    Julien at a 47 homer pace. It would be the type of disappointing that I could live with.
  2. jkcarew
    Or 1 game in a row without giving up 2.
  3. jkcarew
    Like the HR, we never thought it would ACTUALLY happen. But, we had a drill to dive under our desks just in case.
  4. jkcarew
    Castro launches missile!!
  5. jkcarew
    Now, THAT’S a good one!

    Now, THAT’S a good one!

    Is it mandated? And do they all have to do so in the same game?

    For now, it just seems Festa is struggling with command and efficiency. He doesn’t seem to have entered the Balazovic stage of constantly getting hit hard…pitches in the strike zone getting demolished on a regular basis. Until then, I’ll remain optimistic.

    Surprised they don’t start the “prospects” less frequently but have them attempt more pitches/innings per start? They have the numbers. The shorter starts, but ever-increasing injury rates nonetheless, in the majors are a direct result of this approach of starter development, IMO.

    Who Gets the Most Blame for the Twins’ Poor Start? In the immortal words of our Chief…. ”Yes”
  11. jkcarew
    Not until AFTER the double. LOL…Rocco…you can’t make it up!

    In the Twins situation, no such thing as a bad win (as long as Lopez is ok). Desperately need to stay alive until MAYBE they start playing better. Larnach has been a savior…and maybe Buxton goes on one of his 2-week hot streaks. Whatever it takes, please.

    Our lefties are 2-11 with 7 K’s and 0 BB’s against this guy.
  14. jkcarew
    I mean…bWAR has him at -0.8 through one-eighth of a season. So…no. It can’t be.
  15. jkcarew
    Just as far as I can remember. Although worth noting…I remember the Lindbergh kidnapping.
  16. jkcarew
    As much on the first two batters that K’d as it was on Castro.
  17. jkcarew
    I didn’t see it that way at all. You had 5 everyday bats with or without Polanco…either Polanco or Julien. There was zero chance Julien wasn’t going to be a starter…IMO.
  18. jkcarew
    Not remotely close to a strike
  19. jkcarew
    Yikes…I guess the lads better be swinging it tonight.
  20. jkcarew
    Unique. Not usually considered a premium defensive position…but, apparently a true statement.
  21. jkcarew
    If you guaranteed me that the Twins would sweep all 4 games…I’d gladly accept a squeaker…even 2. True, they gotta actually start playing better for it to matter…but for now, just so desperate for W’s in numbers.
  22. jkcarew
    The good news is many pitchers could post a 15 OPS+ if you had to use them.
  23. jkcarew
    So, the question becomes…who thought Santana was signed to be a full-time 1B even WITH a healthy Kirilloff?…in the lineup every day against righties and lefties…and then still liked the signing? Anyone? I sure didn’t. And I would have hated the signing if I had expected that.
  24. jkcarew
    Not that complicated, right? Rocco must really, really, REALLY, love Santana’s defense.
  25. jkcarew
    I would say, that a guy who made $21M/yr…five years in the past…signs for $5M/yr in 2024…he probably expects a diminished role, as would be a reasonable expectation of the fans of that team.
