    I sense a morale failure at this point.....
  2. Steve71
    Like I said, we will need a dozen to win this game....

    Riding the dragon letting Bundy keep pitching.....
  4. Steve71
    That was such a beautiful play to save a run....Darnit!
  5. Steve71
    Pretty clear he forgot how many outs there were after the long inning and then the pitching change. I believe it is SOP for base coaches to make contact with runners on base after a delay like that to remind them of the number of outs. Not clear if that was done here or not, but should be. Too bad, might need that extra run to be sure vs. this lineup.

    And they PULL COLE. Wow, that is something I never, ever thought I would see.

    Twins are a freakin' JUGGERNAUT right now. Keep scoring. We may need at least a dozen to win this game.

    Bundy better send a case of Scotch to that home plate ump after that AB with Donaldson.....
  9. Steve71
    Buxton seems to hit Cole pretty well....:)

    Frickin' Bundy. Gives the lead right back on a platter to Gallo, who has been completely terrible this year.
  11. Steve71
    I know this is an utterly visceral observation, but Larnach just looks so darn calm and confident at the plate now. I think that carries over to his play in the field, too.
  12. Steve71
    Celestino needs to catch that ball. Difficult play, but ball hit him right in the glove. Would have been a double play as Hicks was already to 2nd base. CANNOT give loaded teams all the extra outs and extra bases without getting penalized....
  13. Steve71
    Certainly this is a better team than last year, just disappointing they appear to be completely on a different level from the top teams in baseball. The rich get richer, Man, this league needs a real salary cap and floor like the NFL....

    Duffy needs a vacation. Twins are simply not as good as the Yankees, the Dodgers, and the Astros. (Probably not vs. the Mets, either). Not fun to accept, but that is the reality. We don't have the talent of these teams, not even close.

    Now add: Correa (CV-19) to 10-day DL Sheesh!
  16. Steve71
    I was curious as to when some of the players could come off the DL and looked at the ESPN list of those currently on the DL for the Twins. Note that a few of these players are Day to day vs. formally on the DL: Josh Winder Royce Lewis Tim Beckham (AAA) Sonny Gray (so far, day to day) Max Kepler (ditto) Gary Sanches (more ditto) Danny Coulombe Gilberto Celestino Jorge Alcala Joe Ryan Edouard Julien (AAA, day to day) Cody Stashak Chris Paddack Miguel Sano Jhon Romero Blayne Enlow (minors, day to day) Kent Maeda Randy Dobnak Plus 3 other minor leaguers day to day. That seems like a MASSIVE number of injuries piling up. 2 of these of CV-19 (Ryan and Celestino), so hopefully they come back well and soon. Rocco is going to earn his salary this next 18 games in 17 days trying to cobble this all together. Pray for rain!

    I have not seen a side angle of the collision with the wall. However, it looks like he was running full speed and then slammed his left shoulder into the wall while his weight was loaded on his right leg and knee. This transmitted tons of force down on the tibial plateau (the floor of the knee joint formed by the union of the tibula and fibula). Think of it this way. When you simply walk up a flight of stairs you are putting 4-5 times your body weight worth of force on your knees with each stop. Multiply that by many more when running full speed and then hitting a basically immovable object. Hope he heals fully and quickly, but it will be July until he is going to be playing again in all likelihood. Hope it is sooner!

    Twins deserved to lose that game. Zero clutch hitting--and some bad luck on some balls that were smoked, and let a poor team hang around and win. Does ANYONE like the extra inning format that last 2 years. It is complete horsebleep. Cannot believe MLB lets games be decided this way. I am glad it did not matter here.
  19. Steve71
    2 observations: 1) I like the YouTube announcing duo. They do a nice job. 2) Twins should have at least 6 runs right now, and they are risking letting this one slip away. Need to close the deal.
  20. Steve71
    This young man looks completely comfortable facing MLB pitching. So impressive. Play Lewis at 3B when Correa comes back? How can you send him back down?
  21. Steve71
    Dodgers and Astros series (so far) have confirmed that Twins are not competitive with top teams----yet. Twins hitters 3 for 21 with RISP in this series. Not going to get it done against anybody.....
  22. Steve71
    Big strike zone with this ump, very wide on outside. Tough to defend that.
  23. Steve71
    Urshela is only signed for 2022 at $6.5M. Logical move would be to promote Lewis when appropriate and let him play every day at 3B and giving Correa some days off at SS. Urshela and Miranda can back up 3B. Urshela might be trade candidate if Lewis flourishes at the MLB level.
  24. Steve71
    Great inning. Especially impressed with Polanco and Kepler AB's. Great hitting.
  25. Steve71
    Great swing by Polanco from the right side. Solid contact.
