    There's only about ten guys in the league that dont get pinch run for in that situation when you have Taylor available. One of them was at bat. Also, taser from buck. 115.1 mph.
  2. Jocko87
    He's slow anyway?

    Lewis isn’t a luxury. He’s a #1 overall pick that has shown he can play well in the bigs. Just like Kirilloff if he’s healthy he’s playing with the big club. For a roster standpoint they want and need Farmer back in the utility role, Correa and Polanco need a DH or off day at least once in a while. It would not surprise me if Solano was the move for Lewis. Miranda can fill his role as a better version with options if the need becomes critical.

    For now.
  5. Jocko87
    Likewise 🤷‍♂️

    Interesting that Wichita was coming home and St Paul is heading out on the road schedule wise. That would indicate to me we are looking at level of competition rather than level of health. This may happen sooner than we think.
  7. Jocko87
    Or Garlick if they had a couple lefties coming around.

    Sometimes its hard to see the wins where the FO passed on someone. Combine this with the Willson Contreras thing this week and they are looking OK. Oh, and Gallo.

    They are pivoting a bit as an organization. The Twins fanbase is well conditioned to draft, develop and fill from within but I think they are slowing turning into an asset buy and trade team. I would not be surprised to see them take 4-5 more college "shortstops" and college pitchers in the top 10 this year. Maybe one or two will stick with us but more likely they will turn into a relief pitcher here or established corner bat there. Then draft developmental talent in later rounds and work the international scene hard while they still can. I'm not a big fan of investing in high school talent with high draft capital but I like taking a look at someone elses high school draft pick after they have a few years in the lower levels. We are going to have some sellers remorse at times but if we can avoid giving away a Joe Ryan deal the big roster is going to get holes filled. Seeing our prospects be successful elsewhere is going to be a good thing, both in that it highlights their ability to find and develop talent but as credible trade partners going forward. The days of cheering for and following a prospect for 5-6 years are likely gone.

    Just like a golf ball, a properly struck baseball does not care about the wind. 🤣

    I kinda wanted to see Gallo tee off on a position player but that'll do MAT.
  12. Jocko87
    I want to see a good effort against Kershaw. Of all the things last year, that game was memorable.
  13. Jocko87
    It'll be Helman or someone that can play center and infield. I don't see how he makes past the trade deadline. If he could play in the infield and hit he would have a better chance but he can't do either. Ideally Buxton takes one a week in center but that's looking less likely all the time. I'm OK with Taylor mostly full time. Helman and Castro are a nice pair of rotating utility players with options. They need the flexibility.
  14. Jocko87
    Yup, decision coming.
  15. Jocko87
    Gordon. Decision time coming. At least Castro can function in the infield. But probably just Larnach again in truth.
  16. Jocko87
    Mervis also answered my question about 1.000 xBa.
  17. Jocko87
    That is a silly stretch of hard hit baseballs, on both sides.
  18. Jocko87
    He even kinda let up on that one.
  19. Jocko87
    Even .700 now. Smaller samples can correct quickly.
  20. Jocko87
    6 in a row over 96 mph exit velocity. 4 over 100. Also nice to see Gordon taking a few pitches, like I asked.
  21. Jocko87
    Can we use them Monday then?
  22. Jocko87
    Stroman auto corrects to stroganoff. Also Stroman appears to be celebrating Mother’s Day with the mom walker 3000 shoe.
  23. Jocko87
    Me too, I was not aware he had 98.5 in the tank. That's pretty exciting.
  24. Jocko87
    I'm with you on this. At #5 I want as close to a sure thing as we can get. If we are bringing the risk of a high school kid into the picture I'd rather have the risk of Dollander. Two months ago he was the next Strasbourg but now Skenes is making him anonymous. Upside of a true ace vs another LH outfielder 4 years away. I think my position player preference at #5 is Langford, hopefully he falls, RH outfielder that can be up in 18 months fits what we are doing and the window is now. If they like either pitcher I'm comfortable with the risk and would prefer to swing at it. A high school outfielder better be special special to return value at this pick. I just don't see it. I'd take a Jack Wilson over them.

    Numbers finally in for Gallo's moon shot yesterday. 422 seems short but at 145 ft high it must have made a crater when it landed. I just want to know what it takes to get a 1.000 xBa if that was .850.
