  1. Margot leading-off really grinds me the wrong way. That's not the way we want to start the game or batter we want the most AB. Especially when we're playing a team ahead of us.
  2. Keirsey is well overdue for a call-up. We know his glove will make it & I think his bat will too. Love Martin to bring that OB machine up to MLB & be that lead-off hitter we need. Emma is ready for AAA but I give him more time there to refine his approach before bringing him up.
  3. I can see all but Raya & definitely not Severino make the team this year. None will make much of an impact except Lee. IMO Emma will have some problems with MLB pitching because he'll be well scouted. Even though Keirsey isn't on the 40-man he'd make more of an impact than Emma in '24. Festa will get his feet wet & that's all unless there is a big problem with injuries. If injuries become a bigger problem then Raya could become an opener but I don't see that happening.
  4. #1 Twins can't afford it. #2 He's not worth it, sorry #3 if Twins offer it, he'll accept (he'd be crazy not to) because he likes the Twins & it's more than what gets on FA- So that blows the compensation draft pick. Not going to happen.
  5. I've always seen the potential of this lineup especially with Lewis leading it. That's why I was against going out & acquiring new players, we had the players to light things up inhouse. The new acquisitions took up our young player's playing time & roster spot. In the beginning of the offseason, I had faith in Miranda, Kiriloff & Julien to take care of 1B/ DH the positions where they'd really thrive at, 1B with Santana we are 28th, with our trio we can be much higher. Due to pitcher's adjustment on Julien's swing style & the Julien's added focus of being overstretched at 2B contributed to Julien's high regression. A reset at AAA is in order for Julien so he can adjust his swing & have him focused on 1B where his long term future is at. Margot is our black hole that trade should not have happened. Our young OFs need that playing time & Keirsey needs his roster spot. We have to see what Keirsey can do at the MLB level & Emma needs to get promoted to AAA to get him one step closer to the show. Lewis can carry this team even with the old hitting philosophy but now with a better hitting philosophy, we are a better team. So in a way, his injury has been a blessing in disguise, in that we could see the great hole in that old hitting philosophy sooner & change it. Resetting for Wallner & Julien might take a while but at least they're on the right track. Lewis will be great when he returns, Correa, Miranda, Castro, Jeffers & Kepler have been steadily good, Buxton has been streaky but can be very explosive, Larnach, Kiriloff & Martin have shown signs of being very good but appears something is holding them back at times. Vazquez & Farmer have been terrible but we still need their defense off the bench.
  6. Baseball is a weird game, We have a difficult time against CLE but teams like CWS & CO do not.
  7. For the most part it was an excellent game, I like our lineup, and I'm glad they got some runs. We could get to Marsh and hope our competitors don't have the same luck
  8. Duran got the save out of that
  9. WOW! Duran is making a sure thing into something tense.
  10. No Margot & Santana, I like vibes. There have been no substitutions
  11. Witt jr was a non factor today
  12. I think Julien's ears must have been itching with rumors of sending him down.
  13. He's been very good, one of the best but maybe not HoF
  14. Ryan hasn't given up any HRs this game. That's good!
  15. I have a problem with young kids on their phones texting on their phones while they are in the room with you. Why not interact with people around you?
  16. You know this is better than going to a game. At a game, you see people always on their phones not in the game. Here we are totally connected in the game
