    It’s like buying a thousand shares of a $1-dollar stock hoping it might double or triple, but it just sits at $1.05. Almost nothing ventured, (next to) nothing gained. But, yes…it’s better than buying a $10 stock and having it settle at 1.05.

    Twins have already gotten 1 bWAR from him this season. That’s 2 more than I anticipated.

    5 innings and 70+ pitches!! Finally had good results with balls-in-play. Ironically, only struck out 3 of 20 batters faced, much fewer than he had been recently…even in the really bad starts. Baseball.

    No. I think we should keep trotting Alcala out there, and let Raya continue to fail as a 3-inning starter in the minors indefinitely.
  5. jkcarew
    With Rodriguez, you can make a case that his performance warrants a drop, not just the injuries.
  6. jkcarew
    Well, I guess it’s a good time not to have traded Paddack.
  7. jkcarew
    Beltre and Daiber De Los Santos on the struggle bus down on the complex. De Los Santos has the captain’s seat.

    I think you’re giving Buxton too much credit for one PA. IMO, when he hits a ball to the right side it’s purely by accident…and yesterday’s hit was way more likely to simply have been a case of him being a smidgen late. Having said that, he’s having the best offensive season of his career….on the heels of what was probably his best offensive season to date last season. The hot streaks maybe haven’t been quite as other-worldly like some in the past, but the slumps are not nearly as long/deep. And now the aggressiveness on the bases is back, as well.

    Interesting. Fwiw, I’m happy with just about anyone getting these at-bats besides Mike Ford. Nothing against him, I wish him luck.
  10. jkcarew
    It’s not a bad idea given what’s behind him. But it’s the exact type of bold move I don’t think this admin has in them. Paddock has become too important to their perennial plan of “making the playoffs” without regard to having any real chance of making a run.

    Nice to see Correa showing signs of being Correa. That’s huge for the club.
  12. jkcarew
    It’s astounding to me that a cast-off can immediately play with the confidence that he has shown from day one. Maybe dad instilled a “never doubt yourself” attitude? Don’t know how sustainable the hitting results are, but he’s also shown a surprising ability to do positive things in the field and on the bases. Good for him!

    I’m afraid that if the BB rate declines and the K rate increases (and it’s pretty darn bad now)…even moderately, which is common when entering the majors…he quickly becomes unplayable. Both the approach and health seem like a house of cards. I’d be happy to be wrong. Yes, we’ll see.
  14. jkcarew
    Diaw: .it’s 100% about whether he’ll be a legit mlb-level catcher from a defensive standpoint. Hill is just so far away still it’s tough to make the top 100 quite yet. I’d have ERod close to dropping out of the top 100.
  15. jkcarew
    Not as important as a playoff win, but probably the “best” win in several years. Up there with some of the classics through the years. And a turning point for Matthew’s, as well?
  16. jkcarew
    Get with the times. The player decides what position and what team/level. Lest they become upset and run away.
  17. jkcarew
    No. I think they should have him go 3-4 innings every 7 days (or is it every 9 days) for another couple of years. At least. 50 pitches in 2 inning for Marco Raya but 4 strikeouts and 9 whiffs. Efficiency remains a struggle but the stuff is sooo nasty. Ugh. More fake social media news to create false narratives and perpetuate unrealistic expectations. Raya's actual K% is 18. Far from extraordinary. In fact, well below league average. But when you consistently face 5, 6, 7+ batters each inning, and run deep counts...you might get one, even two K's.
  18. jkcarew
    Prielipp has a 4.30 ERA. He’s getting hit plenty right now at the AA level. Let him be. He’s not “dominating” the level regardless of how his results are spun here. Yes, he’s doing fine. But, let’s see if he can stay healthy and be stretched out later this year.
  19. jkcarew
    Still “cutting it loose” pretty much every “start” this season so far.
  20. jkcarew
    *yawn* 😉

    Raya might be the last guy I’d pick right now…anyone else who’s already on the roster…especially if the objective is just temporary.
  23. jkcarew
    I’m confident 142 wins will take the division 😉
  24. jkcarew
    Last three game-winning hits… 2-out walk-off base hit: DeShawn Keirsey Jr. 2-out 3-run home run: Christian Vasquez Late inning 3-run home run down by one: Kody Clemens Meanwhile, every bullpen button Rocco hits goes Jackpot. I hope the baseball gods aren’t upset about this.
  25. jkcarew
    Apparently, Rocco is waiting for a scenario where the Twins are down by a half-dozen, or up by a full dozen. Can’t say I blame him. But, won’t be able to get away with that forever. Maybe we see a mysterious trip to the IL in his near future.
