    The most sickening thing is that our shoddy pitching was real good during this series, and the rest of the team just wasted the good starts. When they don't need more runs, no problem. But when they do.... they don't show up. I used to be a wise man but being a Twins fan made me a chump.

    This team is making me sick. It is like watching the Padres tank in seasons past after the hopeful starts.

    Always did, eh? "Don't worry, be happy, blind and deaf. Just be happy" If you are complacent and only treading water, it is only a matter of time before you finally sink and die. Even when winning, you must look to, and strive to identify weaknesses, admit them, and improve.

    At least my national league team is playing great baseball, and doesn't just disappear.

    love that shift, eh?

    Joe Maddon on infrastructure... it just might apply to the Twins as well: ......The veteran skipper is enjoying a rare “summer vacation” of sorts, and would only be interested in a managerial or advisory job with a team that had a “strong balance between the old and the new” approaches to the game, and not too tilted in favor of analytics. It seems clear that Maddon didn’t feel this balance existed in Anaheim. In general, Maddon felt the Angels’ “infrastructure needs to be improved….It’s the non-sexy stuff that has to get better. It’s not just bright, shiny objects — they have that. They need to do the infrastructure better in order to get to where we had been in the past.” Maddon also implied that the front office tried to have too much of an influence on baseball decisions, thus trying to turn the manager into a “middle man” rather than an actual leader in the clubhouse. “It’s at the point where some GM should really just put a uniform on and go down to the dugout, or their main analytical membrane, he should go down to the dugout….And what happens is when the performance isn’t what they think it should be, it’s never about the acquisitional process,” Maddon said. “It’s always about the inability of coaches and managers to get the best out of a player. And that’s where this tremendous disconnect is formed.”

    ..... and it was only 1-0 with one out in the 7th......
  9. h2oface
    Probably not needing a strikeout, so passing on Buxton right now. I can't believe we are at this point in the season, and we have Cave and Beckham and Leon on the MLB team. Not even the cellar dwellers would be playing these guys.
  10. h2oface
    Right. So make the decision to have a better chance for the opponent to score more runs and take a better lead. I get it. I see it all the time, especially with this pen and manager.
  11. h2oface
    HA. That's when you don't have to manage, just stay out of the way.
  12. h2oface
    And with the game tied, in the 7th, one out, and a runner on third, you pull your starter, OK, but you have a fresh fireman, one of the best in the league, Jhoan Duran, you need a couple Ks, and you DON'T USE HIM AGAIN, while the game is still in reach. Didn't use him yesterday, and now you won't today, either. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
  13. h2oface
    And you wanted Ryan, with a 2-hitter and 88 pitches out of the game, eh? Not me.
  14. h2oface
    Spoke too soon. Hit batter and stolen base, and relief adds to the pain, not just gives up the IR.
  15. h2oface
    Glad to be wrong.... so far.
  16. h2oface
    Count that run now. Barely fair, stolen base (of course), and ground out, runner to third. And Megill with a runner on third and one out. Probably first batter and the run in........ IRS is not relief.
  17. h2oface
    Glad to see Ryan with his one-hitter starting the 7th.
  18. h2oface
    That's what I'm talkin' about!!! A pitcher that is ready to be a baseball player. Fielding the batted ball instead of thinking you are done after you pitch the ball. GO JOE RYAN!!!
  19. h2oface
    Ah, the Austin Martin hype. Another big K by the FO.
  20. h2oface
    He gave up the run the night before, too, just scored as if Bundy did. But is was Thielbar giving up the inherited runner at first with one out when as he got a base stolen on his slow delivery, and then gave up a single. IRS - the true sign of good relief, all too often ignored. If Thielbar gets you out of a jam, consider yourself lucky. And luck is good.

    Does Correa even do interviews? I haven't seen one all year! That doesn't mean he hasn't, I just haven't seen him after games.
  22. h2oface
    Can't brag about the pen tonight. They all gave it up except Lopez, and he just got lucky and was drilled hard. Yes, we should have scored more, but the pen didn't help. And Duran was saved for what? 10 pitches last night too much? Our money men need to start earning their money. Time is now. Tic toc.
  23. h2oface
    Carlos Correa, SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!
  24. h2oface
    Jax always coming in the zone ahead in the count. These were not the guys to pitch here.
  25. h2oface
    I always feel lucky when Thielbar doesn't get slamed. Can't forget April. Definitely was the wrong choice tonight.
