    Have patience. Jax was brilliant last year. Who's to say this this will be his last bad game until August? We've seen relievers be terrible for a couple months and then become unhittable for the rest of the year. This could happen to Jax, Accala or even Pagan? Remember last year , Lopez was excellent with Baltimore and mediocre with us. This year he has been fantastic. Be patiennt folks and let the year play out. :)

    Time will tell. I would like to hear Cuddyer also.

    Kepler may look a bit like Morneaux, but Kiriloff can hit like him. and speaking of batting averages. With this teams low team BA, I can only smile when I think of when they start hitting like they have in the past. Maybe these last to games is a preview of coming attractions. PS. Can't say enough about the Twins marvelous pitching. :)

    I've posted this before, but the Twins could make room for Kiriloff if they wanted to. I think they would rather make sure that his wrist is going to hold up under every day playing conditions. Giving him AK another 3 weeks in St Paul should reassure the Twins that he will be effective. I doubt that more than 3 weeks will pass before one of the above mentioned players will incur some kind of injury. :(

    How to make room for Kiriloff = Sit Gallo 1 day a week. Sit Larnach 1 day a week. Sit Kepler 1 day a week. Sit Taylor 2 days a week. That gives Kiriloff 5 days a week. Let Rocco figure out who plays where, but play Kiriloff at 1b whenever he plays. :)

    I've written off Cavaco & Sabato. If they start playing well, I'll pay attention. Otherwise they are not in my "Hope Chest". :)

    I hate it! I hate it! I hate it!

    I think this is an indication of how highly Falvine rates the Twins pitching staff and the likelihood that Smeltzer would be a contributing member at some point during the season. If Smeltzer is that far down on the list of probable call-ups he is better off trying to catch on with another, weaker team. :)

    I admire Cave's hustle. He hustled every game. However, there is no room for him on the Twins 2023 roster. Too bad. It was nice knowing you jake. (PS. Shave the beard so you don't look so dang old.

    PS. Don't forget Leon. He has been a good defensive catcher, seems to handle the pitching staff well, and has hit poorly (as expected). Good for a backup.

    I love watching Correa play defense. His mistakes are so rare that they stand out. He makes so many good throws that we just take for granted. This can give some fans a distorted idea of Correa's value. Can anybody remember the Twins having a SS of his quality? Smalley? Gagne?: They were good but not near as good as Correa. Enjoy him while he is here. However long that may be.

    I wish the departed players well, but if the pitchers we recieved help us win a playoff game or 9, then the loss is well worth it.
  25. Thegrin
    This is a wonderful day and maybe we can get some catching help???

    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush leagues.
