    Lewis with five grand slams in his first 16 homers. Hank Aaron hit his fifth grand slam on his 266th homer.
  2. IndianaTwin
    Lewis has more career grand slams than Derek Jeter and Al Kaline. Combined.

    On Correa and Castro wearing No. 21, the White Sox announcers said that any player who has ever been nominated for the Clemente award gets to wear the number on this day. Cool idea.

    And actually, I just caught a picture without the helmet, and the resemblance was even stronger.

    I’m catching up on the DVR, but I just made the same comment to IT Jr.

    The same chart above shows Kirilloff being only slightly less atrocious than Julien against LHP. If you’re going to pinch hit for Kirilloff at that point, you have to take defense into account, so Solanonmakes sense. And if you’re going to pinch hit with four innings left, you don’t burn the catcher.

    To add to the Julien discussion, his nine hits against LHP includes eight singles. That speaks of an outfield defense playing shallow in that game situation, further lessening the likelihood of scoring the runner from second. Pinch hitting Vazquez led to bringing in a righty as expected. While Vazquez’s OPS vs RHP is pathetic this season, it’s actually .667 for his career. That’s significantly better than Julien vs.LHP.

    Not mentioned is one of the main reasons I see to keep him, and that is that he also has a very affordable option for 2025. That both increases his potential value for the Twins and his potential value as a trade chip.

    I know it’s considered bad form to use a non-Twin, but I’m going to beg indulgence since the lowering to 13 coincided with the mathematical elimination of the White Sox, which is the first goal of any season.

    In Parfig’s defense, one can see why he used “field” with a setting like this!
  12. IndianaTwin
    He hasn’t actually started a rehab assignment, right? They can make a rehab assignment go 20 days, so unless it starts today or tomorrow, they don’t have to make a decision on him before season’s end. Additionally, St. Paul only has two weeks left unless they make the playoffs. The likelihood of him improving the team after this much time off is pretty slim. If they deem him ready, I’m guessing they send him to St. Paul for however long they play, then send him to the complex to get additional at bats, but the only way he gets added to the Twins roster is because of multiple injuries.

    Disco Dan Ford is in the building.

    That spiraled out of control.

    They appear to have sent Foley to a van down by the river.

    I'd be glad if it was D) none of the above. In my experience as a coach, I would have found hazing counterproductive to the type of culture I want to create.

    Speaking of depth, Nos. 11-17 on this year’s team already have 2 more fWAR than last year’s 11-17 did. Add 15 percent across the board to this year’s numbers for the remaining 22 games, and they come out fairly close on the hitting side. Which leads to a discussion on the significant additional depth on the pitching side compared to a year ago…
  19. IndianaTwin
    Who? I’m not necessarily disagreeing — I’m just not aware of times when they’ve done so?
  20. IndianaTwin
    Yikes. When I'd googled, it was described as a dark film. They weren't kidding!
  21. IndianaTwin
    I think they've handled him well. I also think that having him in St. Paul gives them maximum flexibility going forward. They've now reached the point where they could bring him back up without needing an injury to do so. By putting him on the IL, they'd be committing to not using him until next Tuesday. At St Paul, they can give him another start or two to make sure he stays stretched out for continued usage as a starter in either the regular season or postseason. Or, and particularly if Ryan and Maeda continue to look the part as starters 3 and 4 for the playoffs, St. Paul is the best place to transition to the pen in a structured way, with x number of pitches on x number of days' rest, etc.

    I see what Francona is doing with bringing Fry in to play 1b. It's the old swap positions trick, where he can slide Clase over to 1b when he wants to go to Fry as a pitcher, leaving Clase in the game.

    Sounds like all in all, the Varland As Reliever experiment is off to a good start.
  24. IndianaTwin
    Sounds like he was.
  25. IndianaTwin
    Yes?
