MIN 9, TB 4: Twins Shell Blake Snell
twinsnorth49 replied to Andrew Thares's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I'll take 3 for 4 and a spectacular routine catch from a bench player all day. He's not playing ahead of those guys. -

Which is the only comparison he was making.
-
Where did you hear that? I hardly think so.
-
The fact that he's whiffing regularly on sub 95mph fastballs is a pretty good indication that his approach needs a reset. He's simply guessing, largely due to his inability to recognize breaking pitches out of the zone, when he tries to sit on them pitchers are busting him on the inner third of the plate and he's behind. Making them come into the zone on him needs to be number one, then he can start just looking fastball, which at that point he should rarely miss. Was he in a hitters count once during the Red Sox series? Falling behind 0-2 or 1-2 every AB is a recipe for disaster unless he can get a little disciplne. As Ted points out though, the Gallo comparison is cause for some hope.
-
Considering only means something if people want to give some consideration, which they usually don't. I agree under the circumstances he showed some good things.
-
I tried complaining more, it didn't work oddly enough.
-
The bus was running, you seen the price of diesel these days?
-
One rough inning, didn't get much help from his outfield defense. He had some good stuff, could be useful eventually.
-
Perhaps but it's not like he was flush with options and no off day before 4 with KC.
-
Wonder what moves more, the ball or Poppen's head during his delivery?
-
Check that....4 full from the Poppen. C'est la vie.
-
Hope Sano can break out a bit against KC, for his game thread safety.
-
If Gibson doesn't go 4 1/3rd the day after a 17 inning marathon, Rocco does not stick with the Poppen for 3 full. No issue with it.
-
Walks in run, 3rd double play to end inning......as expected.
-
It's the only reason he's here.
-
He seems to have lost the feel for his double play ball.....
-
That nasty slider has turned into a nasty hanger.
-
This guy could Poppen in a bit more imo.....
-
He's out. Filthy slider btw.
-
Somebody get that man a qualude.
-
Now he's Poppen!
-
Jack threatened by the smart pitcher.....nice.
-
Sucker pitch....
