    I said 3 weeks ago that if on 9/1 the Twinks were within 4 games, they have a chance and makes the final 5 weeks relevant. 1.5 GB - will stay engaged & hopeful.

    Interesting that runs and consistent threats happening with Buxton out and Polanco sitting.

    This isn't Rocco's philosophy, he is doing what he was hired to do by the front office. They wanted someone who was going to be all in on analytics and follow them no matter what. Otherwise Molitor would still be in charge. He didn't always adhere to what the spreadsheet says. The front office can be from Cleveland, but they didn't bring Tito Francona - he is the difference is this division.

    Somehow be within 4 games of Cleveland on Sept 1.....

    Questions: If Correa finishes this season as it is currently going, will other teams still offer the long term mega-deal? Or will the Twins be stuck with paying $35M for this type of performance?

    A win tonight is a 5-2 homestand. Any team would take that at any time. Looking for a positive

    Pitching staff lately being hurt by free bases to bottom of the order guys. 4 walks to 7,8,9 hitters last night. Same happened v. SD. 2 HBP's in same inning lead to run today.

    So many things that Tom Kelly teams did correctly, that this team doesn't do enough. Every team wins 60, loses 60. This is one of those 42 other games that decides your season. Being able to bunt, not making outs on bases.... ugh!!

    This is 1st 20 game segment were Twins didn't go at least 11-9 (88-72, +2more game). 9-11 since 44-36. 88ish wins should do it, but schedule is tougher the next 60. Still much more enjoyable to be engaged daily and in 1st place, than last year!

    Facts. Twinkie have played more games (94) than anyone in AL. In a stretch of 9 off days in 22 days. Nobody else as well rested. On April 5, fans would take 1st place & a 2 game lead at the All-Star break. Twins tied with Cle for best record in division games (23-19), Next game needs to be like opening day!

    Sano Situation

    teachercoach commented on Doc Munson's blog entry in Fantasy GM

    Move rehab to AAA and see what results are. Need to get mutiliple teams interested, maybe that gets you more value. The 40man roster situation is interesting. This is why FO gets paid the big $$

    Baseball always comes down to pitching. Go back to 6/23 and 1-0 win v. Guardians, that's 13 games in a row where pitching has got thru the 7th inning with 3runs or less. Yes, there were 3 bullpen meltdowns. But continued performance like this leads to consistent series wins. Scoring 8 runs last night with 'A-B-C' going 1-13 is big positive also. Enjoy every day!

    Record = 44-36. That's another 11-9 over 20 games pace. 4 more of those = 88-72 and see if you can get the other 2. This team is the ultimate 'marathon not a sprint' team. Walk-off wins and losses. Been shutout and thrown shutouts. Every team pretty much wins & loses 60 games each. The other 42 determine your success. Hopefully the early season 'kids gloves' approach to starters, pays off the 2nd half.
  14. teachercoach
    Marathon, not a sprint. Every 20 games, try to go 11--9. That's 88-72, then win 2 more. 90-72 lets you play in Oct. Currently 31-23. Next benchmark is 33-27 for me.
  15. teachercoach
    It was a just a matter of how many pitches it would take - but you knew what the final pitch would be.
  16. teachercoach
    Sano w/ leadoff double. Gordon w/ speed, not power. Lead 3-0. Bunt and force defense to defend speed??
  17. teachercoach
    Didn't know who Bill Evers was before the game - now he's undefeated as a mgr
  18. teachercoach
    Early runs, nothing added on . Bullpen can't put up a zero. 1/5 of the season now completed. This is a pattern.
  19. teachercoach
    Trade for a strikeout closer
  20. teachercoach
    Twins must lead MLB in soft ground ball outs. Surely someone that stat. If I recall - didn't many of these guys hit around .100 for the entire spring training? What exactly did they do in Fla??
  21. teachercoach
    I hate this word, CHOKE - but 2Out, RISP and can't come thru HBP - 2 today, both score, walking leadoff hitter in late innings, etc. can't get strike 3 after getting ahead 0-2 can't make routine plays to get the last out have to make major league plays to be a major leaguer. Why it's a hard game for guys that make The Show to stay in The Show hard to conceive the last 2 games are both 1 run losses.
  22. teachercoach
    Twins should not have any home games the first 10 games - weather. MLB should not black out games in neighboring states - less interest/lower ratings. MLB seems intent on slowly destroying their product thru their choices. Need new brains at the top of MLB.
  23. teachercoach
    Twins will be fine when the weather warms up. Don't have a prediction for tomorrow afternoon, but won't be shocked when 'bats come alive' this weekend in SoCal. Yes, I know the other team has to play in it also.... Twins and a few others should start the season on the road for the first 4 series every year. As much as I miss going to live sports, would not have wanted to sit thu that 6hrs today
