Mike Sixel Old-Timey Member Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 This line of thinking has always seemed silly to me. I imagine the players are taking this rough stretch a bit harder than we are as fans.It was sarcasm, aimed at the dozens here who seem to think they don't care....
MMMordabito Verified Member Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 Wish I had him in fantasy baseball.
Brock Beauchamp Site Manager Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 Mike Trout has an 85% success rate on stolen bases in his career? Yikes. That guy is simply amazing at everything.
twinbythebay Verified Member Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 It was sarcasm, aimed at the dozens here who seem to think they don't care....My mistake, all this negativity around here has my sarcasm detector on the fritz. Carry on... *hat tip*
Original_JB Verified Member Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 Buxton wrapping and restrapping his sliding glove with each pitch....
Cap'n Piranha Verified Member Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 Mike Trout has an 85% success rate on stolen bases in his career? Yikes. That guy is simply amazing at everything. I would imagine he's not great at pitching.
MNT1996 Verified Member Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 Mike Trout has an 85% success rate on stolen bases in his career? Yikes. That guy is simply amazing at everything. Except hitting in the playoffs
Brock Beauchamp Site Manager Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 Except hitting in the playoffsHe has all of 15 career postseason PAs because the Angels front office is incompetent and can't build a playoff team despite Trout gifting them ten wins every season.
LVTwinsfan Verified Member Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 Except hitting in the playoffsNo one or no team can even come close to the Twins futility in the playoffs
Brock Beauchamp Site Manager Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 I would imagine he's not great at pitching.Actually, I think he can ratchet it up to the mid 90s. He has a very good arm.
Puckett34 Verified Member Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 Actually, I think he can ratchet it up to the mid 90s. He has a very good arm.From his Wikipedia page: "In his high school days, Buxton was given the nickname "Buck". As a pitcher during his senior year, he had a 10–1 win–loss record with a 1.90 earned run average and 154 strikeouts in 81 innings pitched. Buxton also threw a fastball that was recorded at 99 miles per hour (159 km/h).
wsnydes Old-Timey Member Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 It has to be very awkward to broadcast a game remotely from three separate locations. Glad that I'm not listening...
sampleSizeOfOne Verified Member Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 Garver strikes out for the 2nd time today on 3 pitches. Guy's such a detriment.2Ks, 3 pitches? That's 1.5 pitches per K. Now that is talent!
MMMordabito Verified Member Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 Solid start from Happ .... I'm guessing we might have a Dobber sighting
USAFChief Twins Daily Contributor Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 I'd let Happ start the 7th, remove if necessary during the inning.
wsnydes Old-Timey Member Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 I'd let Happ start the 7th, remove if necessary during the inning.Definitely. Ride the veteran as long as you can. He's done well with the lead today. Pretty efficient.
LVTwinsfan Verified Member Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 2Ks, 3 pitches? That's 1.5 pitches per K. Now that is talent!He said it right, your misunderstanding doesn’t make him wrong
sampleSizeOfOne Verified Member Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 And Polanco is a croquet player, threading two wickets(!). (been some time since i played...)
ashbury Verified Member Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 Definitely. Ride the veteran as long as you can.Always work the rented mule like a rented mule.
MMMordabito Verified Member Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 Mitch coming out of slump with a bang?
bighat Verified Member Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 Holy geez Garver. Twins now have a 50/50 shot of winning here. C'mon bullpen, bend but don't break.
Vanimal46 Old-Timey Member Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 As Jim Thome would say, the best way to get out of a slump is hitting the ball.
MNT1996 Verified Member Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 See Rocco, putting Colome in a game like this would be considered low-leverage.
USAFChief Twins Daily Contributor Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 Sorry, Mill1634. He got that on a FB, but now it's TWO dingers, not "a" home run. So, long story short, you don't get credit for calling THAT either. Tough break.
Marek Houston Wichita Wind Surge - AA SS On Saturday, Houston went 3-for-5 and scored two runs. After a short slump, he is now back over .290 on the season. Explore Marek Houston News >
