    Paredes middle name is Exodus! I wonder if he’s going to need a 40-day wandering in the minors just to lower that ERA.
  2. Sjoski
    We've possibly have seen the last of the Pride of Forest Lake....at least in MLB.
  3. Sjoski
    Only the Twins...can begin a 10 game road trip 3-0. Only to turn it into a 4-6 skid....after Pirates sweep tomorrow.
  4. Sjoski
    So......the Twins starting pitching is thin, the bullpen is weak, yet, some other team will certainly make room for SWR?
  5. Sjoski
    If there is even a season. Both sides are apparently building massive war chest of cash to survive a strike. A team like the Twins, in developmental phase...gets hurt by the strike more than others.

    Even after sweeping Boston, I refused to jump on the "things are going better than expected bandwagon".... Twins are back to normal.
  7. Sjoski
    I don’t know....whomever was swinging the bat as TC Bear in the MetroDome days could really smash.

    The player I always compare Lewis to is Bobby Witt Jr. Lewis #1 2017 draft Witt #2 2019 draft Both five-tool high school shortstops drafted at the top of their class.... but that were the comparison ends.

    I'm slow to jump on the bandwagon. My brains won't adapt to: "at least we aren't buried in the basement" mentality. But agreed, they are much playing better than expected.

    Biggest winner in the trade is Jax. His odds of winning a Championship skyrocketed by playing in TB.
  11. Sjoski
    It was rather cryptic I admit... I saw the pattern of each team scoring and even number of run....then Gomez choked it...but hey....a sweep is sweet.
  12. Sjoski
    Oh I agree totally....if it wasn't for those 3 eye seeing singles up the middle, he's likely back in Toledo by the weekend and never makes his way to Cooperstown either.... 😀
  13. Sjoski
    He sure did....after his first 100 at bats in MLB...he had 37 hits.
  14. Sjoski
    Where did i say what year it was?
  15. Sjoski
    Re-read the original post.

    Gomez broke the Matrix Fri. Twins win 8-6 ( +2) Sat. Twins win 4-2 ( +2) Sun. Twins win 6-4 ( +2)

    I am not tracking with you. Puckett went for 4 for 5 in his first game in major league baseball.... never returned to the miners , not even for a rehab. I was at the game in L.A.
  18. Sjoski
    Agreed... but as Twins fans, we’re only ever one of three things: Delusional Depressed Distracted by memories of 1987 and 1991 because the present hurts too much.
  19. Sjoski
    May Gabby make it impossible for the Twins to even think of sending him back to AAA.... like Puckett in '86. ( it was actually in '84)

    Not to mention they have let guys like Brent Headrick, Jeff Hoffman, and now Bowman walk out the door for absolutely nothing, yet they are fiercely protecting and keeping guys who are actively throwing gasoline on the fire: Luis García: He is sitting on a horrifying 10.38 ERA. Every time he takes the mound, it feels like a mandatory three-run rally for the opposition, yet his spot on the major league roster is apparently written in stone.

    Two words: Upgraded Wallner
  22. Sjoski
    Topa had one really poor outing that pretty much inflated his era.....not speaking in his defense.....but....I anticipate he will land somewhere else and possibly performs well....... It's how the Twins roll. Anyone remember this sad saga? 2009 The Twins designated Craig Breslow for assignment in May of 2009 to call up fellow left-handed reliever Sean Henn. The Oakland Athletics quickly snatched him up off waivers on May 20, 2009. It ended up being a tough loss for Minnesota's bullpen, as Breslow went on to have a fantastic run in Oakland, appearing in 60 games for the A's that season with a stellar 2.60 ERA. Henn pitched a handful ( 11) of innings and was DFA'd himself. Breslow pitched for 12 years in MLB...—not to mention picking up a World Series ring with the Red Sox in 2013.

    Meanwhile, yesterday in Detroit, the Blue Jays win 2-1 in extra innings. They don't turn to a high-priced closer or a panic-button waiver claim. They call on Varland. And what does he do? He goes out there for two masterful, scoreless innings of relief. He gives up a couple of hits, but he strikes out two, locks the Tigers completely down, earns the Win in a 2-1 thriller, and lowers his season ERA to an absolutely jaw-dropping 0.38. "Think about that for a second, baseball fans. A point-zero-eight ERA over twenty-two appearances. Meanwhile, back here in Minnesota, the bullpen doors open up every night like a revolving door at a department store, letting in whatever warm body happens to be available.
