    Cave made up for his bad route on Wade's double.

    Sanchez get hurt?? Or just ineffectively wild....

    Also stood there and watched it hit off the wall....

    The Twins won on a walk-off walk last night, sooooo....

    Arraez 1 - 22 and Miranda 3 - 25 with 12 K's are really struggling the last week or so...

    I quit listening due to the rain delay and being at work, thankfully they started playing again and reversed course to grab victory from the certain grasp of defeat. Cave and Celestino, really!! Heroes really to come from the least expected members of the party!!

    I think that Correa's decision will influence the teams decision towards Miranda. If he stays Urshela becomes expendable, but there are still question marks - Lewis, Kirilloff, Larnach and even Polanco, not to mention Buxton and Kepler. The next question then becomes who to trade - Urshela or Arraez?? Urshela frees up $$, but Arraez brings back talent. Good be a tough call whichever way the team decides to go.

    Because of this post I looked at the 40-man roster and saw that Jake Jewell is listed twice....
  9. mnfireman
    Baldelli wanted him to end his night on a good note, he got his ERA under 5.00, pitching the 9th may have ruined the good feels...
  10. mnfireman
    Has been activated?? More like still going. Since the KC series he's slashing .179/.207/.286 for an OPS of .493.
  11. mnfireman
    Ryan looked like he thought that one was over the fence....

    While this has generally been true in years past, the lost minor league season of 2020 has influenced when many players reach MLB. For those that chose to go to college, they are reaching MLB at later ages. On the flip side, it also kept the player's minor league time control clock ticking, resulting in some players being rushed to the majors for fear of losing them to the Rule 5 draft. Under normal circumstances, Wallner would have been called up last season, but he lost that year of development, and wasn't.

    Nobody said reporters were smart....

    Not to mention a week in New York and Boston preceding it.
  15. mnfireman
    Evidently he said again last night, when asked about FA and the possibility of returning to Houston, that he sees himself playing a long time in Minnesota. Take it for what it's worth.

    Add in last nights game (last 8 games): Kepler - .300/.323/.400 .723 OPS 3 2B Arraez - .219/.286/.344 .630 OPS 1 2B, 1 HR It's not Kepler's fault that the rest of the team quit hitting recently, and he will not continue to hit like this the rest of the season, but the Kepler hate is unwarranted.
  17. mnfireman
    10 day IL
  18. mnfireman
    Last 7 games (KC and Tex): Kepler - .269/.290/.346 .643 OPS 2 2B Arraez - .241/.290/.379 .670 OPS 1 2B, 1HR SSS, but Kepler is also dealing with a broken toe, whereas Arraez is healthy.
  19. mnfireman
    Better than Leon.....
  20. mnfireman
    Umpire is being more than a little generous. According to Baseball Savant he has called 9 strikes on pitches off the plate.
  21. mnfireman
    But he'd still be on second for Arraez with 2 outs....
  22. mnfireman
    He's arbitration eligible, which makes him a good candidate to keep or trade.
  23. mnfireman
    As easy as it is to be upset about Buxton's usage, it needs to be remembered that he is struggling with a knee injury that probably won't get any better until it can be addressed AFTER the season. Experts have told the team that a 10 day IL trip will not fix it and I am going to assume the PRP didn't work as well as hoped. I don't think the team knows Buxton's availability until he wakes up and lets them know how it feels, or at least until they see how it responds to that days therapy. It has moved well past the time to call for him to play everyday, and, IF the team falls out of contention, I wouldn't be surprised to see him shut down.

    1. Maybe. However BOTH of them will be back next year, $12MM for Gray is a steal and Mahle is still arb eligible, but will get a raise from $5.2MM. 2. True. His numbers are better with Leon, maybe sub him for Sanchez every time (SSS with both, he is only a 1 inning reliever after all.). 3. True, he seems stuck 2019 when he got bailed out frequently. 4. He does seem lost at the plate, but he is only playing on 1 leg and has publicly stated that he doesn't like to DH, but understands the team needs him (to contribute). 5. Arraez is making $2.12MM, so I don't know where you got that number. But as a whole, Correa, Buxton, Polanco, and Kepler have struggled this year, though with the exception of Kepler, all have an OPS+ of better than 115. I would not include Larnach and Kirlloff among the teams best hitters this year, neither has 200 plate appearances and their OPS+ are 105 & 88.
  25. mnfireman
    Ummm, no. Maybe you get lucky because he is flustered from making the error, but more than likely Correa is out by 10 feet or more.
