    Martin should be in every day for his defense if nothing else. A plus Walk rate tends to narrow a platoon split.

    Max Kepler is still a good comp for Rodriguez

    Going into the offseason it was obvious that the team needed a SS, 1B and a lot of help in the bullpen. Here we are in April and they still need all of those things.

    I should give Caratini some credit for yesterday. He pairs well with Ober.

    Morris shouldn’t have gone out for the 9th but it isn’t about stuff or whether he’s a single or multiple inning guy. That inning was stressful and he worked really hard but was successful. The adrenaline had to be high. Then he went into the dugout and the adrenaline had to crash. What could have been a win to build on turned into a loss that he needs to overcome.

    Mostly a mirage helped by a generous home plate umpire. I wish the relievers had been able to take advantage of the large strike zone. One of the problems for both Morris and Acton is they were not using the corners.
  7. DJL44
    Ober got a lot of help from the home plate umpire today.

    Pretty sure that ball was supposed to break and finish out of the strike zone. It didn’t break. People here need to expect more failure. Batters will hit .250 at best with runners in scoring position. This bullpen will have an ERA around 4.50 and will give up a run every other inning. The defense will be among the worst in the league. The frustration I have isn’t with the players for playing to their abilities. My frustration is with the front office looking at this team through Kasota Gold colored glasses and failing to address the obvious issues. Either build a contender now or rebuild with the hopes of building a contender in 2 years. Don’t waste your assets chasing 82-80.

    The prospects will have to pitch in front of the same lousy Twins defense as the current bullpen.

    No amount of practice will turn Brooks Lee into a good shortstop. He has maxed out his athletic ability.
  11. DJL44
    If Kreidler can hit well enough to be a backup outfielder then why isn’t he playing SS? Use him at the position where his defense will help the team the most.
  12. DJL44
    The ball hit him in the glove. I am blaming him for booting a ball that hit his glove.
  13. DJL44
    I don’t care about the accounting tally. Bell should have caught that ball. Fielders are taught to throw low. A ball that bounces once is easier to field than one that goes over the first baseman’s head.
  14. DJL44
    Should we trust defensive evaluations from the organization that thinks Brooks Lee is an everyday SS and Josh Bell is a first baseman?
  15. DJL44
    Complaining about the same player every day over and over again is just whining. Wallner is a low batting average, high power batter like Joey Gallo. Whining about that isn’t going to change him. In yesterday’s game it was “sure thing future All Star” Luke Keaschall who didn’t come through when the team needed him. If he’s just a rookie we can’t depend on then why is he the #3 batter in the lineup?
  16. DJL44
    The same people are fixated on Wallner every game.
  17. DJL44
    Are you referring to the ball in the dirt that almost every first baseman in the league except Bell could scoop?
  18. DJL44
    I wish Outman was as good as Manny Margot.
  19. DJL44
    Keaschall has continued to play subpar defense too. It isn’t just his arm injury.
  20. DJL44
    Why do people want to skip over four outfielders on the AAA depth chart to bring up a mediocrity like Fedko? If Wallner is struggling the obvious first move is to give some of his playing time to Larnach. Alan Roden doesn’t have extreme platoon splits in AAA. Gabriel Gonzalez is a RH bat who can field almost as well as Wallner. Rodriguez has looked ready this spring. Fedko would be who I try after I try all of those other options and possibly the waiver wire as well.
  21. DJL44
    Isn’t Austin Martin the RH outfielder everyone has been asking for?
  22. DJL44
    I don’t think the Twins have ever had a player of that caliber in their 60 year history. I’m sure they would be better if they added an inner circle Hall of Famer but it’s not super helpful advice.
  23. DJL44
    “Outman has been utilized so sparingly that his not yet generating a hit over 15 plate appearances while striking out at a 53.3% rate has been inconsequential. Roden is more deserving of a 26-man roster spot than Outman. Given the minimized role he would have with the major-league club, however, it makes more sense for the optionless Outman to occupy this very minimal role than Roden, particularly this early in the season.“ Why is “guy so bad he doesn’t deserve playing time” a role with a 13 player roster?
  24. DJL44
    My god, tip your bartender $1. Cheapskate Minnesotans. Based on crowd sizes I have seen on television, three stands should service the whole crowd with no issues. People waiting too long is an execution problem that can be fixed.

    The Happy Hour is the best promotion they have come up with in years.
