  1. One fly ball moved the runner over. Other fly ball scored the runner. Almost definition of manufacturing a run.
  2. Did the Natives just manufacture a run? Geez, it's almost like they're the best team in baseball...
  3. I'll take that responsibility. How many times has he come up big? Dude is an black hole with runners on. And he's starting taking his stupid shin guard off like a fricken a'hole right in front of the plate lately. Bozo.
  4. Our beloved Twinkies are going to find a way to persevere here! Mauer, Polanco, Rosario; that's a run!
  5. Zero faith when he comes up in a big spot.
  6. Dozier sucks. Absolutely terrible.
  7. Hopefully he makes contact here.
  8. Turned out to be a pretty good game, all things considered.
  9. True, but still, two at bats with a total of four pitches? Pretty poor.
  10. 1 run is better than 0 runs, right?
  11. That might have been the game right there. Terrible f'in hitting.
  12. Esco should have had the bunt sign on. Assuming he gets it down; runner on third. No double play right there. At least one more at-bat.
  13. Boys need to score a couple runs this inning.
  14. At least the Twins are taking good at-bats. There should have been no reason that Big Fat started tonight. No reason.
  15. Vargas had an ops+ of 122 last year. I wasn't necessarily comparing them as a player, more so how the organization has handled him. David was actually given a shot to play. Never will forget the home run he hit with a broken wrist. Extremely dumb move that the organization made; maybe the worst move they've ever made.
  16. David Ortiz 2.0? In terms of how the organization has treated him and the potential he may offer to another team? I disagree with the poster previously who said that Vargas has had a fair shot at securing a full time position on the team. This year he has had the most at-bats in a season during his career; two of his four years in the majors had less than 200 at bats. He has been shipped back and forth to Rochester countless times; can't be easy to keep a swing "healthy" while moving back and forth. Not too mention when he is on the team, he is given one or two starts a week. I just don't think he's been given a fair shot at all to have a chance to claim the DH role. If I were him, I'd be pretty pissed with the situation and how I have been handled. I guess he's still making money, but I feel his treatment has been pretty poor by the front office. Does Grossman really add that much more value to the team than Kennys? I wonder what they could net in a trade; obviously in a package. Both strike out. Grossman can take a walk. Vargas has more power. Grossman is gross in the OF and can't play 1b. Vargas is not a terrible 1b. Grossman is faster. Can we combine the two?
  17. Eddie the Stick! He may not be an everyday player, but he sure has been coming up big with his play the last month.
  18. As poor as the Twins have played this game, they have been in it.
  19. At least the Twins have him for two more years...
  20. Could have rotated Adrianza and Esco at 2nd. Leadoff hitter is a little overrated, in my opinion. There are many leadoff hitters in a game, not just the 1st inning.
  21. I'd bat Mauer leadoff, as many have said here before. And I would have played Escobar at 2nd this season.
  22. Not beating quality teams is why they have no chance.
  23. That's fine. I would have traded him this offseason. I have zero faith in him when runners are on base. He swings at crappy pitches at almost the same rate as Rosario. He plays good defense and hits dingers (with no one on base) but he takes A TON of really piss poor at bats.
  24. I may be in the minority, but I dislike Dozier. Man, he is just a bummer at the plate. I don't really care about his home runs. Not clutch at all, tries to pull everything, and just a bit overrated.
