    I only voted for Twins in the AL, except for 3B, just because I like Chapman. Will be stuffing every day .... Not that it matters, since way more Yankees and Red Sox fans will do the same.

    Looking through the plays of the FTM game, I see that Enlow induced a bunch of grounders to go with his Ks. It must be nice having a better defense behind you. I won't be surprised if Enlow launches now. He certainly has the stuff.

    Baldelli stated during his interview that the current plan was for Smeltzer staying with the team and getting another start. I suppose it will be at Cleveland. I suppose the plans could change too.

    You might be on to something. Value is very high right now.
  6. MMMordabito
    Haha ... Good joke.

    How about keeping Yelich to one sac fly RBI in the series! Go Twins!

    Detroit tried that and then Perez adjusted and started mixing in more change-ups. As much as the cutter has been lauded, he actually has a couple more developments that have led to his success this season. Fastball velo is up as well.

    O/U up to 10 (from 9.5) and Minn to -110 (from -115) for the game tonight .... Vegas didn't like Smeltzer replacing Perez

    I do a lot of indoor and outdoor rock climbing and sustained a shoulder impingement injury a couple years ago. I had to shutdown and received a lot of soft tissue work using the active release and graston techniques. Ice and rest were the biggest relievers. It took about six weeks and then another two or three weeks of easing back in. I'm nowhere near the athlete that these ballplayers are, so I'm hopeful on this one for Graterol. Then again, the climbing moves I attempt are nothing compared to throwing baseballs 85-100 mph 100-200 times (including warmups and throwing programs) every five days.

    Typical Twins fans ... Lose one game and start looking for someone to beat up on (Rogers, Astudillo, Diaz) ... Still the best team in baseball

    F Baldelli for pulling Odorizzi at 5.1 ... I would have won 13-1, instead of 12-1 in fantasy this week!!! Just kidding, I'm sure he wants to keep him fresh to go down and dominate his old mates. It's so fun ramming the White Sox. Anderson getting his bat-flipping hands knocked out of the series was icing on the cake!

    Correction 2.81 ... Forgot the HBPs

    Berrios' FIP for this game = 1.91
  15. MMMordabito
    My take is that Berrios navigated some extra outs and tough luck grounders until that luck evened out on a nice fielding play by his first baseman. He then went on to shutdown the Sox for 3.2 until his pitch count met a single when May was ready. Not shaky.

    Remember when either Gordon or Gonsalves, but not both, was a position. It's funny how prospect stock changes.

    No Stroman ... Don't need Captain Eggshell Ego in the clubhouse
  18. MMMordabito
    Especially if someone like Syndergaard was made available.
  19. MMMordabito
    Yeah, the Twins are doing a good job of keeping the Judas Cradle in the corner of the garage.

    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."

    Haha ... Hildy? .... Did the batting practice pitcher sustain an injury of some kind?
  22. MMMordabito
    No kidding ... He couldn't even beat out ".573 OPS in Single-A" Celestino
  23. MMMordabito
    Agree. Just please not Stroman. Don't need that short fuse clubhouse cancer infecting the obvious camaraderie that this group has.
  24. MMMordabito
    Another team, another season series win. Still 65 games left against the ALC. This is shaping up to be a fun summer.

    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.
