    F Awesome! This is why they don't send Willians back to AAA "If a [turtle] is crossing a busy street, pick it up and send it in the same direction it was going – if you try to make it go back, it will turn right around again."

    Baldelli is right on the edge of the millenial generation. I think it's a perfect fit. The difficult picture for me to imagine is 15-20 years from now when we get our first managers from the other edge of the millenial generation and the first Gen Z manager. Those guys will probably sit in the dugout watching the game on their mobile device and texting the moves to the coaches and players which will pop up on a messaging device embedded in their gear. Interview question: "So, what's this new [Gen Z] manager like?" Interview answer: "I don't know. I've never spoken to him, but he does like that frowny face emoji."

    Twins remaining schedule tidbits: Home Games - 58 Road Games - 56 Against .500 or Better - 53 (28 - Home) (25 - Road) Against Under .500 - 61 (30 - Home) (31 - Road) vs AL - 99 (48 - Home) (51 - Road) vs NL - 15 (10 - Home) (5 - Road) So ... 10-15 in those 25 road games against "good" teams 53-36 in those 89 games otherwise 32 wins in the bank 95 wins That blows my 84 win prediction out of the water.

    Twins have the best record in baseball and can't crack the top 5 in the power rankings. It think it's an mlb.com rule that no more than one small market team can be in the top 5 at any time, so the upcoming Rays series is looming large.

    Haha ... Hildy? .... Did the batting practice pitcher sustain an injury of some kind?
  6. MMMordabito
    No kidding ... He couldn't even beat out ".573 OPS in Single-A" Celestino
  7. MMMordabito
    Pass on Stroman
  8. MMMordabito
    Agree. Just please not Stroman. Don't need that short fuse clubhouse cancer infecting the obvious camaraderie that this group has.

    Another team, another season series win. Still 65 games left against the ALC. This is shaping up to be a fun summer.
  10. MMMordabito
    Good problem to have, but I don't see taking this kid out of the lineup ... Amazing in the box ... Some hit tool there
  11. MMMordabito
    Arraez sure looks locked in for a kid who just turned 22 and all but skipped AAA. I think I've only seen a single pitch where he didn't look in complete control, and it was a late swing on a foul ball. Sano seemed to improve a little in each appearance last night. His timing is getting there, and he's strong enough that he can obviously be off a tad and still crush. I said I would ignore his first 20 PAs, and he had a 45% K-Rate in those. Glad to see him come through for the team late. Latroy Hawkins needs to go. The way he reads queue cards, or whatever they use, word for word reminds me of listening to my kids read Amelia Bedelia from the I Can Read series. Some of the pointers that he brings up are good, but the delivery is terrible. I think he would have more value to the organization just focusing on being a roving pitching assistant and possible talent evaluator.

    Rogers should be good for two.
  13. MMMordabito
    Well,the Indians won't be getting any of it tonight ... They actually have to win to cut into the lead. Also, the starting pitching the Twins will face the next six games is pretty awful. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
  14. MMMordabito
    I'll take the over on 9 or 9.5 runs. Twins win 9-5.
  15. MMMordabito
    The only reason you're saying that is because Gordon was a 1st round draft pick and has a bunch of prospect shine. Arraez career OPS - .798 (probably .800 with the double, single and two walks just added) Gordon career OPS - .709 Neither is known as a plus defender
  16. MMMordabito
    Impressed by Arraez at the plate .... He's gotten on base four times in 1.5 games and could have had a 5th time on that judgement call obstruction call. He seems to have good control of the strike zone. In the field, he made a couple nice plays, but also goofed on that throw from Duffey on Saturday. I also wonder if his arm was a bit lacking on that potential double-play turn in the 2nd inning. It was a nice turn, but I might just be spoiled by Schoop's gun.

    The White Sox are coming to town this weekend. If Tim Anderson tries that bat flip $%^ at Target Field, maybe he'll find an Austin Adams 98 mph heater in the elbow or knee later in the game.

    I liked Arya Columbus at the end. Hope they do a spinoff on her adventures. She was always my favorite character.
  19. MMMordabito
    Wow, looking at the group of trash opposing starters coming up, I expect at least another 40-50 runs this week.
  20. MMMordabito
    Berrios' fastball is just dominating tonight, and now the bender is coming back. Oh yeah, and he just changed at 77. Sick!!
  21. MMMordabito
    Love the title of this recap, since I think it needs to be recognized. Luis Arraez was also called up yesterday, even though he didn't play. 20% of the roster is from Venezuela.
  22. MMMordabito
    I know, but it doesn't change the fact that Arraez beat him to the show.
  23. MMMordabito
    Arraez: "Hey, Gordon!"
  24. MMMordabito
    Nelson Haha

    From the album: Test

  25. MMMordabito
    The Kernels have some promising pitching, but they can't hit. Go look at their individual hitting stats and sort by at-bats then slide over to OPS. It's bad. Williams and Snyder are the only hitters, and they are old to very old for Single A. They need to get Javier and Severino back from injury. I also wasn't very impressed by their defense (sans Pearson) when I saw them live.
