    Finally forked out the $$$ and paid for MLBTV...so the first time I've seen Ryan pitch live this season.....has he changed his windup to start the season or was this a new thing tonight? He didn't bring his hand over his head to start the windup but kept them in front of him..... Whatever made him change....keep it up LOL

    I like the way they are bringing him along.....came in the 6th inning yesterday in high leverage (1-0) game. He had a 1-2-3 inning. I think you will continue to see him progress as the year goes on. One thing is clear...he seems to really like his slider at this point more than his fastball.

    Seems like it should be "Enter the Sandman".....but that's just me LOL

    One of the Twins relievers needs to us Lunatic Fringe as an entrance song...... From the movie Vision Quest (one of my favorites)....get pumped up just thinking about it.

    Polo, AK, Gallo, Buck, Farmer, Lewis, Kepler We almost have a full lineup of injured players right now. You gotta cut them a little slack, right?

    Am I the only one that thought that was seriously bad base-running by Buxton???? If he just goes to the outside, I don't think Chicago has any play with Gordon running.......
  7. cheeseheadgophfan
    We are going to be very left-handed vs. the Yankees (assuming that's some of the rationale behind Garlick). Miranda, Correa (hopefully), Julien, Solano, Vazquez, Larnach, Taylor, Gordon, Wallner, ----not a batting order.

    If you watched the game, the ball hit him flush in the face (that sickening sound). I'm amazed it didn't break his jaw. Speedy recovery to Kyle!!!!

    Lopez's pitching "didn't bring the win in the end"????? Uh, yes it did. Without going 7 2/3 and giving up only 2 runs, do you think they win? So the only way pitching "brings the win" is if they throw a shut-out? What do you think the score is if Bundy or Archer are starting like last year??? Losing Arraez sucks....I get it. But hitting for the cycle maybe contributes 2 runs of offense....right? Maybe 3? Archer or Bundy would've given that up within 4 innings.

    Such a smooth swing from E-Rod to hit that ball 400+ feet off of a lefty....
  11. cheeseheadgophfan
    The bases are bigger....LOL
  12. cheeseheadgophfan
    No. Sorry. Not directly at you but everyone in every game thread is bitching about Buxton. It's already been reported that they will start to work him into the outfield toward the end of April
  13. cheeseheadgophfan
    They've already announced that he will be tried in the outfield at the end of April.....relax.

    I don't think you want Celestino in the outfield right now.....he would probably even have a harder time hitting. SMH

    I love the idea of taking away CB Buckner and Angel Hernandez's ability to screw with the game.....seen too many times when umps like them stick it to another team that may be chirping or they don't like. I also love the idea of an actual strike zone being called whether it's Aaron Judge playing for the Yankees vs. Joe Schmo for the Pirates. As far as pitch framing, It isn't always "pulling in a strike".....some catchers are so good it's just the way they catch the ball. The ball hits the glove, the glove doesn't move and it looks like a strike when in reality it's 2-3 inches off the plate. Simply turning the wrist can steal strikes too. If you've ever pitched to really good catchers vs. really poor ones, you know what I'm saying. In defense of humans, calling balls and strikes ain't easy....actually amazed how they get it right most of the time.

    Polanco makes sense when he's healthy. Pencil him in everyday. As a switch-hitter you don't need to worry about match-ups. When he needs a day off, Gordon can do the job. I think the lineup continuity would help.
  18. cheeseheadgophfan
    Sanchez really surprises me. His price tag must be too high, but some of the catchers that will apparently make clubs seem like lesser players to me. He wasn't "terrible" for the Twins last year as a second catcher...... And wow! How quickly Sano's career seems to have gone in the tank? Amazing that someone wouldn't take a chance on him.
  19. cheeseheadgophfan
    Agreed....if it's really just tendonitis, 8 months of rest in the offseason should have been plenty of time to recover. This one worries me if he is still walking with a limp.....
  20. cheeseheadgophfan
    The famous Royce Lewis leg kick appears to be gone????? If you had to draw up a perfect looking left handed swing, it would probably be close to mirroring AK's.
  21. cheeseheadgophfan
    No disrespect intended, but if you watch the strikeouts that Deleon had in the game, it appears the WBC strike zone is much larger than MLB's........
  22. cheeseheadgophfan
    Jake Cave's replacement in St. Paul......
  23. cheeseheadgophfan
    I've seen him pitch several times and i've never seen his fastball come anywhere near the upper 90's. If he really has that in him, make him a reliever and let him go with that in shorter stints. I do like his curveball.
  24. cheeseheadgophfan
    I just banged on my laptop and tried new ear buds until I read the comments.....😅
  25. cheeseheadgophfan
    I remember when Jason said Ryan LaMarre was the next Mike Trout after hitting .400 in spring training several years ago.......😉
