    10 million for Vazquez seems like a massive overpay. Is there any other team catching-desperate enough to take on that contract? It would allow them to try to make a deal for a starting pitcher if they could dump that contract as part of the deal. Camargo is mashing in the minors but I have no idea how good of a defensive catcher he is.....

    How can Chicago challenge that? Didn't they lose the challenge on Jeffers HBP???
  3. cheeseheadgophfan
    That's what I get for trying to work and follow-along.....
  4. cheeseheadgophfan
    Brock Holt has been a God-send.......
  5. cheeseheadgophfan
    Twins playing "Let It Be" when the Sox challenge the HBP. 🤣😆
  6. cheeseheadgophfan
    And why pull Sands after one inning? Calling it now....Thielbar gives up a run.....
  7. cheeseheadgophfan
    Is there anyone on this planet (other than Rocco) that would continue to play Santana?????
  8. cheeseheadgophfan
    Has he improved or has he just gotten healthy?? Hard to tell.....
  9. cheeseheadgophfan
    The biggest concern for me is that few if any hitters are improving under Popkins.....guys that are supposed to be proven major league hitters like Farmer, Vazquez, Santana, Buxton and to a lesser extent Castro look absolutely clueless right now. Julien has taken a step back. Wallner looked lost. The only guy that you could say has improved is Jeffers. There is something fundamentally wrong with the approach the team is taking right now, and that comes from the hitting coach.

    First Lew Ford hurts himself ironing his shirt while wearing it, and now Carlos hurts himself coughing and/or blowing his nose.....only the Twins SMH

    $$$---I'm hoping those are big enough. 😳🤐
  12. cheeseheadgophfan
    Glad nobody took me up on that......😁
  13. cheeseheadgophfan
    I'll place big $$$ on Okert not getting this save....Rocco's bullpen management is bizarre.
  14. cheeseheadgophfan
    1st and 2nd....no out....2-0 count on Santana......fastball right down the middle and he pops up to 3rd. BARF
  15. cheeseheadgophfan
    Just think you've got to have a closer (or a guy who's done it before) in the 9th. You want to bring in Holt in the 7th? Fine. Than Okert in the 8th. The 7th seemed to be the better matchup for a lefty pitcher. It worked, so Rocco will continue to do it. Question for you....does Rocco pitch run for AK if it's a 1 run game???? I think so because his moves all seem to be pre-determined. If the Brewers tie that game up, we have Austin Martin looking for his first MLB hit in the 10th instead of a guy having a career day and the hottest hitter on the team.

    It worked.....but there is a HUGE difference getting 3 outs in the 9th versus the 7th. That's why closers make so much $$$$$$. The insurance run in the 8th was nice, but Okert was coming in regardless. He walks the first guy and got behind the second guy before getting a gift strike. If that game is closer, his butt-cheeks are tightening....I guarantee it. In addition, the 7th inning was 8-9-1 for the Brewers including at least one left-hand hitter (maybe 2???). It makes way more sense to bring in Okert there.....I'm sorry but Rocco drives me nuts (PH for Julien, Pitch-running for AK on 3rd base). Rant over LOL
  17. cheeseheadgophfan
    Looks like Okert....I'll go on the record (in advance instead of hindsight) that I don't like it.
  18. cheeseheadgophfan
    So is Jax coming out for a 2nd inning??? If so, he's probably unavailable for the home opener? Or are you going to let someone with no closer experience try to get 3 outs in the 9th? That's why i don't understand the Stewart move in the 7th?
  19. cheeseheadgophfan
    Wow....what a freaking play by Correa.....played a ton of 1st Base in my life and that type of catch running away from the infield is so difficult.....
  20. cheeseheadgophfan
    But you've got 8-9-1 coming up for the Brewers and you still have to get 9 outs.....not seeing the rationale to bring in your quasi-closer in the 7th????
  21. cheeseheadgophfan
    Please someone explain to me why Stewart in the 7th??? Who's our 8th inning guy if Jax is closing? I just don't understand Rocco's moves.....
  22. cheeseheadgophfan
    Man....that smile on his face as he rounded first was a look of pure joy/relief.......can't imagine what he's been going through.
  23. cheeseheadgophfan
    Not disagreeing at all....I just don't think you would've gotten anything more than a Juggs machine for Kepler.....
  24. cheeseheadgophfan
    You really think that Kepler had any trade value? He's had one above average half of baseball in the last 5 years.....he might have gotten you a class A pitcher with upside.....
  25. cheeseheadgophfan
    I'm sure Margot bunted on his own.....still don't think it was enough to be overturned Does the ball still have to be in the back of the glove to indicate it's caught? I still think it was a dumb move pitch hitting in the 4th inning. We are hitting in some bad luck right now too. Castro and Jeffers both smoked balls right at the outfielders. I didn't think Paddock was bad. Some bad luck too. Two squibbers back to him went for hits. Watching Hoskins swing the bat and make scoops at first, knowing we could have had him instead of Santana is painful.
