    Twins have played the 8th toughest schedule to date while Cleveland has played the 29th easiest schedule to date. Now with about 100 games left or so, Twins will have the 24th easiest route vs Cleveland having the 8th. Strength of schedule will impact the outcomes for sure. https://powerrankingsguru.com/mlb/strength-of-schedule.php Another website view shows this for remainder: With all this being said, I still like our chances to finish in a playoff berth and may very well win the division. Cleveland has been very good and maybe they can hold serve. August and September could be a blast if Twins stay healthy can take series after series.

    So now we blame catchers not named Vazquez for pitch calling vs the execution of the pitches by said pitcher.

    We are in the "proverbial" drivers seat as of today: If playoffs started today, the narrative of worst division in baseball AL Central doesn't look awful: Granted long season to go, I like our chances with 106 game to go

    When will the Sands experiment end? No reason Duran should have to come into this game except Sands said otherwise

    Melissa McCarthy as she can be funny in movies and thus this lineup is a joke but not funny
  6. umterp23
    But Chief it was written as a booming 2-strike double! How dare we question the MLB scorekeeping (sarcasm at my best). I agree an ERROR all the way and our OF play is quite bad, bad news bear bad

    will be at the Guardians Game Saturday night to see the Twins battle in Cleveland. Daughter graduates college on Sunday. Good 2 for 1 trip

    AB's are somewhat deceiving in talking workload. Position in lineup, inning to inning turnover of the lineup (is the team a good hitting team and scoring a bunch of runs). I would rather look at games played, position played etc. vs strictly AB's. Work load for some guys is something to pay attention but I don't believe we should be concerned at moments time. Ride your best players until the need a day off and if so, schedule one knowing you may have a travel day next day as well.

    Rolling out Margot in 5 hole batting .171, Farmer in 7 hole batting .147 and Vazquez in 8 hole at .182 isn't quite the murderers row we are going with vs Yankees in game of series. Ouch, pretty putrid. The pinch hitting Lefties will start getting ready in the 4th in I guess

    Lineup is out and Jeffers is DH
  11. umterp23
    Can we package Wallner & Martin for a strong bullpen arm? Martin isn't good in the outfield and where will he play in the infield? Wallner is redundant in OF since Castro can cover multiple spots and Kepler playing really well at moment. I don't see either one of them helping us this year at all.

    best chances has him relying on bottom 3rd getting on base, which may not happen
  13. umterp23
    Jeffers leading off again, which is truly surprising... So leader on the team in RBI's, HR's and other metrics and Rocco has him leading off, when his RBI opportunities relies on 3 weak links batting 7,8,9 in order. So let's say they get to LHP Kikuchi for Blue Birds of the north, they go a righty and are going to pinch hit Jeffers with a lefty? I don't think so

    Will be a nice problem to have once Lewis comes back, but for now enjoy the ride with what he has provided. AK is a dumpster fire at the moment and doesn't appear to getting better anytime soon.
  15. umterp23
    Duran hasn't been a great 2-inning closer from what I can remember, could very easily be wrong. Rehab assignment is 1 inning of work. Don't like the idea, but hey don't like what mgmt has done with this team over the last few months either.

    Sweep x2 ... Let's go Twins
  17. umterp23
    There might be something to this logic for sure. In my playing days of college baseball, we had a sophomore pitcher for us who could hit upper 90's, big, tall, strong kid. In a fall scrimmage inter squad game fastball got away from him and his pitch broke a teammates jaw and nose. The pitcher no matter how many times he tried, had a tough time throwing fastball strikes and was relegated to the bullpen. The hitter in the spring who ironically was our starting 2nd baseman, never hit above .150. Both of the careers kind of went south as Juniors, especially the pitcher. It was tough for both them and maybe just maybe, Farmer can work through it.

    Wonder what musical chairs lineup Rocco throws out there tonight?
  19. umterp23
    I like the Farmer version from last year and it is baffling how night and day difference this year is for him. Tough to watch, can't say a bad word about the guy and hope that something triggers the light to turn on and he breaks out of this massive slump to the season.
  20. umterp23
    4 - 9 hitters all below Mendoza, ouch
  21. umterp23
    why no Miranda @ 3rd vs Farmer?
  22. umterp23
    So what happens and let's hope we have this scenario if players are playing well... Miranda has found his stroke and stays a .250+ hitter with occasional power. Lewis comes back from injury, might be 6 weeks still but lets say it is faster. Miranda goes to 1st full time, Kiriloff goest to Left, Kepler stays in right. Martin gets sent down but has shown he can handle back up duty? Who stays and who gets benched?
  23. umterp23
    $10MM per year is the starting point, all other comments from above are valid. Farmer while not doing in such a long time was touted as an emergency catcher option. So theoretically, Carmargo isn't needed
  24. umterp23
    fitting end by stellar bullpen!
  25. umterp23
    On the bench we have Camargo .000, Santana .125 and Vazquez .133
