    I wouldn’t say excitement, but maybe some hope? He has been rough for where he was drafted and why he was drafted, but hopefully he has figured something out and can become a usable player for the Twins. I wouldn’t be mad if they moved him up a level to see if this is real or a mirage.
  2. Yoke
    Looking forward to seeing him play, and if he can keep mashing in the big leagues. Great underdog story.
  3. Yoke
    I just want to be mad at somebody different.

    Lee probably shouldn’t go down when Farmer comes back, but should if Correa comes back soon. Farmer hasn’t played well enough to automatically get a spot back. Downgrading while in a pennant race feels like a bad idea.

    Aaron Sabato has had a pretty decent 19 game run in AA this season. I don’t think they need to move him up or anything, but it’s nice to see. Jenkins has to be done with his rehab stint pretty soon, right?

    Ken Rosenthal actually just wrote an article about this. It was talking about how pitching quality is so much worse at AAA, so once you get called up, it’s harder than ever. “Through Monday, the average Stuff+ of every pitch in the majors was 100. At Triple A, it was 86, down from 95 last season. Among major-league starting pitchers, that’s roughly the difference between Mitch Keller and Griffin Canning. Only 29 starters out of 142 have thrown 20+ innings with a worse than 86 stuff.” (https://theathletic.com/5481059/2024/05/09/mlb-top-hitting-prospects-majors/?source=user_shared_article if you subscribe to The Athletic)

    Is 4 innings and 56 pitches a high for Raya? At some point, they’ve got to let the guy push it a bit. Wish the plan for him was more public, just to know if he’s going to get to 100 pitches in a start sometime before getting called up.

    Sorry, earlier in the morning me apparently has bad reading comprehension. There are some great articles, and there are some that might just need more time or finesse (I think that’s where I feel the rushed thing). I do appreciate the site, and the efforts of everyone. Young me would be trying to write articles on here, and I appreciate that. Old me just needs to mess with the curating thing.
  9. Yoke
    I don’t post at all anymore (nobody misses it), but the main thing for me is that the articles aren’t worth dealing with the ads. Reader mode helps, but then you have to switch off that for the comments. I just think the rush for more “content” had diluted the quality of the writing.

    She really paints a picture with words. And the whole picture, too. There’s no “I wonder what she meant here”.
  11. Yoke
    When will anyone hold them accountable? (I hate when people ask this so much)
  12. Yoke
    I agree with Ober to the pen instead of trying to push up his innings limit. Let’s see what he throws when he’s only got to do an inning or two. Probably more fastball velocity, and maybe he lasts an entire season.

    Lots of guys at Serum’s this afternoon are going to mad about this article.
  14. Yoke
    Yeah, but like, zero throwing errors from the shortstop position.

    My wife is giving me $20 to spend on parking at the SCSU women’s hockey game. I’m pretty sure that it’s free. If Carlos accepts, I’m willing to act like the parking really did cost $20, and give him the money. I’ll risk it. I’ve been in trouble before.
  16. Yoke
    Thanks to everyone at Twins Daily for the reports all season. It’s a nice way to be familiar with people when they eventually make it to the Twins. Also, my wife would karate chop me in the larynx if I got milb.tv. Watching more baseball, and with granier picture, probably wouldn’t pass
  17. Yoke
    Absolutely should be up. What do they have to lose?
  18. Yoke
    $20 is just way too much. $10 is pretty much the sweet spot, and that’s after adding the Twins. There’s just nothing on there worth watching besides Twins and Wild games (for me). No point in cancelling cable and getting 10 different streaming services that add up to the same price as cable. I used PS Vue and Sling, but it cost too much for limited content.

    I want to like this more than once.
  20. Yoke
    People are hustling to call “no dibs” on the minor league report writing the next couple days.
  21. Yoke
    They’ve definitely upgraded their pitching today, which is nice to see.
  22. Yoke
    Hate to give up such solid prospects, but you can’t get decent pitchers for free. Miranda doing so well helps, too. Hopefully it pays off. Also, the rotation for next year is lining up to be pretty solid.
  23. Yoke
    I think he’s great for what his role is as a utility fielder. If you can get 3 or 4 years out of him in this role, that’s really solid. Obviously not ideal for a 5th overall pick, but you could do worse than what you’re getting out of him. I don’t think he ever takes anyones starting spot, but he’s going to get in a lot of games at a lot of spots going forward.
  24. Yoke
    It was a dump, but I have so many memories of going to games there that I can’t look at it any other way than fondly. All those days in high school and college when we sat in the cheap seats and had a great time.

    Edit: Bryan made me double post and I don’t know how to fix it.
