  1. Could be Zebby tomorrow? He's in Colorado but no decision yet.
  2. Well the Rockies need to win one more game in this series to get their first series win of the season.
  3. The crazy thing is the Rockies are so bad but are still middle of the pack in attendance, and will probably finish top-10 by the end of the year. Coors Field is an absolute beauty of a ballpark.
  4. I did a full recap on Zebbys last start. He looked really good throwing up to 98 MPH and his secondaries were nasty.
  5. Dang, as long as hes mixing in all of his pitches and throwing strikes the FO doesn't think velocity drop is an issue. 🤷
  6. Yep Ober on the hill, Keascahll leading off at DH tonight!!!!
  7. Wow, we know this Rockies are bad but Freeland is really having a rough season 1-10 yikes. Go Twins.
  8. Keaschall - 1B Sabato Buxton - CF Larnach or Wallner - RF/LF/DH Lewis - 3B Correa - SS Lee - 2B Wallner or Larnach - RF/DH Jeffers or Cardenas - C Martin/Rodriguez - DH/OF Keaschall, Martin, Rodriguez Bench (all play 2-3 days a week) - Julien Keaschall (1B/2B), Jeffers/Cardenas (C), Martin/Rodriguez (OF), Prato (SS/3B). Starting Pitchers: Ryan Ober Matthews Festa SWR Lopez takes over for whoever is injured or not performing when they return. If all are healthy and performing, the low man goes to the bullpen. Bullpen: Duran (closer) Jax (high leverage/8th inning) Varland (high leverage/7th inning) Topa Coulumbe Stewart Adams Sands Lawyerson This is what I think they should do, assuming Bader, Clemens, Keirsey Jr., and Castro are no longer with the team. Sabato at 1B because he's a natural first baseman and he's a good fit. Keaschall at 2B because we need him, and I don't think the Twins are very high on Julien, despite what he's doing at Triple-A. Martin is very intriguing considering the position flexibility, and he's playing well with the Saints. I love E-Rod, but yet again, he's injured, so the Twins might be hesitant to give him a shot right now. I'm out on Topa and think Coulumbe will stay on the team, being he's the only lefty out of the bullpen, and also the Twins' lack of confidence in Funderburke. Cole Sands is struggling, so I think he needs to be replaced by Kody Lawyerson. Although he's hurt right now, I would like to see him get a chance to pitch in low-leverage situations.
  9. Callan Fang from Harvard seems to rely on his secondary pitches. He has a plus curveball and changeup, as you mentioned, maybe they can add some velocity and/or movement to the fastball?
  10. Wow, what a year. He has all the weight on this decision. He has one year left of eligibility if he wasn't going to sign, and he's more than happy to go back to school if it isn't the right fit for him. He's a 2B but could move over to SS with some work. He explained that his SB numbers were down because one of the best hitters in the Country bats behind him, so he wasn't as aggressive about stealing. He also said he was more aggressive at taking extra bases and going from first to third on singles.
  11. That's pretty cool. He looks convincing to me, also a typical Brewers pick in these later rounds. https://x.com/Jaku_Throws/status/1887318081975775603?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1887318081975775603|twgr^aa739c6b40a2b1fe55973a7515dd833ddc06ded8|twcon^s1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.jsonline.com%2Flive-story%2Fsports%2Fmlb%2Fbrewers%2F2025%2F07%2F14%2Flive-updates-milwaukee-brewers-mlb-draft-picks%2F85192422007%2F
  12. To me, Robinson looks like a raw talent. He improved his BA, Hr, and BB/KK ratio from year one to year three. He showed decent power in his last year. I think his numbers look a little odd because of his injuries in both his Freshman and Sophomore years. The tools are there; the Twins system has to get it out of him.
  13. Project pick with huge upside. He was clocked with a 93 MPH fastball in high school. I think he needs to keep developing his third and fourth pitches, and once he does that, he can lean more on the fastball-changeup mix.
  14. Looks like a pick based on potential. He was great at the draft combine, showing off his all-around tools, with an average EV of 107 MPH. He was the Hawai'i Gatorade Player of the Year, if that does anything for you.
  15. I like the size and potential. His fastball will look even faster because of his massive 6'11 frame. Consistency will be the biggest key for him, but I like this pick.
