    Took advantage of the Saints $4 ticket deal (after fees) and got a pair for Saturday night. Sale ends tonight.

    I still think he has a very good chance of getting selected. Starting pitchers get snubbed every year by all the slots taken up by relievers.

    I don't think the past month is a good representation of Wallner's expected performance the rest of the season. I don't know why Wallner is getting singled out when there are 6 other players who have been just as bad, if not worse. It's especially weird to single him out in a game thread where he got a hit. Actually, I do know why - he strikes out. People would rather watch someone hit weak infield grounders that turn into singles 25% of the time than watch someone who hits HR and strikes out. Wallner is going to be a boom-and-bust player.

    Player OPS last 28 Days Lee .780 (and trending down, he had a brutal last week) Larnach .759 Lewis .732 Correa .708 Jeffers .626 Clemens .616 France .579 Wallner .573 Keirsey .250 Vazquez .200 (with an .054 batting average) Wallner is bad recently, but he's about equally bad as France and Clemens. Christian Vazquez has a .200 OPS (not batting average, OPS) over that time period and one poster here wants to give him a 2-year contract extension.
  5. DJL44
    That would be malfeasance by the front office. Vazquez is a complete zero at the plate right now and he keeps getting worse as he gets older. Why do you want to watch 36-year-old Christian Vazquez hit .100 in 2027? If he decides to play in 2026, he's going to settle for a minor league contract with an invite to spring training. He is likely to bounce around the waiver wire for the remainder of his career.

    Fedko is never coming up.

    Minnesotans aren't happy unless they're tearing down their professional sports athletes. They're even more critical if the player is from here.
  8. DJL44
    Kody Clemens would get 80% of the playing time in that platoon. You'd be seeing if Sabato had what it takes to be a short-side platoon 1B playing against LHP. That's more than people expected from Sabato last season, but I think you really want to find out if he can play every day. The slow players care about winning, too. Christian Vazquez is trying to win, he just can't hit anymore. Desire isn't measured in foot speed.
  9. DJL44
    IMO - the failure to extend Jeffers and Duran has been one of the biggest problems with the current front office.
  10. DJL44
    This only makes sense if the Twins acquire two other MLB-ready catchers.
  11. DJL44
    My condolences
  12. DJL44
    Yes, but it is important to remember that there is no "book" on Sabato yet. Nobody has paid much attention to him because he's been mostly lousy before this season. He will also face challenges when teams find a weakness.
  13. DJL44
    Batters on the team with a lower OPS than Wallner Correa, Lee, Lewis, Vazquez, Keirsey, Jeffers, France but, by all means, let's make Wallner the scapegoat.
  14. DJL44
    Is one of them Dashawn Keirsey? No, you said 100 AB cutoff. Keirsey doesn't have 100 AB for his career yet. Hopefully he'll never get there. Throwing out two base stealers today was pretty huge. That isn't something that happens every game, though.
  15. DJL44
    Two out of three against Tampa is a good series.
  16. DJL44
    Is Travis Adams going to get the traditional day-off option to the minors?
  17. DJL44
    Sounds like Ryan is the next man up when someone drops out. If he pitches Saturday he should have no trouble throwing an inning on Tuesday and getting ready for a game on the following Friday.
  18. DJL44
    Vets with expiring contracts for prospects, not young talent for prospects.
  19. DJL44
    He is going to face Zebby in a simulated game soon, then head to Fort Myers.
  20. DJL44
    It is hard to carry a player for 3-4 innings of defense a week.
  21. DJL44
    Have you not seen him wearing a back brace in the dugout? There was a story about how it takes hours before the game to get his feet into playing shape.
  22. DJL44
    Is Sabato already ahead of Miranda on the orgainzational 1B depth chart? If not, he will be soon. Danny DeAndrade is one of the youngest players for the Kernels. Good to see him performing well.
  23. DJL44
    Polanco was signed as a free agent by the Mariners this offseason. His 2025 performance is completely irrelevant to the trade. The Twins traded away one season of Polanco to the Mariners. He put up a 651 OPS for $11.25M.
  24. DJL44
    Can he play defense? That will make all the difference for the timing of his debut.
  25. DJL44
    Austin Martin has hit .323/.389/.452 since he came back from injury and no errors in the field while rotating between LF, CF and 2B.
