    And yet, I don’t think anyone’s been tempted to try Julien in the OF, let alone CF.
  3. jkcarew
    You can tell…he’s out there jerking his head repeatedly upward and to the left. Should be ready soon.

    Nothing that a strong dose of penicillin won’t take care of.

    Bell with the rope-a-dope. Trying to convince Vogt to keep this starter in for one more inning.

    Break up the Wind Surgery! Don’t want to say it’s all Houston, because there were other call-ups…and Houston is doing well, not spectacularly, in the batters box…but there’s definitely been some life in Wichita lately.

    Mauer barely played half his career games at catcher. There are adult baseball fans walking around that remember him as a slightly above average first baseman. Meanwhile, among us that remember Mauer’s HoF-worthy catching years, nobody that I’ve read, heard, or watched has tried to compare Lackey to Mauer. Nobody. Nobody. If he’s great…if…it will be much more in a Buster Posey fashion than Mauer. And that’s a hope, not a comp. This comes across as simply an excuse to riff on someone’s all-time favorite player.

    If you sell the veterans, you WILL be burning option years. Still the right thing to do.

    To be fair, it was only most runs in a terrible AL.

    If hit by home batter: hit…to juice his stats If hit by away batter: error…to protect home pitcher’s stats. Official scorers are local guys that have to see/live with the home players. That’s the problem.

    This dream is a nightmare.

    Does this mean Jackson won’t be available to pitch tomorrow? Seems risky.
  13. jkcarew
    Looks like someone’s discounting the chance they score in the bottom of the 9th!

    Probably. Rojas threw 18 pitches on Saturday Prielipp threw 32 yesterday. Raya threw 22 pitches on Saturday (with poor results)

    I agree he gets a curtesy promotion at some point this year, probably. But not on the 40-man, so maybe later? Not that I know exactly where they are with the numbers right now.
  16. jkcarew
    Hope he’s hurt or bad so we can afford him. Brilliant! Tom P is on the phone as we speak to offer you a front office job. 😉 (jk…tongue-in-cheek…I know that’s not what you meant)

    Anything to be a 500 team and stay in the fight for the 3rd wild card, right? Such lofty goals.
  18. jkcarew
    Apparently the time was last week.

    Fast ball velo is down. Something else must be going on.

    Since Buxton became the permanent “every-day” starting center fielder at the beginning of the 2016 season: Twins starting center fielders in lineup… 978 games (and counting) - someone not named Byron Buxton…btw, someone should make a list of these guys 640 games (39.6%) - Byron Buxton If he started 338 consecutive games in CF…basically every game through the end of the 2028 season, he’d just break 50%. 11 seasons. And yet, from a personnel standpoint, the org has gone into almost (if we give them credit for MAT) every one of those seasons somehow expecting Buxton to be the answer in CF. Mind-boggling.
  21. jkcarew
    I’m thinking ‘31…the comp pick we get for Ryan should be an MVP candidate by then.
  22. jkcarew
    Well, if you’re going to give up 10+, I guess today looks like it was a good day to do it.
  23. jkcarew
    The odds are against both regardless, since they have so far to go. But I think your chances of being wrong on Tait are still significant.
  24. jkcarew
    Nice! Meanwhile, the 19 year-old with Fort Myers that I’m most exited about is Luis Fragoza. Riding a high BABiP right now…but 10 HR in 184 PA…and K’ing a shade under 25%. Also…did the Pohlads pocket our International signing pool last winter? Because the DSL Twins are horrendous. Keeping in mind, many organizations field multiple teams…the Twins lone squad is dead last of the 51 teams in Pitching. And I don’t think today’s 16-0 trouncing is going to change that.
  25. jkcarew
    30% K rate is overmatched? What would you call Quentin Young then,…6 months younger than Tait and in low-A ball? I’m guessing you wouldn’t have him in your top 20?
