    Jackson, oh, my!
  2. Doctor Gast
    TB hit a good pitch
  3. Doctor Gast
    TB steals 2B on a LHP?
  4. Doctor Gast
    We got out of that one unscathed
  5. Doctor Gast
    A stolen base changes the situation completely for the worse
  6. Doctor Gast
    Many said "Oh, he'll regress, he can't maintain this production." Even if he regress a little, he'll still have pretty good numbers.
  7. Doctor Gast
    I noted he gets primary high stuff.
  8. Doctor Gast
    2B is his natural position
  9. Doctor Gast
    What is this Margot subbing Kepler?

    I like all of them but the Nationals may not be sellers. My main concern now is Thielbar. Everybody hopes that he'll be able to come back. They'll give him every opportunity to do so. but there's a good chance that he doesn't. If he doesn't we could be looking at a very good LHRP. MIA has Tanner Scott & A. J. Pukk who'd be 2 good choices. My choice for RHRP is Varland & hopefully later Canterino.

    Ricky Castro, although a small sample size in low A, is showing promise to add to the pipeline. High draft picks seems to be volatile & takes a long time to develop. I'm content in the way they are able to find opportunities in the lower draft & develop them into potential low to medium-tier SPs. Then find a Lopez or a Ryan on the market & turn them into something more.

    Lee is keeping up the pressure. Martin shouldn't be sent down. FO should make some difficult decisions for them that should be easy. Along with Lee is Wallner, Kiriloff will heal & Julien when he figures things out. It's time for FO to undo at least in partial, the mistakes they made in the off-season, They can't completely undo everything. Eeles is hungry, IMO he wants to make the most of the opportunity that he has. Seth, would love to see an interview with him. Balazovik is frustrating, after a good outing he follows up with a clunker
  13. Doctor Gast
    Looks very promising! The trickle from the pipeline seems like it'll turn into a gusher with pitchers like Castro. Don't know how many will turn into high-end MLB SPs but we can hope.

    I'm also a big fan of Ben Rortvedt. A pretty good defensive catcher (Gerrit Cole preferred catcher) who can hit when allowed & coached to be himself. I hated to see him go & advocated to bring him back. Now that TB has him, they won't give him up.
  15. Doctor Gast
    Alcala isn't somebody we want to overuse. I'm also in the camp of using long relief so we don't also overuse some in the rotation & being able to have someone *Varland) who can also come in when a SP has an off day.
  16. Doctor Gast
    I'm with you bro as far as adopting ABS. But umpires are human not necessarily scumbags. AI taking over is scary? 🙂

    TB is a good team with good pitching, that has to play NYY & BAL more often. We won by 1 yesterday, we lost by 1 in extra innings that we could have won last night. Let's win today & go onto OAK!
  18. Doctor Gast
    Both MN & NYY focus on squeezing every HR they can out of every hitter. Rortvedt is another hitter who doesn't benefit from that philosophy.
  19. Doctor Gast
    Always liked Rortvedt, now getting away from MN & NYY he's starting to hit.
  20. Doctor Gast
    Larnach should have scored, Even if the ball didn't go through the INF nobody was covering 3B but the ball did go through the INF.
  21. Doctor Gast
    Castro can play middle field well which means he can anywhere in the OF & INF well. He isn't just a utility player, he's a super utility player, LAD knew the importance of having super utility player Chris Taylor for years & he proved to be very valuable. One shouldn't take a super utility player for granted but many do. A super utility player adds depth everywhere & IMO Castro will grow into even more of an impact player. I'd like to keep Castro around for a while. Lee is set at 2B, LF is still up in the air, RF will be up in the air after Kepler leaves, Martin is our other super utility player & Julien, Miranda & Kiriloff will fight it out at 1B. Hope is Wallner will find his way & then there is Larnach & when will Emma be ready? It wouldn't be a bad idea to extend switch-hitting Castro as insurance & keep our options open, He wouldn't be expensive & his trade value would be appealing if he gets pushed out.

    IMO the ABS system doesn't need to be 3D. A 2D screen that's located at the center of the plate. That location could be adjusted depending if the batter likes to stand in the front part of the box or in the back. To me it seems pretty direct. Are you saying there have been some computer problems? Yeah, if there is any errors in the system they should be able to overturn them. I guess I had some difficulty understanding exactly what you meant at the end.

    #1) the umps don't like to be challenged, inadvertently they tend to get even (human nature.) I heard from someone that when a team challenges an ump & they reach their limit of challenges they tend to go the other way on close calls. I'm not insinuating any serious like that there is any hate of team or player or any on the take or even any malcontent. Only something that is inadvertently done.
  24. Doctor Gast
    Playing only against RHPs means playing at least 75% of the time. 600 OPS isn't bad, what is his OBP against LHPs? that's more important. What is Farmer, Margot, Santana's OPS & OBP against RHPs? With Lee's recent performance, he's begging to be called up. Who's place will he take if not Farmer?
  25. Doctor Gast
    When you know your players, you know when it's a mechanical or approach problem for some & when it's health problem. Kiriloff is a pure hitter when he's going into a slump, he's ailing somewhere. IMO you don't need Kiriloff tell you he's hurting (because for some reason or another he won't tell you), you can tell by his decline in production. After a week of decline, Twins should have stepped in & said "we are shutting you down where are you ailing?" Back pain is something you can't fool around with. Polanco had back pain in '22 took some time off & he was good as new. Twins should have stepped right in taken action & stopped that prolonged pain & poor production into something quick & more productive.
