    Why? If he gets injured he can be replaced.

    This is true, but the computer isn't calling the black part of the plate. The umpires (and hitters) know it and have shrunk the zone to match the computer.

    Time on the injured list will not grow cartilage in your knee. If that is the issue he will continue to have chronic injury problems with the knee. I still hope he's able to return for the playoffs. I'd rather have him on the bench than Jordan Luplow.

    They also have to make the adjustment to the larger strike zone in MLB versus AAA. The automated strike zone does the batters no favors for developing as a hitter.
  6. DJL44
    The umpire's job is to call balls and strikes, not encourage the batter to swing. A ball just off the corner has a 50/50 chance of being called a strike. That's a .500 OBP if you take the pitch (which is elite). It's worth a 50% strikeout rate if you also have a .500 OBP.

    You assume he hasn't been doing much with his knee. I assume his life has been nearly constant rehab since the surgery. Without a medical opinion I can't guess whether he will recover but it doesn't look good so far.
  9. DJL44
    Probably on a different team.
  10. DJL44
    It's time to give him a season in the big leagues and see what happens. There's no reason to stash him in AAA for another season.
  11. DJL44
    Can he rehab the shoulder injury enough that his power returns? If not, he's not going to make it. I think that's been the root cause all season.
  12. DJL44
    The Twins control Ober until the end of 2027, at which point he will be 32 years old. There is very little incentive to give him a long-term contract.
  13. DJL44
    I'm not. There aren't that many pitchers who can successfully pitch 5 innings in the big leagues. If you go to a 6 man rotation on the Twins you're giving innings to someone like Headrick instead of Sonny Gray. There are a lot more pitchers who can get through 1 inning than can get through 6 innings.
  14. DJL44
    As far as getting maximum production out of Ober I think they've handled him well. He's pitched great this season. They will be counting on him again next season.
  15. DJL44
    And his defense has been adequate across the infield.
  16. DJL44
    A win today means they would be expected to clinch in Chicago instead of Cincinnati.
  17. DJL44
    No. I'm saying trying to win is a lot more fun than selling at the deadline.
  18. DJL44
    Isn't this more fun than quitting?
  19. DJL44
    How about after you get down by 10 runs you have the option to just put a tee on home plate?
  20. DJL44
    They knew Giolito was the scheduled starter. :)
  21. DJL44
    Giolito was awful. So glad the Guardians picked him up.
  22. DJL44
    Royce Lewis is now tied for 10th for career grand slams by a Twin with Rod Carew, Bob Allison and Shane Mack. Killebrew is #1 with 10 Grand Slams. Single season record is six (Hafner 2006 & Mattingly 1987). Single season record for a rookie is 4 - Alexei Ramirez 2008.
  23. DJL44
    How many weeks does Ober need to hit the innings reset button? Shouldn't 2-3 weeks off be enough rest that the innings he pitched in April are no longer relevant? Joe Ryan already had his 2 weeks off. He's pitching great right now.
  24. DJL44
    Does he know Freeze Frame?
  25. DJL44
    Pretty much every free agent catcher has had a lousy 2023. I'd still rather have Vazquez than Zunino, Hedges, Narvaez or Casali. I definitely am glad they weren't the high bidder on Willson Contreras.
