    The bats have come alive.. they did well against a Sox lefty who wasn't Detmers. Sunday's game will be a good test, and a getaway day to boot.. historically a tough day for Twins batters. I'll look to see if Pablo's velocity is back up in the better conditions, and which if any of the left handed batters are in the lineup. A warning.. these won't be the same White Sox we saw last week.

    Nah actually live on the east coast, transplanted Midwesterner. The NFL is the only league that really micromanage starting times like some people would advocate. Outside of weather delays (see KC-Toronto yesterday with the getaway day likely impacting the decision) I honestly love the differing time zones.. makes for seven or eight hours of baseball if the Cubs are at home. 😊

    Seats make money.. a mid to late afternoon game on a Friday in Anaheim wouldn't be a very easy draw just to placate Midwest fans. I bet the Angels fans wish that east coast games started at 10 pm local time too..

    The results worked.. but Rocco took the platoon to an extreme against the lefty Sandoval Friday. Sat Larnach, Kepler, Julien, Kirilloff. We face a better lefty Sunday in Detmers.. it'll be interesting to see if he employs the same strategy. Yeah Farmer.. I got nothing. And Castro is thriving lately in the bottom of the order.

    I don't want to jinx anything but Carlos has some Zebop in his bat lately when he does make contact. Still plenty of whiff..

    Thanks for mentioning that incident. I also feel there's some connection..
  7. Patzky
    Yea to everything you said.. but you missed the point. I'll give you a hint.. there's a big A right there .
  8. Patzky
    Technically the Anaheim Angels are A.A. Should be a piece of cake.

    My Twins Health paranoia said it was ultimately done to push Pablo's next start a bit down the road (which of course it won't!) 🙄

    Hum. If you use Jeffers as DH on a day when you have an above average defensive catcher, that's ok. If the alternative on days Vazquez doesn't catch, is having Jeffers in the lineup as a slightly less adept catcher but you are forced to DH someone like Margot, I don't think that's a net positive.

    Thanks.. wonder why they moved him up?

    Hope the news on Emmanuel is better today. Seems like a productive evening for the young talent!

    Friday?

    Not even a fishing vest door prize this year..

    Guess he earned a few more starts after tonight. Does Carlos read this column?
  16. Patzky
    Take em off the board, yesssss..
  17. Patzky
    You mean a guy like Paddock with his 8 plus era? 🧐

    Louis Varland optioned to St Paul, Rony Henriquez called up. Max Kepler will also replace Jair Camargo tonight against the White Sox. Henriquez pitched 11 innings for the Twins in 2022.

    How long would it take to Unring the Popkins bell? Especially when we learn it's the Falvey bell?

    The excess players helped a lot last year. Think Solano, Taylor, Castro, Brock Stewart. The 2024 models deserve a recall..
  21. Patzky
    It's hard for anyone to have predicted the extent of the struggles of Farmer and Castro, even if we didn't agree with the strategy. Actually as the author notes, the strategy of having backups on place is sound and was necessary.. the parts chosen have just turned out to be unexpectedly weak. I don't see any trades on the horizon..
  22. Patzky
    I'm starting to see Bowman as a potential de Leon or Pagan type, and wonder if there's a regular spot for him if the team decides to part ways with Thielbar.
  23. Patzky
    The timing was perfect and you're right. The wheels weren't falling off but the lugs were loose. The bullpen selection was kind of raggedy.. might bite us in the rear tomorrow with Varland starting.

    A most useful skill when much of your team is batting .200.

    The sac flies made me smile bigger than a solo HR would have
