    The bats kind of imploded as well. Very few balls put in play…and the only reason they had the big lead is that early in the game, literally everything they did put in play has a hit, XBH, or HR. Horrible loss in that it was potentially a huge momentum-breaker. Hope not.

    Robertson. Needle-mover or nothing please…we have “depth”.
  3. jkcarew
    Is Lewis coming back? If yes… Will Candelario be free? And will he come with an active roster exemption?

    btw, there’s no truth to the rumor that the league tried to take Córdova’s trophy back a couple of years later. None. ok, they might have tried.
  5. jkcarew
    True. But my point would be don’t get any more of that type just to add to average-ish depth. Get a needle mover, or don’t bother. Having said that…if you CAN’T count on Thielbar…you have to get another lefty, period.

    Pagan only gave up the one hit and retired 3 out of 4… What did I miss?…plus…someone said the would be no math!
  7. jkcarew
    I’ve got nothing.
  8. jkcarew
    Two walks up by 4 with 6 outs to go…harder to forgive than the HR for me.
  9. jkcarew
    That inning is on Moran, not Pagan.
  10. jkcarew
    Yep…not even close.

    Seattle is a lot like the Twins, IMO. I like their starters, not as much their bullpen…and their lineup has some guys, but they haven’t produced consistently…and K a lot. I suspect that the 3 game difference in the records could be easily different if they played the same schedules.
  12. jkcarew
    I still say this is a don’t buy year…unless you can make a splash. The Twins roster is jamb packed with guys that are ‘decent’ or ‘talented, but inconsistent’. Even St Paul has some. Don’t need any more. You’re keeping Gray, you’re keeping Kepler. Lewis and Polanco are coming back. I like the Idea of a right handed corner outfielder for the postseason. But even that isn’t needed to get there. Meanwhile Thielbar and Stewart should be healthy soon. A real difference maker for the bullpen…sure. But only that.
  13. jkcarew
    The delay was puzzling…especially in light of what he signed for.
  14. jkcarew
    I hate the idea of buying…especially this year…just for the sake of showing everyone “you did something”. Make a splash or don’t do anything.
  15. jkcarew
    Gotta think bigger picture… Rick Dempsey for Danny Walton. Graig Nettles (and Dean Chance…who only had one good year left, plus two others), for one year of Luis Tiant, and Stan Williams. And they outright released Jim Kaat and effectively released Luis Tiant. So, they essentially traded them for nothing at a point when they had a collective nearly 250 major-league wins left in them.

    I was going to ask where and when the Twins can burn the cream alternate home uniforms. But to each, his own 😉.
  17. jkcarew
    How about next game the scoreboard operator hangs a ‘9’ over every inning of the Line Score. Worth a try, I say.
  18. jkcarew
    All we do is win.
  19. jkcarew
    2 in his last 4 appearances, both against Seattle. And this will be his 6th blown save…as many as he had all last year. Not saying he’s not valuable. He is. I take exception mostly with how predictable his sequencing is…which has to be at least somewhat on the catchers and/or pitching coach.
  20. jkcarew
    Was throwing fastballs before the mound visit with good results. Then goes almost exclusively with the unhittable sweeper. Center-cut. Again.
  21. jkcarew
    No one willing to underwrite Vasquez and Gallo.
  22. jkcarew
    Probably Balazovic’s best inning so far? was in control of each AB.
  23. jkcarew
    Yeah…I’m sure this is covered by coaches at the start of each series. But seeing is believing 😀
  24. jkcarew
    I think these are just rookie mistakes. I think he’s been a plus baserunner in the minors. He’ll have to make adjustments at this level.
  25. jkcarew
    That’s a bad play.
