  1. When MLB Hitters get to Tee Off on Minor Leaguers Batting Practice today you score 17. Maybe, just maybe some these guys will continue to wake up and keep it rolling over the weekend
  2. down a quick 1-0 on stolen base, poor throw error on Vazquez resulting in error and runner to 3rd, sac fly. Yeah Twins
  3. I like them compared to some really bad designs: https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/39776958/tracking-mlb-city-connect-jerseys-uniforms
  4. will be at the ballgame tonight as I live in Pgh... looking forward to seeing how they rebound from NY series
  5. Waiting to see if Hans wants to give Kudos to Vazquez for his pitch calling sequences, especially since 2 strike hanging curve to Stanton was blasted into the night.
  6. TBS National Game of the Week broadcast may help you tonight. 5th time the Yankees will be in through June of this year. TBS must be the home away from home broadcast partner
  7. 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.
  8. So now we blame catchers not named Vazquez for pitch calling vs the execution of the pitches by said pitcher.
  9. 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
  10. When will the Sands experiment end? No reason Duran should have to come into this game except Sands said otherwise
  11. Melissa McCarthy as she can be funny in movies and thus this lineup is a joke but not funny
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. 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.
  15. 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
  16. 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.
  17. best chances has him relying on bottom 3rd getting on base, which may not happen
  18. 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
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. Wonder what musical chairs lineup Rocco throws out there tonight?
