  1. Probably as close to a no-hitter as you can get. One semi-line drive and a bunt single.....didn't have that on my Bingo card.
  2. The fact that any MLB team has Eric Orze pitching the 9th in a one run game save situation is malpractice. There is NO defense of the Varland trade. NONE. But, I do get tired of everyone complaining about trading away the rest of the bullpen. Wouldn't most of us trade Jax for Bradley and Duran for Abel and Tait even today? I know I would.
  3. And if Morris gives you 2 good innings every time out, be happy. I think that 3 straight times Shelton has left him in for one inning too many.....
  4. In Preilapp's last inning Royce fell and made a short hop throw to 1st base......granted not a good throw but..... Clemons attempt at a scoop was something that I would've scolded my 8th graders for trying. He's playing 1b in the major leagues and attempted a scoop with the glove up. Embarrassing, as is the fact that he's back tonight batting fifth. Not a serious team.
  5. This. I was going to post almost the same thing. Crazy that I was still nervous in a 6-0 game in the 8th inning when the Sox put 2 guys on base vs. Rogers. This bullpen is incredibly weak and the Twins won't continue to blow teams out. There will be numerous stretches where we will blow late leads and saves because of a lack of talented arms. That being said, I'm enjoying the heck out of this run. Watching the Sox (and their payroll) look utterly defeated and deflated the last 2 nights has been so much fun.
  6. I'm being mostly serious here......Rocco pulls Mick after five if he was still managing.
  7. Those are all plays/scoops that a major league first baseman should make. The throw from Gray was a high-school level pick. The throws from Lewis were tougher but still should have been caught. The Twins seem to think you can put any live body at first base and it won't matter.
  8. Did you mean the 3rd out or did he also make a 1st out at 3rd base???? It's crazy that I have to ask this, but the way the Twins run the bases, I'm not so sure.
  9. Did you watch the game?? 1st inning double legit 2nd inning single between 2nd and third....hit hard....a foot either way and it's an out. 2nd inning....are you upset he got a ground ball double play??? LMAO---it was a jam shot. if that was 100 mph, better check your radar gun. No freaking way. 3rd inning---Durbin's hit was a borderline bleeder that hit off Royce's glove. Again....watch the game. The radar gone is ridiculous. 3rd inning IKF opened up on a curve and muscled it over Lee's head. He looked to mistime his jump. It wasn't hit hard. Take the radar gun and stick it.
  10. Oh man.....that made me think of Nishioka. I remember we actually won a bidding war for the right to sign him. I thought he was gonna be the next Ichiro...LOL
  11. Kenny Powers..... He needs to start screaming "YOU'RE F'IN OUT" after a strikeout.....LMAO
  12. Best part of that is seeing the hitters he struck and seeing how silly he made them look......Harper, Schwarber, Castellanos, etc.....the stuff is real.
  13. Agreed that the results haven't been there, but it's not because of a lack of spending/trying.... Wild signed Parise/Suter and "went for it"....those contracts were record-setting at the time and all of us fans were ecstatic. It didn't work. No comparison between he and Pohlad family....
