Not a single good word about Jose Miranda?? He’s close to .300 BA and has given right handed power to the lineup.

@benjames4502 Месяц назад

Is he able to stay consistent, that's the question?

14 of the Twins’ next 17 games are against teams below .500. They are 9 games behind the Guardians in the loss column. They better make hay against the DBacks, Tigers, Astros and White Sox because after the All Star break the schedule gets real.

@benjames4502 Месяц назад

The dbacks and Astros have good teams, they're just performing badly. Honestly, this could turn bad quick if they figure it out.

@christianaugustine9490 Месяц назад

Hopefully by the time we start facing real teams we will an upgraded roster via trades or AAA call ups too

@benjames4502 Месяц назад

@@christianaugustine9490 honestly, after the last couple of years in bad trades the Twins don't have much for substance in trade bait for difference makers without hurting the future. The team should punt on this year and put up Kepler, kirilloff and Ober on the trade block at the trade deadline, then put up Julien for trade this winter if he improves and eat Vasquez's contract for prospects. Then the organization should move Martin back to second and train Lee for first base which would cement the infield for '25, next year we have more prospects coming up which would mean our biggest holes would be left field and bench players. The Twins would be a better team next year, also replenishing the farm system.

Can we please default the vibes to unproven until they win a couple games against quality opponents? The overreaction to a couple wins against garbage teams is getting out of hand.

@joshuaboyko9615 Месяц назад

Pablo's breaking ball looked different for sure, curveball instead of sweeper. Kept that pitch down more than the sweeper that hitters saw in the zone. Good adjustment and hope that works going forward

@williamyoungs5541 Месяц назад

They have won 2 games all season against a top 8 team in both leagues overall. One against the Brewers and one against the Dodgers. Total they are 2-18. I’ll buy in to the long shot that they might make and win a playoff series if and when they win even 1 of the remaining series against Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Atlanta, Cleveland or Baltimore.

@benjames4502 Месяц назад

As it sits now, the Twins will either play Baltimore or New York in the first round, the team doesn't stand a chance this year the way they're constructed.

@markreese6693 Месяц назад

Wow talk about overly optimistic. One game a sample size does not make. If he can pitch this way consistently then we can surmise he made the necessary adjustments but most of us are cautiously optimistic.

@purplereignCO Месяц назад

Fair take, but I will say his fastball had best life on it that’s it’s had all season. And it’s a more or less daily show, so recency bias is pretty forgivable. I’m ok getting excited about Pablo improving from here, and to your point, we shall see what happens…

@bigjerm9836 Месяц назад

But he was perfect through 6 innings, this wasn't a oh he only gave up a couple hits no this was a ace type of performance

@markreese6693 Месяц назад

@@bigjerm9836 well let’s see what he looks like down the road. It’s better to be cautious and yell out all is well. If it’s mid July and he’s still pitching well then problem solved. One game is not much of a sample size. It’s better to be cautious as a fan and let’s wait and see for a larger sample size. I liked your comment because it was a fair take and he pitched well. I hope you are right because we have some issues in our starting pitching.

@@bigjerm9836saying you have ace ability against the A's is not the same as saying it against a winning team, sorry but not sorry.

@edwardcorey1071 Месяц назад

All i can say is im not sure jax throws 96-99mph fasteball as a starter when he started he tops at 94 at the highest not saying he cant adjust to starting like hes throwing in bullpen

@benjames4502 Месяц назад

Jax is not a long term solution as a starter, the twins have already been down this road.

@Razorbacks1 Месяц назад

‘This looks like old Buxton the last 2 weeks.’ Let’s see, 7 games against the A’s, 3 games against the Rockies, 3 games against the Pirates with no Paul Skenes. Worst pitching staffs in baseball. C’mon Phil 🤣

@theallinamerican Месяц назад

why not throw sinker more? It has just about the same avg speed as his 4 seamer. Does he not have control of it?

@benjames4502 Месяц назад

Honestly, he should be taught how to throw a split finger or forkball, the downward action is the same as a changeup so they won't be able to just sit on his fastballs.

@AZCJA Месяц назад

Playing the A’s isn’t a pitching adjustment.

I don't know how to spell it phonetically, but Phil never pronounces Nap Lajoie's name correctly. It's not "Lajoy". More like "La-ja-way", with a soft J.

@tilyt Месяц назад

The focus on Pablo's sweeper makes sense. Visually he still presents as a premier starter in the league in terms of movement, location, and command... but he's gotten hit hard until yesterday's start. In other words, I believe that if he figures out the sweeper, he will beat any team and not just Oakland.

@benjames4502 Месяц назад

His sweeper, curve and change up principally come in at the same speed and eye level, honestly he needs to drop one and learn a split finger or hard slider.
