    C'mon, Bats! Pickup your damn pitcher! Yeah, he made an early mistake, but he he's been dealing since, including totally screwed by the umpire.

    Brother Glen's gotta get home to milk 'dem goats.

    I think we've found a couple pitchers for the St. Paul Saints.

    Good ole game of prospect fail
  5. MMMordabito
    The Twins are not on Bumgarner's no-trade list.
  6. MMMordabito
    I wonder what Ted S. is thinking of this "proven commodity" in the bullpen right now.
  7. MMMordabito
    Looks like the Kitties are calling up an AA prospect that averages 5.3 BB/9 in his MiLB career for the second game ... Game 2 could be a long one

    Thanks, Matt Chapman. Walks Oakland off and hands the Twins a 4.5 game division lead!

    That's pure class from Cabrera ... congratulating an opponent in game

    If Madison Bumgarner is what it takes to get the Twins deep into the playoffs, I could honestly care less if one of Graterol, Kirrilloff or Lewis never plays for the Twins. I think fan bases tend to overvalue and overproject their own prospects and players. I get excited about prospect potential myself and love following the MiLB daily. However, I would get much more excited if there was a real possibility of World Series games being played at Target Field. I would personally want to see Bumgarner pitch for a couple more months before doing anything. It's fun watching how well Perez and Odorizzi are pitching right now, but it's way too early to pencil them is as playoff load-bearers at this point. Also, neither one of them has ever cut open a rattlesnake, rescued digesting rabbits and nursed them back to health.
  12. MMMordabito
    Yes to Bumgarner, Giles or Smith. I'd thrown in Diekman and Greene as well. No to Stroman and Minor. No to Kimbrel, unless he allows the team to use him however they see fit.

    I was aware of that. Actually, his BABIP is .180 now. Exactly 18/100. Last year's top 5 home run hitters had BABIP ranging from .249 - .375, so Rosario is still significantly outside that range.
  14. MMMordabito
    Right now, I would say La Tortuga. He gets the loudest cheers at the games. It really worked out that his DLIL stint took place on a road trip for the most part. It should be Polanco, but Berrios or Eddie could pass him if either signs extensions.
  15. MMMordabito
    Eddie Rosario's career BABIP = .313 Eddie Rosario's 2019 BABIP = .177 There's sacrificing some average for power, and then there is apparently the voodoo version of sacrificing average for power.
  16. MMMordabito
    Polanco now leading the league in AVG, Total Bases, Offensive WAR, and Situational WPA ... Be sure to stuff those ballot boxes, so we can get him in there for All-Star Election Day! It will be tough going against Mondesi, Bogaerts, Correa, and Lindor.
  17. MMMordabito
    How is Mike Minor worth 1 whole win more than Jose Berrios right now? Is a complete game shutout that heavily weighted or something? Is it because he pitches in the Ranger crackerbox?
  18. MMMordabito
    Twins current home run paces: I used 162/35 to get a 4.63 multiplier (probably not the most scientific approach given PA disparity) Kepler - 32 Polanco - 32 Cruz - 32 Rosario - 60 Cron - 32 Gonzalez - 9 Garver - 32 Schoop - 28 Buxton - 5 (69 doubles though) Bench: Castro - 19 Astudillo - 9 Adrianza - 5

    The chaff (Mejia) has been separated since then.

    If the Twins continue to get these types of starts four out of five days, this division won't even be a contest. Who would have thought that it would be Minnesota, and not Cleveland, producing these starts. Speaking of Cleveland, Kluber and Clevinger are out, and now poor Trevor Bauer can't handle being trolled (open season on his timeline the night before his next start?). Can't wait for Odorizzi to get on the bump this Friday!

    I don't back everything in that article, but Trump's treatment of Puerto Rico has been downright despicable. It's one thing to want strong borders and be wary of the effects of uncontrolled mass immigration - however great or small that threat really is, but Puerto Rico is OUR PEOPLE. With no data to back this, I'd bet that if 20% of the resources and effort to acquire resources for the stupid wall were put toward Puerto Rico restoration, they would be up and running and probably even in a substantially better place than before Maria. From a political standpoint, and much to the chagrin of many of us who dislike him, he'd also probably have the love and backing of that whole territory.

    Twins win 5-1 Nick Senzel says, "Who cares about Vladdy's 0-4, 2 Ks?"
  23. MMMordabito
    You can bid on them at the game on May 25th in Cedar Rapids. The Snoopy ones were going for about $125 on Friday.

    I attended the Kernels game once again, so I'll add a few observations. Tyler Palm had a really good evening. He was perfect until Gabe Snyder couldn't handle a simple toss on a bunt attempt that resulted in a little league triple. That runner scored on a sac fly on a beautiful running catch by Pearson in left field. Not sure why Dinkleman pulled him at 4.2 ... It had to be a low pitch count leash or bullpen work schedule related I also got to be reminded that players aren't the only ones learning at this level. The umpire made an interference call against Dayton that resulted in the Dragons' manager being allowed to argue for literally 20-25 minutes. The umpire even left the field for 5 minutes. I'm not sure if it was to read the rule book, review film, cry or take a Xanax. Anyway that umpire needs to learn to take control of his field. Ridiculous. Finally, I had a chance to chat with David Banuelos' father during the game. He was getting a little frustrated with some of the fans in front of us that were trying to get David to throw balls into the stands when he was warming up the relief pitchers. One fan even tried to offer up his single lady friend. That was awkward, since David's wife and infant son we're also there in the stands. David handled it all very professionally, but that has to be frustrating for a parent. I also got to learn that it was much easier for their family when he was in the Seattle org, but they are really grateful for any opportunity he gets.

    Enlow saved my trip to CR from being a complete disappointment (coming down here after Balazovic gets promoted and before Javier shows up). He was consistently sitting at 94-95 with the fastball and dropping hooks that made some hitters look silly. The defense behind him was even worse than the four errors in the box score. It was a treat to watch him but not the rest of the game. Celestino must still be in the top prospects list to make everyone feel better about getting fleeced in the Pressly trade. He's just filler in a string of automatic outs after Chris Williams in the lineup. I hope they turn things around, because this looks like a cellar-dweller team at the moment.
