    He's reminding more of late-career Barry Bonds than early-career Barry Bonds. I much preferred the latter.
  2. PDX Twin
    How does this affect his service time? Since he was in MLB, will the time he is out with the injury count?
  3. PDX Twin
    It's really wonderful to see Cave getting hot in time to join the Twins' roster!
  4. PDX Twin
    I second this. I've only seen a few of his games, but he has done something special every time I've tuned in.
  5. PDX Twin
    2.5 What? Innings? Pitches? Hours?
  6. PDX Twin
    Maybe it's my imagination, but it seems like they are shifting him more this year. And he seems to hit into it consistently.
  7. PDX Twin
    Well, what about the rumors about swapping Royce Lewis for the modern-day equivalent of Matt Capps at the deadline?
  8. PDX Twin
    This is a decent team. Neither (yet) a champion nor the embarrassment that they were last year. Enjoy the wins. Accept the losses. In baseball, there will always be a lot of both.
  9. PDX Twin
    Delighted to see him succeed. I hope that he and Spencer Steer can get along (Ducks vs. Beavers) once the latter gets promoted!
  10. PDX Twin
    It's his second cousin. See today's game thread for details.

    As I said in an earlier thread, Steer's development reminds me of Arraez. Never the top prospect on any team, but he just hits at every level. And Arraez's success translated to MLB. Let's hope that Steer's does too.

    Lots of question marks on the roster right now. And vaccination status must be playing a role in how the team reacts. There are apparently several (unnamed) unvaccinated players who won't go to Canada anyway. The team knows whom they will be missing, but we (I) don't. So, in Kepler's case, if he is not vaccinated he would miss three days there anyway and maybe they would go ahead and put him on the IL. If he is vaccinated but other outfielders are not, then they have to hope that he will be available in Canada since they will be short-handed already and maybe don't put him on the IL, playing shorthanded in Detroit in hopes of being less shorthanded in Toronto.

    What took you so long? That was the first thought that jumped into my mind!
  14. PDX Twin
    What really frustrates me is the number of times that one of our less-reliable relievers starts getting in trouble and there is no one warming up in the bullpen! I've been hearing this season that the Twins are tracking pitches thrown in the bullpen in addition to those thrown on the mound. Maybe they are going a little overboard in managing workload by avoiding warming guys up (until it is too late)?

    I am having the same thoughts about Steer that I remember having about Arraez five years ago. He's never been a top prospect with all the "tools," but his hitting has been elite at every level. Plus, he has power that Luis does not. I won't be surprised if he ends up getting called up after some infield injuries and making it impossible to send him back down.
  16. PDX Twin
    Shouldn't it be "Guardianapolis" now?
  17. PDX Twin
    And as opponents use 5 pitchers per game. Platoon opportunities have become less of a "playing against RH starting pitcher" and more like "pinch-hitting against RH reliever."
  18. PDX Twin
    Has Sano been giving Buxton baseball lessons? His bat, and yesterday even his glove, are moving in that direction.
  19. PDX Twin
    Numbers can be useful, but this is just garbage. It fails to describe what happened in a way that allows the reader to see it. Was the double a line drive or a long fly? Was it into the gap or down the line? These are far more useful bits of info than whether it was 111mph or 91mph. Likewise the single and the homerun by someone named Curt Ball who must be new on the roster. I have an Einstein quote above my desk to restrain my quantitative propensities: "Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted."
  20. PDX Twin
    Couldn't agree more. They are back to playing baseball, and baseball >>>> homerun derby!
  21. PDX Twin
    A stopped clock is right twice a day....
  22. PDX Twin
    Has anyone seen an analysis of how many of Sanchez's record-pace doubles would have been cheap homeruns in New York? It makes sense that when you move from a little-league park to a real major-league stadium some of the HR --> 2B.
  23. PDX Twin
    It was a semi-serious question. It seems like the strike zone has been migrating downward for decades.
  24. PDX Twin
    This is a short-term move. It's not like they have traded him for Matt Capps.
  25. PDX Twin
    Is "belt-high" really above the strike zone now?
