    Ryan's last start was a prime example of what bad defense can do for the team and the pitcher. A hard hit ball at Lewis, literally at him, not sure how it didn't hit him, not only doesn't he make the turn for a DP to end the inning, he doesn't get a glove on it and it's ruled a base hit. Instead of Ryan being out of the inning at 12-13 pitches no runs allowed he goes on to throw 25 more pitches and gives up 5ER's and is knocked out. This team gives away too many outs, doesn't make many really good plays and the starting rotation pays the price. At times I am in awe of a nice defensive play when those types of plays is what you should expect. Yes errors happen, but overall I hope we get back to a philosophy of above average defense, putting the ball in play and team speed..... with that said, they have exceeded my expectations for the season.... not that I'm buyers at the trade deadline, but they for the most part have been entertaining.

    The mistakes cost Ryan 5 earned runs when it should’ve been a clean inning…. this is pro Leeis’ whiff wasn’t a tough play.. Carantini not challenging a strike to end the inning would have ended the inning.
  3. hitterscount
    Except it would have been a strike….
  4. hitterscount
    You’re kidding i hope. Lewis botches a inning ending DP and Carantini sits on the 3rd strike to end the inning.
  5. hitterscount
    This inning is classic Twins baseball, just a joke on defense and Carantini not challenging a strike to end the inning…. Who pays, the SP. Trade Ryan to a team that can play the right way.
  6. hitterscount
    None of this is on Ryan… should have been out of the inning 15 pitches ago without a run….
  7. hitterscount
    WTF Carantini, use the challenge
  8. hitterscount
    Royce having a rough inning… so bad there it’s ruled a hit…. the standard where if you don’t touch the ball it’s a hit is really dumb.
  9. hitterscount
    Cannot lump all these guys in the same category and handle with kid gloves.... be smart, skip a start here and there, but let him finish the season to build up to no restrictions next season.

    Matthews, the pen, and some solid defense gave them a shot to get a win in the series Monday night, however the vaunted offense was not up to the task against there #5 starter and his 5 plus era. My guess is Ryan will have a nice game, but much like Monday the offense won't do him any favors. Great, Ryan out again.... .500 and the WC is a pipe dream.

    I just can’t believe this is one of the highest scoring offenses in baseball. And there you go… tie game
  12. hitterscount
    Another defensive miss, how can they not turn that DP, the guy running to first was pulling a wagon…. awful defense and obviously not an error, but extends the inning and pitch count.
  13. hitterscount
    I cannot believe we are back to the Wallner discussion…. the guy has been given more rope than he should have. He’s been one of the worst defenders in the league when playing RF and one of the worst bats over the last year. We don’t need him as a LH DH. Larnach and Wallner on the same team is roster malpractice… Larnach has earned his spot. Even if Larnach was traded I wouldn’t bring him up. Call up Roden, send back Fedko and if Wallner continues to hit you might get a Lawerence type of reliever in return.

    I enjoy great defense…. and agree, it often is the catalyst for some offense.
  15. hitterscount
    Beautiful DP.
  16. hitterscount
    Lauer has his ERA under 5…. is that good?
  17. hitterscount
    Especially 91 mph pitches at the belt in the middle of the plate
  18. hitterscount
    Again, you should learn where the ball goes there in 8th grade. The fact Martin is a major league outfielder is amazing.
  19. hitterscount
    We really are into walking the leadoff hitter… biggest crowd of the year? Nice to see butts in seats
  20. hitterscount
    Should’ve clarified, minor league stats… double checked, not great…. did have a good k/rate.
  21. hitterscount
    This guy wasn’t exactly lights out at AAA, swinging at pretty much every pitch makes his life a little easier.
  22. hitterscount
    Nice AB Buck…
  23. hitterscount
    Seizmore working with Larnach is looking like a success. His jumps are noticeably better and he’s more athletic than I realized.
  24. hitterscount
    The old infield in strategy in the second inning……
  25. hitterscount
    Soft tosser that cannot throw strikes, bad combo.
