    Can we all accept that Royce is an average (at best) hitter now? I keep hearing folks say how he's improving (which he is from his .550 OPS) but all these time spans hover right around .700 OPS. I like the kid, but he ain't the cavalry.

    One of these teams has to win this game. It's the rules. It's also unfortunate.

    Biggest bummer for me is we're wasting what may be Buxton's pinnacle season.

    The sausage was weird but it's a fun little thing, and the players seem to be into it all around the league.
  6. LakesPibble
    Both.

    Remember when the White Sox signed a promotional deal with 7-11 so their games started at 7:11?

    I don't know that I can remember any player ever so consistently hitting meaningless home runs as Wallner this year. Most likely recency bias.

    There was discussion about clubhouse culture recently, and of course none of us know what it's like. But I don't think the idea of "You're a pro, just do your job" is realistic either. I'm guessing some of us have jobs, and those workplaces have cultures. Some are high energy, some are apathetic, some are negative, etc etc It's very hard to change a culture, and sometimes it's very hard not to be affected by the culture. From the outside, it appears whatever the culture is in the clubhouse isn't working, because it doesn't seem that there is much improvement going on recently, at least among batters.

    I've been thinking about this for a while. Who has improved as a hitter on the Twins in the last 2 or 3 years? I'm going to say nobody.

    But the way you get those sweet sweet stats is by doing something differently when your OPS is in the .600s. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but what do you have to lose when what you're doing isn't working? You'd think he'd have learned his lesson about saying the quiet parts loud when the baseball gods slapped him down for the last 14 months for saying "I don't do that slump thing"

    Saw this quote from Royce in an mlb.com article about last night's game. This mindset is concerning to me. "It's also hard to make a full in-season adjustment,” he said, “because you can try that and those 30 at-bats of trial goes toward your stats. Do you really want to sacrifice that? And if doesn't work, then you go back to what you were doing before. It's always hard.”

    This 100%. I've always felt like there is a lot of value for humans in knowing where they will slot in the lineup every day, what position they are committed to long term, etc.

    Is Buck just worn down? His numbers the last few weeks are not good at all.
  16. LakesPibble
    He seems like a great guy. It will be crushing if they ship him off to save $$$ this winter.

    I feel like our current FO is even greedier than most about service time and team control.
  18. LakesPibble
    I also like Royce and want to see him succeed, but I don't share the hope some others here seem to be holding on to. Also, 22000 at the park last night?

    López throws 2 simulated frames from mound as recovery ramps up Before September 1? At all this season?
  20. LakesPibble
    Pretty sure the plan is to draft a SS in the 1st round every year to infinity and beyond.

    @AlwaysinModeration This is not aimed at you in particular. this has been on my mind for a while. Keaschall has 43 MLB PA. Can we all just settle down please?
  22. LakesPibble
    I'm quite curious to see what the turnout it. The soup that the air is today probably won't help.
  23. LakesPibble
    If you look at spots 2-5 and squint and tilt your head a little you see a professional lineup. Upon closer inspection however...

    FV Rank Player Pos Age To From Trade 45 11 Kendry Rojas SP 22.8 MIN TOR Varland Well-built lefty with riding mid-90s fastball. Control-over-command type with fringe secondary stuff, no. 4/5 starter on track for a 2026 debut. The Twins certainly do not lack for end of rotation starters already. I'm fine with folks trying to be optimistic, but I don't see any way the team isn't bottom of the division for a few years, barring significant off season trades or FA signings.
