    #1 way to avoid K’s…swing early and often. Usually doesn’t help runs scored, but holds down the K numbers.
  2. jkcarew
    No. And leave us alone!

    Rocco squeezing every last drop out of that roster spot he gave Camargo.
  4. jkcarew
    With Brooks Lee due back in a couple of weeks? Supposedly. Interesting.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    When it comes to the 9 hole, we have a ton of options.
  9. jkcarew
    And guys not on base. Just struggling a bit in those two situations.
  10. jkcarew
    I’m on board…as long as ‘here’ is St. Paul.
  11. jkcarew
    Not to mention…the pitching 😜
  12. jkcarew
    Smooth.
  13. jkcarew
    Or… go to the bottom of the bullpen…same either way
  14. jkcarew
    One school of thought would be to let Varland continue until his arm falls off at this point.
  15. jkcarew
    Not sure about the movement part. Gets squared up at an alarming rate.
  16. jkcarew
    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.

    Buxton got a hanging slider on the 3rd pitch and misses it. Story of his season so far.
  18. jkcarew
    Meh…he’s no Don Mossi
  19. jkcarew
    Apparently he’s here for the singular purpose of ‘being able’ to DH the catchers.
  20. jkcarew
    I wish Vasquez would strike out more.
  21. jkcarew
    But against this team? Really hard to give up 4 runs in one inning to this club. What I don’t get is why Rocco went Stewart, Thielbar…instead of Thielbar, Stewart. The first two guys Stewart faced were lefties. Basically, can’t pitch pitch Thielbar against right-handlers except in the very lowest of leverage.
  22. jkcarew
    It’s hard to believe you can lose when one of your 12 players played so well.
  23. jkcarew
    Can’t be. ‘Cause, I’ve read a dozen articles here that establish him as one of the reasons the Twins will have the best bullpen in baseball.
  24. jkcarew
    The only way you can even reach that pitch is by know exactly what the pitch is going to be.
  25. jkcarew
    Bailed out by a couple of icky at-bats.
