them.
  15. jkcarew
    Scouts have always said Gonzalez has a cannon for an arm. Plus outfield arm but not the range to go along with it.
  16. jkcarew
    Currently there are a handful of org players that have committed as many as 5 errors this season. A slightly smaller handful has committed 6. Brandon Winokur has 7 errors. No one has more than that, except… Quentin Young committed his 13th last night. Yikes. As the saying goes…he better hit.
  17. jkcarew
    Holderman is the second best name I can think of for a relief pitcher…right behind Saverman.
  18. jkcarew
    We need to teach Funderburk how to play right field so he can catch his breath and we can use him again later. Has been one guy that’s doing decently. Edit: I’m joking. Mostly.
  19. jkcarew
    I think just a brain fart by Jeffers….gotta know you have two remaining…gotta do it right away, blah blah.
  20. jkcarew
    That’s a run lost on the bases (potentially), and a run lost batting Buxton in front of Martin (there’s been a number of those)…just sayin.
  21. jkcarew
    Outs are really really valuable. One bad send negates several “elite” sends.
  22. jkcarew
    Jeffers just making himself a ton of money right now.
  23. jkcarew
    I don’t remember the Saints playing in Vegas…or anywhere in the pacific time zone last year. Probably did and I just missed it? Mendez hasn’t done anything spectacular in his first 2 AAA games, but sure hasn’t looked overwhelmed…2 singes, 3 walks, 2 K in his first 9 PA.
  24. jkcarew
    Kinda the opposite issue that Rodriguez has…Gonzalez has zero patience, and swings at a ton of pitches out of the strike zone and/or pitcher’s pitches early in the count. The bat-to-ball skills are so good, that it still doesn’t result in a lot of swing-and-miss. But is resulting in a lot of soft contact. Has a microscopic BABiP, so there’s probably SOME bad luck involved, but has work to do there for sure. The good news is the ball is going over the fence pretty frequently when he does make good contact, and his in-game power has been in question (by some)…but that part of it is trending pretty well.
  25. jkcarew
    My only surprise nearly a quarter of a season into 2026 is that we’re not much worse than several other clubs…like 7 in the AL alone..right now. Man there are a LOT of bad teams out there right now.
