  1. Biggest winner in the trade is Jax. His odds of winning a Championship skyrocketed by playing in TB.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.... 😀
  4. Gomez broke the Matrix Fri. Twins win 8-6 ( +2) Sat. Twins win 4-2 ( +2) Sun. Twins win 6-4 ( +2)
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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)
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.

  12. Lewis has swung at 15 of 16 pitches. Last three were way off the plate. Why throw a hittable pitch? It's like Lewis is begging to be sent down.
  13. Lar because he’s dealing with upper back tightness.
  14. Lewis has swung at 12 of 13 pitches today....forget St. Paul....send him to the pysch ward.
  15. another bitter pill to swallow. A masterful pitching performance completely wasted by a lineup that went cold when the lights got bright.
  16. That and keeping Varland...Twins could very well be in first place in AL central.
  17. How did Martin walk....steal 2nd...then not score on a double by Lee....? Is mlb GameDay jacked up?
  18. Maybe we nickname Wallner "K-9" 9K's in last 10 AB At this rate, he doesn't need a batting coach; he needs a foster home.
