    Ouch. At least Correa still makes plays look easy at shortstop.
  2. Kummel
    Twins really miss Royce Lewis in the lineup.
  3. Kummel
    Bremmer noted that Correa has hit into league leading 16 double plays. That's a lot.
  4. Kummel
    Gleeman didn't offer an "emotional" response to Pagan, but rather telling stats. At the very least, the story in this data explains why fans are leary. This doesn't look like the profile of a reliever whose struggles are limited to a "disastrous first few months."
  5. Kummel
    Not right then. They might have talked about Stewart earlier in the broadcast though (tuned in late).
  6. Kummel
    Just heard Bremer say Stewart has elbow issues. OH NO, say it ain't so.
  7. Kummel
    Ouch, just got a chance to tune in. The Braves are arguably the toughest competition out there, this series is tough sledding for the Twins.

    This is damning with faint praise, but the Twins have looked worse. At least Sonny Gray had a good game against a great hitting team. And Winder handled the 8th.
  9. Kummel
    Jeffers has really improved his game.
  10. Kummel
    Hey this looks good!

    Cleveland's "Chief Wahoo" logo was cringey (they dropped that in 2018). The bar to me for changing the team's name is: it would be strange to name a new team after a given ethnicity/race.
  12. Kummel
    There is talent on this team, but so many players are seriously underperforming (e.g., many are striking out at much higher percentage than in other years). I don't get it -- and I don't see how you can blame that on a hitting coach -- there are guys on this team who know how to hit professionally.
  13. Kummel
    The 2 games against the Brewers were fun to watch and I was hoping we might get on a roll.
  14. Kummel
    More muscle mass and less flexibility seems to result in more injuries.
  15. Kummel
    Before this series, the bats were quiet. It was awful. Yes, we could have won this game but didn't, and Pagan shouldn't be a relief pitcher. But at least the offense started rolling!
  16. Kummel
    Last season when I saw the team struggle to score runs, I thought -- they REALLY need Arraez. The general sentiment was that a starting pitcher was more valuable (ok), but also that Arraez was easily replaced. Not so. Still, the offense seems much worse than you'd expect, as several folks have noted. I assume the poor group performance is about a team approach to hitting, and that the offense has not slipped into some uncanny MN sports version of the Bermuda Triangle.

    Why this team sends down or benches hot bats (Wallner this time) is a mystery. I thought this year's team had promise but here we are in familiar offensive doldrums. The Twins plodded through last season and this feels like a repeat. Last year I would think -- well, just imagine if we didn't have Arraez... I don't know if plantar fasciitis has been contributing to Correa's woes all season, but clearly something is amiss. Bench Kepler, his heart isn't in it.

    3 Twins Trending Upward

    Kummel commented on Cody Pirkl's article in Twins

    And maybe Jeffers' batting work is starting to really pay off and we are seeing another upward trend develop? One game not a trend, but wow Jeffers hit a bullet last night to win the game and he also had two singles. Maybe he is earning a bigger role especially if Vasquez doesn't return to form.
  19. Kummel
    A clutch hitter in his first game back - just what the Twins need. Congratulations, Mr Lewis!! Kirilloff looks good, too. And Wallner was on base 8 times before being sent down. The young crew have some life to their play -- even as Correa and Buxton are struggling.
  20. Kummel
    I don't get this team. They have a good game, then disappear. The inconsistency is painful. Correa's struggles were well publicized, but Buxton has been a notable dud with runners in scoring position. Here and there someone shows a spark offensively, but then they conk out. Wallner does hit, but is sent back down. With such superlative starting pitching, you'd think the offense would be fired up. Instead, they seem deflated and depressed.
  21. Kummel
    Plantar fasciitis really can be extremely debilitating. You know how you get PT exercises and tail off after a while? I have done exercises daily for years to ward off a return of plantar fasciitis. I sure hope Correa has a mild case.
  22. Kummel
    Love how these guys came back after the first game in the series -- it was tremendous as a fan to see the Twins at Dodger stadium putting together a well played game against Kershaw with small ball. And it's great to see a number of Twins players rising to the occasion -- Ober, Farmer, Taylor. The supporting cast this year is really helping around the edges, key for a top team. The "reluctant lead off hitter" looks like he's off to a good year. Lots of pieces coming together - different ways to win...
  23. Kummel
    After all these years, the starting rotation is fantastic. I don't want to lose sight of that. The offense is lifeless. Hoping for a spark.
  24. Kummel
    He looked good tonight!
  25. Kummel
    Fantastic news. It's early, but things feel different this year on the field - and off.
