    Ballgame.
  3. SwainZag
    Sit him down Rogers. End this thing.
  4. SwainZag
    Well he hammered that
  5. SwainZag
    JORGE!
  6. SwainZag
    Yes, that's what happened, but using Duffy and Rogers to begin the inning burns them anyways. Don't use them unless it's necessary, they have 7 more games in a row.
  7. SwainZag
    If they acquire a reliever you gotta assume they will be using prospects and not major league pieces.
  8. SwainZag
    Hopefully 3.......K and a K.

    Robles went yesterday. Why waste Duffy and Rogers in a 5 run game? No off day until Monday.
  10. SwainZag
    Safe baby! Be okay Arraez....

    Looks like we get to see Kyle up close and personal Tuesday night. I imagine he gets a nice ovation from the Target Field fans.
  12. SwainZag
    I agree. He was in control most of the day, only walked 1 and the slider was superb. Dozier did take advantage of Jose missing his spot pretty badly which resulted in the 3 on the board, but other than that I thought he was pretty sharp.

    If you are in the hunt for the division/playoffs/world series you do not trade players for prospects at the deadline.

    Nice of you to join us this season Mitch!

    Buxton needs a triple for the cycle and we are in the 4th inning.
  16. SwainZag
    Damn, you can't hit a ball much harder than that. Tough break, Alex.
  17. SwainZag
    Well....that could have been worse.

    As for Colome, it was a lot of pitches but the cupboard was pretty bare after the pen through 4+ innings yesterday and Colome was the 5th reliever today. My only question is why was Duffy used in the 4th inning? If the starter is going to go 3, why not use someone who can go more than an inning that early...like Smeltzer and save Duffy in case you need him later. With Donaldson's calf issues I find it defensible that he would get run for there. I get taking his glove out was a risk, but I would rather see that than having your 35 year old, $23M dollar player re-aggravate or re-injury himself trying to score from 2nd or some collision at the plate when it was avoidable. It's April. I'm not sure where you are getting your numbers, but Blankenhorn has a lot more experience at 2B than he does 3B. 1900 defensive innings to 1200 in the minor leagues, and using advanced fielding stats he is a lot better at 2nd than 3rd. Yes, Arraez doesn't have a whole lot of experience at 3rd, but it was a throwing error. If Blankenhorn can't field routine grounders in the majors, maybe he doesn't belong here. Using Rocco as a scapegoat for 2 routine fielding plays is a reach for me.

    I don't think anyone is looking for a "savior." Buxton, Cruz have been absolutely raking....while Arraez has been very good. Donaldson and Simmons have both missed nearly half the games so far. Even with Polanco, Sano and Garver stumbling out of the gate the Twins are Top 6 in the MLB in all AVG/OBP/SLG/OPS.....which is pretty astounding after the double header shutout this week. They are 2-6 in 1 run games thus far and 0-4 in extras, neither which are sustainable. This team is better than it's 6-11 record. They have a run of beatable opponents in the next 16 games.
  20. SwainZag
    Field a routine groundball and the Twins win the game. Rocco didn't play a good game, but man the players need some accountability.
  21. SwainZag
    I'm amazed that Arraez can throw 125 foot strike popping out of a slide last night, but air mailed a routine throw across the diamond that bad.
  22. SwainZag
    They scored 3 runs on no hits. Unbelievable.
  23. SwainZag
    Speechless.
  24. SwainZag
    Clench the cheeks and look away.
  25. SwainZag
    It's pretty difficult to keep a runner from scoring in that instance. When you don't even need a hit to win a ballgame, I'll blame the overly poor rule over the bullpen.
