    Julien steals bases with the same smooth way he fields balls.
  2. RpR
    Yep, Julien for Farmer, wise choice.
  3. RpR
    I will give you that.

    He did not dig a hole.

    LOL - Oh there is a fair number of people here who wish Vazquez and Margot had failed again.

    If that works for you then use it. Walk rate is just as much determined by pitcher's ability as batters ability to decide if it is a strike or not a strike, especially as intentional walks are the same as 4 bad pitches, so they really have zero to do with a batters ability.

    This game has a good line-up, the only thing missing is Max Kepler!

    That is similar to what she had; mine goes down eight inches so I truly roto-till the garden. If it works for you then that is all you need, happy gardening.

    Strike out rate is determined by at bats, not plate appearences, just like batting average.
  12. RpR
    It does not work your way. How is the strikeout rate calculated for hitters? https://calculator.academy/strikeout-percentage-calculator/ First, determine the total number of strikeouts. Next, determine the total number of at-bats. Next, gather the formula from above = STRP = SO / AB * 100. Finally, calculate the Strikeout Percentage. Strike out percentage comes from at bats, not plate appearences as much as you wish it did.

    NO player EVER, has been or will be slump proof. What matters is if it is a slump or exposes the truth.

    Wallner had 80 Ks in 213 at bats, that equals 37.5586854%

    If Julien goes to AAA, then Farmer will take Second Base . He is a better Second Baseman than Castro and Castro is generally needed else where. I would like to see Keirsey Jr. come up to see how he handles the Bigs, send Kirilloff down for a re-set, and bring him back after having a look-see at Keirsey Jr.

    Twins need a First Baseman with a good glove so Santana is going nowhere. I am hoping Farmer breaks out of his misfortune, but Margot's surgery pretty much finished off his career. Twins have zero known quantity back-ups , so the platoon fest will continue. At that, Larnach, weak arm and all , may be around a long time but I am amazed at the long leash they have given Julien.
  18. RpR
    Julien or Kirilloff.

    Jeffers is not a good catcher, probably not run at will any more , but still not good.

    How little? Forgive me - LOL - my neighbor in my home town was breaking ground for a new garden with one of those little roto-tiller designed really for cultivating and not much more and spent as much time scratching at the ground as it took me to do one half of a garden eight times larger than her patch. Now I considered offering to do it for her, but last winter, for he first time ever, turned my 70 year old garden was hard, very hard, even where I had dug potatoes in he fall. It took me twice the time to till it from the norm, all most three hours, SO, I just figured the wear and tear on my machine, plus gasoline, was not worth being a good neighbor -- maybe next year. I took the trip down to Hugo, and was amazed at the huge number of Chile and Tomato plans they had for sale. For what is left of blood family and friends, I could supply a summer worth of Chiles and Tomatos with four of each but as they had a huge variety I bought a dozen of each -- (any one want some tomatoes or chiles this summer/ fall?) They look good , at this point, very good . Oddly corn I planted three weeks ago, new seed from major companies not one single plant came up so now I have to totally replant; I am a bit worried as several years back, I bough new seed from a well known seller and had a similar result even after replanting.🤬

    Yep, Lee can come up and do his version of the so much wanted Martin. The whole Margot thing is wierd, they do not play him for what he was brought in but put Castro out there where he is no better than Gordon was. I checked at Baseball Ref. and I see Center Field is not his best spot, so now it makes sense but why they picked him to quasi-replace Taylor makes zero sense.

    I hate watching Wallner in the outfieled looking like a Buster Keaton movie. Wallner is has never been and will NEVER be as good as Kepler, in any form -- your statement implies Wallner infatuaion and a dismal opinion of Kepler. Wallner had a 37.5 percent strike out rate before the Post Season where it hit the level he is at today. As I wrote in a different thread, they sent Sano down to A ball, if they can do that with Wallner they probably should.
  23. RpR
    Especially in the post season which level he is still at today.
  24. RpR
    His defense is no better than it was, he does not many errors because to avoid them his flielding speed is sloooow, and ackward. When Farmer plays second a double play is smooth as silk, with Julien it is like scratching nails on a black-board.
  25. RpR
    The Twins once sent Sano back to A ball; could they do that to Wallner?
