    A team of mostly the same players is playing mostly the same as they did last season. Ty France also looks mostly the same as he did last season. Christian Vazquez doesn't have a hit or a walk but somehow managed to get caught stealing.

    Louie Varland coughed up another run but Alcala and McCaughan did fine. Varland was lousy last fall and he's been lousy so far this season. 71.4% hard hit.

    Looking over the Twins statcast page compared to MLB Stat Twins MLB average Zone Swing% 65.7 66.3 Zone Contact% 83.3 81.1 Chase% 29.4 29.0 Chase Contact% 47.4 55.2 They're basically league average. Barrel% and Hard Hit% are better than average. Angle is league average 13%. The one problem they're having is not enough line drives.

    I think we will see Miranda and Julien in a platoon for the near future with Castro taking the other spot in the lineup and moving defensively between 2B and 3B.

    What a terrible photograph, I'm surprised it made it into the image archive.

    I thought the pitcher balked. It was a lot more of a balk than what was called on Pablo Lopez the other day. They called the play hoping the White Sox would make a mistake. Wallner had two strikes in the at-bat and got to start over in the next inning. In the next inning, Wallner was able to draw a walk which led to a run on the Bader HR.

    Someone else will be hurt. The top 26 players are never all healthy at the same time.

    I don't think corked bats have ever been legal.
  9. DJL44
    I don't miss Max Kepler at all
  10. DJL44
    Varland has not been impressive. The same mix of strikeouts and hard contact we saw last fall.
  11. DJL44
    The only reason they aren't using Chris Paddack like this is he has the service time needed to reject the assignment to AAA.
  12. DJL44
    Everyone seems upset that Buxton was pulled and Keirsey was put in the game. I've been hearing from people all offseason that Dashawn Keirsey would be star if they just gave him a chance. This was a chance.

    Why isn't DeAndrade in Wichita?
  14. DJL44
    Noah Miller is easily obtainable. A few thousand dollars and the Dodgers will give him away.
  15. DJL44
    If the Twins want to keep him, they can use his option instead of DFA.
  16. DJL44
    Great article

    He did get an over-slot bonus, more like a low 1st or high 2nd rounder. I agree that it is worth reminding people that any player who has a positive contribution with a major league team has beaten the odds.
  18. DJL44
    It looks like the last spot in the bullpen is designated for pitchers nobody wants until we see Tonkin or Stewart return. We may see Ynoa next if McCaughan pitches in this series.
  19. DJL44
    Danny DeAndrade should be in Double-A. Will Holland is expected to return this season. If there is a problem in the immediate near-term a trade is always a possibility (buy someone else's AAA shortstop for cash).
  20. DJL44
    Apparently, he's been puking sick.
  21. DJL44
    If they're down by 8 runs it doesn't matter who you put in. That's when teams use a position player to pitch. It would be better to give innings to someone who might have a future with the club. They're giving Dobnak $3M worth of appreciation this year. He knows his job. It was good to see Wallner get a double and a walk, the outfield assist was icing. Willi Castro is doing everything he can to help the team win.
  22. DJL44
    It certainly doesn't bode well for him that he can't beat out Mickey Gasper or Dashawn Keirsey for a spot on the roster. If Emmanuel Rodriguez isn't ahead of him for a call-up, he will be very soon. Luke Keaschall is also trying to get that spot in the big leagues. Stuart Fairchild is freely available to any team that will put him on a major league roster. Is Martin better than Fairchild?

    I use the MLB.TV app on my Roku. I paid for Twins.TV on my computer and it worked just fine when I logged into my MLB.tv account in the Roku app.
  24. DJL44
    He would have to turn the clock back to 2020.
  25. DJL44
    Mickey Gasper reminds me of Don Mattingly, but the 1990s version after the back injuries took away his ability to hit for power.
