    Great game by Buck obviously. Kiriloff getting a sac fly against a lefty was huge. Correas tag on Witt was amazing. Not a good throw from Vázquez but Carlos saved it. Let’s blow them out tomorrow because Jax and Stewart won’t be available.

    Almost has to be Martin. Farmer takes third and Martin platoons with Julien. I want nothing to do with Julien against lefties.

    Mandatory yoga for all Twins!

    yep. Justin seems like a really good dude and knows a lot about the game but he just can’t get to the point. Make your point and let the broadcast breathe.

    It was 68 sunny and little wind yesterday in KC.

    Just saw the highlight. Pulled quad for sure. This sucks.

    I’m not posting this to be snarky but get used to Julien et al sitting against lefties. The Twins clearly believe the metrics which suggest almost all left handed hitters suck against lefties. I’m fine with it especially when the right handed counterpart is a better fielder.

    My recollection is the Twins were willing to trade Graterol because they determined he was bound for the bullpen. One reason why some fans got upset was that Graterol was our first true flamethrower. Interesting guy - throws 100 but doesn’t strike out that many.

    I like the team. I would like it a lot better with another upper rotation starter or even a Clevinger. I’m predicting 87 wins a division flag and 3 seed in the playoffs. We will be different than last year in that the lineup will carry more of the load - I am predicting a couple of injuries to starters that exposes our lack of depth and holds the win total down.

    He is not a good pitcher. I get the multiple innings thing but they don’t really do that. He sat in the bullpen for long stretches last year.

    According to AG Funderburk Alcalá and Sands have been told they are making the team. I want to know what kind of pictures Cole Sands has that he has made this club
  12. Linus
    Absolutely starting pitching. With even a normal year of injuries we are going to see lots of innings going to unproven pitchers.

    We definitely need to add starter depth. If this season is going to disappoint it will most likely be due to starting pitching depth. Our current rotation looks fantastic. After that look out.

    I think the looming tv problem is going to be chaos for MLB. There are lots of players and agents that seem to think it is business as usual and I think the free agency market is going to to diminish substantially until this stuff gets figured out.

    How come our pitchers give up runs because they are working on something but the other teams pitchers get our guys out when they are working on something?

    I noticed Julio Tehran is going to opt out. I would snap him up too if he will take a minor league deal.

    Regarding left handed hitters not hitting lefties I would refer you to the piece Gleeman wrote for the Athletic. To summarize very few lefties in all of baseball hit left handed pitching. Essentially Rod Carew is the only left handed batter in Twins history that could hit lefties at all and he still had a noticeable drop in OPS. So for me I’m not going to worry about the young lefties ability to hit left handed pitching. They won’t. And it doesn’t make them just a platoon player as they will end up playing 75-80% of the time.

    I like Louie. He works fast and throws strikes - baseball needs more pitchers like that. The game moves along and there is something happening. Whether Louie is a big league quality starter is still an open question however. Wishing him the best but he still has to prove he belongs in the rotation.

    I hope they follow through with the idea that most of the pen will be expected to go two innings sometimes.
  20. Linus
    A couple of random thoughts. I have no complaints about not pursuing high dollar free agent pitchers. I think this philosophy is wise over the short and long term. I find it very ironic that they traded Berrios and he has been one of the healthiest starters in all of baseball.
  21. Linus
    The most plausible explanation is that none of the three are good enough to be big leaguers. It happens all the time hence the reference of AAAA player. Balazovic was waived and EVERY mlb team passed on him for free. What does that say? Larnach has shown little ability to hit mlb off speed. He is 27 years old and we think he is going to suddenly going to gain that skill? Miranda is more of a wild card but he has no glove so he is going to have to hit a crap ton to be a big leaguer. I sincerely hope I am wrong on all three but history suggests I’m not.

    Needed to add a starter was pretty much agreed upon by anybody seriously following the team. But hey you are entitled to your opinion so that’s fine by me.
  23. Linus
    In an off season when they needed to add a starter he was the only starter obtained and he is likely to miss significant time or the whole season. If fiasco isn’t a word you like substitute fail.
  24. Linus
    Duran is by far the most concerning. Tough to lose one of the best relievers for the first month and those injuries have a way of lingering. I was willing to keep an open mind on Disco but that whole deal is looking like a fiasco
  25. Linus
    If Camargo becomes a good starting catcher then the Twins win the deal for sure. Otherwise no. Kenta gave us a good year and a half and LA is going to get a minimum of 6 years of a good, potentially great reliever.
