  1. Trade Duran.....we got lots of closers in the wings. I'll say it for the 1000th time....9th inning is different and we have one proven guy that's got the balls to pitch it. But let's trade him away, right?
  2. He's been hit hard in every one of the those last 3 appearances....make another excuse.....SMH
  3. Freaking hilarious how everyone just wants to hand the closer spot to Varland.....I guarantee his stats in high leverage situations is crap (and don't tell me the 7th inning is high leverage).
  4. Insane take......every team in MLB would take GG for Polanco straight up right now and this is the best Polanco has played since the trade.
  5. ERod—-wth else can go wrong? Wrist, thumb, hip, ankle and now oblique. You can’t make it up. Ober’s stats look good, but he’s gonna get crushed in the majors if he can’t get his fastball back to 93 which it’s been in the past. Just can’t help but think it’s more than a hip. I’m hoping Keaschall is the 1B a lot in this second half. Get him ready for next year.
  6. His AVERAGE fastball velo this year was 97 MPH....highest of any player picked so far. NICE....
  7. But they needed a strikeout.....stupid pitch. And it was hit about 1000 mph.....
  8. 0-2 pitch???? Throw it right down the middle........WTF?
  9. Don't pull your starter after 4 2/3 and the problem might not be so obvious.
  10. Blowing your load early here is gonna comeback to bite ya Rocco.......
  11. Rocco getting cute with the closer again……
  12. Am I mis-remembering things? Wasn’t Ronny topping out at about 93-95 with the Twins???
  13. That entire Twins draft was a total bust.....the only guys drafted that saw an inning of PT with the Twins were Jovani Moran, Cody Stashek and Lamonte Wade. YUCK
  14. You gotta believe there's some kind of arm issue with Bailey. He can hit 92-93 on occasion, but has no ability to maintain the velocity.......
  15. I was hopeful early that Ober had made some "corrections" as I saw a couple of 92 mph fastballs rather than the normal 90 for most of the season. But it was few and far between. Looks like guys have just decided that he can't throw a fastball by them and at some point he's going to hang one during the AB and it will get crushed. On another note, can Larnach just spend the offseason working on learning to play first base? Is that too illogical???? Left handed hitter. Slow as ****, but seems to be able to catch everything thrown right at him????
  16. His arm can definitely adjust to long outings....he threw over 110 pitches in the no hitter.... Whether it can stay healthy long-term is the million dollar question.....
  17. If you didn't watch the no-hitter, you should. The stuff is amazing. He sat 94-98 mph the entire game, including 97 on the last pitch (it was like pitch #115ish). He's got a drop dead overhand tight curveball. Slider and change as well. He hasn't thrown a ton of innings/pitches like a lot of college pitchers. My concern is he missed 2 months of this season with a shoulder impingement. That's obviously alarming.
  18. I know it wouldn't have mattered but Rocco's use or lack of use of the steal is frustrating. Buxton gets on first earlier in the game and never attempts to run. In fact, he had about a one step lead. Brings in Keirsey to run in the 8th with Lee hitting. Never attempts to run in the 10 pitch AB until it's a 3-2 count and the catcher knows he's running. He's thrown out. 9th inning, Bader walks. Pagan might have the slowest delivery in the history of baseball. Never moves.
  19. Just sucks….Royce was just starting to get his swing back….just another setback in a long list of setbacks.
  20. FFS…..how is he supposed to do that? Bunt with the bases loaded??? Steal a freaking base with the bases loaded? Oh ****….i bet he forgot to give the signal to get a hit or at least a sacrifice fly!!!! BLAME ROCCO!! He needs to manufacture more runs with the bases loaded and. no outs. SMH
