  1. Or maybe it's Drunken Kung-Fu, lulling opponents into a false sense of security and/or confusion.
  2. Twins Daily is going to get whiplash if people keep jumping on and off the Meyer bandwagon with such vigor. But I agree that he should get another chance to start. I don't really understand anything that's happening this season. It all seems so haphazard.
  3. Stuart's start is promising but he's not the type of guy you rush to the majors... You let that guy simmer and see if he's for real, then you promote and cross your fingers.
  4. Actually, Garza struggled for nine starts in his rookie season and then went on to post a solid half-season the following year. Then he was traded.
  5. It wasn't necessarily a *bad* move but it was certainly questionable. Mauer has a higher chance of moderate success in that situation (walk, single) but Sano has the higher chance of "you just lost the game because I hit the ball 600 feet" success. It was a dicey move to pitch to either guy but I would have probably taken my chances with Mauer driving in a run or two over Sano possibly driving in 3-4 runs (can't remember if the bases were juiced or whether two guys were on base).
  6. He's so smart. He knows baseball. Yet... Yet... Damn, I just don't get it.
  7. Sano has a higher OPS than Mauer over the past 14 days but okay.
  8. Intentionally walking Joe Mauer to face Sano. Tis a strange world we live in, this 2016.
  9. You can't repromote a player for 14 days... Though there may be an injury exception, I can't recall.
  10. That's the direction I'm leaning as well. I hoped Milone would be offloaded last winter but oh well, that didn't happen.
  11. Is Milone out of options? I think he is but with so many Twins players out of options this season, I lost track.
  12. How is using your best relievers in a tie game at home bad managing? That's not only common practice, it's common sense. Get the outs, try to win in the bottom of the inning. At home, you work the pen backwards from the ninth inning onward.
  13. If Joe wins another batting title, he's a lock. If Joe has 2-3 more .300 batting average seasons, he's a lock. Right now, he's a maybe.
  14. Kohl Stewart pitched 129 innings last season. At his current rate, he's going to pass last season's strikeout total at the 50 inning mark.
  15. The Twins are really good at putting pressure on Brewer pitching. Unfortunately, it seems to stop there.
  16. Why does it matter? Season over. Pathetic.
  17. Actually, that slogan really works for me. Champagne tastes like bubbly ass water. Miller High Life tastes like bubbly ass water. Scotch is good. So is bourbon. That is all.
  18. Yeah, he's not what I expected at all. I expected more of a dead-pull swing-from-his-heels hitter who walked a lot in KBO because pitchers were terrified of him. That hasn't been the case. He has a pretty good eye, especially considering how he has only faced MLB pitching in games that matter ~50 times.
  19. I don't think it will be that surprising if his strikeouts decline in time. What *has* surprised me is Park's relatively polished approach at the plate but now that I've seen him take his hacks, I think it's entirely possible he adjusts his approach to better suit a more advanced league. The guy could get away with a ton of strikeouts in Korea because he routinely teed off on the inferior pitching in that league... But MLB is a different animal. It wouldn't surprise me to see Park sacrifice a bit of power for more contact and a more disciplined approach to compensate facing the best pitching in the world.
  20. I have no problems calling up a young player for a week or two to ride the bench... But if it's going to extend toward a month or more, then another option should be explored (if possible).
  21. Thanks. I thought OBP had a stronger correlation but for some reason, I was doubting myself after the earlier comment.
  22. Counsell brings in a right to face Arcia. Legit strategy.
  23. I didn't realize baseball teams were allowed to score this many runs in a single game.
