denarded Verified Member Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Here's my idea: Leave Gibson in into the 6th. Let him suffer when he's hitting 125 pitches. Don't penalize a weak bullpen coming off11 IP last night. Let them get some rest. I'd rather lose a game than gas out a pen that could take a few days to heal. Or bring in Poppen now. 3 runs isn't going to win this game
twinssporto Verified Member Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 When you can’t bear down and get freaking Brock Holt and Bradley Jr. out when you’re fresh in the second inning....it’s over.Don't abandon ship just yet. We still have 8 whole innings to hit. Geez, watched 17innings last night and we came through. Unless your playing the ol' reverse psychology..

70charger Verified Member Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Hearing Dick Bremer say the name "Arraez" is both hilarious and irritating.
nicksaviking Community Moderator Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 That's fine, I'll just be a good little soldier and not voice opinions.Just try more than one. Repeatedly.

LaBombo Verified Member Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Bremer noting there have been six or seven long fly outs in the series that carried to the track. He couldn't quite bring himself to admit that "So far in this series there must have been at least six or seven routine fly balls that I totally false alarmed as potential home runs"
jud6312 Verified Member Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Thought Castro did it..... Dick's response led me to believe it was in the upper deck.

Unless your playing the ol' reverse psychology..Just watched Gibson enough to know when he has it when he doesn’t. Don’t think our offense is playing particularly well right now. Our defense in general has been sub-par lately. We have Cave, Arraez, and Astudillo playing up the middle. It’s just an observation that I don’t feel great about it. Anyone being honest would say the same. Honestly, I expected a sweep (see 2nd game thread pre-game) so we’re already in the bonus. Not an attempt at trolling. We’re not going to win them all, and Boston is a better team right now with our injuries. We need Buxton back. Nobody’s abandoning ship.

Maybe this is just repayment for a few that eeked over the wall earlier in the year.

bighat Verified Member Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Do Twins hitters think when they're down 0-2 the pitcher's going to throw them a strike? I don't get these 0-2 swings when over the past 100+ years of this game pitchers historically never do that.

Maybe this is just repayment for a few that eeked over the wall earlier in the year. Don't forget, Mauer, Morneau, and Kubel basically said it's virtually impossible for lefties to hit a HR in Target Field. Maybe this first half has been a crazy anomaly.
LaBombo Verified Member Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Why's Max covering Willians' territory? #LetTheKidsPlay The heads of the Five Families make all the decisions about who controls which territories. Personally, I think Barzini has it in for Astudillo, but you didn't hear that from me.
bighat Verified Member Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Good eye Sano, nice walk. Credit where it's due.
70charger Verified Member Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 I love Arraez's animation in the box.
