  1. No, but when you are sitting on your 1st 3 game losing streak of the year, the Indians are white hot and on your ass and Rogers has thrown 8 pitching in 6 days, you certainly put him in that position.
  2. Taylor for 6 outs? Let's get er done.
  3. Great AB for Sano, go ahead run to the plate!
  4. Cron, Schoop, Polanco....too many bats have gone into hiding.
  5. It's amazing to me the hate Mauer got for taking walks and love Arraez gets
  6. His defense has had 3 miscues in 3 innings, about time they helped him out.
  7. So when they get thrown out we can read about how stupid Rocco is for wasting outs on the base paths?
  8. No, they aren't. The Twins are 22 games above 500 on July 18th, yes they have been treading water for a month now, but they are where even close to the realm of being sellers.
  9. 30 year old Chris Archer who is sporting a 5.38 ERA, 1.412 WHIP, 2.36 K/BB ratio and leads the bigs with 22 HR given up this season? I wouldn't trade Buxton straight up for Archer, forget the other 3.
  10. This is the most toxic game thread I've ever seen, holy balls
  11. We could really use Jorge to break out of this slump he is in. Since June 12th he is hitting .240/.289/.344
  12. This is how good teams win ball games. Your starting pitching is okay..., but your bullpen holds and your bats are clutch enough to beat a division rival. You win close games, your bullpen shuts the opponent down. These are the games that are between the the "you win win 60 and lose 60......the other 42 are what decide the season." This is a big one.
  13. How in the world can you say the play wasn't even particularly close? It took a perfect throw to get him on nearly a bang bang play. I am not advocating his decision in that situation, but it was close.
  14. Should we looking at the starting pitching numbers during that time frame? I get reading thru your post that you do not care for Sano, a lot having to do with the off field issue, which is perfectly fine, but using that W-L to further your argument is just short sighted. Using fielding percentage as a measure is also flawed. Yes, he has made a few extra errors, but his arm is incredible and for a big guy he is has decent range. He is definitely closer to average 3B fielder than worst in the league. I am a huge Arraez fan, but he has a .438 BABIP, has a very unsustainable 37.5% line drive rate and he and Sano play different positions, they can very much co-exist in the same lineup.
  15. Contending teams do not trade big league depth during the season, it's just not smart baseball. Offseason? Sure. During the season? Absolutely not.
  16. I like how they are taking advantage of the break to get another pitcher up, savvy move.
  17. I don't see any reason a team in the position that the Twins are in would trade an asset like Schoop. He is on a 1 year deal, above replacement level at a fairly premium position and would be worth a lot more to a contending team than to one trading off pieces at the deadline.
  18. I don't think saying "one bad inning" is a pass for Pineda, but at least IMO, it's encouraging that outside of the 3rd inning Pineda was pretty sharp. In the other 4 innings, he gave up three hits, only one reached the OF and didn't walk a batter, so outside of the 3rd, there were a lot of positives.
