    Twins have guys who can steal, they just don't send them. Martin is a right-handed bat he probably will be around a while.
  2. Paul Walerius
    The Draft Tracker still has him as 54 years old. Seems a little old to be drafted.
  3. Paul Walerius
    Someone may have already said this (I haven't gone through all comments), but every player (minus the one pitcher) is college hitter. I kind of like it. You know a little more about what you have with hitter in their 20s. Twins, I think, feel they can make pitchers improve easier than hitters.
  4. Paul Walerius
    They are also going with guys likely to sign
  5. Paul Walerius
    But is he related to Daunte?
  6. Paul Walerius
    National and possibly Moran, as Moran is a FA.

    I don't think that would happen at all especially in those situations. If they have under 80 pitches and you attack him for leaving players in there (the way they were pitching) then you probably need to learn the game. I did make the same point in my original response that we don't know for sure how it would go. My only point is if Twins have/had 3 pen guys they can trust you can't take starter out on such few pitches after 5. I understand seeing a batter for the 3rd time sometimes goes south but they are professionals treat them like it. I am not calling for Rocco to be fired, just saying IMO these were L's because of his moves.

    Don't like Festa being lumped in there. SWR was not good his first few chances. Festa could go either way but seems to have what it takes (other than experience)

    Just a little data... 4/8 Ober 5IP 68 pitches left with a lead 4/14 Ober 6IP 84 pitches left with a lead 5/7 Tell me if you hear this one before Ober 5IP 84 pitches (issue 1) Alcala went out for a second inning (in 9th) in tie game. No longer can have a save Duran should have been out there Julien Replaced by Farmer in 5th and Larnach Replaced by Margot in 5th 5/17 SWR pulled after 5 2/3 IP 79 pitches. Okert gave up HR in 6th (only run SWR "gave up") 6-11 Varland (only good start) 5IP 0 ER 63 pitches. All losses.

    Obviously we don't know the outcome if he doesn't make certain decisions, however pinch hitting before the 7th is bad decision. I understand match ups but younger guys (LHH) don't get better if you don't let them face LHP. Also early on (and throughout his coaching career) I feel he had to fast of a hook when pitchers are doing well. I think last year alone Gray was taken out after 80 pitches and bullpen lost it.
  11. Paul Walerius
    Hopefully they do it, if he keeps wearing that jacket.
  12. Paul Walerius
    They may overpay to get a bat like Kep and we have Rodriguez waiting in the wings. (although 2025 is more likely for debut)
  13. Paul Walerius
    I don't see them trading Paddock. Outside of 3 games (2 against Yankees) he has been pretty good, coming off of injury. Yes he only has 3 QS, however, I feel like that is more of a coaching thing than him pitching poorly. 7 of 12 starts have been 3 or less runs and only 3 have been over 4 runs. 7 games he hasn't even thrown 90 pitches and only 2 of those did he get blown out. I am not saying he won't be traded in the offseason (although I doubt he would), just for sure not now.
  14. Paul Walerius
    Duran, SWR and Alcala were all received in trades so, like Ryan, they are not "home grown". That being said the organization has done well to get them to the next level. Thielbar was found in independent league.
  15. Paul Walerius
    Does AK have options?
  16. Paul Walerius
    I don't see an issue with calling it a pipeline, However, we have to have continued success. The starting staff has Ober (from our "pipeline), beyond that I am not certain that we have anything. I do think we have some very good arms on the farm but will it translate. Varland has not been good as a starter in the Majors, and I believe he will/should take Thielbar's position eventually. I think if we can get continued success with (when brought up), Festa, Raya, Soto, Lewis etc, you can call it a "pipeline".
  17. Paul Walerius
    Odd how that works. He stayed in there tonight and helped give the Twins a little more cushion. Don't care about the Ks he is more productive than Farmer.
  18. Paul Walerius
    Absolutely not. Dont care how good Julien is doing at the plate 1. it was the 5th inning and 2. Farmer isnt hitting any better. I would prefer to keep the guy who has 7 HR, in the game until 8th or 9th if they need to pinch hit.
  19. Paul Walerius
    The wrong Box Score is link for each affiliate.
  20. Paul Walerius
    And he was excellent in the pen.
  21. Paul Walerius
    Gallo walked?
  22. Paul Walerius
    I agree. If that throw was at the base Witt beats it. Not to mention it was right on Witt. Correa just had to catch it and his glove was on him.
  23. Paul Walerius
    I don't believe he has but he is 36 (35 last year after injuries). I am sure there are others that don't throw hard, he is just the first that came to mind. For 6 years he was a top pitcher in the league winning CY once and could have easily one it a second time.
  24. Paul Walerius
    That would be nice however as a FA do they want a short term deal? Bellinger (28) maybe more likely than Montgomery (31) but I don't know.
  25. Paul Walerius
    I don't believe Kuechel had high velocity. If he can get up to 92-94 and have good control those other pitches will help him keep hitters off balance.
