  1. It will definitely get better…but by enough and soon enough to matter? I’m still fairly optimistic there will be some decent-to-good baseball to watch later in the season. Less sure it will be within the context of a playoff push.
  2. No. In hindsight, there was probably a better argument for it if they had made such a decision early in the offseason…when they decided they weren’t going after anyone to replace Gray (or Maeda). Tough to do in-season as you have to replace the bullpen innings lost, at the same time you’re probably giving up starter innings as you ramp the guy up.
  3. Buxton simply continues to show up for the Twins in every way possible to start the year. Ok…now you’re just trolling us.
  4. Orioles look bored.
  5. Rocco still not sure he can trust Camargo as this nail-bitter heads to the later innings.
  6. It’s a miracle.
  7. Thank god for the earlier mound visit…or this could have been a big inning.
  8. Yes…although, good is a relative term. Many teams are good relative to the Twins right now. Oakland is playing much better than the Twins, as well.
  9. #1 way to avoid K’s…swing early and often. Usually doesn’t help runs scored, but holds down the K numbers.
  10. No. And leave us alone!
  11. Rocco squeezing every last drop out of that roster spot he gave Camargo.
  12. With Brooks Lee due back in a couple of weeks? Supposedly. Interesting.
  13. Gotta be an XL conspiracy theorist to come up with manipulating Alcala’s service time. We’re talking about a guy who’s been hurt forever and hasn’t even proved he has value yet. And turns 29 in a couple of months. Weird response from Rocco…but, they’re resting him. Kind of a desperate move…not willing to be a guy short for a couple of games. Then again, when you’re losing frequently, and you’re trying to win while scoring 2 or 3 runs…you do desperate things.
  14. Probably the best 9-inning showing by the offense in a while. Sadly. 11 hits, 5 XBH, ‘only’ 9 K’s. But still only 4 runs…and never really in the game.
  15. Probably more about maximizing the number of companies from which you can collect sponsorship money. If we gave them the hot dog gig as well, chances are we can’t afford guys like Santana.
  16. When it comes to the 9 hole, we have a ton of options.
  17. And guys not on base. Just struggling a bit in those two situations.
  18. I’m on board…as long as ‘here’ is St. Paul.
  19. Or… go to the bottom of the bullpen…same either way
  20. One school of thought would be to let Varland continue until his arm falls off at this point.
  21. Not sure about the movement part. Gets squared up at an alarming rate.
  22. I don’t expect him to be a great hitter…but I do expect him to do damage on that pitch. He’s been a very good cripple masher in the past. But, it’s been a while now.
