    Soft contact bloopers count. A win is a win. A hit is a hit. If you have loaded the bases with two outs, even with the error, you are responsible. If you walk in the run, you suck. Add that to the 3 runs on Sunday.... he really sucks,

    I blows me away that it took them all year, until this last game to take a look at Kirilloff (one r, two Ls, two fs, please, it's not that hard). There were countless opportunities. Of the 18 losses, the Chump Twins were had the lead in 11/18.

    I was amazed at how they would stay alive in the 9th, and definitely not be taking a close pitch with 2 strikes, but they adjusted their swings, and not just to make contact, but to put it in play in a place to have a chance to sneak through the infield... and they did. Impessive. And Sanchez just wanted a fly ball for a sac fly, and did it. Very Impressive.

    Watching some of the other games..... pretty fun watching some get hits when it counts. This team turned into chumps. We are the laughing stock of MLB right now. Minnesota Chumps.

    Still no word on what the deal was with Buxton (other than his obvious eyesight....) Oh hell..... who cares now, eh?

    Baldelli 0-5 in postseason. Falvey/Levine 0-6. They build teams for the regular season, not the postseason.

    This is the post season. Kenta should have fought to stay in the game. Baldelli shouldn't have made him, though. He should have checked in with Kenta, and if he was good to go, let him at least start the 6th inning and see how it goes. Even if the Twins would have won, Baldelli used all the top relievers as it was.... that is, it you consider Romo a top reliever, which I don't. Not a great managing strategy.

    Falvey is now 0-5 in the postseason. Baldelli is 0-4. So they are becoming a pretty substantial part of the 17 game record postseason losing streak - Falvey 29% of it and Baldelli is attached to 23.5% of it.

    Before the this apotheosis goes too far, let us remember after game one loss in this year's Wild Card round, Falvey is now 0-5 in the postseason. Baldelli is 0-4. So they are becoming a pretty substantial part of the 17 game record postseason losing streak - Falvey 29% of it and Baldelli is attached to 23.5% of it.

    That wasn't an error, that was a travesty. That was a throw a little leaguer could make.
  11. h2oface
    Maybe so. Of course, you could buy the best closer/pitcher and then they suck or get hurt..... or make a physical error that loses the whole thing. But if you are paid to be a baseball star, you are paid to not make physical errors. In fact, they may be the easiest not to make, in my opinion. You are paid and hired to perform, and eliminate errors, ideally. That said.... I have never been impressed with this overperforming 'stat' pen. I watched them blow too many games.

    Oakland loses first game of today's double header with the Mariners.... Twins now tied with them at 35-23 with 2 games to go for both of them.
  13. h2oface
    Hmmm. I'll wait until they win a playoff game.... series..... advance, before I jump on this wagon. That is the proof of the success.
  14. h2oface
    Well that debut was underwhelming, and that is being kind.
  15. h2oface
    Colina was so not inspiring. One day maybe we get the pitcher that comes up and rolls, instead of always having to make excuses and cliche concessions. I guess the positive out of this day for the Twins is..... they still control their own destiny as far as winning the Central. Time for the boys to step up and get some hits with runners in scoring position. Today was brutal.
  16. h2oface
    Can you use Rogers where every inning matters? How about May? or Romo? Or any of the pen..... It is all a crap shoot, now, we will see who can be a star. Here we go.......
  17. h2oface
    I always hope we find a star at every position. Arraez is, to me, a short term fill, and I hope he doesn't get in the way of finding a better fielding, and higher OPS long term solution.
  18. h2oface
    Theilbar says thanks, Romo. It only took 4 total pitches and let 3 runs in. And Romo gets a save. Stribling got a save by pitching the last 4 innings in a 14-1 Toronto win over the Yankees. He came in the game in the 6th, already ahead 5-1.
  19. h2oface
    This will probably be up to Cruz. I would much rather keep him, even if he does decline. You can always not play him. But you can't put him in the lineup if he is not on your team. One decline year won't hurt the Twins at all. I mean seriously.... they put Astudillo on the roster! Cruz is good for the team.

    Looks like Cincinnati is lining Trevor Bauer up for the possible opening game of the wild card round. I think it is really because he doesn't want to face Kepler this weekend!
  21. h2oface
    Selling out? Most likely? Ye of little faith. Still to early to resign to second in the division.
  22. h2oface
    Garver is the Rodney Dangerfield of Twins' catchers. He gets no respect. I certainly am not ready to dump him, after what... all of 20 games played so far this crazy year? Not me. Not selling on Kepler, either. Or Buxton......
  23. h2oface
    I hope this works out. I am pretty distressed about it right now. I mean, If Bieber and Cleveland take the Sox today, and we beat the Tigers, we are 1/2 game out of passing the Sox, and only one game back in the loss column. To throw Bailey out there now? We keep coming up with old options instead of young, like I see so many other teams doing. I sure hope it works out. I hope Baldelli starts playing the starters, too. Time to consider this the playoff push, and until we are eliminated from the Division title, to actually play for it. Same goes for home field if we are going to finish second. The Reds are still playing for a playoff birth too. This is no time to split with Detroit and come out the the season a pathetic 5-5 against them, or all horrors, 4-6. I mean, Chicago is 18-2 against Detroit and KC. We are 9-9. There is a 8 game advantage over us right there, 8 game, because they played those games to win, instead of throw away games like Baldelli orchestrated. At least there will be no Astudillo behind the plate. edit: I see Cleveland moved Bieber to tomorrow to go against Giolito, and are pitching Quantrill today (bullpen game?), instead. Even more reason to win today, no matter what.

    At least they can't lose more than 2 more in a row to them in the first round.
  25. h2oface
    Well I can't really get on board with the cafe apples to apples....... I can't assume to read Donaldson's mind, but you could be right.... you know.... "unwritten" rules and all.
