    I’m glad someone is finally willing to cut bait with Royce. His swing is too long and his plate discipline has largely disappeared. If you haven’t figured it out, the league has, which is to pitch him away, away, and further away and he’ll swing his away out of ABs. Now, the question is whether the FO can find a 1B with some pop rather than the pea shooters they waste cycling through at 1B.

    The Twins run a shoestring operation that one could argue would be successful if it weren’t for injuries or the occasional bad luck. The fact of the matter is there will ALWAYS be injuries and bad luck in a 162 game season and good teams have depth and redundancies to minimize those variables. You cannot give away almost 10 wins in the first half of the season with a minor league level bullpen and think that will make no difference when there are inevitable stumbles in the second half. Bad luck and injuries will happen but the Twins have done a poor job affecting the things they can control. Just remember that the Twins have won 90+ games only twice in the Target Field era while Milwaukee and Cleveland have topped 90 wins 8 times EACH in the same span. That’s on the organization.

    Only a couple of weeks ago I remember questioning why Roden was on the roster instead of Jenkins. I was educated as to why Roden was the better choice. Nice to see the Twins come around.

    So Buxton is injured again. Can they finally call up Jenkins or do they kick the can down the road because of “reasons?”

    The Twins are in the race because the American League is historically bad this year. If they had the same record last year they’d be 10 games out of the race. I like the Twins but we need perspective and if they miss the playoffs in a historically bad AL then they should look in the mirror and realize that they failed organizationally to give 100% from Opening Day. You don’t get to take half a season to build a bullpen without paying a price.

    Remember when Falvey was hired largely on the reputation of Cleveland drafting and developing pitching? That’s not to say that trading for young pitchers should get no credit, but Falvey had a large enough sample size to conclude he had zero to do with Cleveland’s success and was a lot more word salad than results.

    Honestly, Zoll’s explanation sounds like a litany of corporate speak to describe why they’re delaying Jenkins’s service time clock. Is there any empirical evidence that Roden is more deserving of MLB playing time than Jenkins?

    The season is a grind and there will be ups and downs. The competition has been strong as of late and softens considerably in a couple of weeks. I’m not worried about Kody falling off a cliff.

    The Field of Dreams game is a 3M draw in this day and age. The numbers were down because it wasn’t a very good game and the Twins are not a national draw. You swap the Twins out for the Cubs or the Brewers and you’re back around 3M. Baseball should consolidate some of its broadcast options but that’s a much broader issue.

    The Twins would rather waste a roster spot with a third catcher that they rarely play then promote a promising position player. This team has done a terrible job of developing talent and cares more about MLB service time chicanery than producing quality big leaguers. Ugh

    I’ll be the wet blanket here but the Twins haven’t hit a lick since the ASG. If you take out a three error game and a four error game by Twins opponents they’d be averaging 2 runs a game since the ASG and many of those opponents were bad. Walker Jenkins is the only top 7 2023 pick not to get promoted to the big leagues. It’s time for him to get promoted to The Show because this team needs a shot of adrenaline. Alex Jackson, it’s been real.

    Whether Zebby is in the BP or the rotation, he needs to develop an out pitch. He fills up the zone which is commendable but way too many long counts and solid contact even when ahead. Let’s work on that out pitch first.

    Keep Larnach. He’s a veteran presence on the team that takes quality ABs more often than not. I feel like most posters didn’t want Larnach on the team before the season and haven’t changed that attitude regardless of his play on the field. We need to be realistic about Larnach will fetch which would likely be low level prospects. In a wide open AL I’d rather keep the steady presence he brings even if it means he walks after the season. My thoughts might be different if he could bring a haul but that’s not going to happen,

    Every once in a while when you rummage through the Goodwill bins you’ll find a gem. It almost makes you forget about the garbage you also take home. I’ll give Falvey a small amount of credit but this appears more luck. If the Patriots really thought Brady was going to be good they would’ve used a higher pick. Likewise the Twins would’ve acquired Clemens earlier than a break glass emergency for cash considerations if they thought he was that good.

    The Twins delay promotion of players way too long in hopes of retaining control of them through the most years possible. While this may seem smart, it stunts their growth. Despite having a highly graded minor league system, how many successful position players has the organization churned out in the last five years? How many flameout after the league makes its first adjustment? Promote players when they show requisite talent and worry about paying them IF they succeed.
