  1. 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.
  2. I'd say the new "ace" is doing pretty good....
  3. Is it possible that guys like Buxton, Correa, Kepler (and now Gallo) aren't the problem? Maybe it's Rocco and the front office who "baby" our players like other organizations don't????? When a guy takes swings, says he feels good, says "I think we're in a good spot" and still gets put on the DL, it sure makes me wonder......
  4. Best news I've heard in a while.......been a rough week for Minnesota sports fans!!
  5. And the unknowable question is whether Pressly reaches his same peak with the Twins pitching staff.....Houston seems to bring out the best in pitchers.
  6. Seriously?? What are they waiting for with Julien???? Castro is just not a major league hitter. Bring the kid up and see if we get lightening in. a bottle. He can DH for Buxton during the games he inevitably sits out.
  7. Five of the nine hitters in the linuep today are hitting .200 or lower......that's gross.
  8. Gallo and Correa must absolutely be unavailable.......sucks. If Buxton can PH, then he can DH for ****'s sake.
  9. Tried that.....says I'm not in an area where it is provided. I get the Chad Hartman show.......grrrrrrr
  10. I'm in Florida right now.....is there anyway to even get the audio of Twins games for free????
  11. Yeah......Ober has been SUPER impressive in his first 2 AAA starts this year.....SMH
  12. Lineup is missing two of it's middle-of-the-order hitters. Most smaller market teams are gonna struggle with that.
  13. Any updates on Polanco/AK??? This lineup needs them desperately!!!
  14. The move I didn't understand at all is bringing in Thielbar to begin with.....isn't this the spot/reason we trade for Jorge Lopez??? You knew if anyone got on you were going to have Thielbar facing Solar which is a bad matchup.
  15. 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
  16. Lineup looks like a bunch of little leaguers over the 15 innings......
  17. They've already announced that he will be tried in the outfield at the end of April.....relax.
  18. I don't think you want Celestino in the outfield right now.....he would probably even have a harder time hitting. SMH
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. Made a nice dig on Correa's low throw.....
