  1. Baldelli ordered some runs before the game. The baseball gods, told him they were out of stock. Gave him a raincheck.
  2. And in typical Twins fashion, we missed.
  3. Rationalize any way you want. A hitter may try to go the opposite way for a base hit, or swing from the heels to hit the ball 450 feet. Both ways he's trying to improve his team's chance. So spin it any way you want.
  4. "Normally would" is a subjective term based upon a myriad of conditions through out the course of a game.
  5. WTF..........no cutoff? Another MENTAL mistake.
  6. I'd like to see a Twins pitcher soften up some of Tim Anderson's rib cartilage.
  7. It's very early, but Larnack has the 'look' of a Major Leaguer. Hopefully, he can hit like one.
  8. You're talking about situations after the fact. You might as well say, If you don't want to be disrespected, then win the game, which is a given.
  9. Need to bunt on Lynn. He's too fat to field a bunt or two cleanly.
  10. Didn't take long for Bailey Ober to fit right in. Low 90's fastball and a change-up that flies quite well.
  11. The Twins aren't a 'bad' team. they're a decent team, performing badly. Sano is not a bad hitter, just not a smart or a consistent hitter. Josh Donaldson is a gold glove third basemen, who has committed errors at key times. and so forth and so on, with the rest of the team. With that being said, how does everyone or at least the majority of the players play well enough on a regular basis? 1. They need to be given opportunities to excel. i.e. inexperienced pitchers given the time to grow and develop, not brought up for a major league debut, that will land them back in AAA within 24 hours. 2. Defensive assignments based on ability and experience. Too many players playing out of position at key times in the game. 3. Hitters not encouraged by exit velocity and launch angles, rather by making contact and going with the pitch. 4. Management stressing a more aggressive approach. Better bullpen management. Management going by instinct or current performance, rather than just by the 'book".
  12. I always thought Donaldson was a gamer. I thought he was a smart aleck kind of guy. Truth be known, he's a bonafide MLB choker. He's a poser of the highest degree.
  13. Nice take. Don't wanna seem to anxious. Now the choker, Donaldson smacks a homer. Clutch blow, what a smash. Now that cuts the deficit to 9!!!!!!!!!! This guy is awesome.
  14. The FO has got to do something, even if it's wrong. They can't let the fans think that this is acceptable in any way, shape or form. There needs to be a shake-up, large or small, to at least show the fans some signs of life in the Twins owners box.
  15. I apologize for all the negativity. I'm gonna walk away for a while, and come back with a better attitude.
  16. Ya gotta be tough when you can't play defense and your offense has gone south.
  17. He won't have a clue where to play or what to do.
  18. Big sigh of relief from white sox, Garver stays in game.
  19. Garver will probably be out for 3o days. Is that bad?
  20. Happ needs to put the hair on his chin on top of his head and go sell beer in the stands.
  21. Twins pitchers just look pathetic. Happ looks like he can't even get the pitch over the plate. Can any of the Twins pitchers get a hitter to swing and miss? Damn, 3 hitters into the game and it looks terrible already. Same old stuff.
  22. Halloween is on October 31st!
  23. It's not about the result, it's the experience.
