  1. Hanging curve middle middle meat. Gorgeous.
  2. There went Cease's perfect game. No-hitter in tact. Minimum batters faced.
  3. Make that 21, and Cease with a perfect game through 2.
  4. He improved (we thought, or perhaps think) the starting rotation. But he was just off the IL, in Cincy, damaged, and I see him as a 4-5 ERA mediocre pitcher. Some loved to say ballpark and visiting splits, but I never liked him since his wildness broke Buxton's hand. We had to get something, and we probably paid too much. But the guys have to make more "right" choices. Everybody guesses the future, but our guys are not doing so well. The tragedy was the FO had us in the position that we had to settle for the best of the rest since last off season, and had to overpay for it. I was ambivalent as far as the acquisition being Mahle. I wanted better than Mahle, for sure, all year, and at the deadline.
  5. The good news is..... we still have 24 outs left.
  6. 10 pitches, 4 hits, 4 earned runs. Mahle. The hero.
  7. All the pitching choices the FO makes......... unbelievable.
  8. There goes the two-hitter, and the shutout! 3 more pitches......
  9. There goes the no-hitter! 2 pitches.....
  10. All the frustration that insued might have all not happened if Thielbar was not put in to replace Duran, and Duran pitched 2 innings. At 11 pitches, it seemed the better call at the time to me. I know that Theilbar has come through a bunch lately, but he also is still Thielbar. And April is hard to forget.
  11. "I don't like how that entire group ends up on our mound!" That’s what….. nevermind….. Yaaaaa! Get off of our mound!!! (Even, though, technically, it is their mound). Baseball players are sooooooooo tough. Hey.... it's right there in front of us..........
  12. Whatever. I like the running, personally. But make no mistake, whining about whining..... is whining. You expressed yourself already before attempting to control their whining, but then joined the whining club. I agree, that was yourself. I mean we are still in first place, right? Oh. Forget that. We are still only one game back. It's right in front of us..............
  13. Just be you, buddy. Everyone else can be them. Control issues?
  14. It's right in front of us.............
  15. And Lopez not aware of his infielders position, and punching the ground with his pitching hand after the double play is not in time because of the defleciton. Smart. I guess he didn't hear about Plesac..... again........ https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/guardians-zach-plesac-heading-to-injured-list-with-broken-hand-after-punching-the-mound-in-frustration/
  16. Lopez just isn't what he was in Baltimore. 30 hits in 48.1 innings. Since with the Twins.... 12 hits in 11.2, and TONS of contact. What did Baltimore know that the Twins didn't?
  17. 15 would, 12 wouldn't. About even.
  18. .....aaaannnnnnnd, once again..... nope.
  19. Looks like Correa may get another chance to be a hero.......
  20. Well, Caleb, we have only Lopez left now from the top tier, no lead, and no Miranda if we need him. Sometimes you DO get charged with the run(s) you let in.
  21. If a someone is 23,24 years old, and has been playing baseball since a child..... and they still are making bad deisions as to the rules of the game and what to do from any base in any situation on the basepaths or in the field, then they just haven't been paying attention. They are not inexperienced just because they are now playing against the best players instead of not as good players at others levels. The rules and moves haven't changed. If they haven't learned the game by that age, they must have a low baseball IQ. They are doing the best they can, they just don't have the brain power to do what is needed in the split second without even more repetition. Some learn with one or two repetions. High IQ. Some it takes a lot more. Lower IQ. Some make the same mistake over and over, Low IQ. Same with learning music. Some can learn the piece and a lot quicker than others, and memorize it quicker and get it from the left side of the brain to the right side of the brain and free themselves to really play the music instead of read the music. High IQ. Some always just read instead of play. All can perhaps get there, but some get there with less repetition. Great jazz guitarist, John Abercrombie, said that the more he played, the quicker it was to learn a new piece and get it from the left to the right side of the brain, were he no longer needed to think and it was just there to add all the emotion and nuance to, or "play".
  22. This in MLB Trade Rumors today, Sept 1 Minnesota Twins Added LHP Austin Davis (previously claimed off waivers from Red Sox) to active roster Selected contract of OF Billy Hamilton from Triple-A St. Paul Corresponding move: Transferred OF Trevor Larnach to 60-day injured list Larnach to 60 day? What does this mean. Finished for the year? Was moved from the 10 day with a effective date of June 24. Then I saw this in another post there: Larnach has been out more than 60 days already after undergoing surgery to repair a sports hernia back in late June, so the move to the 60-day IL is a pure formality. The Twins are still hopeful that he can return this month.
  23. Duffey picks Yankees. Now we know. It's right in front of him.
