    Hahahaha. Lee scratched from today's game with lower back tightness.

    I don't even know what point you're attempting to make. Nor have I said anything about Vazquez not being a catcher. I DO know that every reliever in the pen for more than a series WILL pitch important innings with games in doubt.

    Don't drink and run, Van.

    I believe i said Castellano will make the roster. If he's an effective reliever, I hope he stays. If he's not ready to be an effective MLB pitcher, I dont think it's practical for a team trying to contend to hide him in the pen for an entire season. I predict he won't be an effective MLB pitcher. I admit that's a perspective from 2000 miles away.

    Bingo. Starting about a week after finally winning a post season series in 23, it seems to me the Twins have gone out of their way to dampen enthusiasm and optimism. The average Minnesota sports fan right now doesn't have a very high opinion of this franchise.

    1. I'm not wrong. There is no such thing as a low leverage reliever in today's baseball. You prattle on about Jay Jackson while showing he blew 2 games by early May last year. Thanks for proving my point. Every reliever on the roster for more than a series or two will be in close games, multiple times. Every. Reliever. You can call Castellano a mop up guy, that won't make him one. He'll pitch with the game on the line of he stays on the team. If that's the plan, he shouldn't be on the team. 2. I have no idea who said Vazquez isn't a catcher. I doubt anyone did. But if they did, what the heck does that have to do with ANYTHING. As for the OP, Here's a prediction: the Twins will try to keep Castellano, but the plan will crumble before game 30, because its unworkable.. Let's just hope he doesn't cost them more than a game or two before that happens.

    The double earflap and distinctive leg kick made this one pretty obvious, IYAM.
  8. USAFChief
    But someone said "there is always blame?" Other than you, I mean.

    Miranda takes a called strike 3 after swinging at two pitches in the dirt. Against a LHer, no less. And then Lee takes the infamous called strike three NOT looking. Heck of an inning.
  10. USAFChief
    No more silly than the notion there is never blame
  11. USAFChief
    As I understand it, "hamstring" injuries refer to both muscular and/,or tendon issues. Could not tendon injuries result from loads caused by overdeveloped muscles? And do we know which type hamstring injuries Lewis has suffered?

    Color me officially concerned about Lopez
  13. USAFChief
    Let's see some production out of Lopez, if you please.

    I'm Having some trouble catching this one. In fact it seems to have flown right past me
  17. USAFChief
    "(First base) remains an obvious hole that could be filled with a trade (for Vladimir Guerrero Jr. at the deadline) or a free agent (by signing Vladimir Guerrero Jr. this winter)." Color me skeptical.
  18. USAFChief
    If the scores hold, we're up 13-12 in total. I'm calling that 2 Ws.
  19. USAFChief
    Yes

    It's more like 1/3 of his MiLB games at C. 114 of 324. I left out 3 pitcher appearances. You might have included his time in college, when he.was primarily a C. He actually hasn't been a regular at pretty much ANY position in MiLB. Mostly a 1st baseman, but not an every day player. Something of a spare part. I'd be surprised if he gets any regular time at C for the Twins in 2025. I'd be surprised if he gets any extended time at all with the Twins.

    Ty France is on first And as spring turns to summer It will then be Who
  22. USAFChief
    I think the question is: "Hoo's on first?"
  23. USAFChief
    I don't understand the hype here. I guess if the staff feels there's hidden potential here, ok. Try to work out a trade. But this seems to me much ado about nothing, and they sure as heck shouldn't try to carry him on the roster all season unless he's somehow ready to assume that the role of contributing member. And that seems to me pretty optimistic.
  24. USAFChief
    And this is why I'd be surprised if Castellano makes the team, and why he shouldn't. Can't carry someone not ready to contribute.
  25. USAFChief
    Lavagetto Gilchrist? Never heard of him.
