    During the entire decade of the 60’s (his prime) the HIGHEST K% Killebrew had was 21%….and he averaged a K rate of about 15%-16% during the decade. Walner’s K rate is a little over 100% higher. Not really a legitimate comparison at all.

    See what I mean? “Winning each of the 3 game series” was highly unlikely the way they’d been playing.

    5. Because the club isn’t going to hold a lead past the 6th inning for the remainder of the season anyway?

    This club doesn’t belong in the playoffs…and, if they make it regardless, they’re out no matter who they play. This isn’t the same team they were through July. Not even close. It happens. Currently, this is a completely broken club, and nothing is going to change drastically enough in the next two weeks to make a big enough difference.

    Ever be watching one of those triathlon competitions where the clear leader starts cramping, vomiting, and losing bowel control with a quarter-mile to go? They’re done. It might take 10 minutes for the next competitor to show up and take the lead…but it doesn’t matter. They’re done. If nobody shows up? Still done.

    Lotta people in cowboy boots wearing Chris Young jerseys.

    It’s a good crowd. A little late arriving…most around the bottom of the 7th.
  8. jkcarew
    For a very brief period of time, yes.

    The K-rate has been nearly 33% even during the good months. Since he doesn’t take a ton of walks (even taking into account his high HBP rate), his value is extremely dependent on high HR% AND high BABiP. History tells us this is a tenuous path. Feast can turn to famine. In the meantime, it’s been feast. And I agree, at least in theory, that you can absorb a little more of the famine if you don’t already have a lineup littered with this profile.

    This may be the act of an emotionally and/or mentally ill person in danger…someone who desperately needs help. It may be the act of a psychopathic, selfish, —-hole. Time will tell. But, we’ll probably never know. And you release him either way.

    If this is true, they’re in deep trouble. They’ve won or split 3 of the last 7 series.

    Get ready for DH Buxton. Not that the results can’t be better than the 2023 version of DH Buxton.
  13. jkcarew
    The good news…ERod looks to potentially be another Buxton. The bad news…ERod looks to potentially be another Buxton.

    Assuming? They’ve gone 6-12 in their last 18.

    Eeles is the minor league player (hitter) of the year for the Twins, right? Nobody who completed anything close to a full season is even close. The good fans of Wichita were short-changed this season. Pretty much terrible offense for almost the entire year…and downright unwatchable since ERod went down…and that was over 3 months ago.
  16. jkcarew
    Because the team needs him to play 2nd base? I know…so yesterday…the game has evolved past the silly notion of the team’s needs coming before the player’s. Basically, the club is asking him to leave as soon as he hits free agency, right?
  17. jkcarew
    I’ve done exhaustive research. He’s indisputably in the Top 14. Probably near the bottom of the top 14. But, top 14. Anyone who says he’s not is just a biased hater.
  18. jkcarew
    IDK…they did a good job tonight of pulling together to make Tommy Watkins feel better about himself. If empathy is a postseason tiebreaker…

    Think of the honor for such a journeyman to be a part, however brief, of the Best Bullpen in Baseball.

    My name is J, and I’m a Twins fan.

    I’m here because misery loves company.

    Wichita’s lineup these days…yikes. Like watching paint dry…really good paint. The kind that never causes runs.
  23. jkcarew
    The good news is Raya is throwing more pitches finally. The bad news is, he still only gets about 12 guys out in the process. 21 starts this year at Wichita, 77.2 innings. And always with 6 days rest between starts. Lots of K’s, but also lots of hits+walks and inefficiency. I’m not sure the ceiling has definitively been lowered in my eyes…but an MLB arrival (as a starter) seems at least a little less like a sure thing, and the timeline for such seems to be lengthening.

    As per usual…a TD article puts the hex on a player. Soto was whacked around pretty good Wednesday night. Oh, well. I also am excited about the prospects of both Soto and Winokur. Sure, anyone at the A- level remains a long-shot to reach their ceilings…but with these two, the ceilings seem very very high.

    Gotta admire what he’s accomplished…especially given the path he had to forge. Special.
