    Last year if you double Wallner's . he had 15 PA more than Kepler had; Kepler had 106 Ks, so if you Double the number Wallner had it would be 160 Ks. Wallner is heading full blast to Gallo Territory, without the fielding skills; 2nd best, bollocks , his ST is just a continuing of his Post Season numbers.

    The post is about what pitchers go through and I copied a small part. It speaks for itself .

    '93 Blue Jays, '95 Braves, '08 Phillies, '11 Cardinals, '16 Cubs. 5 times in 31 years, which is 16.129 percentage of World Series winners. Gee, why didn't the Twins win the World Series when they were lousy in Spring Training, the odds are so high. Twins ST 1984 = 14-10, 1991 = 21- 10 , hmmm, maybe the secret is to lose only 10 games in Spring Training.
  4. RpR
    And keep on losing.

    Jeffers get his 4th home run of Spring Training.

    For what it is worth: The 1997 Marlins had their best ever Spring Training record 26-5, best ever regular season record 92-70 , and won the World Series.

    For other teams to make the Minnesota Twins look inept?

    Morneau was not a pitcher.☺️

    last of 43 Spring Training No-Hit games was last March, first since 2017 -- I wonder if the Twins could add one in 2024. 😏 https://www.nonohitters.com/spring-training-no-hitters/

    So far , Varland by 2nd inning -- 6 hits, 2 walks, 5 runs.

    Who ever wrote that up live in a fantasy world.

    IF, one cannot hit pitchers, in Spring Training , of which a lot are AAA, which Wallner is not capable of doing by what miracle will he be able to hit Major League pitchers who are at least 50 percent more serious in how they pitch regular season. Gallo ST 2024 Wallner ST 2024

    The first two weeks of the regular season should be very interesting and very revealing.
  14. RpR
    If -- Wallner comes up it is probably because they have no one else to play Left Field that is much better although it is hard to be worse.
  15. RpR
    Apparently? Says what or whom? Tell ByoungHo Park or Castro that Spring Training means nothing.

    https://baseballdudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Baseball-Dudes-Off-Season-Throwing-Program.pdf "To be one of the best at this game takes a lot of hard work and dedication. Every professional pitcher heads into their off season with a plan. Their plan will include a strength and conditioning program and more importantly, a throwing program. A professional pitcher headed into an off season without a plan is a pitcher who will not be 100% prepared when he heads to spring training. By not being fully prepared, they are setting themselves up for failure. The competition at that level is like nothing you will see at the youth level. Every pitcher you see there was the best on their team, best in their state and maybe one of the best in the country. "

    It will be.

    For those who keep spewing -- Lewis to the out field -- the Twins should have kept Urshela, his Spring Training number splits are fantastic and he was very good with the Twins.
  19. RpR
    Probably another -- Well, he could have been....

    https://www.mlb.com/news/blake-snell-impact-on-giants-2024 Having finished five games shy of a postseason spot in 2023 and six games out in 2022, the Giants were much too familiar with what it’s like to be good enough to not be good enough. But now, with Snell strengthening the rotation and seemingly completing a recent flurry of activity by the Farhan Zaidi-led front office, the projections tell us the Giants might finally be good enough.

    https://www.mlb.com/news/anthony-desclafani-jhoan-duran-caleb-thielbar-to-open-2024-on-il “As Falvey put it: “There’s no sugar-coating feeling good about when Jhoan Duran goes down.” But even with Duran and Thielbar sidelined, the Twins have a strong relief crop to work with, thanks to a number of offseason acquisitions, including Justin Topa (via trade) and Jay Jackson (free agency).”
  22. RpR
    Yes. Last year was last year and his K rate was already trying to imitate Gallo last year.
  23. RpR
    Castro to AAA, has Hell frozen over?
  24. RpR
    Do you mean get ones strike out percentage below 50 percent? Should not have to develope that after having played in the Major last year.

    https://www.mlb.com/news/minor-league-statcast-data-compared-to-mlb “To be clear, what we have here is not a full and complete data set, at least in the same way it is for the Majors. For Triple-A, it includes all of 2023, as well as Pacific Coast League games and Charlotte home games in 2022. For Single-A, it dates back to 2021, but only for the eight Statcast-enabled Florida State League parks. There’s not any Double-A at all included at this time. Still, that’s nearly two million pitches, regular and postseason, and that’s more than enough to draw some broad conclusions. So: What have we learned? Let’s share some big takeaways. (Unless otherwise noted, all comparisons here will be across 2021-23, regular and postseason combined.)”
