  1. Yeah, and I good throw by Kreidler -- threw a big hop to Caratini on the correct side of the plate to make a tag.
  2. "Oh, the humanity! The turkeys are hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement!"
  3. What song on it would you say applies the most to Twins fans? I'm going with ... "Misery."
  4. Martin leads the team in walks and OBP. I would go: 1.Martin, 2.Buxton, 3.Larnach, 4.Jeffers, 5.Lee, etc. ... and then 9. Kriedler as a secondary leadoff guy.
  5. I agree about Coors Field -- spectacular views. The Pirates' ballpark is very nice. It's hard to beat Fenway Park for the history, the quirky dimensions, the Green Monster, the Pesky Pole, etc.
  6. If the system is "not designed to produce relievers" (quickly or otherwise) then it's a really bad system.
  7. Back in the day a closer was a fireman. We have an arson squad.
  8. Good analysis, thanks. I'd be happy if our other fielders just got to all the catchable balls 90% of the time (as Byron does).
  9. Ryan mowing down a decent lineup. But no run support.
  10. Beat case starting rotation (which may never come to pass) of Lopez, Ryan, Taj, Abel, and Prielipp would be fun to watch ... if we could just catch the ball behind them.
  11. I agree that there is no team identity. But that's mainly because the team is not good. Not enough power to be a Bomba Squad; not enough speed to run the bases like the Brewers; not enough good fielders to be a pitching and defense team like the Guardians. We need more talent before we can choose a course by then filling in around the margins, IMHO.
  12. Must be nice to have a reliever who throws 99 MPH ... you're saying we had three of them last year?
  13. with the lack of hitting this game is really moving along. Not even two hours and we're in the bottom of the 8th.
