    This stuff, right here. I envy that the Red Sox are always seemingly looking to upgrade and improve - their goal is to win championships while sustaining a long term vision. Why can't the Twins do it the same way? They recognize their weakness, and they pursue options to improve that. It isn't a tough model to follow, really.

    We have used Vivid Seats twice over the last month, and have had good success - but I just looked up tickets on their for the upcoming Mets series, and wow...talk about high priced.
  3. SpicyGarvSauce
    Probably went with the 6-4-3 deal too...
  4. SpicyGarvSauce
    Yeah, sorry, but this series is critical IMO.

    Right - on the television, it did look like Odorizzi told them "I am good" and that is when they decided to leave him in there. Obviously what followed makes the decision look even worse. Look at how the 4th inning unfolded though leading up to that grand slam - Sano error (dude is atrocious defensively, let's be honest), a walk, a bloop single by Grossman that I am still surprised Buxton didn't catch (took a bad initial route on it)...and then bam, the grand slam to Herrmann. Baseball is a cruel animal sometimes.

    Ground balls are evil.
  7. SpicyGarvSauce
    That isn't what you said - you said the strikeout is the worst out possible with bases loaded and 1 out. Which, you know, isn't accurate. At all.
  8. SpicyGarvSauce
    Wait, wha?
  9. SpicyGarvSauce
    At least, from the quotes above, that Sano is open to working on and correcting the issues. It is comforting to know he isn't just sticking to his guns, and telling the coaching staff and others to take a hike.
  10. SpicyGarvSauce
    Dingers. Lots of dingers.

    Anyone else think Baldelli sort of mishandled the pen yesterday as far as usage? Why only have Littell go 1 inning? I know he hadn't thrown in awhile, and threw 20 pitches, so maybe they are now fully committed to him being a short relief guy... Thought maybe Gibson would go a second inning as well after he threw just 11 pitches.
  12. SpicyGarvSauce
    Graterol, Rooker, and Gordon too much? Too little? I think I would do that trade if I am the Twins.
  13. SpicyGarvSauce
    Polanco squared numerous times in his PA too - the pitcher just didn't throw a strike, or a pitch that Polanco felt he could bunt.
  14. SpicyGarvSauce
    Yes, I agree - bunting can be good. However, the situation last night was not a good one.
  15. SpicyGarvSauce
    Hm, I haven't seen anything definitive. The reason I ask is because it was a rather popular topic of discussion when Polanco did it last week, and Baldelli was asked about it in the post game and was quite adamant that he did not call for that (Polanco did it on his own) and would never really think of calling for a bunt in that situation (the two situations were exactly the same, 1st and 2nd, 0 out, but maybe an inning earlier this time).
  16. SpicyGarvSauce
    Did we, or has it been confirmed that Rocco called for this bunt?
  17. SpicyGarvSauce
    Anyone seen or been able to come up with a comp for Arraez? Someone that just popped into my head - former Twin...Luis Castillo...?
  18. SpicyGarvSauce
    Looking at it more, yeah, that is too much. Obviously teams think their own pieces/players are worth more than they actually are, which is probably where this comes from; especially since both of those guys would be rentals.
  19. SpicyGarvSauce
    A little late to the party, maybe, on this...but looking around the internet, I came across a SF Giants website that was putting together trade proposals with contenders, etc. Here are some of their proposed deals... To Twins: LHP Will Smith To Giants: SS Wander Javier, RHP Jhoan Duran, 1B/OF Brent Rooker To Twins: LHP Madison Bumgarner, RHP Nick Vincent To Giants: RHP Brusdar Graterol, 2B Yunior Severino, C Ryan Jeffers IMO, that is way too much for Will Smith and probably an okay price for Bumgarner & Vincent...? Thoughts?
  20. SpicyGarvSauce
    Can we all agree that getting Bumgarner would be worth it just for the clubhouse celebration/beer drinking after the Twins win the World Series?
  21. SpicyGarvSauce
    Oh, this definitely passes the "eye test" as well. Stats are a good way to just quantify this.
  22. SpicyGarvSauce
    Particularly in one AB that I recall, he was missing low 90's fastballs...badly. Like, it wasn't like he was facing Chapman or Hicks or anyone that was throwing upper 90's. He just had no absolute idea at the plate last night.
  23. SpicyGarvSauce
    And he struggled against fastballs in the zone - like, couldn't even make contact struggled.
  24. SpicyGarvSauce
    He, like a lot of Twins hitters last night, chased a ton of balls outside of the K zone last night. Granted, that strike zone last night was brutal according to the FSN K zone.
  25. SpicyGarvSauce
    Put Parker on the DL, and call up Smeltzer.
