    I think it proves what’s been true for 150 years: starting pitching is the most important factor in winning games. I have no idea what Falvey would have done but Zoll seems a bit more aggressive and decisive in his roster moves. I also like the way Shelton has managed the bullpen. The lineup is not great but they are playing better defense and they don’t rely on one or two guys to get the job done. Larnach and Martin stepping up gives them a legit outfield-maybe somehow the infield can do the same. I still think my 75 win projection is going to be accurate but I find myself watching every night - it’s been enjoyable.

    Gomez looks like he throws harder than he does.

    Buck had so much of a better jump on that compared to Keaschall. Almost ran him down

    Home plate ump has missed a bunch tonight.
  5. Linus
    Outman has no chance against a competent pitcher.
  6. Linus
    Not sure I’ve seen that before and I’ve been watching baseball for 60 years.

    Can I just say that I may not be able to make it through the season listening to these Carshield commercials.

    If Royce hits in the show they will find a spot for him. I think the stink about changing positions is overblown. Royce wears his heart on his sleeve and that comes back to bite him sometimes. I’m more concerned about his comments that deflect responsibility for his poor performance. Anyway I hope he figures things out - the Twins need bats.
  9. Linus
    Especially if Taj roughly maintains his current level of performance.

    This all depends on lots of different factors. If the Twins are legitimately in the playoff hunt I wouldn’t be opposed to keeping everyone. Playoff chances aren’t to be taken lightly. But, if they end up trending towards 75 wins the for sale sign goes out. Doesn’t mean I’m moving all of them but if there is good value I wouldn’t trade Ryan and Jeffers for sure. If the offer isn’t good, there is value in keeping Ryan too or trading him later. I guess my point is the correct decision could be any of the above depending on circumstances.
  11. Linus
    Yes. I meant to type Jeffers. My mistake.
  12. Linus
    My bad. I meant to type Jeffers is a free agent at the end of this year. After I re - read your post I see you were referring to Ryan. Ignore me.
  13. Linus
    Ryan is a free agent at the end of this season.
  14. Linus
    I would rather see Royce hitting doubles to right / center. We know he can yank a cookie to left.
  15. Linus
    This is correct.
  16. Linus
    Yea get back to me in a couple months.

    Twins defense and bad Bosox running wins the game. Hat tip to Martin with his good catch in a critical situation and Larnach / Kriedler / Caratini for getting the critical out at the plate.

    He should be called up when his development indicates he is ready. When he comes up he absolutely has to play SS. If he can’t cut it at SS the Twins have a big problem. I hope Houston hits enough to be in the bigs but that is a very big if. For these reasons KC is the most important prospect the Twins have.
  19. Linus
    Unfortunately (in my opinion) he is another Falvey special. A bat only guy who, if he hits well enough, should be a DH. I always hope for the best for the Twins but this is not a guy I would be counting on.
  20. Linus
    The real question with Lee is not what position he will play. The real question is will he ever be a good enough hitter to be a mlb caliber starter. He has to hit better or he will become a utility guy.
  21. Linus
    I was never a Falvey fan and I’m glad he is gone. However, he may end up being the hero with his moves at last years trade deadline. Taj is electric and if he refines his command a little can be an elite starter. Same with Abel and even Rojas. They need one more bat to emerge and this could get interesting.
  22. Linus
    Certainly facts should not be the important factor in our theory 😀
  23. Linus
    Buck now has 10 and 5 rights so he can veto any trade (I believe don’t know if there is fine print with that rule).
  24. Linus
    I agree with this. Maybe a simpler way to assess an offense is what percentage of the time do they score 3 or less runs (pick whatever number you feel assured a loss). Essentially how many times do we lose games because the offense doesn’t show up. I think this is where the Twins are suspect. Of course I’m not going to do the research so I will just assume I am correct😀
  25. Linus
    Agree that it is too early. I think it’s a small chance they grab a wildcard but let’s at least give it our best until the deadline. I think people need to be real about expected returns. Buck, Ryan, and Jeffers are the trade chips that will return something (I’m not including our young starters). The rest of those guys are either untradeable or will net some A ball lottery ticket.
