  1. Agree, a very good game to watch and a fun battle in this series. Ober threw a lot of pitches. If it makes you feel any better, Seattle's bullpen is just as depleted as the Twins.
  2. Kiersey has been lousy. He's one of the worst players in MLB this year, even with Rocco trying his hardest to hide his deficiencies.
  3. Adam Wainwright was raving about the throw. He said he didn't think Rodriguez had a chance at Wallner (who is running at his normal above average speed and not showing any signs of injury BTW). That's a play where the runner has a 95% chance of scoring. Are you sure you don't want Watkins sending runners when they have a 95% chance of scoring a run?
  4. If only I could have stayed up past the 4th inning. A Radke-esque start for Matthews, Buxton and Correa performing like they can, and a huge night for Castro and Larnach.
  5. Players generally peak ages 26-28.
  6. How many of those players were 26 or older? Young players can keep improving at the MLB level.
  7. Wants to watch Forest Lake softball compete in the State Tournament next week. Go Rangers!
  8. Hates the Twins City Connect jerseys as much as I do
  9. Wants to set the Saints HR record
  10. Then there's Kevin Maitan, who will retire in A-Ball. There are a bunch of roster-filler guys in the minors for the Twins already: Ford, Alvarez, Dearden, Cerda, Prato, Hess, Houghton, Shuffield, Joel Cesar, Rozek. They'll add 10-12 more players in the draft but we won't see many of them right away because they spend so much time getting them into the system.
  11. Neither one is going to provide much defensive value. If they don't hit, they're unplayable.
  12. He has been robbed by the defense several times. That isn't a problem if you put the ball over the fence. We need a Royce Lewis who hits dingers. Please don't turn him into Ty France.
  13. He's not going to hit better in MLB. He's going to walk less often, strike out more often and lose hits to better defenses. Maybe he hits .220 with fewer extra base hits. A drop in OPS of 200 is expected, which is equivalent to a drop in batting average of 100 points.
  14. I forget that baseball players are selected, above all else, for their public speaking skills.
  15. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6384227/2025/05/27/twins-lose-to-tampa-bay/
  16. Those players will need to improve at the plate to hit .300 in MLB. If they were already good enough to hit .300 in MLB, they wouldn't still be in Double-A. If a 22-year old player hits .330 in Double-A then he has a chance to improve enough to hit .300 in MLB. If a 26-year old player (like Sabato) hits .290 in Double-A, then he's probably not good enough to hit .300 in MLB. The majority of players max out their talent ages 26-28. After that, declining athleticism starts chipping away at performance.
  17. I don't know why anyone would prefer Larnach over Wallner as the leadoff hitter. Wallner gets on base. Royce Lewis should be batting 9th right now. Wallner, Correa, Buxton, Larnach, Bader, Clemens, Jeffers, France, Castro/Lee/Lewis/Bride I think about flip-flopping Correa and Bader but I'd trust their career numbers.
