    With yesterday's game, Royce Lewis has surpassed Jair Camargo for 16th most plate appearances on the Twins in 2024. Next hurdle to pass: Matt Wallner.

    C'mon, Theo. A walk hasn't been an at-bat since before Chief was a kid. Royce was still batting 1.000 after that dinger on Tuesday. Toby knows his stuff, don't contradict him. 😀

    You can kiss goodbye any first-inning grand slams, in that case. 😀

    Many people make this mistake. He's actually a ringer by the name of Enrico Pallazzo

    Is Royce running OK? On his final at bat he seemed to be going at less than full speed, but I don't know if that was because of the potential for a collision on the play.

    You left out some pertinent adjectival phrases.

    Welp, there goes the no-hitter.

    I took a look and can't identify more than a couple. I assume that Keirsey joins your list of half dozen, if he is added to the 40 and comes up and then doesn't hit right away?
  10. ashbury
    It had been a few days since I checked in on Keirsey, and I find that he has not played in a game since May 26. Did I miss something about him being injured?

    Short Ober? The man's listed at six foot nine.

    Vazquez one of two Twins batters to hit safely. As expected.

    And with that final out by Kepler, Royce's HR means his OPS actually went up, to 4.000. What goes up, must come.... possibly further up.

    Fun With Numbers, early season edition*: with 2 walks so far today, Royce Lewis maintains his 3.500 OPS exactly. * Early for Royce anyway

    Jeffers has had an ouch in his batting average since May 15. Might be small sample size, might be bad-BABIP-luck, and I don't know what level of faith Rocco places on recent performance. I also won't claim to know what "messages" Rocco sends via his lineups, but one possibility is that the skipper is telling him, "you want starter's minutes, you need to keep earning them when you have the chance. Be ready when called on today, and see you tomorrow."

    Fifth. So, one out, bases loaded, in the first inning? That's the plan? Sounds good to me. Hope it works.

    So far this season Twins starters rank 14th in number of innings pitched, placing the staff squarely in the mainstream of the 30 teams. This, despite sporting a collective ERA that ranks 22nd in ERA. This suggests Rocco's actually shown patience with his starters. They rank 21st in innings pitched by relievers*. If the Twins bullpen is stretched, then so is virtually every other major league team's, and regulating that strain is part of every manager's job. *A spot check of the teams with the very fewest relief innings correlates with having very good starter ERAs, and that tends to fluctuate over the long season so I would expect all these numbers to shift a bit by year end.

    Find a GIF of an orangutan hiring a more highly-skilled chimp* to do the work, and you'll have me. * I did my homework and asked ChatGPT 3.5, the AI being more highly-skilled than I at comprehensive fact-checking

    Many of us who participate in game threads from time to time are surprised it could be even this many.

    Roster management is not always straightforward. The FO must weigh what's best for the team right now, what's best for the team in the long run, and what's best for the player himself. Fortunately in this case, sending Eddie to AAA, to try and straighten out whatever's wrong with his approach at the plate, checks all of the boxes. As a bat-first player, he needs to hit, period. He's doing no one including himself any good with what he's done so far this season.
  21. ashbury
    Welp.
  22. ashbury
    Welp, we've got our 3 hits for the day already. SWR better make this huge lead stand up.

    60-day IL last year, May to September, with "forearm tightness". Mild UCL sprain. Mild, I tell you. Nope, no red flags there. None at all. 😀

    In the motel at 11, and up at 5 for our flight, didn't leave a lot of time for low-and-slow roasting of brisket. Another time.
