  1. You have to go with what you got. The bullpen was not overused. It was a 12 inning game. And incidentally, they won. Having the tie breaker against K.C, Detroit and Seattle is a tremendous advantage. Could well come down to that. So, are we having fun yet?🙂
  2. 2 emojis required for this one...haha and sad.
  3. He also went 5 for 5 with RISP! Just a word on Ohtani. For me, the pinnacle of all his achievements had been striking out Mike Trout in the WBC. Truly stunning moment. There are no words, though, for what he did yesterday. Absolutely unreal.
  4. I hear you, but isn't that like cutting off your nose to spite your face? I, too, lay significant blame on ownership for this mess. So frustrating to watch other contenders utilize deadline additions. But I still want the Twins to make the playoffs. Why not? It's a long cold winter. Keep the relevance going for as long as possible, albeit as bleak as it looks.
  5. In 1966, Phil Regan went 14-1 in relief for the Dodgers, and was nicknamed "the vulture", allegedly by Sandy Koufax. Second coming of THE VULTURE. Just keep him away from that sausage...
  6. It is astounding that the Twins somehow still have a 2.5 game cushion for the 3rd wild card spot! Whether there is justification for this is not really relevant. The standings don't lie. I would never "hope" that my favourite team misses the playoffs, even if it's a quick exit. I watched the condensed version (mlb TV) of the Mariners/Rangers game last night. Crisply played. I have a sense that Seattle will sneak in to the post season. Of course, I still want to see the Twins make it; worthy or not. So, go team!
  7. The final two weeks of the regular season are going to be very intriguing and very exciting. It sure beats being out of the playoff picture!
  8. And even that's a stretch! (pun intended) It was nice, though. What happened to his power?
  9. How many pitches will Mr Baldelli allow Mr Lopez to throw? Stay tuned...
  10. Nah. It's indefensible. Rocco appeared to be obsessively making moves. I don't think he should have pulled Julien for Castro either, even though Lynch is a southpaw. The Ober thing was just unfathomable. They've got to be a dispirited bunch. Anyone care to predict the outcome of today's game?
  11. Could he have played centre field, though? Buxton has to do more than walk off a stage. Age is not relevant.
  12. Byron Buxton Ejected from Rehab Game in St. Paul Now there's a headline you don't see every day!
  13. Yeah, me too. I like this new "live for today" philosophy. At this point, they just need to rack up the wins where they can find them. Who knows, maybe Festa will throw 7 innings, or the offence will put up a few crooked numbers early. In any case, yesterday is in the books as a W.
  14. I agree with you. It's rather vague, and subjective. What is the time frame for the "trends"? Pablo is on a 20 plus scoreless inning streak, yet is rated medium impact, along with Matthews (!), as well as SWR and Festa. Huh? The layout is a tad cumbersome, too. I think it should be ditched. G|ive me the concise bullpen usage chart any day. Now that I like!
  15. Nope. Not unless they're fighting for a playoff spot in the final game of the season. He was great last night. I was unable to watch live, as mlbTV blacks out all Jays games for me, so I was listening to radio broadcasts, I had to laugh when Duran came in for the 9th, and Atteberry said " he'll be facing the heart of the lineup". I'm thinking, what heart?... we're talking Guerrero , period. Despite the Jays lineup, it was a dominant outing for Lopez.
  16. Maybe, but in terms of injuries plus not preparing for them (which requires spending), the Twins stand alone.
  17. I hadn't heard. That's very significant for K.C and the Twins. This pun is not really intended, but it's a bit of a break for Minnesota. Slightly less protection for Junior. Hmmm, though there is Salvy. My response was really intended to be about your comments. Thanks for the rational post. Much appreciated.
  18. Yeah, they way they lost last night is like a blueprint for this ugliness. But we soldier on...
  19. Possibly not quite as bad as it looks to me (maybe), but currently the Twins are behind the 8 ball before the games even start. There are just too many leaks to plug right now. Not Rocco's fault. Not Falvey and Levine's fault. That leaves ownership. Anyway, go Twins go.
  20. Interesting premise, Still, it's speculation. I'd like to have Lucas Seehafer weigh in on this.
  21. Well, yeah. But they do even better when he's playing, and Buck is a joy to watch.
  22. And Winder was pitching so well...pity😩
