  1. Who ever wrote that up live in a fantasy world.
  2. 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
  3. 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.
  4. Apparently? Says what or whom? Tell ByoungHo Park or Castro that Spring Training means nothing.
  5. 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. "
  6. 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.
  7. Probably another -- Well, he could have been....
  8. 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.
  9. 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).”
  10. Yes. Last year was last year and his K rate was already trying to imitate Gallo last year.
  11. Castro to AAA, has Hell frozen over?
  12. 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.
  13. 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.)”
  14. Twins base running needs a little fine tuning, Gonzalez picked off and failed to steal second. Margot is not whiffing as much as Wallner but those two boys need to change some thing.
  15. He is generating a LOT of Strike Outs and nothing else. At that, Kepler and Margot are not a heck of a lot better at this point.
  16. Hmmm, Garry's BA and OPS last year in 11 games was 000. Doing well against Spring Training pitching may, or may not, mean much depending on the pitcher one is facing; doing lousy against Spring Training pitching means a lot, if you can not hit against any one here you probably will be a failure in the Big Show. A high K rate here will probably follow the batter to the regular season. If it meant nothing , there would not be visits to the mound by coaches or batters taking a time out, as why would they if it was meaningless?
  17. As spring training means nothing, 💩 , Wallner's strike out percentage is now 51.7241379% but we all know when regular season starts he will maintain at the Mendoza line.
  18. Julien is not even average yet.
  19. When the Major League coaches think you will not be eaten alive by Major League pitching. Twins had gent last year who dominated in AAA, and was in a world of hurt in the Bigs.
  20. Against a AAA picher and one whose ERA last year was over 7, he is ready to do very well in AAA but that is all that is for sure.
  21. Julien is not set any where and right now Wallner seems to be trying to get sent down to St. Paul.
