    Nice game rookie!

    God has spoken, three times!

    Those are all the at bats anyone is willing to give him.

    Sonny Gray was gutsy and battled his tail off, but he did leave the team in a position that was all too familiar last year. The answer was a long man to save the big guns for later. The problem was it was a tight game and the long guy was a rookie who hadn't played yet. Make all the plays that were there and they still would've won this ugly game.

    True, very true, my friend.

    No I'm not projecting anything. It is your dire projection I'm pushing back on. "He is what he is until he ain't" Which is he, the injured guy who's stats you quoted or the guy blowing up AAA that Jocko mentioned? I don't know, but neither do you.

    808 vs 797, so you are right. Those numbers are both pretty good. Here are some more stats for ya. Career WAR Sano 7.6, Gallo 14.8. Joey Gallo was not my pick in free agency. He has looked tenfold better than Sano did the last time he tried to come back. So since he is here I will try to give him the benefit of the doubt and root for this new Twin. Seems like a good dude and is a good athlete.

    Maybe I'm reaching here because of his comments last year about how he might have chosen the wrong career, but Max just doesn't seem to enjoy his job much anymore. Yes I think he could've made a much better effort on that play.

    The answer your looking for is 56 innings pitched last year. You gotta think when they do call him up they will let him run. If they pitch him like last year and limit the innings that will be disappointing and effect the bullpen as you mention.

    Now this is a more reasonable take that I agree with. Your right he was pinch hit for against a lefty. He does have pretty flat platoon splits though.

    Gallo had a 5 year stretch where he OPS'd over 800 in 3 of those years and over 900 in another. He is capable of a good year. You do realize that, right?
  12. wabene
    Projects? You are going to project his performance based on stats from when he was playing through an injury that required surgery? Did you take into account his pedigree and performance in the minors when healthy? Yes I agree we don't know what prime Kiriloff will be but if he does get his wrist strong he could be a player. Time will tell, there is no sense in dire predictions.

    Kepler doesn't love baseball.
  14. wabene
    Tough game, tough to watch. Man it just doesn't seem like Kepler is all in. I didn't like Moran with a runner on already. Yes he did get a tough beat with the strikeout, but he can't find the plate enough for this situation. The other choices were Pagan or Alcala. Not ideal

    Enjoying the smooth vocal stylings of LaTroy. The quiet moments, listening to the sounds of the ballpark.

    It's the Yankees, it's fun to accuse them of anything
  17. wabene
    He is a very serious and deliberate young man.
  18. wabene
    You are correct, sort of. We lost, what I think 1.5 years of control? The guy loves Houston, the GIANT suburb. Chances are he wouldn't have signed here. Cele and Alcala have underwhelmed so far. Hard to say IMO. Edit: correction, I think we traded one half of a year of control. We traded him in his 6th MLB season. So I guess I would say you are mostly incorrect. He was not the guy he became in Houston for us. There is no way to know we would have made him that guy. He was not signing here, but he keeps signing 2 year deals to play in his hometown. I'll bet the Twins tried to extend him, he said no, they traded him. This deal did work very well for Houston, however.

    Hilarious
  20. wabene
    Wow that's nuts. This year he really needs to prove he can hold up.
  21. wabene
    Alcala🤩Lol
  22. wabene
    The season stats in parentheses is a winner.
  23. wabene
    Dan Hayes said in the comments of his article on this signing that he's heard that Gray wants to test free agency. That could change with a great experience here this year, but my guess is the qualifying offer for him.
