    This cannot be real.

    Correa's OPS just went to .660 from .492 at start of the game.

    Ryan #41. Clever.

    Rays win again 9-3. Ties MLB record to start season 13-0.
  5. h2oface
    Yes!! We need him even with the .100 some batting average and .400 something OPS. Nothing some hits won't fix.

    Correa said it happened when he did this awesome attempt at scoring. This is all it took......... click on link to see MLB video https://www.mlb.com/twins/video/luis-garcia-in-play-run-s-to-trevor-larnach-1tdcxl?q=trevor larnach rbi single&cp=MIXED&qt=FREETEXT&p=0 Pretty amazing that this little lackadaisical tip toe dance attempt at scoring in a horrible bit of base running takes him out. It also ended the inning, and instead of runners on 1st and 3d with 2 outs, the rally was ended. Read the Athletic article posted earlier fast, as it will slap the paywall page on top in about 10 seconds if you aren't a subscriber. If Correa is consistent, the upside of his pattern is that even if he sucks at the beginning of the year, he will get hot by the end and take it into the play-offs. Rememeber play-offs?

    I can't believe Garlick is once more on the way. He has been hitting well in St Paul, but went 0-6 on Tuesday. The smell of garlic(k) has always been hard to get rid of. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/04/twins-likely-to-select-kyle-garlick.html

    Brain fart. Thanks, I will fix it. I always found it interesting that it isn't the Manhattan, or the Queens, or the Long Island, or the Staten Island, or the Brooklyn, but it is the Bronx, with "The" in caps, according to some, but not others. https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/bronx/bronx-residents-feeling-capital-article-1.1799794

    As good as Duran is, he is getting a lot of fouls and guys touching his pitches. And another homer on a middle middle pitch. I hope that changes. Lopez almost hit someone in the head, too. Now to Queens (brain fart) the Bronx with depleted roster and Duran and Jax probably not available tomorrow. Good luck to us. Glad they got this win after all it cost. Time for the bats to go crazy.

    I hear you. Lopez performance certainly deserved to bring the win. But as baseball rules go, once the score is tied again, and you are not in the game anymore, the win is not yours. No game has ever been won, no matter how good your pitching is, without your bats scoring, and scoring more than the other guys. Not one.

    Thanks @Steven Trefz for all the inserted videos. 8 of them I really appreciate it. Classy. As good as Lopez pitched, it still didn't bring the win in the end, because of the offense. We will miss Luis Arraez everyday, not just every 5th day. Winning? People love to say win-win, I guess. Lopez pitching this way certainly helps. Yes, we needed better pitching. Too bad the method was by trade instead of free agency or the farm.

    It sure seemed a bit over confident to lay that first off speed pitch up there middle middle. I agree. Heat. Got a bit too clever, and it sure looked like Robert was looking for it. Middle middle and it was gone. Duran sure had to throw a lot of pitches. 24. After the first pitch homer, 23 more - 12 to Sheets, in an impressive 12 pitch AB of which he touched 8 of them, only totally missed one he swung at, and took 3 balls (albeit the 4 pitch ball was a strike and called a ball.). Interesting that Duran did hit his target (Just like Moran did in the 9-6 game against Houston with the same result only it was a change up). He threw it right where Vazquez called for it on that first pitch to Robert. Vazquez did call a fine rest of the game, although his base running was a bit foolish.

    Well said. Morneau talked about a trade today on air while Lopez was pitching. Eaton from the White Sox to the Nats in 2016 for Lucas Giolito, Reynaldo Lopez, and Dane Dunning. You can use all the WAR and whatever you want to debate that the White Sox won that trade, but Morneau's winner was the Nationals, as Eaton was a key player in a World Series Championship. Have the White Sox won a Series yet with the players they traded for? Nope. And a WSC is what the game is played for. I agree. Your discussion is a winner too. Plus, for me, if you have to wait so long for the value to start showing or happening even if it finally does, it is still a loser. And it never counts when you trade that guy for that guy for that guy, imo.

    No win for Lopez, and a blown save for Duran, but a team win takes the day. Every day. Every game.

    I Love good bunts!!!!!!
  17. h2oface
    Perhaps. You mean the runner that has no eyes in the back of his head? Conjecture from watching on video until they tell us, if they ever do. All I know for sure is what I saw at this point regarding the throw being offline. That doesn't change with a homer announcer's opinion of his own team. It was still good enough to get the speedy Vazquez, but there have been much better throws in to third. Relay was very quick, for sure.
  18. h2oface
    amazing that for over a hundred years nobody threw a "sweeper." Now everybody does. Go figure.
  19. h2oface
    ??? a couple feet to home plate side of the base? It could have been not even close.
  20. h2oface
    If Watkins signaled him to go......... he holds the speedy runners and sends the turtles. Unbelievable.
  21. h2oface
    11 Ks for 6-7-8-9 so far. one homer
  22. h2oface
    middle middle is never that nasty
  23. h2oface
    I so hate called third strikes,........ for our guys.
  24. h2oface
    Take it yard again, Byron!!!
  25. h2oface
    Good start! Buxton is zeroing in.
