Dang if Lewis stays healthy this kid could be top 5 all time Twin. I get the same early sense on his potential greatness that I got for Edwards on the Wolves.
Two incredible athletes that want to be the best.



Buxton could have been the same.


Lewis is so Uber talented, that only injury can deter his greatness.

Is Lewis now the best hitter in baseball?

Tough to make the throw with both hands around your throat.

I was at both the Tuesday and Wednesday night games.

Staumont pitched the ugliest scoreless inning in the history of baseball. We deserved to win that game just for that.

I didn't understand not pinch-hitting Jeffers for Vazquez with the winning run (Buxton) on base. Also, with 2 outs, Buxton should have at least tried to steal 2nd.

what does this response have to do with my question?

Because although Lewis hit another HR, he also made the game-blowing bad throw on a routine play in the 10th inning.

That's his defense. It has nothing to do with my question. I'm going to answer my own question. YES.

Twins pen sucks.
SWR pitched well




twinsfan -> RE: Twins 2024 Season and Game Day Thread (6/20/2024 3:01:59 PM)

Jay Jackson, reliable reliever.




twinsfan -> RE: Twins 2024 Season and Game Day Thread (6/20/2024 3:26:32 PM)

Royce costs us 2 games in a row. [X(][X(]

It was no worse than Correa's flub on the stolen base that led to the tying run.

Kepler

smh

what are some of these guys thinking?

Rocco pregame talked about keeping guys fresh and not playing every game
asks morneau how many he played

"163"

Was mvp runner up
Take that fail mind and body manager. SSSSSSOOOOFFFFTTT

Larnach hitting 215 or so past 30 games
Jeffers 150
Vazquez under 200

Scraping by bad teams, losing a series to a mediocre Rays team

no wonder they're awful against winning record teams.

Simple...leave their next most dominant hitter in the Minors (Lee) and you can even add Severino and also pitcher (Festa) while letting guys like Farmer, Margot, Jackson, and Santana play even though they aren't the future and barely the present.

Say bye bye to Jackson and welcome back Funderburk

Hard to say much about Lewis injuries as he produces when he is playing.....Kepler and Buck take so long to rev up and then when they are hot for a week they get hurt again.

LOTS of empty Buxton at bats this year

Pretty replaceable at this point.

Pablo has been a problem. Can't compete against the better teams.

Actually Houston is about the only team Pablo pitches well against right now.

There is definitely something wrong with Lopez.

This team needs some serious bullpen help. Tired of waking up in the morning to see another lead blown and a loss.

Agree, Thie team needs a lot of things involving pitching.
On the positive side Royce Lewis is worth the price of admission. This kid has all the potential to be as good as most any Twin ever. He is
humble and mature and absolutely loves the game.

We just need to hope he's the rare case of a very injury-prone player becoming more durable as he ages.

And again I say Falvine should be fired for this. Falvey was supposed to turn the organization into a pitching factory and failed miserably.

Twins wi. 10-2. Ober with a complete game. [:-]

His iPad froze and he didn't know what to do.

Wow! 11 1/3 perfect innings from Ober to Pablo today...a franchise record. How can they even figure this stuff out?




twinsfan -> RE: Twins 2024 Season and Game Day Thread (6/23/2024 5:22:02 PM)

Provus is very timely. I was just about to Google "last time Twins had back-to-back complete games." Within 3 seconds of my thought, Provus said 2005 Joe Mays and Carlos Silva.




bstinger -> RE: Twins 2024 Season and Game Day Thread (6/24/2024 10:08:07 AM)

I think the key thing here is that Oakland isn't that good.
