    Taj has always had talent. He had to decide he wanted to get better and learn what it takes to be a professional. Doing the pregame work and improving his pitches has made a world of difference. Its why even last year you could see the glimmers. I won't completely trash Tampa, but at the same time they allowed his mechanics to get completely out of whack.

    Bradley out for the 7th over 100 pitches and still dealing.

    Harmon - get over it. You are not the determining factor. The players union and league are the ones determining this. The players think there is an 80% chance of a lockout. You don't take the risk of delaying the progress of your prospects for a month worth of play at the MLB level in a season that likely doesn't matter.

    No we had a threat - 2nd base no one one and then couldn't even move the runner.
  5. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    I agree, but we need them to get experience this offseason and next spring in the minors if there is a stalemate on the CBA.
  6. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    The Dilemma is the Culpepper/Jenkins era doesn't likely start this year. If they are turning into pumpkins we most likely sell at the deadline.
  7. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    Brooks Lee is 0-3 but has done that on 18 pitches. Wish our other players would make him work.
  8. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    Well ****, keep your damn mouth closed Bean Counter LOL
  9. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    Bradley has pitched a gem so far.
  10. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    ZZZZZZZ did nothing after that single.
  11. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    Alright Keaschall or nothing this inning. Get us a run on the board.
  12. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    Clems stole 2nd. This is looking promising.
  13. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    The last time in cleveland they knocked Williams around it was in the 5th inning. Can we have a redux?
  14. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    Say what you will still 0-0.
  15. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    Eh, 17 pitches for 1 inning that didn't do a whole lot. I am ok with that. Make him work. 100 pitches in 5 innings or less is the goal.
  16. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    Lee vs Lee isn't that a toss up? LOL
  17. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    Lee with the SO. At least 6 pitches. Buxton with infield hit. Decent start.
  18. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    Well I am calling a win. You have Bradley on the bump, a team that knows they need a win - I think they pull it out. I think we a see the difference in a team fighting together vs the 2025 Twins after the deadline.
  19. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    They signed all 21 drafted prospects.
  20. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    So we are both right. He is swinging a bit more - but pretty much similar. He is hitting more line drives from the left side. The biggest thing is from the right side he is letting more balls go by - balls and strikes for what he doesn't think he can do damage on. This has increased his walk rate from 3.6 to 7.2. The biggest difference, is as a left handed hitter he is becoming a legit mlb hitter. .270/.322/.484. That will play anywhere.
  21. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    From me watching games to me it appears he is more discerning. I guess its not showing up. Even still then it doesn't logically fit that he is swing more but has a higher walk rate. I can't rationalize that. Having a higher BB is an adjustment. There is obviously something going on that is improving.

    1 month in the big leagues is not better than not getting any coaching from November to potentially June of 2027 or maybe 2028. Once it hits December 1st there is no more coaching for major league players. Period.

    I fundamentally struggle with what to do with this team. Logically and what best for the team is to either trade Jeffers now, or run a bit of risk on giving the QO and hope he signs elsewhere. With Caratini and Jackson as long as Caratini has no major injuries from last night the odds he gets traded increase. We should trade Joe Ryan at the deadline. The potential work stoppage may decrease the value. We may not get the offers that make it worthwhile to trade him. However - for what the actions the front office took last year, I am absolutely amazed at how good the clubhouse is. Bell stating this is the best and closest clubhouse he has ever been in. Granted that can change on the dime, but there is value in having a team fight day in and day out. This is also likely not a team that will give up even after a 4 game losing streak. My biggest concern last year was that it would bring in losing mentality. That we have avoided that risk is huge. Have 2 big trade sell offs would increase the risk. Even though this would be a true rebuild and the first time we have done it in decades. So if they meander and end with around a .500 winning percentage at the deadline what do they do? Likely light buying is my guess.
  24. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    Fair enough - I was off 2 weeks, still doesn't negate the issues of the potential work stoppage. Funny how you ignored that part. I will give you credit that you are invested, but beyond that you really don't look at the big picture.
  25. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    Jenkins is less than 2 weeks back from an injury. Rodriguez is still injured. The collective bargaining issue will likely keep all the Twins prospects down the remainder of the year. It is just what it is. If they are brought up and there is a work stoppage they can't play in the minors next year. This is prospect suicide for young players.
