    I don't care what the numbers say about him having a "down year", he's still able to bat .270+ and work the count full as much as anyone in the game. He's the best two strike hitter I've personally ever witnessed and his RISP speaks for itself. Not to mention, how is it even possible to spank the ball to the opposite field as often as he does? I know we're heading in a different direction with younger players and would like to see Austin or Rooker stick at first but I don't think either of them will provide as much production as Mauer. He's as solid on defense as they come and I still wholeheartedly believe he was robbed of a gold glove last year. Dudes still an animal on the diamond. Maybe, since he's been paid handsomely already by the Twins, he will come back for a year or two on a dirt cheap contract and provide us with some flexibility. Would love to see him back and that's coming from a big Tyler Austin/Brent Rooker guy. Go Joe.

    Great outing for Busenitz. Love his fastball and his curve looked fantastic those couple batters.

    Am I the only person that thinks Kohl Stewarts "stuff" blows Gonsalves "stuff" out of the water?
  4. Krusington
    Horrendous pinch run decision. Ouch.
  5. Krusington
    I've actually thought the same thing. Clearly given all the starts he's had this year, something has to change. This is literally insane what's going on with Odorizzi.
  6. Krusington
    Just absolutely disgusting, to be honest, though I'd never cheer for a Twin to perform poorly, Odorizzi needed those runs tacked on to his ERA. I truly don't know if he's a guy we can throw all season long next year. It literally pains me to watch him pitch no matter how "smooth" of an inning he has. Disgusting.
  7. Krusington
    Spoke too soon, don't worry I was in the same boat.....
  8. Krusington
    Would you look at that, the beauty of attacking the strike zone! Still threw 16 pitches but at least it wasn't as ugly as the 20+ pitch innings we're used to. Great inning from him.
  9. Krusington
    Odorizzi with possibly the best game plan I've seen from a starting pitcher - get behind as many hitters as you possibly can with a 2-0 or 3-0 count and work back from there. Sneaky little fella.
  10. Krusington
    He doesn't hit Mahtook in the third inning while he's ahead in the count 1-2 and he probably has a very good chance of getting out of the inning giving up no runs. I don't think he pitched that bad. A ton of swing and misses tonight from the Tigers and if he locates just a tiny bit better in the third he probably pitches at least 5/6 innings this game (depending on how the heart of the lineup looked the third time through). Patience - and I think we have a 4/5 rotation starter for quite some time.
  11. Krusington
    Field DFA per Berardino. Now optioned (edit).
  12. Krusington
    That's my thing. There are plenty of people capable of going 0-10000 (roughly) like Field and company, let's give some young pieces who can actually be with the team in the future a chance. Hell I'd be more than happy to go out there and strike out 20 times in a row if that's what they're looking for. SIGN ME UP.
  13. Krusington
    I'll be the first person to say I have so far been proved very wrong when it comes to Forsythe. As you mentioned, very small sample size but so far so extremely good for the Twins. I don't think they'd get anything useful back in a trade and if they did get anything, the prospect would probably be a few years from the bigs. I honestly think trying to sign him to a very affordable one year deal makes sense. He plays until Gordon is ready. The Twins also have Arraez who has been performing relatively well at AA and both could get a chance next season but aren't quite there yet. Either way, trading an expiring contract in Dozier, getting back Raley/Smeltzer and an upgrade at 2B (so far) is looking to be one of the best moves of the deadline. Think about it, in almost every aspect (fielding?) he's performed better than Dozier, you also have a top 20 prospect in Raley, and a solid pitching prospect in Smeltzer... I'll take a trade like that 100% of the time.

    He could throw a perfect game for all I care, if you're a fan of baseball watching a dude labor inning after inning is as painful as it gets.
  15. Krusington
    Is watching Jake Odorizzi pitch more painful than watching Lance Lynn pitch or is that just me?
  16. Krusington
    Looks good to me. If anything, I'd like to get an extended look at Mejia and Stewart or maybe give LIttell a few more shots. That being said, I don't necessarily think that Pineda is an absolute must to force into the rotation the remainder of this year. Per reports, his stuff seems to look almost as good as it did before the injury and surgery happened. He's a proven veteran and I think that you can assume given another off season and a healthy spring training, that he'll be firing on all cylinders to start next season. I'd like to continue to see what some of these unproven youngsters can do in the bigs. But overall, great train of thought, get these guys some innings!!!!
  17. Krusington
    Not meaning double play. One or the other. Sorry for the miscommunication, nobody could've ever expected that. Pablo Sandoval makes it to first if he goes to the bag at third first. Double play in that situation is out of the question for sure.
  18. Krusington
    Stewart had a solid game. Not great, not horrible, simply average, which is honestly more than I expected from him. Noticed right away through the first three innings there wasn't a swing and miss pitch. He reminds me A LOT of Gibson a couple years ago. Decent stuff, not great, but no true swing and miss pitch - there's HOPE people. Adrianza and Austin didn't help his case there. Anybody defending Adrianza must not get out or watch a lot of baseball that's an extremely routine play (possibly even routine enough to be an out at first as well for a solid 3B). Overall I'm encouraged by Stewarts start, I hope he gets another shot or two against even better competition yet this year.
  19. Krusington
    Ronald Rodriguez, act like you've hit a double in your life you toolshed. Looked like Lindor out there.
  20. Krusington
    Error. Maybe a hit in little league. Still, probably not.
  21. Krusington
    Who will Kohl Stewart replace on the active roster?
  22. Krusington
    Bye-Bye Santana.
  23. Krusington
    Need Ervin to raise that trade value a little bit today.
  24. Krusington
    Mid/High 90s fastball is what I've been seeing and reading most places. High risk/reward type pitcher it seems. Lots of Ks but lots of walks as well.
  25. Krusington
    The most disheartening thing about that ugly inning of work from Reed is that we have a few guys in the minors putting up wonderful numbers in relief. Sure they haven't done the greatest in EXTREMELY SMALL sample sizes in the majors but give them consistent innings and I'd be willing to bet you'd find at least one long term solution in the pen. Please don't let there be a repeat of total FO stupidity again this year/September/offseason. Edit: Not saying that I don't like the aggressive signings of Reed, Duke, Rodney and company in the offseason. Unfortunately, they haven't worked and some very nice internal pieces are now no longer with us and thriving elsewhere. Let's see what we have in our own system this year and get some fresh young arms in there for the long haul.
