Terrin’s dad, Joe Vavra, was the long time hitting coach and bench coach with the Twins from 2005-2017. 
 

The Twins hitting performances and approach during that run were outstanding overall. 
 

Terrin’s knowledge of hitting has been built in lots of ways 

I do love the anecdote that Terrin set balls on the tee for Joe Mauer.    That's good middle school opportunity right there.

I'm actively considering if Mini-Mauer works as a nickname watching his early weeks in the show.

I'm a fan and Vavra needs to be starting more with Odor getting benched.

The AB he had with two outs in the bottom of the 9th in Sunday’s loss in Cincinnati was the most impressive.  All the pitches he took were close to being strikes, and he fought off a couple of very na

Get on before you can't catch up! Very patient on Tuesday night with a line drive single to left and 3 other patient PAs where he worked a BB.  I know they want a LHB in the 8 spot so they don't

Mauer without power?

So, question about today's game. Game thread chatter was saying the infield wasn't shifting the way they had been all season. If they had been shifting as they have with Urias at 3B and Odor at 2B, would that string of grounders in the 5th been minimized by a hit or two? 

I was at the game and pretty close to the action down the right field line. I don't think that defensive arrangement would have changed anything. The grounders found holes for the most part. There was one Vavra dove for and missed, but you'd pretty much have to be a gold glove 2B to make that play.

The one that bounced to Odor and the runner beat the throw, Urias wouldn't have had either. Machado probably makes that play though

The stat geek nerds don't like him. Go figure. Those "fans" are always miserable. Hello, we are one game out from a playoff spot. You play to win baseball games. Vavra is hot and getting on base. The nerds can suck it. Play him and ride the hot bat. It's called winning the baseball game.

This is not how we operate here. We treat everyone with respect. You are new so I'll just give you a warning, but this is not Facebook or the wild wild west of Twitter. Please be more respectful in your posts here.

I think the 2 grounders to RF would have been fielded by Odor because he would have been playing the shift where's he's in shallow RF. I was the one who posted questioning whether they were playing a different shift with Vavra at 2B versus Odor.

I think he was banned yesterday or at least given a timeout for a derogatory term he posted in the game thread. :D

The shift looked pretty much the same to me. Vavra might have been a bit shallower

      I imagine the goal is to get him available to just give them anything out of the pen in the wild card round. Depending on how that goes and if the O’s can advance who knows.

      A look ahead to the 2025 payroll

      By wildcard · Posted

      The interesting thing about 1B is Mayo.     Elias keeps pushing Mayo at 3B.   But if Westburg is healthy he is better at 3B.   And they don't seem to play Mayo has much as they could at 1B where he might have a better chance at a regular job.    DH might be his best position. If Santander leaves, then Kjerstad probably gets an every day spot at RF.   Elias might want to see Kjerstad hit well in RF before he hands over 2B to Holliday.   Too many struggling rookies at the same time is not good for wins.   Mayo is  behind Kjerstad and Holliday IMO in getting a lot of playing time. However, developing Kjerstad, Holliday and Mayo  are key parts of the O's future no  matter how Elias develops them.

      Walker is definitely an upgrade over Mountcastle.  Walker has cleared an .800 OPS the past three seasons.  Mountcastle has only done it once -- his rookie year.  Plus Mountcastle hasn't even cleared 20 homers since 2022.  Mountcastle is good in a platoon, used against lefties, but otherwise he's fallen off. Walker is 33, which is a bit of a risk, but which makes me think he could be had on a short term deal.  That said I think the O's will have competition for Walker.  He's one of the most underrated bats in the league.   If the O's think Kjerstad can play 1B then I think they should maybe go with him and look for a new RF (unless they bring back Santander, which seems more unlikely now).  But I don't know about Kjerstad's glove there. Mayo's glove at 1B may be even more questionable than Kjerstad's.  Plus Mayo just hasn't shown he's ready with his bat yet.  I'm against assuming guys will figure out how to hit MLB pitching within a presumed timeframe.  Mayo hasn't shown he's there yet.  Let him work his way into the lineup rather than giving him a starting job.  But with him there's also the issue of where his defense plays best, or if it plays anywhere.

      So either Grayson won’t face hitters this year (ie he’s done for the year) or he’s in the pen.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      I feel better after getting a W against the Giants; somewhere along the way I had stated I felt we almost had to get at least one from them, and now we have.  However, lets not act like this one win means the offense has broken its slump and we're suddenly going to start rolling.  I hope we do, but we're one bad game away from feeling like we'll never score a run again.  If we go down 3-0 or something early tonight, it will be hard to resist the doomsday feeling - we're just as likely to get one-hit or something stupid like that tonight as we are to score 5 or 6 runs.  Its a tough schedule to finish the season, tougher than maybe we would have thought with Detroit playing so well.  Still not counting my chickens but yeah that W yesterday changed the calculus a good bit in our favor.

      Update: As expected, the corresponding move for Coulombe is Burch Smith, but he's going on the IL instead of being DFA'd. Right adductor/groin strain.
