    Gleeman called this situation very accurately in last week's podcast, Some thoughts: The manager on the field is burdened with having to work with the arms the GM provides The staff has been absolutely snakebit when it comes to injury and illness this year At 356 runs in 77 games (4.6/g), the staff could do with a little more run support to tire opposing bats by keeping them running around the field longer These three things said, going back to 2019 Baldelli (and Johnson, of course) has occasionally shown weakness in his ability to measure out the arms he has carefully enough to get all 27 needed outs. Plenty of room for improvement all around. Right now the only thing the Twins are contending for is an early exit from the wild card round.and

    Pagan has shown he's plenty good. It's the person who told him to toss nothing but sliders who needs to be taken to the woodshed.
  3. VivaBomboRivera!
    So, who called for Pagan to throw one slider after another to the Franimal? Madness.

    Arraez had a bad day, just 1 for 3 with a walk! ?

    Substance free summer. BOO-YAH!
  6. VivaBomboRivera!
    "Carew’s career .328/.393/.429 slash line..." Very difficult to maintain this level of performance over 18 years.
  7. VivaBomboRivera!
    LOB and RISP say there's still work to do...
  8. VivaBomboRivera!
    Wait a minute, we have a rotation...?
  9. VivaBomboRivera!
    The cure for this is offense. We know Chi Chi will do his best.
  10. VivaBomboRivera!
    That was a cleanse.
  11. VivaBomboRivera!
    It was a gift of a hanger, I grant you.
  12. VivaBomboRivera!
    If everybody got fired for having a bad month, we'd all be out of work.
  13. VivaBomboRivera!
    Crazy talk. Correa and Polanco owe him an earned run.

    Box score shows one error. Should be three, but apparently you can't charge both E6 and E4 when a batter only gains one base. Why would you ever spot the Yankees an out, especially when you know the umpires will always find a way to handicap them one? That communication gap is going to have to be smoothed out in the manager's office. Middle and late inning ABs got hasty again. Needed to transition from ambush mode to patience mode. Faulting the pitchers against that lineup of "savages" is misplaced effort. We all saw how well they worked the count. The Twins had them on the ropes, and the defense and offense should have kept them there.

    Toronto and the Rays come to mind...?

    How do we arrive at this conclusion when we look at his game logs? Seems like pretty steady improvement for a guy who pitched less than 20 innings last year. Last start, the guy allowed 1 ER in a 2-3 loss. Is he the source of the Twins troubles? Take a look at his game logs and provide evidence for this assertion. Bundy has had four lousy starts. He's also thrown five games in which he allowed 1 ER or less. Until a better, healthy and more reliable arm comes along, we ought to think about how we can coach more out of his. Today was a blowout, but the fact is over the last seven games, the Twins have scored only 27 runs. RISP over those games is an abysmal: 5-35. It's easy to blame pitchers, but this spotty offense, and those cringe-worthy at bats are the real enemy.

    In spite of that crapulous 5-game series in the Motor City, after taking the first game from the Jays this club is on a 93-win pace. If the club gets healthy, there is good reason to believe they can build on that.
  18. VivaBomboRivera!
    Completed a third of the season today. 93-win team at this pace. Do they get better from here?
  19. VivaBomboRivera!
    How about what gymnasts use for high dismounts/falls?
  20. VivaBomboRivera!
    Maybe the club needs to look into improving the wall padding's ability to absorb impact?
  21. VivaBomboRivera!
    The guy has some pretty impressive clutch splits. Hits particularly well vs LHP.
  22. VivaBomboRivera!
    Feeling better about Son of Flash?
  23. VivaBomboRivera!
    But it sure felt like 30!
  24. VivaBomboRivera!
    Anybody remember a while back when Royals pitching looked like it had a whole lotta upside and just owned the Twins? With a quarter of the season in the bag, that staff is now 15th in the AL in R, ER, ERA and SO, and 14th in H and BB. We caught them at the right time.
  25. VivaBomboRivera!
    Interesting to see him keep dropping that 75 mph curve right in the middle of the zone and watch KC batters keep looking at it. Wonder where they think it's going?
