  1. That's a real possibility.....hadn't heard if the hip was a chronic thing or not. His arm seemed to hold up pretty well.
  2. Is Archer a possibility for the bullpen? Would he accept that role? IDK....but he seems like a guy at this point in his career that could be valuable throwing an inning or two in relief. He seemed to do well the first time through the batting order and than his stuff would go away. It would seem his fastball velo might tick up a bit if he knew he was only throwing an inning. His FB/Slider combo seems more suited for the bullpen anyway. Finally, he seemed to be a really sharp guy who got along well in the clubhouse. Just a thought.
  3. There aren't 100 better prospects in the game than Royce.....I don't care what Law has to say.
  4. I read that the physical part of the leg has already been completed so there is nothing to hold this up...... https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/1612865685289406486?s=20&t=0MZQRHZ6LdWloYVRNtCryg
  5. I'm sitting here with my mouth open........there is NO FREAKING WAY!!!!!
  6. I'd rather have Wacha than Bundy or Archer......
  7. I thought Ron Davis was going to be the best closer in the MLB.........?
  8. Greinke? Did you watch him pitch this past season? He is basically Dylan Bundy at this point in his career. Maybe worse.
  9. Pivot......Pivot.....PIVOT!
  10. Somebody please talk me off the ledge........
  11. https://twitter.com/JDL_87/status/1602736331117002758?s=20&t=GHVsRN1RzkaYwR-v6bEECg
  12. Arraez is the reigning batting champion and was a finalist for the Gold Glove at 1st base.....doesn't that (perhaps add Balazovic) get you Lopez (not an ace, but solid #2-3)? I think we vastly underrate Arraez.
  13. If you have a delivery that isn't easily replicated in the first place........and then you add in a knee issue and back pain (first i've heard that with him), it's no wonder he struggled. You start to over-compensate to alleviate pain in one place and it causes another. Step one in "fixing" him would be to try to quiet his motion to lessen all of the moving parts. His windup is all over the place and it's not hard to see that he's not consistent.
  14. It ain't gonna happen......but this is exactly what would have been said last offseason about the Twins signing Correa......
  15. He pinch hit last night and grounded out to second to end the game. He did not look healthy running down to 1st base. I've always admired his hustle, but to me he looks like he's hurt.
  16. How does someone pad their stats in baseball? You either hit/field or you don't. Do you think he's just trying harder now.???? He could've hit like this all year, but just chose not to???? Silly.
  17. Huh? Who has the front office traded away that you has the pedigree of those 3? Steer is struggling. Povich has had a good season but is at AA. Hajjaar has potential but he's been on the IL too and struggled since the trade. CES continues to mash minor league pitching but doesn't really have a defensive position. He seems redundant with the Twins. Not defending the front office (I guess i am) but it seems they traded the prospects they should have while hanging on the Lewis, SWR, Julien, etc.....
  18. Whoa.....let's pump the brakes a bit on Steer......he's hitting .218 with a .328 OBP....we have no idea if he's a flash in the pan or a legit major leaguer. 90% of the posters on here were fired up when they acquired Mahle. Hindsight is always 20/20.
  19. Agreed....Pagan needs to go. But Rogers has hit more than a "rough" patch.....I think he has one save (last night) since joining the Brewers....they are rarely using him in save situations. His second half struggles have become the norm. Would I like to have him on this team? Heck yeah, but pitching is not our problem right now....the lineup is.
  20. Just goes to show what learning to hit with a wooden bat when you're are young can do for you.... Speaking from experience, it is a HUGE change going from aluminum to wood.
  21. Just something to think about......
  22. I have a sneaky suspicion that Carlos is going to get very hot down the stretch......and we will be begging him to stay. Superstar players tend to step-up when they smell the playoffs/primetime and I believe he is a superstar.
  23. First it was tapeworm and now it's a bad haircut????? At least get your lies consistent.....SMH
  24. 65 pitches!!!! 65 5 innings....little to no hard contact. What does it take for guy to stay in the game? Would Rocco pull Bundy if he had a perfect game going if the linuep was turning over for the third time? It's like Rocco panics after 5 when the Twins have the lead. "If Jax is perfect....if Duran is perfect....if Lopez is perfect, WE WIN!!!" Guess what? That's not always going to happen. He has absolutely no feel for the game or when a pitcher has it on a particular night. This one is all on Rocco.
