    It's never too late for a bat to wake up my friend.

    IDK we now have the young Joe banker scion who seems to like baseball and definitely has the means... we'll see

    This could be debatable but I scratched the interim Rob Anthony, but included one year answer Howard Fox and the do everything man Calvin Griffith. 6 GM's in 62 years. And the over under is 10.33 years.

    Total System Failure. Just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it? That is why they make the big bucks.

    Man I hope the worm has turned on these bats

    True that, good post. Even Kirilloff couldn't resist that change. Nice to see the boys pick up Ryan who grinded out a nice start today.

    Concur sir. As much as young guys like Julien and Wallner sparking the team and MAT hitting bombs, bunts and stealing bases will help, Correa hitting for 100 games like he did last September is the key.

    Yep I think that's right the consensus is the size of the love handles is crucial factor

    I think the record keeper was fired

    Off enough.

    Let's see now you are up to 3 predictions. 1. Under 500 and out of first place by May 1. Nope 2. Under 500 and out of first place by June 1. Nope 3. 3rd place at season's end. Hmmm, things are looking up Twin's fans!

    Yeah I just meant the fun parts, lol. Good point strikeouts are getting old

    Vive la bombe!

    Yes they are going to need more starter depth, no doubt. Maeda could maybe provide that. Falvey said they would ramp him up as a starter, but did hint that by doing so you keep your options open. I'm not sure either Gray or Ober have recent histories of arm trouble. For Gray it was hamstrings and Ober, his groin pull. But yes their disability is in question. I would say outside of Maeda that Headrick would be the next man up. He looked good in his first taste of the bigs and is doing well. He just pitched 7 innings of 2 run ball, but only 4 strikeouts this time.

    Yes I noticed that too. Can't go on a rehab assignment, can't play center. Just getting that special superstar treatment, wait, what?
  16. wabene
    I hope that was consensual, lol.

    Slow as in 2000 & 2001 with Twins Hall of Famer Johan Santana?

    I listened to Randball's podcast introducing the new Twins beat writer for the Strib, Bobby Nightengale Jr. Apparently he has covered the Reds. He said the Reds struggled with trying to get Gray past the 5th inning. Early in his career with the A's, back in 2014 & 2015 he averaged about 6.7 innings a start. By 2019, an excellent season with the Reds, that was down to about 5.6 innings per start. That's about where we sit now. Sonny is solidly built, keeps himself in great shape and the intense competitor knows how to pitch. He is, however, a 33 year old 5' 10" starting pitcher.

    Camargo is fun to watch. I've had my eye on him since Seth's video, I think about a year ago. Tons of personality, this is a guy who could add a spark to any team. The best home run trot in the system.
  20. wabene
    5'8" 245lbs vs 6'4" 235, something's gotta give, lol.

    Lewis 4 for 4 without hitting the ball hard. Guess things do even out. Nice to win one in this fashion after being on the other end of this scenario many times. Duran not only has crazy stuff, the man is clutch. Back to 500, let's get on a roll here.
  22. wabene
    A win is a win. Don't you feel like things have gone the other way, so why go there?
  23. wabene
    Ha ha yep that's over the top. You are missing Farmer, so in your scenario I would swap Farmer for Lee. It's too early to mess with that guy, but the rest of it? Could be fun to watch.

    This is where I'm at. ^^^ Here is Max per the Strib, "There are things we have to work on. There are things we have to be more patient with," said Max Kepler, whose 0-for-2 leaves him with a .189 average for the season. "I think we're going to hit it on the nose in the near future. At least, I really hope we do, because we work [hard] off the field. But it's baseball." But it's baseball? No Max it's bad baseball. This team needs a jolt. As much as it pains me to say, DFA Max today. Bring up Wallner. Jeffers is going well, keep playing him. Buxton and Polo always come off the IL hot because when they are feeling good their considerable skills shine through. If they aren't 100%, react quickly and IL them. Polo is dinged again. IL him and bring up the Frenchman. If Miranda gets hot, find a place for the hot bat. I've watched this team through thick and thin. Even last September I would watch when Ryan or Ober pitched. Let's react more quickly, play the hot bats, get the young guys up. Maybe then I will keep watching.

    The new look Pablo performed well. Very determined outing that bodes well for the future.
