    Eeles… 111 G, 114 H, 19 2B, 8 3B, 12 HR, 67 BB, 68 K, 41 SB, 307/435/497 (932) …and this after starting the season with Southern Maryland of the Atlantic League (independent) I’m not positive the Twins consider him a prospect…although I would think they do at this point. It’s not like he’s 28 (he’s 24). One indication would be if they give him Minor League PoY. Nobody as deserving. Anyone with comparable/better numbers missed large parts of the season with injuries.

    Yes, we’re all capable of understanding that good decisions don’t always lead to good results. And bad decisions don’t always lead to bad results. This was a bad decision. You leave Matthews in…or you bring Sands in. If Sands gives up a 600 foot blast to the lefty, the game is tied, it’s the 5th inning, and you have a guy who has a good chance of getting the subsequent right handed batters out. Duran is NOT going to win the game for Boston by hitting a game-tying home run in the 5th inning. A desperate and risky move is not warranted. And the move is VERY risky because of what Irvin is (or, more accurately, what he isn’t)…and because of the 3 batter rule. If Sands sucks in that situation, you probably have a million people saying Rocco should have left Matthews in. But, I guarantee you not one sane person would be saying he should have put Irvin in (or Thielbar, either for that matter).

    That’s the spirit!! 😅

    Rocco so terrified of losing the game in the 5th inning…that he lost the game in the 5th inning. The horrible offense has turned Rocco from a guy who makes questionable bullpen moves into one that makes delirious bullpen moves.

    Wait. Margot essentially just pinch hit for Jeffers!!!!??? How can Jeffers play catcher with 10 broken fingers and 2 broken wrists?? Because he must not be able to swing a bat, right? (Not to mention Julien…or one of the pitchers.)
  6. jkcarew
    That reminds me…Raya going for the Saints tonight.
  7. jkcarew
    Thankfully, Boston lost yesterday…making them an “under 500” team. Now, Twins should take at least 2 of 3. If the Red Sox had won yesterday…no chance. Huge break for the Twins.

    Dick Fitts…sounds like some kind of physical disorder. I think I’d stick with Richard as well.
  9. jkcarew
    Correa’s 2023 was almost completely due to BABiP. He hit the ball hard all season…as he has this season…with a 72 percentage point improvement in BABiP. Buxton’s been having his most consistently productive offensive season ever, IMO. But when you have discomfort…

    For those scoring at home… Cleveland….not tired Detroit…were tired, now not tired Kansas City…starting to get tired Minnesota…battling a special and unique type of fatigue that fans just can’t understand (it’s particularly debilitating when facing average or better pitching) Chicago White Sox…completely exhausted since late March.
  11. jkcarew
    Baltimore is 3-7 in their last 10…which is worse than Boston…even worse than the Twins, somehow (thanks to the LA of A).
  12. jkcarew
    At the end of play on August 17, the Twins were 10.5 games up on the Tigers….with a +75 run differential relative to the Tigers. Now, they’re tied, and the Twins are -6 run differential relative to the Tigers. That was 33 days ago.
  13. jkcarew
    This started a long time ago. It’s pretty easy to argue that the Twins played a little better overall in this series than they had been. Were 9-17 in their last 26 games headed into the series. Consistently losing series to all types of teams, and nothing working well. Ironically, we’re relatively healthy…back end of rotation making baby steps…and SHOULD be capable of digging out of it. But 10-20 (in last 30 games) is a long time of being really bad, and time is running out.
  14. jkcarew
    I wouldn’t have gone with Henriquez, but I don’t get the pining for Alcala. He’s been awful…not shakey…awful…for some time now.
  15. jkcarew
    Ober has now pitched 20+ more innings in 2024 than he ever had in a season. No sign really of tiring. Something to be said, I guess for having an 6-9 frame and not throwing exceptionally hard. The excellent command of his off-speed stuff continues. Fell victim tonight of very questionable pitch calling on the second Naylor HR (and predictably poor offense).
  16. jkcarew
    If we call the Tigers 11-14 record over their final 25 games in 2009 a collapse…. what do we call the Twins record of 9-16 in their last 25 games?
  17. jkcarew
    This was far from the first time he’s beaten us in Cleveland. 😢
  18. jkcarew
    We weren’t likely to win the battle of the bullpens. And despite Correa’s clutch hit and Duran’s excellent inning…we didn’t. Would have liked to seen Sands, though.
  19. jkcarew
    Naylor still looking for the 82 mph changeups.
  20. jkcarew
    He was within 2 feet of giving us the lead! That’s how far the barrel of his bat was from crushing that pitch.
  21. jkcarew
    So close
  22. jkcarew
    What’s Cleveland’s win probability right now? 95%? 105%? Epic win if the Twins were to pull this one out.
  23. jkcarew
    Let’s just throw him changeups until he hits one.
  24. jkcarew
    71 mph off the bat. Getting eaten alive by Bibee tonight. Although, he has company.
  25. jkcarew
    Since his breakout game, Lee has done a pretty good job of breaking back in.
