  1. I don't really buy into the 2001 comps. They were similar at a glance, but the 2001 squad had more glaring weaknesses and their competition was much better (Cleveland was never more than 5 GB). That team went from a peak of 24 games over .500 to ending the season just 8 games over .500. Even when that team was rolling (the first half of the season), their run differential was only +63. They only have two months (April and May) where they outscored their opponents. The 2019 squad has a run differential of +112 in fewer games.
  2. It has been almost impossible to complain about player management this season. Baldelli is doing an outstanding job of making sure these players are in a position to succeed with the rest needed to get through a long season.
  3. He's been doing it for about a month now. He hit his low water mark on May 12th with a .433 OPS. It has been climbing steadily since.
  4. THE TWISN LOST A GAME OMG WHAT WILL COME NEXT I DONT EEVN KNOW BEST TO HIDE MYSEFL IN A BUNKER AND SEE HOW IT ALL PLASY OUT
  5. Yes. He's professional ballplayer and if you actually watched the pregame show, they had a really good bit on how Kyle prepares between games. He's obviously ready, as his regimen appears to be solid and his results show as such. I sometimes oversleep by 15 minutes, skip a full breakfast, and still manage to perform at a high level. It's weird, how humans sometimes don't do the exact same thing every day.
  6. Yes, because attending a religious ceremony at the park is obviously the same thing as leaving the stadium to go have a hotdog at a carnival. Correlation is not causation. Your post says a whole lot about you and virtually nothing about Kyle Gibson.
  7. Wes Johnson is a right shoe first and a bacon and eggs guy. He’s also a devout satanist but I’m not sure that part matters.
  8. Yeah, maybe, but the point stands whether the number is .700, .725, or .750. That plays as a backup catcher or spot start in the field but not as a third baseman.
  9. I hope the organization takes advantage of this opportunity to work on Astudillo's defense behind the plate. If he's going to stick in MLB, it'll be because he's competent behind the plate, IMO. He can be quite valuable as a quirky .750 OPS hitter if he spends most of his time behind the plate. Not so much at third base.
  10. And TIL his name is not pronounced "Eed-ez".
  11. That Kyle Gibson training segment was really interesting. This is not the Twins organization of five years ago, that's for sure.
  12. He needs to play more to gain that title but there is no obvious hole in his approach, which bodes well for the future. But, at least to me, Garver's hitting is secondary to the enormous strides the guy has made behind the plate and he deserves nothing but heaps of praise. That in itself has made Garver one of my new favorite Twins.
  13. Interesting choice and not what I expected. I enjoy that about this front office.
  14. I think it probably had more to do with his .443 OPS over the past month.
  15. The beauty of this answer is "the Twins don't really have a bench". And the front office doesn't get enough credit for making that happen. Through the roster, Baldelli, and various moves, they've created a non-existent "starting nine". They have 12-13 players who fill roles as needed.
  16. Through at least June 14th, the Twins will have gone through the season without either a losing home stand or road trip.
  17. The streak continues. It is June 7th and the Twins have not lost a home stand or road trip.
  18. Even if that play was a blunder, pitch by pitch he is drastically different. And the pitch by pitch framing and consistency matters a lot more than the occasional blunder.
  19. Mitch Garver is a totally different catcher than he was 12 months ago.
