    Sunday marked 8 weeks since he was HBP in Atlanta, are there any updates concerning his recovery, rehab, etc...??
  2. mnfireman
    Jax, Varland or Stewart maybe, big K guys who could "possibly" go 2 IP, otherwise no. Lopez and Mathews being hurt, as well as Ober (injury??) stuck in some sort of funk, and Festa and SWR not being allowed to go through the line-up 3X does kind of handcuff the rotation at this point. And let's not get started about the (lack of) defense behind them, but facing extra batters and throwing extra pitches doesn't help.

    This team has found out that the little things matter in baseball, yet they keep playing for the HR that will erase all mistakes. Catching the ball, throwing the ball, and running the bases all still matter, and if you can't successfully do any of them you will lose games....a LOT of games.

    Probably the saddest, but most true, statement regarding this team...
  5. mnfireman
    Frelick, batting lead-off and Yelich in the three-hole, are both LH, imagine Rocco wants a clean inning from Coulombe and Festa comes in to start the 2nd against Contreras.

    The sky is falling......

    Despite the HR against Ober, Steer has -0.6 bWAR and a 64 OPS+, not exactly setting the world on fire.

    8:15 CT start time

    You're forgetting Keaschall, though he was due to cool down after such a hot start. And Matthews isn't "down for a minute" based on researching the type of injury.

    Vazquez led the team with 5 SH in 2024 (half the teams total) and Clemens has the only SH in 2025. Meaningless stats? Probably, but it goes to show the teams (Baldelli's?) general approach with RISP, their .706 OPS ranks 22/30 in MLB, even worse their .635 OPS with runners on 2B ranks 24/30.

    So, probably lost for at least 100 days. Going back to his last game (6-4-25), that puts his return somewhere around September 12. He may be able to return to help out of the BP, if the team is able to stay in contention. Time to start packaging players/prospects for SP help.

    Alcala's days may be limited anyway, looks like Tonkin is starting his rehab in St. Paul this week.

    After re-watching the video, I think it was a designed play. There were 2 outs. Lee, a LH batter with some pop was batting, France was the trailing runner, getting his secondary lead. Guerrero broke for the base as the P delivered home. Somebody on Toronto's bench saw something on one or both pitches of the PA to that point. Not to deflect blame off of France, he needs to be situationally alert, but Borrego, the first base coach, needs to be helping him when he see's Guerrero break to the base with the pitch. https://www.mlb.com/video/bowden-francis-ball-to-brooks-lee-jogbdn

    Good teams find ways to win...take that for what it's worth
  15. mnfireman
    Poor execution of the right idea, pitch was way too low to try to lift a fly ball deep enough...
  16. mnfireman
    Not deep enough to send Correa, Watkins needs to learn his runners a bit better...

    Dobnak getting the ball in St. Paul today...
  18. mnfireman
    Average days missed - 73, median days missed - 58; looks like 2 - 2.5 months to me. Stewart and Ryan were both season ending injuries in late July and early August, so their time missed would have been longer the days indicated on the chart. I would be surprised if we see him before the middle of August. Might be time to see if we can package Julien, Miranda, Martin, etc... for a SP.

    Will the Twins be pro-active and place him on the 60 day IL immediately, allowing them 40-man flexibility or will they wait. I understand it's a mere formality to move a player from the 10 or 15 day IL to the 60 day, but given the 8-12 week time frame I am just wondering how they will move forward.

    I keep getting confused as to whether articles like this are satire,,,

    France passes the eye test. Offensively he's on pace to meet or exceed everything Santana did last year (except HR's) and defensively he rates out highly by OAA, runs prevented and all the other metrics.
  23. mnfireman
    While trying to remain optimistic about Lopez's injury, a look at FanGraphs injury report of pitchers with lat injuries indicates a minimum of 6 weeks before even starting a rehab assignment, so best case scenario we're looking at an early August return. SWR pitched last night, he got knocked around a little, and, as of now, Festa is scheduled to pitch today. Maybe fly Festa out to Sacramento to take tomorrow's start, allowing Ober, Paddack, and Ryan to pitch the Toronto series on an extra days rest.
