    That legitimately could've been 5 shutout innings for SWR with any type of defense behind him.....
  2. cheeseheadgophfan
    Correa....is that how you say it?
  3. cheeseheadgophfan
    if you can't turn a double play on that grounder by Witt, it ain't ever gonna happen. Willi doesn't even attempt a throw.....disgusting defense all around tonight and it's the 2nd inning.

    The baseball action is actually pretty good… Unlike a lot of baseball movies where the baseball scenes look ridiculous, the actor’s actually look like they knew what they’re doing…

    Rocco is the worst manager in all of baseball. This game reminds me of Alcala’s blowup last year. Expect a 6-7 game losing streak to follow. You have a closer. Let him close. I’ve said it 100 x’s. So. Freaking. Stupid.
  6. cheeseheadgophfan
    A team like the twins can’t miss on the guy that they pay $33 million a year to….. Correa supposed to be a superstar, and superstars step up and carry a team whe. they start out like this. Just gross.

    Perez blowing 85 and 86 MPH fastballs by Bader and Vazquez.....holy crap.
  8. cheeseheadgophfan
    Ober is topping out at about 90 mph with a lot of 88-89. I know he doesn’t throw gas, but that is still concerning. Just throwing batting practice.

    Walked 3 guys today in 2/3 of an inning. Terrible timing to pitch brutally.....
  10. cheeseheadgophfan
    It's truly unbelievable......I mean it's a 90 foot sprint. There are multi-million dollar clubhouses below the dugouts and probably a dozen trainers on staff. Maybe he needs to be. getting stretched/massaged between innings, but to see a professional athlete go down two seasons in a row just running the bases boggles the mind.

    Not necessarily an excuse, but you're correct. Played old-man baseball in the Roy Hobbs World Series at the Florida spring training fields, and pop-ups were nearly impossible. I don't know why. Sunglasses didn't seem to help either. Also, the winds are so hard to read and seem to shift constantly compared to the Midwest.

    I just have a hard time believing Miranda would not be on this roster, or that his spot was ever in jeopardy. When healthy, the dude can hit. I don't care about exit velocity or other metrics, Anyone who gets hits in 12 consecutive AB's in the major's can hit.
  13. cheeseheadgophfan
    So bizarre....he's pushing 50 pitches and clearly out of gas....
  14. cheeseheadgophfan
    Castellanos is a rule 5 guy, right? If so, that's a real nice arm that they're going to have to make a tough call on.
  15. cheeseheadgophfan
    You've got to be kidding me? Zebby hurt? WTH just happened? Yankee broadcasters too busy interviewing another Yankee to bother.....
  16. cheeseheadgophfan
    Isn't this the ESPN crew? Didn't know they were the Yank's broadcasters...
  17. cheeseheadgophfan
    Two things showing MASSIVE Yankee bias today: 1. ABS---umps gotta hate it. 2. Announcers are about to cry when things don't go the Yanks way.....everyone of the homers the Twins hit are wind-aided and "dumped over the wall"....while Judge's flyball to left was knocked down by the wind. LMAO
  18. cheeseheadgophfan
    I laughed at blaming Cole for the challenge.....ball wasn't even close to being a strike. LMAO--sad that the Yankees won't be able to get called on getting all the calls during the regular season.
  19. cheeseheadgophfan
    I'm gonna disagree slightly......it's more than a "stupid mistake". And a 22 year old is not a kid anymore. He intentionally impacted the integrity of a professional game....it's very akin (IMO) to betting against his own team. He deserves to be banned.....
  20. cheeseheadgophfan
    I understand all of this and i also understand the concern with his age.....but don't even try to compare the Twins and Wolve's ownership in terms of willingness to spend money. Money and spending has never been an issue for Taylor....it has ALWAYS been an issue for the Pohlads. Your history of the Wolves is accurate but I don't blame that entirely on ownership. Granted he hired incompetent management (David Kahn, anyone?)....but he was willing to spend on players and coaches. They were also incredibly unlucky with the lottery early on and had a generational duo who couldn't play together because Marbury was jealous of KG. As to Taylor's age? I can see a scenario where he wants to go out on a high and try to out-do AROD etc....and the biggest thing??? ANYTHING WOULD BE BETTER THAN THE POHLADS!!!!
  21. cheeseheadgophfan
    Just asking......but why would that be so bad? He'll have money from the sale of the Wolves.....spending wasn't the problem for the Wolves, bad management was. He signed KG and let him bring in his boys (a big mistake). He signed Joe Smith to a big deal (another mistake)....but spending money was not the problem.
  22. cheeseheadgophfan
    I forgot about Moran....he had some dominant stretches as a reliever....he's also had stretches where he can't throw strikes. He's an interesting piece to fill the left-handed reliever role....
  23. cheeseheadgophfan
    I, for one, thought the back thing was minor, probably an excuse for poor performance at the plate. I apologize. I was never so sure of a prospect in my 40 years of fandom as I was with AK. Kept telling my sons Ihe would eventually be a .300 hitter with 25 HR power on a consistent basis. Such a pure, smooth left-handed swing. Injuries suck.
  24. cheeseheadgophfan
    Wow....that is not an inspiring list.....
  25. cheeseheadgophfan
    Let me preface this by saying, I LOVE Nelson Cruz....he was one of my favorite Twins and I loved watching him swing the bat. That being said, he was caught using steroids and to his credit admitted the mistake. I just don't see the Twins, with their conservative approach, hiring a hitting coach with that in his past.
