    This one is actually good with very legitimate stuff. …so, we’ll probably get to him
  2. jkcarew
    CF, LF, bench, shut down, buyout/retire….ANYTHING but DH. Anything. And oh…by the way, if he does play, slide him down in the BO…way down…7,8,9 depending on which catcher is playing or Gallo is in, etc. He may have a hot streak coming…always impossible to say with him, but we don’t need to bat him 3-5 waiting for it to come.
  3. jkcarew
    Ironically, he has some Gallo in him. K’ing over 30% at AA and the Saints this year. But, yes…Joey is at 40%, and Severino is young enough that you’d think he could improve on it.

    Yes, Buxton’s been great defensively…and that’s where a very big chunk of his WAR has come from…a flawed defensive component of the metric. He is a slightly above average offensive player (less this year, and always oscillating between great and horrible)…which is a far cry from what expectations were. And he never comes close to playing full seasons. If you want to consider him a top 15 Twin in terms of actual accomplishments on the field…that’s your opinion. To me, he’s not close to that. And I hope for better things from Lee and Jenkins….mainly, as my post stated, that they can take their current talent (which is absolutely less than Buxton started with)…and consistently BUILD on that, which Buxton and Sano never did…whatever the reasons.

    Coincidentally, my father was a Detroit fan. He was 35 when Detroit won the World Series in 1968. I’m pretty sure game 7 was a weekday afternoon game…he about tackled me when I got off the school bus. So no, these are not my parent’s Tigers. 🙂 Yes, they’re on the upswing, but a long, long way from good. Although, they’re still trying to win games, which makes a big difference at this point in the schedule.
  6. jkcarew
    You mean, like Buxton and Sano were?? I’d rather they just improve over time. Fwiw…I’m hoping Lee is not a prospect in 2025.
  7. jkcarew
    Add Severino to the long list of AAA bats with which we can be infatuated. Serious question…how does he grade out defensively? Is he a legitimate second or third baseman…or is he yet another DH at the major league level?

    “This run of deflating at-bats can't continue against the likes of Texas and Cleveland in the coming weeks, or the AL Central race will be tighter than it needs to be.” How, exactly? The worst offensive teams in the majors (in order): Oakland, Detroit, Kansas City, Cleveland (and sinking), Miami, White Sox. The Twins have been the same frustrating, inefficient and inconsistent offensive team all year. It just doesn’t matter. Detroit is the only team left that even cares right now. They would have to make up 7 1/2 games over the last 37…and they’re Detroit.

    I knew the Pirates had this kind of performance in them. I knew Laz Diaz had this kind of performance in him. I did NOT know Keuchel had this kind of performance in him. That right there was some UGLY Major League Baseball all around…with maybe the lone exception being Keuchel’s ability to exploit a ridiculous strike zone.
  10. jkcarew
    K’s are the least of his offensive issues. His K rate is below league average…one of few on the team that at least can say that.
  11. jkcarew
    Umpire with a plane to catch.
  12. jkcarew
    The win is that he’ll be better than MAT offensively. But will he be?
  13. jkcarew
    But when is it ok to say Kepler’s having a good year? I know 110 OPS+ is nothing to write home about for a corner outfielder…but, you can win with it, it’s decent, and light years better than last season.
  14. jkcarew
    Or maybe that pitch 5 inches off the plate will be a strike all night.
  15. jkcarew
    The umpire did everything he could.
  16. jkcarew
    Well, technically he struck a 94mph fastball with his hands. 😉
  17. jkcarew
    X-rays negative…contusion…looks like no IL stint. At least until after he sits about 6 games.
  18. jkcarew
    Note to Jhoan… THROW YOUR BLEEPING FASTBALL!
  19. jkcarew
    I’m guessing Farmer had not been in the tunnel taking swings?? Practice is overrated.
  20. jkcarew
    Force of habit. He forgot Julien was the DH tonight.
  21. jkcarew
    Fastballs and change ups to get ahead…sweeper to finish! who knew the sweeper would work better when the first one the batter sees is when he already has two strikes!!??!
  22. jkcarew
    Jax back on the horse!
  23. jkcarew
    Rocco was counting on one hand the number of innings remaining, and on the other hand relievers he’s willing to put into a tight game.
  24. jkcarew
    But Shaun Anderson.
  25. jkcarew
    It was an HR, which has been an issue, obviously. Otherwise dominated, though.
