Rockies (Hudson) vs Twins (Paddack): 6/10/24, 6:40pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

A soft portion of the schedule is coming again, time to reel off a bunch of wins...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Soft?

Like soda pop?

[Patzky]

There is nothing softer than fuzzy White Sox.

I see 4 holes in the Twins lineup; Santana .217, Kirilloff .209, Margot .225 and Vazquez .175.

Rockies with two: Toglia .150 and Goodman .167.

Both pitchers with ERA's over 5.

What's that mean?

[Danchat]

It seems the Twins aren't the only team with a fascination for Jake Cave... do they really not have a better player at AAA? He's playing at a sub-replacement level rate.

Not sure but I'm thinking it means reevaluate your definition of a line up hole.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Looking forward to these City Connect uniforms and a chance to connect with the City!

[DocBauer]

Hoping if Margot gets on base Vazquez will bunt him over if there's less than 2 outs. That's something he's usually been capable of doing.

[Patzky]

I hope Willi doesn't get HBP again or he's really gonna flip. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Finally---  Castro at Leadoff , like to see him get a real chance there, Willi is the only player to play in EVERY game this year, Still surprised it has taken Rocco this many games to try him there, Yes im a Traditionalist and of all the players on this Team Willi is to me  is more old school,  Can he adapt, ??  I.D.K. Go Twins !!!

You mean from a crevasse to an open-pit mine?

I think you are arguing two different things; hole vs whole maybe 

[Dave The Dastardly]

So much for the curve ball as a strikeout pitch.

[OvertheHill]

0-2 pitch 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

don’t worry, this is MLB in 2024, 1st and 2nd with no outs doesn’t mean runs anymore

Might want to look at the teams stats for the last 30 days:

[Dave The Dastardly]

Usually means tears. And a glance down to the bull pen.

[Patzky]

[mrtwinsfan]

Cave,   any doubt  =lol

So much for the curveball as a strikeout pitch.  Did I say that already?

Maybe it's more effective as the first pitch and not the final one of an at-bat.

[Patzky]

Jeez this umpire crew again. I remember them from Cleveland..

Whoops! Now they're calling it a slider on Gameday.

Didn't White Castle invent sliders?

[Aggies7]

That’s a heck of a play wow 

[Patzky]

Hudson's making it look simple

[Dave The Dastardly]

This games going to be over in an hour.

HP umpire has missed 2 calls, and one was very borderline, and both benefitted Paddack....
