    Perez over his last 21IP: 12H, 4BB, 20K, 1ER.

    Re-reading this thread, a lot of people hated this signing. Nicksaviking didn’t, and above was my take. The only thing I missed back on January 20 was that Wes Johnson might help him add some mph to his fastball....

    Twins have the lineup to come back. Need some baserunners, get a couple back this inning.

    My thoughts exactly. I never understand how much these rankings can change so much after the spring season. MLB players have lousy seasons. That doesn’t change their core abilities. An example of this is Trea Turner. A year out from the draft he was in the conversation to go #1. He wound up falling to 13 to the Padres while the Twins took Nick Gordon at #5. Would have been good to use the “let’s take the guy billed as #1” strategy in 2014! Edit to add: I know no one likes the draft second-guessing. However, I bring it up in the context of the conversation as a potential lesson that could be learned for future drafts. If the Twins could get someone of Turner’s caliber from THIS YEAR’s #13 pick, including targeting anyone who’s stock has just recently fallen, that would be great.

    Also climate controlled.

    I assume Sano will go 4-4 with a homer and be promoted tomorrow.

    So that new MLB pipeline list looks pretty good for the Twins picking at 13: Corbin Carroll #14 Josh Jung #16 Kameron Misner #19 In terms of the #39 and #54 picks: Rece Hinds #35 Kendall Williams #53 Carter Stewart #59

    The sky is falling!

    Twins first thirty games: 6-4 7-3 6-4. Keep on moving, next ten starts tomorrow. Forced them to use six innings of bullpen today. Not a great game, and bad umpiring, but shake it off and beat them tomorrow.

    Almost seems like Smeltzer (and Balozovic) need to be in the prospect lists at the bottom of teachers review.

    Sano moving up to Pensacola after two games, getting some time playing with Royce Lewis. Now on to spend some time with Kiriloff and Brusdar. While the Twins go 19-10. This is working out just fine.

    Let us marvel how Cabbage shredded.

    Now the Twins have a regular ol’ three game home series against the Astros. Take 2 of 3, and take the season series against them. Oh, and they miss Verlander in this series, and have Berrios lined up for the finale.
  14. AlwaysinModeration
    Actually, I think Kiriloff continues to rake and surpasses Lewis this year.
  15. AlwaysinModeration
    Twins Nguyen!

    So the “lefty heavy lineup” includes 2 righties and a lefty on the bench? That’s doesn’t seem that abnormal.
  17. AlwaysinModeration
    To me, they handled it perfectly. They put the worst pitcher in the toughest matchup of six games. They won 4 of the other 5, and predictably lost the mismatch. Stewart might not have been the best AAA option (Littel, Thorpe, or even Brusdar), that is certainly debatable. But I think they chose the right game to start a AAA pitcher.
  18. AlwaysinModeration
    I believe Perez drew the “Cobb” start. Anyone else notice Cleveland has a four game set versus Houston and misses Verlander?
  19. AlwaysinModeration
    I hate this thread.

    They are taking a really, I mean really, slow approach, not only extended spring training, but also stops at multiple minors teams. Of course, two of them are now in Florida. I’m not sure I’m crazy about the approach, but they’ve made their minds to do it this way and are sticking with it. It should be a nice shot n the arm to get him back in the line-up in a couple of weeks. It might actually help Marwin to allow him to move back into the super-utility role instead of one position. I’m also eager for Miguel to get time with Cruz.

    I think my suspicions were just verified. From the Do-Hyoung Park article yesterday: “And now that the pressure of the streak is off Buxton's back, he's thrilled that he's just free to run again. "In a way, it's more relieving, because now, I get to run," Buxton said. "I think I put a little bit more pressure on myself once I got on. 'All right, make sure you can get here,' so that way, instead of trying to get that extra base and being aggressive and trying to get that extra 90 feet, I was more on the passive side of, 'Make sure you can get this before you run.' Trying to be perfect instead of just playing the game." ... "There's been some times when I felt great on the bases and I've looked, and it's like, 'Man, he's got a cannon.' My first thought was, 'Man, I don't want to get thrown out, so I'm not going to run.' Instead of, 'You know what, I'm going to run. I don't care how good you are.' I got that mentality, but it was still on the passive side. It was that one thing holding me back, instead of me just going." I, for one, am looking forward to more of the “I'm going to run. I don't care how good you are.” Buxton!

    Bad jump, high fastball, throw right at his hip, and even with all of that, he was barely out. 33 ain’t bad, but no records. Oh well. Time to start another streak, Buck!
  23. AlwaysinModeration
    Twins go 6-4 in the first ten, and are 6-3 in the second ten.
  24. AlwaysinModeration
    SWEEP!

    Dug up the article that caused me to first look at the numbers. It was a 2018 article by Rob Arthur, in which he says: “For every mile per hour above 108, a hitter is projected to gain about 6 points of OPS relative to their predicted number.”
