    I think many see the thumbs-down symbol as something negative & rude & that is why I avoid using it. IMO to disagree isn't something negative especially if an open debate occurs. I'd like to see the disagree symbol removed & if a person disagrees then open an intelligent debate but if many would like to keep, I suggest changing the symbol.

    I'm sorry Chief you are wrong on this one. If you were able to watch on the replay Martin caught the ball & would have remained caught if not collided with Julien. Although Julien was in the wrong, I give him A for effort & chalk it up as a learning experience. Even though Martin had further to go, he was in a much better position to catch the ball & Julien should have stayed out of his way. as the common rule of thumb indicates. As he gave up early on the 2 high pop flies in RF showed me he had learned his lesson.

    Most definitely Miranda should be at 1B as the RH platoon. But is & should are 2 different things as long as Santana is there he won't. Kiriloff doesn't really affect Miranda.

    Zebby is one step closer. Wallner had a good game but still struck-out twice, still the Mudhens' pitching was pretty awesome.

    Martin caught the ball but the ball was knocked out after colliding with Julien. You always yield to the OFer in a high pop fly in the OF & get out of the way even if you can get to it. Julien learned by letting Larnach have the next 2 in RF. It's a shame that it happened but it was a learning experience for Julien.

    While many disagree in Twinsland, at catching, defense trumps offense. I remember in an interview with Corbin Burns which he says "It takes many months to develop a good working bond with a good catcher". Vazquez has put in the work to establish that & now we see the fruit of it. Thank you Hunter for bringing the importance of his defense to light. Like you said his batted balls will fall in but if it doesn't, his defense will carry him. In many ways he's valuable to the Twins.

    As long as they don't call it a "pitching root canal". Now that would create a negative reaction.

    Thanks for the update. I'll keep a close watch.

    A month ago the fans were asking for the coach's heads. The coaches can't do anything if the approach is wrong. Once the approach was corrected we saw a quick turn around. But you're right that the coaches need credit for incorporating the new approach so quickly.

    Everyone did well on "Pablo Day" especially Pablo. I was impressed by Miranda being an all-around player. We should have swept probably the best rotation in baseball. Great way to start our series with Toronto with a rested BP.
  11. Doctor Gast
    great game guys!

    I was impressed by Miranda. Known more as a slugger, has shown that he's also a hitter, a smart base-runner & not a bad 3Bman.

    So there are no high-leverage RPs
  14. Doctor Gast
    Nice heads up running by Miranda
  15. Doctor Gast
    please explain.
  16. Doctor Gast
    With this commanding lead we can send some lower leverage RPs to mop up
  17. Doctor Gast
    I was wrong I thought it'd be a close game.

    I've been concerned. Kiriloff's hitting approach has been pretty sound so IMO his adjustments should be slight & quick. This slump is taking longer than I'd like. So I'd look at other reasons. I don't think it'd be anything serious.

    Drafting high on pitchers are very risky, IMO it's much more secure letting others start to develop them then filter out those who can succeed & we can tweak. IMO SWR is not truly part of the pipeline. We have seen limited success in the pipeline but have shown very good ability to tweak those who we bring in. I've had faith in SWR not only in his stuff but his drive to constantly adapt & improve. SWR has looked very good so far in the MLB but there'll come a time when the hitters will get to know him. Here I have faith that he'll eventually adjust & continually to do so to become a good SP.

    Keirsey has been impacting AAA on offense & defense. He is at the stage of getting his feet wet on the MLB level. I've said from the beginning I was against the new acquisitions that blocked our guys. Keirsey should have been up by now. It was fun to watch the Wind Surge game, the finale was pretty exciting. Emma's bat has been quiet, what's up? It looks like Soto might take a little longer to develop at this point. Hope Eels's career will be pleasantly shocking. An added note: I'm glad that MLB is giving importance to mental health. Living isn't getting any easier & even in baseball there's a lot of stress & need for mental toughness. Awareness is the 1st step.

    Twins tend to use up their high-leverage RPs all in one shot leaving none every other game. Although they preached a good sense approach of extending RPs they have been lax returning to limit RPs to 1 inning & extending Alcala when they shouldn't. Ober pitched a good game deserving a win the day before but relying on Jackson & Okert in a higher leverage situation was foolhardy. Here today we are left in the same situation having no high-leverage arms available, in what should prove as a close game. I am here again to advocate the need for long relief. Especially w/o Steward, we need to extend Sands a little more & bring up Varland in that role & spot start if need be. Limiting 1 or at most 2 high-leverage RPs leaves us in a better situation to win a lot more games. If there is a concern of excess non-options RPs, trade them, there is some demand.
  22. Doctor Gast
    Love it, I guess I'll have to agree with you. LOL
  23. Doctor Gast
    Agreed Cosetti has a great bat but I prioritize defense more & what I wanted to see for myself was how well Cardenas caught behind the plate.
  24. Doctor Gast
    I have to admit that Cloverdale tangy garlic summer sausage is my favorite luncheon meat even before it became famous.
  25. Doctor Gast
    I was hoping to see Cardenas behind the plate. Cosselli caught, bummer
