Nice job on the grid fellas!
A 6 is insane, nice job guys!
"We are in the middle of it, so I probably can't do that right now...." 🤣😆👏
Not a single good word about Jose Miranda?? He’s close to .300 BA and has given right handed power to the lineup.
Is he able to stay consistent, that's the question?
@@benjames4502last year that shoulder injury clearly made him fall off. His rookie year he was great and is continuing where he left off from that year.
@@antmj2335 your assuming facts not in record, I do believe the Twins should trade kirilloff over him
Are you guys going to talk about Dex’s first pitch? Need an update… upper 80s at least?
It was 95 down the middle
Actually 55 mph and he said it was outside the strike zone.
The main problem is Baldummi, plain & simple
It's him and upper management micro managing the team
Kirby Puckett played 4 games at 2B in his career.
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
Jax is not a long term solution as a starter, the twins have already been down this road.
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.
The dbacks and Astros have good teams, they're just performing badly. Honestly, this could turn bad quick if they figure it out.
Hopefully by the time we start facing real teams we will an upgraded roster via trades or AAA call ups too
@@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.
@@benjames4502the farm system has a lot of talent right now not sure what you’re on about
@@Spencer1231 talent and having a surplus of tradeable prospects are two different things, stop playing mental gymnastics.
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
Man I hate Twins fans, always something to complain about in comment sections😂
Hope in one hand and crap in the other, which one will fill up first?
Missing Sonny Gray Club
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.
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.
why not throw sinker more? It has just about the same avg speed as his 4 seamer. Does he not have control of it?
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.
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.
‘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 🤣
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.
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…
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
@@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.
No, you’re right. This isn’t supposed to be fun.
Playing the A’s isn’t a pitching adjustment.
Are they a mlb team I think so so he had to do something to change
@@derrickdiethelm6555 playing a team which can be beat by a good minor league team isn't an accomplishment, sorry but not sorry.
When Lopez beats Cleveland. Baltimore, New York, Philadelphia or Los Angeles, then you can celebrate.
Than we can say he's an ace
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.
SWR comments? Seems like a nice piece moving forward
Maybe The Twins should quit making it so easy. I think what I hear you saying about The Twins fans complaining sounds better in The Original German 😉.
Declan gets so visibly upset when he is teased about technology stuff. I think Judd knows this as well 🤣
‘I’m going to be a big Boomer because I don’t know how to turn on my ad blocker.’ Wow, as a card carrying Boomer I’ve known how to do this since I was 60. A little agism there Dec.
Very glad to see ace Lopez to be pitching like Ace Lopez.
I rather trust Kepler then wallner. Because again all he do is strikeout 😅
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.
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.
Pablo Lopez isn't an ace, beating a bad team isn't an adjustment. I remember Kirby Puckett's first game, the Twins ARE NOT a playoff winning team.
