  1. OK, I'm a skeptic about Sanó's homer yesterday. 350 foot homers to the opposite field don't tell me he's found something. Time will tell.
  2. Get that run back. Home runs are allowed, but I'd like to see several players contribute to a multi-run inning.
  3. I don't think Simmons tagged him until Chapman had touched the bag.
  4. Made-to-order GDP. Perhaps the worm is turning finally.
  5. Important for Maeda to have a good outing.
  6. Despite only being 2-15, I think Larnach is swinging better than Kepler. Anyone else surprised by the starting catcher this afternoon?
  7. Who get the start on 5/20. I wonder if Thorpe will get another shot that day.
  8. Good perspective when the Twins are struggling. Not sure that Oakland and San Francisco can both have big league teams and have them both succeed. Just my opinion.
  9. Unless Sami’s confidence is rebuilt by a 345 foot homer, I don’t think he’s out of the woods. However, something like this could really help the team. Is it possible that Columé has found something that can make him an effective reliever? I’m not convinced, but they don’t have many choices.
  10. Big win for the club, but it won’t be worth much if they don’t play well tomorrow.
  11. Hey! A win when they trailed by more than one run.
  12. I didn’t want to look when Donaldson threw the ball to first.
  13. I guess Rocco didn’t want the rookie against Diekman. I was really surprised that he didn’t pinch hit Larnach.
  14. Ex-Twins Trevor Hildenberger and Ildemaro Vargas both DFAed today.
  15. Another opportunity to come back from a more than one run deficit. How is that for positive thinking?
  16. Yes, I agree Chief. All of the ace talk and his being referred to as an All-Star really overstate what he has accomplished. He's been slightly above average in his career (104 ERA+).
  17. I'll stand by what I've said in earlier discussions of this team. There is talent here and the record should be better. The pieces do not fit together at all. The Twins have a host of LH hitting corner OFs and two second basemen, one of whom is being used in a super-utility role. They have a bullpen where the vacuum at closer has made all the complementary parts worse. They lack speed and on-base skills. They have a lot of veteran players, many in their walk year, who won't be part of a solution in the coming years.
  18. Well, since they haven't been able to overcome even a two-run lead....yeah it feels like it is really uphill to rally.
  19. Starting with the end (bullpen), the pieces of this club just don't fit together.
  20. Leadoff walk. Ugh. Shoemaker doesn't have much margin for error, even with the bottom of the order.
  21. Okay. The Twins are flawed, but they’re better than a .350 club. Eventually they’ll somewhat break out of it. I’d rather watch them win than lose, but I am holding no illusions that they can challenge Chicago.
  22. The one thing I’m certain of is that the people most likely to go maskless are the people least likely to be vaccinated. For my part, when I attend a Twins game I will continue to wear a mask in such settings.
