    ETA 2028?
  2. DJL44
    I wouldn’t mind having Kenley Jansen in the bullpen.
  3. DJL44
    They are both also on the bubble but have pitched better than Orze lately
  4. DJL44
    I think MLB used to draft athletes and hope they could learn how to hit. Now it drafts hitters and the ones who can play defense make it to MLB. Minor league defense is terrible.
  5. DJL44
    If they get Lackey in a few minutes we will all forget about Sprock
  6. DJL44
    Feels like a trade partner wants to see how he performs in AA.
  7. DJL44
    Correct, Bachman was nasty
  8. DJL44
    0 for 16 with 8 strikeouts was a good lesson.

    Dick Bremer has his day on July 11. He and Provus should do an “all play by play” broadcast booth.
  10. DJL44
    Loss aversion is real.
  11. DJL44
    Maybe top 10 in the American League. No way to top 10 in MLB.
  12. DJL44
    Schneider also has much better options. Their bullpen is quite good with an ERA of 3.81 versus the Twins 5.45.
  13. DJL44
    Nance immediately becomes one of the top 4 relievers on the team. Are they optioning Adams or Orze?
  14. DJL44
    Jackson has played quite a bit of OF in the minors. I expect he will pinch hit/run and play defense at C a couple times this week. He isn’t going to continue to hit .296. He only hit .239 in St Paul. He has a batting line of .248/.301/.448 over his last 156 MLB plate appearances. I would take about 20 points off each slash if I was to guess at the remainder of 2026. .230/.280/.430 is okay for a catcher.
  15. DJL44
    Now he knows what to work on to make it back to MLB.

    SS was the biggest hole coming into the season and it is still the biggest hole in July. Arcia will give them a 650 OPS with bad defense. Their only internal solution is Culpepper. Hopefully he gets promoted soon.
  17. DJL44
    This is why you shouldn’t make conclusions based on small sample sizes. He came into this season with a career OPS of 76 in 153 plate appearances. This season he has an OPS of 64 in 176 PA. The Twins are getting just slightly less than they should have expected from Gray.
  18. DJL44
    Think about it in reverse. If the Twins didn’t have Ryan Jeffers on the roster, would you suggest they give up two top pitching prospects (ex Rojas and Hill) to obtain him for the last 3 months of the season?
  19. DJL44
    If the Twins wanted to spend that much on a catcher they would already have a contract extension with Jeffers.
  20. DJL44
    He’s also 30. Guys like him rarely have a career past age 32.

    Like someone else mentioned, I am not able to keep my eyes glued to the screen for every second. The play by play helps me know when to play fetch with the dog and when to pay attention to the screen. I suppose I could turn on the radio, but it is completely out of sync with the video feed.
  22. DJL44
    That only works if they aren’t cutting away from the game feed to show video of the announcers. That happened way too many times yesterday. If they do a split screen it becomes unwatchable on a small screen like a laptop or mobile phone.
  23. DJL44
    There are hundreds (thousands?) of talking head sports shows and podcasts. There is one Twins baseball game per day. I think they would work well as a “halftime show” but baseball doesn’t have halftime.
  24. DJL44
    I like when the analysts rotate. People only have so many entertaining stories to tell. I want the play-by-play back. There were whole sections of the game action I had to look up on the app to figure out what happened.
  25. DJL44
    Ugh, I’d rather not. Radio morning shows are repetitive drivel.
