    Jim Eisenreich was among the most overall talented CF the Twins ever had. Horrible break for the Twins that he couldn’t play, but ended up having a nice career much later after the Tourette’s was under control.
  2. jkcarew
    Or…close to as bad as it gets…depending on which half inning it is.

    Riding Jeffers in the two hole against a righty! Might as well. If I’m in the clubhouse I’m making sure Jeffers doesn’t shower or change uniforms. Not even his socks.
  4. jkcarew
    Yes. Still, a great at-bat, though, by Jeffers.

    I kinda agree with this sentiment…but I’ll give it until deeper into the season. But yes, if it continues, it will start reminding me of the Brusdar Graterol as a starter ruse.

    I don’t like it either. But MLB’s way of banning it (in their infinite wisdom) would undoubtedly be by expanding the rosters. Which every team would, more often than not, fill with yet another reliever, which only compounds the low BA and high K theme…and the shorter and shorter ‘max effort every pitch’ starts. So, no thanks

    Kind of a vague ‘I wonder what the post-game spread is going to be’ expression. And I can’t find any fault in that tonight.
  8. jkcarew
    Yep. Strike outs are an issue for the Twins. But as the Dodgers showed and as Detroit is showing tonight…the bigger problem is what’s happening when we DON’T strike out. And that’s pretty consistently nothing.

    Buxton’s going to avoid the golden sombrero the old fashioned way…by grabbing some pine.
  10. jkcarew
    Got Tonkin just in time. It would be a shame to have to use a good pitcher right now. Smart.
  11. jkcarew
    I would throw Okert’s jersey on Wallner and have him finish the game.
  12. jkcarew
    Didn’t look ready at all for the show in ST…but right back to tearing up AA. HR and BB in his first 2 PA tonight. A crumb of good news.
  13. jkcarew
    If the CIA was ever going to kidnap Castro and secretly exile him to an uncharted island…now would be the time.
  14. jkcarew
    All he needed was another 3 outs.
  15. jkcarew
    Two balls out of the infield in first 19 PA for our favorite club.
  16. jkcarew
    The underlying numbers for Vasquez are interesting and encouraging. I guess. Still, as a Twins fan, I’ve seen enough poor results from him, that I’ll have to remain in the ‘believe it when I see it’ camp. The Twins paid him last year too, right? Last year Correa was a very good player with a ridiculously low BABiP. This spring, he’s been a very good player with a nice BABiP.

    I feel like we’re being force fed the Buxton ‘good news’. His slash line is what it is. Meanwhile, a recent TD article posited that Buxton’s frequent swings and misses this season are a ‘good sign’ because last year he was forced to take strikes. Really?? Can’t we wait for him to actually become productive, before we declare him ‘back’…or even ‘good’ with the bat in his hands? After all, counting on a 30-year-old guy with a career 300 OBP and a 106 OPS+…and a track record of extreme inconsistency…a guy who hasn’t been ‘good’ offensively by any definition since 2022, and a guy who has never had anything close to a good AND complete season in his career…for that guy to be the one ‘largely’ responsible for a club’s offensive renaissance this season is bold, if not a bit of a stretch. In the meantime, his value remains primarily defensive…which is great, because that value remains significant.

    ooo, oo, oo, oo, Stay'in alive! Stay'in alive!
  19. jkcarew
    Same approach he’s always had.
  20. jkcarew
    We don’t sweat his production. Just his health.
  21. jkcarew
    Huh?? After tonight, the Twins K rate will be at about 28%. And literally, everyone is complaining about it.
  22. jkcarew
    Wallner came into this game with the 4th highest OBP on the club. That’s where we’re at.
  23. jkcarew
    Bored
  24. jkcarew
    107 mph exit velocity for Julien…against a lefty. For an out, of course.
  25. jkcarew
    30 minutes ago Stewart was out in the bullpen snacking on a hot dog and sipping a beer, thinking…well, no way I’m gunna be pitching tonight…
