    HOU is still a smart team, it was good experience for SWR, Like you said Hans, SWR was composed, that means a lot for a young SP. Miranda,Larnach & Kirlioff had nights in the absence of Correa

    Did the Twins sought Castro? Or wasn't it Castro seeking the Twins out? I was very impressed with Castro's 1st spring training. But several walk ons excelled over their in-house competition yet were sent down dejected never playing in a Twins' game. Crazy to say that it was fortuntely that there were several injuries that allowed Castro comeup with team. He got to play in enough games to increase his confidence & he took off. Because of the injuries to Lewis, Correa & Buxton, he started wane. He's very valuable to us & should be extended
  3. Doctor Gast
    HOU would be a good test

    Margot & Farmer amongst others started out poorly. Because of injuries, they were forced to play regularly against RHPs which contributed to their further downfall that had to really messes up a guy's head. They are strictly used against LHPs & they want them to get as many ABs to try to get them out their funk. Because it's ridiculous how far Farmer is off his game hitting. I was against obtaining Margot & Santana & I'd DFA Margot, Santana & Farmer but that is a different subject.

    Ober wasn't doing that great down in AAA before he was called up permanently. But when he was called up again he raked. I believe if Varland is called up again & is settled in the BP again, he rake. Independent of what he's doing in AAA.

    Twins' main reason to trade him was his salary. They wanted to free up his salary to sign a big-name SS. & I agree with your reason why we signed him.
  7. Doctor Gast
    Agreed, because of that I'd rate my #1 as Donaldson- his production wasn't bad but his salary killed us & devasted our catching corp to appropiate. #2 Park- he never adjusted #3 Shoemaker #4 Happ #5 Gallo #6 Lynn- he was a good signing but being disgruntled made it bad All other signings were good signings but poorly managed. Colume if used in lower leverage 1st instead of being showcased extensively as our closer, he'd have been fine. Bundy was signed as a piggy-back pitcher, in limited innings he was very good but they later decided that all SPs needed to go 7. Being overextended his pitching went down hill. Simmons was a great signing. W/o spring training, he provided great defense & before he went down because of covid he was having a career hitting season. But during his IL stint, they "properly" trained him & after his return he was absolutely terrible. The Vazquez signing was very good. Besides providing great defense, it took the burden off Jeffers's shoulders so he could lift himself up from the ashes to be a 1st class hitting catcher.

    Since Paddack pitched 8 innings, I have been advocating to bring Varland up in long relief. The whole rotation & short relief have been taking up the slack in the offense, They have been worn thin & need a breather. I wanted a BP game, Varland start & pitch as long as he can & later have Sands pitch at least a couple. That'll push back each SP a start. & Varland can stay up in that capacity. We still can do that or maybe bring up Festa (to get his feet wet & send him down) & keep Varland still in long relief. I think that'd be a good idea.
  9. Doctor Gast
    Yeah, Soto has given them quite the shot in the arm.

    It's not easy to express yourself in a 2nd language. I give Jorge Lopez & Duran credit for trying & we should be understanding when they don't come across exactly in the way they intended by mispronouncing or wrong sentence structure, Lopez is an emotional player that can work for him but most of the time against him. He was frustrated against the umpire & himself not the team so what he said got misconstrued & out of context, In his need to vent he make the mistake of speaking w/o an interpreter.

    It's very usual to have more than one prospect involved in a big trade, so Gonzales could be used in a big trade. Depending the target I'd not trade anyone #1-3, #4 or greater is open season depending our need. Gonzales is overrated & not needed in our future. So he'd be my primary trade bait.
  12. Doctor Gast
    HOU is up 4-0 in the 9th.
  13. Doctor Gast
    Paddack battled to get through 5. Alcala & Jax were great in the pen (happy they kept Alcala at 1 inning). Love the clutch triple by Correa with 2 outs and Kepler had a clutch hit. Jeffers's 2 HRs were both needed. Happy we pull this game out.
  14. Doctor Gast
    We pulled out another one, great game!
  15. Doctor Gast
    He always Hamms it up.
  16. Doctor Gast
    3 up, 3 down w/ 2ks. Superb outing by Alcala
  17. Doctor Gast
    Alcala is hitting over 100mph
  18. Doctor Gast
    Ok Alcala have a great game. Right now Thielbar is credited with the win
  19. Doctor Gast
    Great clutch hit, that's what the doctor ordered
  20. Doctor Gast
    I was surprised early in the box score why Keaschal was at DH. You don't need much of an arm to play 2B. Like Spencer & CES, Keaschal will be sought after at the deadline and could be good trade bait. But I'd trade Gonzales before him. We haven't had very good luck at the dead line. Hopefully the next time they find a healthy pitcher body & emotions.
  21. Doctor Gast
    The twins batters start out in hole.
  22. Doctor Gast
    Let's start a rally, we need one
  23. Doctor Gast
    That's better
  24. Doctor Gast
    Paddack may need some help early
  25. Doctor Gast
    Paddack can't get ahead of these guys
