Any chance deGrom is tipping his pitches?

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Awful AB by Schoop. This is a great game for the Twins - but it might be worth mentioning that he doesn't appear to be the player the Twins thought they were getting.

It's early, but with three HR we are having fun. Hope you are enjoying the game too.

Eh.

He's the starting second baseman, why wouldn't he be in the lineup?

Yeah, it's him or Adrianza, and so that's a pretty easy choice.

Just got home, listened to a few pitches in the car, threw something in the oven for supper, sat down to work on the checkbook...UGH...put put the game on just in time to watch BACK TO BACK HR from Rosario and Garver!

 

Twins for the Twins!

 

Yea for the good guys!!

 

With all due respect to Castro, this shows further what Garver is capable of, not to mention Astudillo. No move should be made until it has to happen, but it's stuff like this that makes me feel when a roster crunch hits, it's time to think about youth, potential and the future.

 

Let's go Gibby!

Wow, just when you're wondering where all that thunder came from- against a premier pitcher, no less.

 

Ahhhhh..... Gibby. Thanks for bringing us all back to earth.

I will be surprised if Castro is a still a Twin by the time the deadline rolls around.

You could go Cron-Gonzalez-Polanco-Astudillo around the infield for a game or two, with Schoop not really doing much yet. Just my opinion..

 

And as I type, I think we’ve seen our last game with Astudillo at first.

Hope Rocco hits for Gibby here this time around. He's got nothing left unfortunately.

The weird thing is that his average and power are bad, but his OBP is so much higher than last season that his wRC+ is only a little worse than last year (77 vs 80).

 

If he can play good D and eventually get the bat going by the time one or two other hitters inevitably cool off, then I'm not gonna worry.

 

If the D isn't there and he's still scuffling along with a sub-.300 slugging average at the end of May... then I think I'll be schooped out.
