  1. If Buxton is on first and the rest of the bases are clear, Kepler should be sitting on pipeshot fastball across his favorite part of the plate, especially with 0-1 outs, until he has two strikes.
  2. A sweep is good medicine for the foul feeling you get after losing a series that you think you should have won. Toronto is hot, and like the old saying goes - "It isn't always who you play, but when you play them." (Can we switch our schedule and go to the Bronx this week?) The Twins bullpen is lacking in depth, but they are still currently tied for the third best record in MLB. Knock on wood, the team is staying healthy since the regular season started. Every team has their issues - some more than others. I'm certainly happy that the Twins don't have the Yankees' IL that's looking to compete with the weight of Johnny Cash's Cadillac title, and it's also nice that they don't have to call career 582 OPS Pedro Severino to pinch hit for career 579 OPS Cedric Mullins when the game is on the line.
  3. “You should not have to spend $6 on a hot dog. To me, that’s crazy.” Wait a minute .... Then don't sell them for that much - anywhere in the ballpark.
  4. I started at 84 wins, but that was based on winning three of these ... I didn't expect a sweep in KC, so I'm down to 83 wins ... Probably not enough for a WC game
  5. Mejia = Better to be lucky than good sometines
  6. That one bothered me the whole game ... Taking Buxton's legs out from under him seemed a poor decision .... Even if Kepler gets himself out, Buxton has a high percentage chance to be on third with the locked-in Polanco at the plate with 1 out ... Hope it is a learning moment
  7. Same. However, having him available for this type of situation is good. Rogers should be good to go to lock down the last two games, if the opportunity presents itself. Send Duffey back down and call the next one in line on the 40-man to eat some innings when their down or up big.
  8. Is it just me or does Morris have this continual tone of disdain for the current day's game?
  9. Way to go Polanco! Still shaking head about over-agressive Kepler Should be 2-rip
  10. I'm not the one in the box, so it's easier to say this from a bird's eye view, but I thought this really came into play last night against Toronto. He was up against a lefty who hasn't been able to hit the broad side of the barn and was just way too aggressive with a 3-0 count and eventually got himself out. Eddie wants to make noise, and it's always a joy when he does, but the game situation being down by two, a walk is as good as anything.
  11. Dobnak doesn't have the prospect shine, but he sure seems to get the job done for this organization. I hope he can keep moving up, pitching his game and find himself with a chance to play at Target Field someday. Please stay healthy, Bailey Ober. It's great to see him come back and pick up where he left off last season when he got hurt. Great to see those Miracle bats coming alive. Hopefully, Javier gets up to CR soon and can inject some energy into that lineup.
  12. Great post. Big picture perspective is often lost every time there is a loss. 92 wins is about what I've seen from the most positive of fans (I predicted 84 myself), so even in that scenario, this is going to happen 65 more times. The Twins will quickly run out of players to DFA and demote or coaches and managers to fire and demean, if the pitchforks come out every single time.
  13. I was thinking that Toronto may end up moving him near the trade deadline ... Might be worth a look .... However, he doesn't have a strong history of lasting long ... History shows he has a max of about 23 starts left this season ... Not sure how much I would give up on that gamble
  14. Tuesday Morning Quarterbacking must be fun for you.
  15. You can't win every game. You also can't use Rogers and Hildenberger every game. With that said, Mejia may be the least watchable pitcher right now.
  16. Way to shut 'em down after your team scored for you, Perez.
