  1. Hope Berrios found his rythym, Jeffers looked good behind plate-hitting a bonus. Solid defense and bats starting to come around, In first place with all pitching injuries and now Berrios and possibly Odo hittimg their stride with Pineda coming back soon.
  2. I see small hitch in Sano's swing, seems to bring hands forward then back while pitch on its way and sometimes cannot get there fast enough instead of starting with hands back and just going forward to ball. On your point on bat, I agree. Many players in past have used heavier, longer bats, very successfully. Worth a try.
  3. Like closer by committee, situational based, Rocco used Rogers in 8th the other night with couple LH hitters coming up. Put Duffy in the mix, I am not as confident on Romo as some of the other posters.
  4. Looks like HIll/Thorpe combo tonight. What I thought interesting last night was Rogers has pitched 8 innings coming into last night. Meada pitched 8 last night. Relievers have become one inning, every other day pitchers. What happened to multiple inning relievers. Teams are benefitting from expanded rosters this year but will need to make adjustments next year.
  5. Every team has a #1 starter, but not every team has an Ace. I would say the Twins don't have an Ace.
  6. I think Rowson was an under estimated part of last year's success. With that said, Sano will come around. It will just take time.
  7. Rooker for the reasons rdehring states. Not a Wade or Astudillo fan, good to have as back up to the back up but would be in trouble if either had to play significant time. Cave is who he is- a 4th OF on a good team, maybe a starter on a average to bad team.
  8. Nice article, I really like Dobnak. He can really pitch and is a great underdog to root for. Should be a solid pitcher for the Twins.
  9. Great series win, many contributions by many players. Hitting still spotty,but if pitching holds up, watch out when bats heat up.
  10. I know it is only 2 games, but Maeda looks awesome. Is it too early to get excited? FO made some great moves this offseason, wish we had a full season to see resulys.
  11. Hope Berrios has his good stuff tonight, Indians look tough this year.
  12. Twins bullpen stacked. Really like May, hope Twins able to keep him next year.
  13. Maeda looked great today, really excited about him.
  14. Not a fan of 16 teams in playoffs. Playoffs are too long already, weather with north teams a factor. MLB should just be happy they are getting a season in and not get greedy. Thought same for NBA, should have had top 4 from each conference play shorter playoff.
  15. Love how Twins are willing to look out of the box to improve, not just relying on traditional methods.
  16. With Hill and Bailey probably being one year players and Odorizzi only signed for one year, should be room for young pitchers next year, Good pool to pick from-Smeltzer, Thorpe, Dobnak, Duran, Chalmers, and Alcala. FO has done great job of picking up young talent and developing players.
  17. Really like Wes Johnson, has been great addition to coaching staff.
  18. With shortened season, each game takes on more importance. Will be less time to let a guy work through some issues. With expanded roster, can see more pitchers used but if don't perform will give someone else opportunity.
  19. Everything on the table for possible changes given present situation. I want universal DH. Expansion great, will bring probable realignment and schedule changes. Decrease season game total, decrease travel for teams, extra-inning change, roster/IL changes, minor league revamping. Many possible changes coming.
  20. Everyone will be tested multiple times a week, so chance to be exposed to someone positive on the field is very small. I agree with "some guy", there is more chance to get exposed to virus going to get your groceries than likelihood of a MLB player getting exposed playing baseball. I am fine with if some players opt to not play, but let the others play. There will already be an asterisk on this season.
  21. Great time to make some changes on a "temporary basis", if successful keep permanent. I like the DH rule, or go without DH, but make it consistent league wide. Realignment, reduction of games, extra inning changes, roster expansion, electronic ump, replay (I want reduced) all on the table.
  22. Hope for season this year, resume spring training for a few weeks in late May, June. Then have games in home stadiums without fans, do screenings and social distancing as able.
  23. Great blog, need my sports fix for the day. Totally agree with your assessment, much less risk, to MLB sooner. It has worked for Cleveland.
