    Meaning if he doesn’t get an AB in a game, it doesn’t count as a game for streak purposes?
  2. AlwaysinModeration
    It would be great to get him back and give him the chance to close for the Twins that he never got. It seems as though they want him, but he may not want to go back, especially if they aren’t contending.

    Twins with Keaschall this year: .600 winning percentage. Twins without Keaschall this year: .467 winning percentage. Twins with Lopez this year: .550 winning percentage. Twins without Lopez this year: .400 winning percentage.

    Well, to be fair, it could be c and still also a or b. But let’s say that he gets a hit in his next 47 straight games. It would be a shame if he didn’t get to break DiMaggio’s streak because of a game where he got one PA that resulted in a broken arm. Admittedly, there is a chance this won’t wind up being an issue.

    Keaschall has played in 10 games as a Twin. He’s gotten base hits in 9 of the games. In the tenth game (well, seventh), back in April, he got exactly one plate appearance, in which he also got a hit…by pitch. Breaking his arm. Can we get a special ruling on this, as either a)a 10 game hit streak or b)a 9 game hit streak?

    Am I the only one finding this version of the Twins more fun to watch than the June-July version? Correa walking around the dugout with a back brace was sort of a metaphor. This version seems to be playing with some urgency and a chip in their shoulder.

    I don’t know how to analyze the return on these trades; the general consensus it seems like they could have gotten better prospects for at least some of the individual trades. But for me, it all seems haphazard, and could have been executed more strategically. If they knew Wednesday they were going to trade the best five relievers, I think they could have packaged players together to get more than they got. For example, could they have traded Varland and Castro together for a couple of better prospects? Could Duran and Jax together have netted Painter? (But actually, maybe Abel, Tait and Bradley together is actually a good return for Duran and Jax, and better than getting just Painter?) Anyway, doesn’t feel like they had a clear direction with these moves, with clarity on what they were trying to get back, or how to maximize what they got back.

    Off 26: Chris Paddack, RHP Jhoan Duran, RHP Harrison Bader, OF Danny Coulombe, LHP Willi Castro, OF Brock Stewart, RHP Carlos Correa, SS Louis Varland, RHP Ty France, 1B Griffin Jax, RHP Off 40: Randy Dobnak, RHP

    a “prospect”

    Griffin Jax to the Rays.
  11. AlwaysinModeration
    “prospect”
  12. AlwaysinModeration
    Reports that the trade is happening.

    i have not read all 13 pages, so I don’t know if this has been said, but “Mick Abel” is a nice complement to “Billy Amick.” If Billy starts going by Bill or Abel gets a (Rocco) “Abelli” nickname, even better.

    It’s always sunny in Philadelphia.

    It is pretty clear that the Twins are planning to sell off their impending free agents, with most expecting Coulombe, Castro and Bader to be on the move in the next 36 hours. However, the Twins’ brass has a penchant for going after controllable pitchers, so that they can compete now but also compete in the medium term. Pablo, Ryan, Paddack are all examples of this sort of thinking. Which brings me to Edward Cabrera, one of the best starting pitchers on the market. Cabrera is having a breakout year, is cheap, and is controllable for three years after this one. If the Twins landed him, he could help them make a (very unlikely) run down the final two months this year. More importantly, he’d be a big part of their rotation plans for the next three years. I am sure the Twins have at least checked in on what the price would be - which would undoubtedly be very high. But what would the price actually be? I’d make Keaschall and Jenkins untouchable. But beyond that, including two players from the system top 10, and maybe another lower level flyer or two. Perhaps Emmanuel Rodriguez, Riley Quick, and Billy Amick…would that be enough to get it done? Interested to hear what people might think.

    This did not age well. (Also, the Twins could have drafted Lee, Prielipp, and then STILL gotten Anthony with their 68th pick they used on Tanner Schobel before the Red Sox drafted him 79th in 2022.)
  17. AlwaysinModeration
    Lee hit that 0-2 99 mph fastball that was way up and out of the zone. Helluva at bat, kid!
  18. AlwaysinModeration
    9 runs in the 9th and 10th inning isn’t too shabby
  19. AlwaysinModeration
    The two homers to Cal Raleigh were fastballs straight down the middle. Could not have placed them any better.
  20. AlwaysinModeration
    Well, at least there is no need to sweat this game.
  21. AlwaysinModeration
    It’d be hard to win three straight against OKC. However, if they can somehow win game 5, game six back in Minneapolis would be fun.
  22. AlwaysinModeration
    Ok, Wolves have dispatched the LeBron/Luka Lakers, and the Jimmy/Draymond/Steph Warriors. Can they get past the Thunder? It’s been 34 years since a major MN men’s team has made a finals appearance…
  23. AlwaysinModeration
    No pressure, Zebby
  24. AlwaysinModeration
    I don’t think the voters are (were) actually looking at Rocket’s stats. But…fun idea! Also, on this topic, I think the sons of former major leaguers generally get a leg up on their peers because of their dads.

    Over the years, Ive come to expect the Twins to sweep the Orioles in Baltimore, but last year seemed to indicate a change of fortune. Yesterday my youngest son and I made an impromptu trip up 95 to see game two after he finished school. We got to our seats in time to see a walk, a grand slam and a homer and the 4-0 lead evaporate. Last year continued, right? But no, Kody Clemens helped restore order. We thought his go ahead homer was 95mph, 340feet, and 40 degree angle. We were surprised at the actual numbers (104/362/38). Also, that catch by Castro in the 8th was spectacular. Thank god they moved the fences back in left a few years ago!
