    Larnach, Wallner and Miranda have been average, if not slightly above average. They really miss Buxton and Correa.
  2. DJL44
    It would really help the rookie pitchers (and the bullpen) if the defense played better. They miss Correa and Buxton defensively at least as much as they do on offense.
  3. DJL44
    He's been outplayed by Miranda and Lee at 3B. Other than Castro the competition (Julien, Farmer, Martin) is not as good at 2B.

    Ronny Henriquez has had a nice season split between St. Paul and Minnesota.

    The Royals' pitchers didn't leave very many pitches in the middle of the plate. They got outpitched tonight.

    The other playoff teams in the American League are not exactly loaded with pitching. If you look at the top 60 pitchers by WAR: Out of Playoffs: Skubal, Greene, Fedde, Skenes, Anderson, Crochet, Webb, Ortiz, Houck, Abbott, Yates, Imanaga, Woo, Sanchez, Keller, Gilbert, Lorenzen, Eovaldi, Holton, Assad, Helsley, Walker, Gomber, Miller, Crawford, Soriano In Playoffs (NL): Sale, Wheeler, Lopez, Nola, King, Suarez, Cease, Flaherty, Iglesias, Scott, Manea, Peterson, Fried, Hudson, Glasnow, Myers, Estevez, Adam In Playoffs (AL): Lugo, Ragans, Blanco, Valdez, Clase, Gil, Wacha, Brown, Jax, Gaddis, Lopez, Bibee, Burnes, Ober, Joe Ryan, Eflin, Lorenzen The Royals have all the pitching, then Houston. The Twins match up fine with everyone else.

    I expect he will start again at Cedar Rapids. There is so much attrition as the season goes on due to injuries. In the spring teams are still hoarding players and trying to figure out what they have which makes the AAA roster full of veterans. Some of that depth pushes "org" players down to AA.

    Which is hilarious since DiPoto "revamped" their offense to cut down on strikeouts. The revamped Mariners offense’s biggest focus? Cut down on all the strikeouts - The Athletic (nytimes.com)

    AK is probably getting non-tendered.

    Keirsey Jr will be thrilled to play 273 major league games like Andrew Stevenson.

    Sports are a lot more fun when you don't care quite as much who wins.

    Sad that it ends with a whimper but that's not unusual.

    Twins Magic Number is 17!

    Six game lead on the Red Sox and Tigers with 22 games left to go!
  16. DJL44
    He has bounced back from his rough patch but only to mediocre. I think I trust Ronny Henriquez more right now.
  17. DJL44
    Nevermind

    I'm expecting he'll be batting at the bottom of the lineup. He should be the best fielding CF on the roster. Castro can go back to 2B where he is the best fielding option at that position. Lewis back to 3B. I am expecting an upgrade over having injured Max Kepler in the lineup.
  19. DJL44
    Buxton played hurt ALL of 2023. He didn't have a single day of good health.
  20. DJL44
    One thing that helps a platoon player get into the lineup against same-handed pitchers is good defense. That's one reason why Jacque Jones and Max Kepler get to face lefties. It's also a reason why Wallner should stay in the game instead of Manny Margot or Austin Martin - his fielding is better. It makes no sense to downgrade future at-bats AND the outfield defense for the rest of the game to get one at-bat with the platoon advantage in the 4th inning.
  21. DJL44
    They liked Petty and Leach and Enlow when they drafted them, too. They "unloaded" Petty because it was a great deal to get two very reasonably priced years of Sonny Gray (plus a 1st round pick) for just one A-ball pitching prospect. It was a bargain price then and in hindsight one of the best trades this front office has made.
  22. DJL44
    You're assuming he attacks hitters with the same pitches / pitch sequence in the 1st inning and later innings. That, of course, would be a terrible idea if he's already given up a hit to the batter earlier.
  23. DJL44
    Chas McCormick has played 88 games for Houston with a -0.5 WAR. Adam Duvall, 90 games for the Braves, -1.3 WAR. DJ Stewart, 35 games for the Mets, -0.6 WAR. DJ Le Mahieu and Rizzo for the Yankees. Chris Taylor for the Dodgers. I'm tired of looking now.
  24. DJL44
    Just a question - has Austin Martin ever tried to field fly balls in a stadium with a roof? I wonder if he lost that ball in the ceiling.
  25. DJL44
    If they need a spot on the 40 man roster, sadly they can use Correa. He went on the injured list on July 16 which means he will be out 60 days on September 14. I'm not sure he will even return in time to get some plate appearances before the season ends.
