    Regarding Jeffers, I thought hamate bone injuries usually resulted in their removal and were season ending. Hope not. Kirilloff's wrist put the final nail in the coffin of his career.
  2. Nshore
    It's all quite amazing when you consider the abject failure of key guys they were counting on and the mounting injuries. It's a wonder they aren't 245 games below .500. Oddly, it makes me want to root for them even more. Ryan, Ober, Prielipp, Bradley, Matthews in the rotation. Emergency move of Abel and Rojas to the pen - assuming everyone is healthy. 'Tis but a scratch. They're not dead yet!

    Bottom half of the order: Clemens, Lewis, Gray, Outman - and they don't win??? My world doesn't make sense anymore! It's amazing there were that many fans at the game. Hope is eternal!

    Great. Now this article probably deepened Lewis' paranoia. Why are you waiting for Lewis to fail?🤨
  5. Nshore
    Rojas has a big left arm and poor control. He's technically not a minor leaguer anymore but they probably want to send him back down and work as a starter. I would continue to take a shot with him in the bullpen and gamble that he'll gradually get zeroed in. If he does, he could be a real difference maker.
  6. Nshore
    I'd like to be optimistic about Lewis, because he had a lot more injury adversity to fight through than Wallner. But he has the familiar off balance/clueless pitch recognition look of a player circling the drain. He said he worked with a new off season coach, but I don't really see much difference at all. Maybe he's just not that good. I think he's toast.
  7. Nshore
    If the injury prone E-Rod is ever dumb enough to slide head first while running to first base again, he should be banished to Siberia for a year to play baseball by himself. If Wallner starts hitting again at AAA, I hope they trade him rather than bring him back up.
  8. Nshore
    Before the season started I wanted Matthews and Ober moved to the bullpen. Um.... maybe not.
  9. Nshore
    I agree 100%. Classic case of taking hitting problems to the field. He really seemed to dog it going after that ball in the gap that ended up being a triple yesterday. That kind of thing is poison for a team. Who knows, maybe that was the last straw.
  10. Nshore
    If by some miracle Wallner and Lewis find success elsewhere, IMO no one can say the Twins didn't try everything they could to help them succeed. It really reminds me of Jose Miranda. One minute they look like All Stars, the next minute the trap door opens and they're gone. Congratulations to Martin - who has earned the shot.

    I still think SWR could be a pitcher along these lines. Without the blazing fastball that's pretty much his only hope. He was doing it toward the end of last year, and it was fun to watch. Hopefully he can rediscover it - fast.
  12. Nshore
    The Wallner/Lewis drain circle watch. Wallner - 4 strikeouts. Lewis nailed to the bench.
  13. Nshore
    Lewis's paranoid statement about people waiting to "write him off" is very......weird. On the contrary it seems like the organization has been more than patient and bent over backward for him. The young man really needs to grow up.
  14. Nshore
    Still rooting for Lewis to keep turning that key in the ignition and finally have the engine turn over - before he gets towed.
  15. Nshore
    Now show SWR how to do that.

    The Varland trade has the potential to be one of the worst in Twins history. It was so bad, Falvey quit his job and went into the witness protection program. I often wonder if teams hype prospects in order to lure naive GMs into dumb trades. If Rojas was so great, why has he had to add velocity to his stuff, which has thrown everything out of wack?
  17. Nshore
    The parity so far in the Central Division might work against some of these young players getting an early opportunity with the Twins. It might lead the powers that be to believe there's still A CHANCE, make them more conservative, and stick with retreads and failing veterans - which IMO defeats their own purpose.
  18. Nshore
    The Milwaukee Brewer's budget is usually in the bottom third of the league and their on field performance is almost always top quality. Shows what having baseball executives who know what they're doing can achieve.
  19. Nshore
    All I'm saying is a team have as many effective proven pitchers as possible - not a specific number. Quality hitters at the bottom of a batting order "lengthens the line-up". Quality pitching provides depth. Guys like Bradley and Abel who have never done it, pitch a month and then go hang out on the disabled list - not so much.
  20. Nshore
    I have searched my immortal soul, and I still disagree with you. But I'm all for giving the rookies a shot. For the Twins, that's what this year should have been all about from day one - a long try out camp.
  21. Nshore
    It's a very tough call on Lewis. But if Arcia provides a live bat at 3B and semi-competent fielding, I think they have to bring him up. One more competitive bat in the line-up could make a big difference now that Lee has come around. Maybe give Lewis another week or two.
  22. Nshore
    If they could only get one more player to wake up like Lee has things might get interesting. Lewis or Wallner could change the whole picture. Are blood transfusions legal?
  23. Nshore
    All of the Central teams are already seemingly running on fumes - and it's not even 2 months into the season. If by some miracle the Twins end up on top in this division, which is honestly (very) remotely possible, they should honor Shelton with the State Fair Seed Art Blue Ribbon or Nobel Peace Prize or something. Keep your eye on that waiver wire Jerry!
  24. Nshore
    "Depth" is pretty meaningless if the next man up on the mound can't do the job - unless you're looking to increase your depth in the standings. The phrase that applies to mutual funds applies to Minor League records- "Past performance is not an indicator of future (Major League) returns". How many proven pitchers? As many as humanly possible.
  25. Nshore
    It's deceiving when you talk about "starting pitching depth" and 6 of the names on the list have never been effective starting pitchers over the course of a full ML season. It was a mirage.
