  1. Can’t believe we’re behind in the 6th inning…us having already hit one single.
  2. It’s hard to throw that many pitches in 5 innings without giving up a run. Positively Odorizzi-like (on a good day)
  3. One game. Against Detroit. Significantly better off. Still the new bullpen will be significantly challenged…any bullpen would be for a team whose starters go 5 innings or less practically on a daily basis. Theoretically…but only theoretically, adding Mahle will help in that regard. We’ll see.
  4. Not rhetorical, btw. I’m guessing a whole lot of Gordon from here on out. In left (and center probably). Huge opportunity for him…regardless of his future in MN.
  5. Ironically, the OF has been the least of our offensive issues tonight. When Kepler comes back, and if Buxton happens to be available…who’s the ‘every-day’ left fielder against right-handed pitchers?
  6. Gordon quietly turning into a legit…maybe even nice…major league bench piece
  7. It’s getting late early.
  8. Gotta get an APB out for Win. Dick Bremer has hijacked his TD account!!
  9. Yeah. I’m not buying it. Same wrist he was destroying AAA with…and he’s still active. Needs to stop hitting pitcher’s pitches, show some patience, willingness to take a walk. But, that’s just me.
  10. Hoping we keep it close enough for some late-game pinch hitting heroics from Buxton or Kirilloff.
  11. Pretty sound reasoning, in my opinion.
  12. OMG!! A successful sac bunt when the situation screamed for it. A true unicorn.
  13. Had EVERY intention of using Duran for two innings, and then someone talked him off the ledge heading into the 9th. He’s had all these days off sandwiched around a couple of blow outs. He had his mind made up before the game what he was going to do…and by god he did it. Never mind the game as it evolved. He is what he is.
  14. I”ll take Legendary Twins Catchers for 500, Alex. And the answer is…The only Minnesota Twins catcher in the 21st century to win a playoff series.
  15. I think your brain and your fingers work faster than mine
  16. It’s a tricky injury. It gives him trouble in the majors, and doesn’t bother him at all in AAA. Weird.
  17. Sano, what 5, 7 PA into his return and the club has been totally non-competitive for the last couple? Far bigger problems, we already know we won’t see him in the lineup against righties. And what left-handed bat are we pining to see against lefties in Sano’s stead?
  18. Once again…what is the point with Balazovic? To wreck him physically, or wreck him mentally?
  19. …and July, unless they win the SD series. The Twins are 5 games under 500 since May 24…that’s over two months without anything resembling a really solid stretch. Chicago has only picked up 2 games in that stretch…but if, say, the Twins play like this for the NEXT two months, Chicago wouldn’t have to get hot at all to overtake them. And a good 2nd half, of which they SHOULD be capable, would get them close to 5 games up fairly realistically. Of course that won’t happen if the Twins turn things around, even moderately. But I think that will take a move or two at the deadline…moves that actually turn out working.
