  1. All good points. His 579OPS is not going to keep him around. He did have a nice game last night. We should probably keep him around for now.
  2. I do agree that Buck is having an AllStar season. Take notice tho, France is leading the twins in hits and RBI’s and has played 10 more games than Buck while striking out 26 less times. (56-30) France might be a regression candidate but if he plays the final 2/3 of the season as well as the start, he will have some crazy good season stats.
  3. Amazing how maturity has made France’s game so much better. If there is an AllStar on the Twins so far, it’s him. Calm and cool and devastating to a pitcher’s plan. I have always been a fan of small ball where guys can string together 5/6 hits in an inning and chase the starter or ambush a RP. It’s a mental game as much as physical.
  4. They will continue to beat up on each other. Hope for 12 inning games in tiger town.
  5. The kid has great stuff. Give him some time because he will have a very nice MLB career.
  6. Speaking of Puckett, he did not hit a grand slam until the 1267th game of his career in 1992. I was at that game and 2 others that summer that he homered in after moving to MPLS in March. Almost caught 2 of them. It was a crazy summer!!
  7. The kittys are good but we are coming for them. We’re coming! Beware!!
  8. We need to start hitting the good pitches and work the count deep. Several 10 pitch AB’s would be nice in the 5th.
  9. We do need to hit on some young cheap guys that can overplay their draft pedigree. We will have dwindling salary cap in ‘26/27.
  10. Yeah, he was injured on the 25th just as the team was starting to win games regularly. Im still giving him credit for turning the clubhouse mentality around by playing like he did for just 7 games.
  11. If there is a missing piece, Kwesi will find it. compared to many seasons, it really feels like we are stacked full of a great talent mix of young studs and prime time vets. I honestly haven’t been this excited since Moss was a rookie. If McCarthy comes out and does nothing but win, win, win, We will be in for one hell of a great few years. Maybe beyond any expectations!
  12. The guy we need back the most is the guy that started this whole winning thingy. Luke Keaschall. Can’t wait to see him in the lineup next month!!
  13. @DocBauer I think they have absolutely nailed free agency. They structured the contracts well and got a mix of high end vets and possible upside high ceiling guys on the cheap/affordable if they stay healthy. The secondary is always a concern but we have enough on paper until we don’t. The next two offseasons will likey continue to focus on defense with Safety and CB the highest priority. If we make a deep playoff run, there will be a list of FA and college draftees that will be begging to play here and we will need to get younger quickly in several positions.
  14. @bean5302 I get down on lots of guys that get a long leash and don’t up their game to even be moderately successful. Margoh and Gallo along with the former whitesox pitcher Colume? And Pagan. Sands was also a head scratcher a few years ago. Some guys are just better playing for someone else.
  15. Hopefully his season turns around fast. We don’t need a low leverage guy with an era 7.0+
  16. Does Alcala have an option left? He needs to go across the river.
  17. McCrusher and Sabato are about the same age but their pro ball journey are night and day different.
  18. Doesn’t the 1 run scored in the 9th inning change the 252?
  19. Did Baldelli get an update on the baseball analytics mgmt app recently? He is pulling all the right strings.
  20. Yup. He just hit his way to something other than Margoh…000. He actually is proving to be a valuable MLB’r
  21. 3 straight shutouts in a 13 game winning streak has to be some kind of record!
  22. Kiersey should be a pinch runner. He is getting suspiciously close to Margoh territory.
