  1. 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?
  2. 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.....
  3. 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????
  4. 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.....
  5. 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.
  6. Not disagreeing at all....I just don't think you would've gotten anything more than a Juggs machine for Kepler.....
  7. 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.....
  8. 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.
  9. Only because Pablo talked Rocco out of making the move....SMH
  10. Way to early to tell....I immediately thought one of those ACL's popped by how he jammed his foot into the base. A quad injury is probably the best possible alternative.
  11. Someone want to whisper to Rocco that Duran is not available??? How's he going to get 3 innings out of this bullpen? Stewart warming up and about to come in the 7th????? Who's closing? Jax? Who's got the 8th? Grrrrr. It's only game 1.
  12. Reported to be a right quad injury......thank God!!
  13. If you pull a hammy (from personal experience and observations) you are grabbing at the muscle. He was flexing his leg. I just hope it's not one of those knees....
  14. I hope you're right,....please don't be a knee.
  15. Please be an ankle.....please be an ankle.....
  16. Don't worry about spring training results.... Don't worry about spring training results...... Don't worry about spring training results..... I'm starting to REALLY worry about spring training results......LOL
  17. Where do I sign up? 😱
  18. I'm concerned too, but Lorenzen? There would be an uproar on here if the Twins signed another guy with a damaged arm......ala Desclafani.
  19. Gray's contract is guaranteed 3 years and 75 million dollars. That wasn't going to happen. To me, the mistake was not taking the Polanco $$$ and signing Maeda to the 2 year $24 million dollar contract he got from the Tigers.
  20. This whole story doesn't pass the smell test......you've seen the video of Ohtani and the interpreter talking very friendly to each other in the dugout supposedly after it was known that he had "stolen" 4.5 million dollars? SMH. All sports gambling is illegal in CA so even if Ohtani wired the funds to the bookie to cover illegal bets, he's in trouble. I haven't seen any reports that any of the bets were on baseball, so a lifetime ban is unlikely (ala Pete Rose) but I can see a years suspension or something along those lines. What I can't fathom is how you an lose 4.5 million dollars betting on sports. How can you be that bad at picking winners??? LOL
  21. I know they've been stretching him out....but i would not be surprised if Varland starts in the bullpen either closing or being the set-up guy due to Duran's injury.
  22. Well....i for one, think AK has more hitting talent than just about any guy on the roster. Having a bum wrist is the worst possible injury for a hitter. He also seems to be a little distant or aloof which may not have endeared him to Rocco. I'm hoping for a healthy 24 season so he can showcase what he can really do.
  23. I haven't seen one national publication that doesn't say this was a good deal for the Twins. They get Margot for cheap (4 million)....MAT apparently wanted 2 years (which would block Martin) and probably at 2x's the cost of Margot. The prospects are a wash. The experts who have actually seen them both play have Doncon rated higher....
  24. What in the actual F was with the pitch calling in the 8th inning??? Jax has a 97 MPH fastball and I bet he threw 20 sliders in a row. I know it was mostly weak contact, but mix it up a BIT. Ridiculous.
  25. SWR walked guy on a pitch clock violation.....what are the rules? Can a pitcher call timeout? He clearly tried to before the pitch clock ran out......
