    If the sole purpose is so that you can DH Jeffers when he’s not catching (not that I agree with that necessity)…then Carmargo needs to be on the active roster for the foreseeable future. Malpractice to put anyone other than Jeffers in the DH spot right now when he isn’t catching. I suspect this to be the case…otherwise he would have caught in place of Vasquez in the last game. Right? Whatever the case, it looks awkward and silly…like most things so far.

    Because Correa and eventually Lewis will come back. The bullpen will get ‘longer’ as Duran, etc. are added. Those 3 just need to be within hailing distance of expectations to make a material difference. Also, some of the other batters are PROBABLY not as bad as they seem right now, as well. The team’s BABiP right now is 251…dead last in the league and 15 points lower than the worst team recorded in 2023. Not saying that that will change drastically…may stay among the bottom of the league…but it’ll improve from 251. (Last year it was 304). Guys like Buxton and Kepler PROBABLY didn’t completely forget how to hit home runs. I suspect their BA’s will remain very low…but that’s never prevented them from supplying some home runs…until this spring. They’ll eventually get their turn playing bad teams. Better is a relative term. Lewis won’t be back for a while yet. But currently they’re on pace to lose 105 games. I thought they’d be 5-10 games over 500 this season. I could still see them…eventually…playing at/near that level. Question is…how deep will the whole get in the meantime? If they play 5 games over in the second half, it won’t matter if they’re 10+ games under heading into it. But…relative to this thread…my point is only that they would at least be more “fun” to follow and watch.

    Those two worlds series champion rings he wears are pretty, though.

    Encouraging start by Pablo…and against a legit lineup. Any scenario that has the Twins surviving and eventually thriving includes Pablo being consistently good. Maybe this is the start of at least that part of it.

    Is it just me, or does radio not seem like the best way to maximize Lexi’s appeal? Best wishes on the career, though!

    It will definitely get better…but by enough and soon enough to matter? I’m still fairly optimistic there will be some decent-to-good baseball to watch later in the season. Less sure it will be within the context of a playoff push.

    No. In hindsight, there was probably a better argument for it if they had made such a decision early in the offseason…when they decided they weren’t going after anyone to replace Gray (or Maeda). Tough to do in-season as you have to replace the bullpen innings lost, at the same time you’re probably giving up starter innings as you ramp the guy up.

    Buxton simply continues to show up for the Twins in every way possible to start the year. Ok…now you’re just trolling us.
  9. jkcarew
    Orioles look bored.
  10. jkcarew
    Rocco still not sure he can trust Camargo as this nail-bitter heads to the later innings.
  11. jkcarew
    It’s a miracle.
  12. jkcarew
    MVP! MVP! MVP!
  13. jkcarew
    Thank god for the earlier mound visit…or this could have been a big inning.
  14. jkcarew
    Yes…although, good is a relative term. Many teams are good relative to the Twins right now. Oakland is playing much better than the Twins, as well.
  15. jkcarew
    #1 way to avoid K’s…swing early and often. Usually doesn’t help runs scored, but holds down the K numbers.
  16. jkcarew
    No. And leave us alone!
  17. jkcarew
    Rocco squeezing every last drop out of that roster spot he gave Camargo.
  18. jkcarew
    With Brooks Lee due back in a couple of weeks? Supposedly. Interesting.
  19. jkcarew
    Gotta be an XL conspiracy theorist to come up with manipulating Alcala’s service time. We’re talking about a guy who’s been hurt forever and hasn’t even proved he has value yet. And turns 29 in a couple of months. Weird response from Rocco…but, they’re resting him. Kind of a desperate move…not willing to be a guy short for a couple of games. Then again, when you’re losing frequently, and you’re trying to win while scoring 2 or 3 runs…you do desperate things.
  20. jkcarew
    Probably the best 9-inning showing by the offense in a while. Sadly. 11 hits, 5 XBH, ‘only’ 9 K’s. But still only 4 runs…and never really in the game.
  21. jkcarew
    Probably more about maximizing the number of companies from which you can collect sponsorship money. If we gave them the hot dog gig as well, chances are we can’t afford guys like Santana.
  22. jkcarew
    When it comes to the 9 hole, we have a ton of options.
  23. jkcarew
    And guys not on base. Just struggling a bit in those two situations.
  24. jkcarew
    I’m on board…as long as ‘here’ is St. Paul.
  25. jkcarew
    Not to mention…the pitching 😜
