    Agreed, in the OP Ted stated that no one on Twins Daily has ever proved, or come up with evidence that center fielders were more prone to injury. If fact evidence was presented that knee injuries in general were much less common in baseball than other sports. As Terry stated an expat Californian living in Texas came upon some ice while walking into his residence, presumably in flip flops, and tore up his knee. In every sport players not only need to learn how to play, they have to learn to protect themselves. Some are better at that than others.

    I looked closer and you're right, not clobbered. How ERA this month is .450 in 11 games, so he isn't doing as well, but the most runs he's given up in an outing are 2 and that was just his last time out. So he has come back to Earth some but not getting clobbered.

    I'm not in a hurry to unload Larnach, I think he has potential. If Gallo is gone and you don't keep a spot for Gordon, then Wallner could be up with Kepler and Larnach could be stashed at St Paul. Still need a good right handed bat.
  4. wabene
    For me it all starts with removing Gallo. Even though I've been ready to move on from Kepler, I can see how his recent play and time logged with the organization has earned him a place till the end of the season. Next I would shop, Gordon, then Larnach. I would keep Wallner. Note to Max, please play with the same energy the rest of the season that you've displayed since the break.

    Cano has been coming back to Earth since mid June and is currently getting clobbered. That may have been a flash in the pan.

    Ain't no free lunch, baby

    Ah **** I should've gotten a Lamborghini instead of my Honda

    A career ERA+ of 105 which is 5% above average. In 2020 and 2021 he was 37% and 25% above average. That is what the Twins were looking at I'm sure. I didn't say I would've traded for him, I just correctly pointed out that twinsfan's statement was incorrect. Edit I misread Mike's comment, so I shouldn't have quoted him.
  9. wabene
    This is simply untrue. He wasn't a workhorse. He wasn't an all-star. He was an established above average major league starter who's home ballpark was very hitter friendly.

    Ryan and a somewhat rested pen tomorrow. Here's hoping for a long start by Ryan.
  11. wabene
    Encouraging to smack around Kirby like that and Pablo was good enough. You can only ride your top pen arms so hard. If the middle of the pen falls flat you are going to lose a couple.

    I'm getting the feeling they think Ober is healthy and young and they are just going to let him roll. They do limit him more to 80-90 pitches than 90-100. I'm very surprised and dismayed with them using pen arms 3 days in a row.
  13. wabene
    Yes well if that is the case my only question is why the hell didn't they just start out that way? It isn't like a two strike approach is a new idea. Lots of W's left stranded in the spring.
  14. wabene
    Good post. I don't, however, think we want to add Pham to the clubhouse. He is an ass.
  15. wabene
    Achem ^^^^^^^^ Edit: Oh I get it these guys all have me blocked, lol.

    Done

    I agree with all of this except J Pez will still be here next year and the Twins will act accordingly. Look at the stuff and then gaze at Pagan for your proof.
  19. wabene
    Last time the Twins worked Luis pretty hard, do it again.
  20. wabene
    Wallner has a track record of hitting either handed pitcher similarly in the minors. In a very small sample he has a 293 OPS in the bigs.
  21. wabene
    Yes he has scuffled the last 2 games with 6 strikeouts and an 0 fer Saturday. He did show some life Sunday with a walk and a hit late. I think they were working him in with breaking balls, hopefully he'll adjust.
  22. wabene
    Jenkins got as lucky as the Twins with the lotto win. He gets to go to a middling organization as opposed to a perennial cellar dweller. I'm very biased
  23. wabene
    I think a long game that looks like it could be a loss is too much for some to take, lol. F'in awesome sweep baby!
  24. wabene
    Nope you are making a lemon out of a fricken big fat W
  25. wabene
    A rookie like Julien has enough on his plate, the plan to only play second makes sense. Kirilloff at first is the right move too. I like that they are prepping Polanco for third and you gotta like Polo's attitude on this (hello, Kepler?). Now when Royce comes back, the dream scenario is Buxton makes his long awaited return as the prodigal center fielder! Short of that things will get interesting.
