    6-4. Ugh.
  2. stringer bell
    Reminds me of a game vs. Seattle last year. Masters Sunday, big lead and then we’ll, Columé blew it in the ninth IIRC.
  3. stringer bell
    At this rate the Twins win 24-0 and Buxton hits 8 homers…..I’ll settle for 12-3 with a no-pressure 3 inning Winder save.
  4. stringer bell
    Too many pitches in the first inning for Ober.

    Thanks for the great work! Where ex-Twins go and how they perform is a constant interest of mine. Most of the time, I have no problem with a player doing well and I don’t blame the Twins often if the players thrives. Once in a while, there’s an obvious mistake by the front office.

    I imagine Celestino will get a start today. He could replace Kepler, Kirilloff or Sano. My guess would be that Kirilloff gets the day off. So far, Buxton, Correa, Polanco, Sano and Kirilloff have combined for two hits in two games. That won't continue.

    Rogers (not Rodgers) was traded. Duffey (not Duffy) is now the Twins longest serving relief pitcher. Both have been around long enough to properly spell their last names.
  8. stringer bell
    Need to score now! Buxton, Correa, Polanco.
  9. stringer bell
    Wow! And that was the heart of their order.
  10. stringer bell
    The kid might be a bit nervous.
  11. stringer bell
    Really excited to see Duran.
  12. stringer bell
    I hope Kirilloff doesn't start this season 0-20.
  13. stringer bell
    Who had Urshela hitting the first homer for the Twins? We can see why Rocco had him hitting cleanup.
  14. stringer bell
    One good opportunity wasted.
  15. stringer bell
    Must be tough to hit when the pitcher is in the sun and the hitter is in the shadows.
  16. stringer bell
    Here we go. Two on for the best three hitters on the team!
  17. stringer bell
    Really nice play by Correa.
  18. stringer bell
    Ryan hasn't been sharp with his command. He hasn't left many in the middle except the one to Haniger.
  19. stringer bell
    More broken bats than hits. Surprisingly no Ks for the Twins. Of course, the bottom half of the order is when there the K percentages are really high, especially against a lefty.
  20. stringer bell
    Is if too soon to call for Ryan to be sent to St. Paul?
  21. stringer bell
    Good thing he's got size 14s.
  22. stringer bell
    We're going to lose the first challenge of the season on the first play of the season.

    I think this trade shows a lot about the Front Office's philosophy. After the debacles of Addison Reed and Alex Colume, they aren't going to pay market price for relief pitchers. We've also seen a reluctance for long-term deals (most likely why Berrios was traded). After losing the entire starting rotation from Opening Day of 2021 (trades, injury, free agency, ineffectiveness), they have replenished mostly by trading (Gray, Ryan, Paddack) and low-cost bounceback contracts. The bullpen is a work in progress, especially since the pitching staff will need to be trimmed by three from their current total of 16 pitchers. There seems to be a bit of conceit in this approach, that the Twins can make a competitive bullpen and pitching staff out of low-cost pieces. Maybe the front office is right, but color me skeptical.

    Here's my list of active MLB players who actually played a regular season game for the Twins: Liam Hendriks (CWS), Jonathan Schoop (DET), Robbie Grossman (DET), Rich Hill (BOS), Hansel Robles (BOS), Josh Donaldson (NYY), Marwin Gonzalez (NYY), Aaron Hicks (NYY), JT Chargois (TAM), Matt Wisler (TAM), José Berríos (TOR), Jake Odorizzi (HOU), Jason Castro (HOU), Niko Goodrum (HOU), Kurt Suzuki (LAA), Sergio Romo (SEA), Martín Pérez (TEX), Mitch Garver (TEX), Eddie Rosario (ATL), Trevor May (NYM), Eduardo Escobar (NYM), Kyle Gibson (PHI), Nelson Cruz (WAS), Sean Poppen (ARI), Alex Columé (COL), Tyler Kinley (COL), CJ Cron (COL), Brusdar Graterol (LAD), Taylor Rogers (SDP) and Zack Littell (SFG). Several ex-Twins started the season the the Injured List included Andrelton Simmons, Ben Rortvedt, LaMonte Wade Jr., Ehire Adrianza and Lance Lynn, Brent Rooker is not listed on San Diego's active roster, so he must have been optioned to AAA.

    It seemed that the only guy Rocco trusted to go long was Berrios. I think there is/was justification for such an approach. In addition he dealt with a dozen starts from Ober in which the innings were going to be limited no matter how effective he was. If the veteran guys pitch well when fully stretched out, I expect he'll let them go a bit. I really don't think there won't be many longish outings in April with the short spring training and the expanded pitching staff.
