Like I said, Tyler Kinley -
I’m going to go the other direction on Kirilloff. Kirilloff is a sensitive guy, seems like a guy who would flourish if they just told him, “you’re our guy” and put him in the lineup every night.

Rockies gonna Rockie, i’m tellin ya
-
I really thought this was a three-game sweep—the previous inning will make it that much harder. Rockies gonna Rockie and give this game back? Never know…
-
And people make fun of regression lines! 🤣
-
Agreed.
-
I guess the word is out on Castro, sheesh
-
I’ve always been kind of a Rockies fan for their runs the late 2000s and then for Morneau and Cuddyer, but this is not those teams. oof.

A lot of angst about a spot start for Louie, against a team with a .00001 win% that gives off White Sox Tony LaRussa vibes
-
I know right? It’s been more than a week! 🙂
-
Two runs will probably be enough tonight
-
One theory is that pitching is better this year. My theory is that hitting is as brutal as it has ever been.
-
I actually thought it was tonight
-
always listen to daddy on these things..
-
don’t worry, this is MLB in 2024, 1st and 2nd with no outs doesn’t mean runs anymore
-
I think you are arguing two different things; hole vs whole maybe
-
Looking forward to these City Connect uniforms and a chance to connect with the City!

Does this 2024 Minnesota Twins team actually platoon a lot???
Hosken Bombo Disco commented on ashbury's blog entry in Left Coast Bias
I recall a story shared somewhere on this website, when Jack Goin spoke of a time when he told Ron Gardenhire that Justin Morneau (a left handed hitter) should really be batting closer to the bottom of the order against left-handed pitchers, on account of Morneau’s poor platoon disadvantage. (Something like that.) Gardy said back to him, something like: “I can’t move him down any lower than fifth, or I lose him as a three hitter too.” In other words, Gardy wanted to show confidence in Justin by leaving him at the top of the order even when the matchup was suboptimal. what a privilege to hear stories like that, by the way It’s a people game and I suspect something like what Gardy was talking about would be good for someone like Larnach or Kirilloff right now—let them play full time and become every day contributors, even though the lefty-lefty matchups might be suboptimal. -

The two switch hitters on this team, Santana and Castro, are the two hitters who lead the team in plate appearances. In other words, they always have the platoon split advantage. They also both typically bat at the bottom of the order. (Castro gets moved up sometimes.) They are also both better as right handed batters versus lefties. Most bullpen pitchers are righties. I’m guessing the current Twins brain trust gets the Microsoft error thud sound effect quite frequently when writing out their lineups, but charges right through it -
Sonny Gray is the type of player who does not give a crap about rally sausages, spoon & egg races, scheduled rest days, and whatever Thats what made him a bad fit here.
