    That didn’t age well the last 3 games. Streaks can hide a weakness for a spell.

    This team is no longer painful, because failure is expected. Funderburk won’t have any control and if he succeeds it will be luck. The bullpen is going to give up runs. Lee just doesn’t have range, Wallner will strikeout. If you expect them to lose, the pain goes away. All bats striking out looking horrible in the bottom of the eighth - that was still painful.

    I hope you all got a picture of the standings when the Twins were 11-7.

    Agreed. I wouldn’t call Duran a failed starter, though. He was moved to relief by management to create less stress on his rehabbing arm, and never given the chance again to start, even though he expressed that’s desire for a couple years.

    Just another failed pitching prospect groomed by the Twins, and overrated attention by writers. Surprised?
  6. h2oface
    Pleasantly flabbergasted. Enjoying it while I can The bats scoring a lot of runs makes a 6.00 ERA for the game pitching performance look good? That’s some fuzzy, less than 90 mph, math. Gotta love it though. Scoring a ton of runs makes for interesting perspective.

    Has anyone looked at Kreidler‘s history? Yes, a fine defensive play today, kudos, but he has NEVER hit in the Bigs, and he is 28. Hasn’t hit in St. Paul either. This is the depth? The Saints hitting averages are overall pathetic so far. 6 hits go a long way when bunched together. 8-7. Pinch me.

    What do you really expect? Wallner is horrible. And not too smart. Buxton cratered. 4-0 lead, too. Toronto FO says “yup!” The Detroit series was just a dream.

    His HBP was the run that cost his starter the win.

    Nuances. How does a MLB outfielder not know the dead ball rule for a ball stuck in the wall, Wallner? After all, it helped the Dodgers win a game 7 because they had a SMART outfielder. I find it hard to believe that Wallner wasn’t watching that game, too.

    Expected results mean nothing in this game. Only actual results. And so sick of exit velocity et al. shoved down fans’ throats. Get a hit. Make the throw. Catch the ball. Actual results that can win games.

    Height wasn’t challenging to Randy Johnson. It was an advantage. Unfortunately, the only question now is how many games will Ober blow before he is dismissed. Sometimes things are so very clear but apologists just can’t bring themselves to admit it yet, and take action. This would include, in Ober’s case, a self apologist.

    I have never seen a batter hit himself in the face with the bat bunting like Lee did. It seemed to only start really hurting when he took a look at the feeble bunt result and just quit after a couple seconds. No effort to force a play at all. Then he was finished with his at bat, conceding the out, and bent over, And he didn’t come out of game, either. Back on the field after the team posted 4 runs. Weird. I guess we will see if any swelling happens in the next couple days. Bunting continues to be a challenge for this team.
  14. h2oface
    It's right up there with the math on total pitches for the last 5 days for Funderburk, Lawyerson, Banda, and Orze (unless they change it now.)
  15. h2oface
    That pitching pipeline is more impressive everyday. Ohhhhhhh baby!
  16. h2oface
    .141 Team batting average after 4 games.
  17. h2oface
    Mick not Abel when stacked on Ober. That’s over 13’2” total of throwing downhill. One would think that would help generate velocity. Speaking of velocity….. Brooks Lee the pinch runner option? Maybe if he pinned his ears down it would help with reducing drag. Wallner challenging the call on that pitch with bases loaded was like watching a little leaguer pretend he was hurt after dropping a routine pop up.

    Ryan “deGrom-ed” by his bats and Topa. Team USA could have used that performance in the WBC Final.
  19. h2oface
    So much for the peddling of the fake info that the strike zone for Altuve and Judge being the same was a major fault of the ABS. WRONG! Now what? Denial is a habit. Next year every pitch. It will just let players decide games, not umpires. That is the human element. The players.
  20. h2oface
    Danny Valencia II. And it cost a number 1 overall draft pick.
  21. h2oface
    Navigating the roster without a rudder.
  22. h2oface
    They could have used him. Hoffman never played, but I would have preferred Ryan instead of the Met, Molan McLean (5.87 ERA for the WBC). And I don’t understand why DeRosa went with Whitlock in the ninth. Mason had 2 days rest. But seriously….. USA had only 3 hits! And Skubal in uniform in dugout but wouldn’t start! Mason Miller has thrown 272 consecutive pitches (in the 2025 regular season and postseason and the 2026 WBC) without allowing a hit.
  23. h2oface
    Ober, lots of luck to you. You will lose most of your remaining apologists soon. Ryan should have been season opener at least once, if not more, instead of Lopez, but Falvey was in love with his trade and was needing to reinforce his decision to bolster his perception of himself by fans, etc. Just curious Mr. Nelson, what are you enjoying about hitless Buxton’s play in the WBC? I’m enjoying Crow-Amstrong performing like an All-Star and his big clutch hits. I guess the stolen base. That was fun. The RBI was by getting hit, so for me, not so fun but stressful, especially getting hit on the arm.

    Aaron was 6'. Puckett is listed as 5'8" and sometimes 5'9". Killebrew said he weighed 180 in 1996 when I spent about a half an hour with him before a presentation at Charlottesville High School in Virginia. He looked great and fit. Not stocky at all in his retirement.
  25. h2oface
    Killebrew was 5' 11". Ranged 185 to 210. He hit a few homers. And Gonzalez is 22 this year. That is young. 24/25 is not young, but prime time, or the beginning of prime time. Writers like to think it is young, just because they haven't made the show yet.
