  1. When it looked like the Twins were considering Cruz and Cruz was considering the Twins, I started checking sports news every single day to see if they had signed him. When they did, I jumped for joy. He makes the offense better even if he doesn't get any hits. He's still a feared hitter, but now other teams have to fear him instead of the Twins.
  2. Rocco is always taking the long view, so I wasn't a bit surprised to see Berrios come out after only 81 pitches.
  3. Good to beat up on these teams with losing records. With that said, there were more Twins thrown out on the bases once again tonight. Too bad about Poppen...it happens. He'll get a chance to ponder at AAA.
  4. I think you could get Minor because of the weakness of the Rangers at the infield positions. I think if you offered something like Gordon and Valdespin + 1 lower level minor leaguer, the deal is done.
  5. Nice win! I love the low scoring Ws. I am surprised to know that Romo lives outside the zone. That is great against free swinging teams; I hope against teams like the Yankees and Red Sox, he can get them to chase. One weird play was the hit and run with Sano on first. I could see it on 3-1 or 2-1 but not on 3-2. Arraez ended up chasing a pitch he normally wouldn't offer at and we ended up running ourselves out of the inning. Rogers looked good. I think the rest has done him a world of good.
  6. I still think they could swing a bigger deal for Minor and Leclerc. A deal with the Rangers makes a lot of sense. They need infield help desperately and they would probably like at least one more outfielder as well.
  7. I'd love to do a multi-player deal and get Mike Minor as well.
  8. Free Hackimer! Good to see him back in action. He's a tough hombre. A Rooker + Gordon + 1 would look attractive to many a team.
  9. Perez was shaky (4 BBs and the homer-fest), but Baldelli yanked him just in time. I know he was hoping to get him a W, but it is better than getting the team an L. The bullpen was just fine (super in fact)...only one BB over five innings. This should be a recipe for the Twins. Make the Yankees beat you by hitting not be walking, walking and then three-run homers.
  10. What I fear the most against the Yankees is the BBs and falling behind in the count. If Twins pitchers don't come after the Yankees, they're in for a long series. With that said, if the pitching staff comes after the Yankees, I think they'll do just fine.
  11. I've been harping on this as well. I was afraid we might see a Rogers mini-meltdown and we did--in gut-punching fashion. Now we add May and Littel to the list.
  12. There are three things that will sink us faster than anything else IMHO: errors, base-running gaffes and walks by our pitchers. We knew the Twins would come back down to earth a bit concerning the bombas, but the sloppy play of late has been disconcerting. Culver's Crow Sandwich for my lunch (with crinkle fries to offset the feathers): I admit that my forecast about the Indians has been wrong. I truly believed that the White Sox were actually a better team than the Indians. I couldn't have been more wrong.
  13. Play Arraez more. (Sorry, I just had to say that.) Nice and needed win. Cave was apparently going on contact, so it's hard to fault him for that. Arraez's base-running blunder was another mental mistake. We escaped our sloppy play this time, but often in tight games, those kinds of plays come back to bite you very, very hard.
  14. Arraez's 9th inning AB--being stuck with Schoop's 0-2 and working a walk--was a heck of an AB for the Twins. They almost pulled the game out of the hat. I'd prefer to see Arraez in every game possible until he at least goes into a slump (although I prefer to see him in the one or two slot because of his patience at the dish).
  15. Arraez's AB in the 9th should not be overlooked. That was a great AB. They put up a good fight in the 9th, but just came up one pitch short. It happens. Diaz was dealing 98 to 99 so it was a good 9th.
  16. There is actually a bright side to not sweeping the Indians. It was being bandied about that Cleveland would be sellers if they fell behind by 9 or 10 games. They probably will be gamblers instead. Think about it from a more rational viewpoint. There is no way they would be selling their assets to the Twins. They would be selling their assets to our opponents in the playoffs. In other words, as long as the Twins take care of their jobs, they will be fine.
  17. I was more irritated that Arraez led off the next inning with a double and the Twins were unable to get him home, but we did what we set out to do and that was to push Cleveland further back instead of letting them get closer.
