    I bet the new guys are real pumped about getting traded, now! Correa needs to start earning at least 10 mil of his 35. All that time he spent asking for help and he is not focused and needs to look in the mirror and make it happen himself. 3 hits. This team needs to WAKE UP! Yes. I saw the pitching. Well documented.

    Glad somebody else noticed. But really, he had a 1-0 lead. It wasn't that bad. Just extra runners with 5 walks. 1 hit. 5 Ks in 5 innings. I don't really call that bad. Liriano had a no-hitter with 8 walks. I wouldn't call that bad, either. The main thing is that he should have been left in the game with the 79 pitches last game. At least start the next inning.

    Arraez having a bad game. In addition to slumping at the plate. Watching the strikes and swinging and striking out at pitches Buxton swings at. And that pick he missed from Miranda...... not his best game. I really don't like him at first. Or Miranda. I am liking how Miranda is improving at 3rd, though.

    MIRANDA!!! Don't forget, RBI are meaningless.

    All the pitchers are upgrades to what we had. It's about time. And I welcome them and could care less about the prospects traded. One year of a World Series is worth 20 of just competitive enough to get to the playoffs and lose a record setting 18 straight and counting. I hope that Lopez' one year of being desired after all the years of not keeps him at the high level. I hope that Mahle's expected stats start happening in reality instead of not. Buxton and his now healed hand should be happy that he doesn't have to step into the batter's box against Mahle's control. Fulmer seems to have found his niche, and with injuries behind him, hopefully he continues to get even better. To call it a "great" haul...... well..... OK. Compared to meager past trade deadlines, it is remarkable. And we really needed the pitching and could use more. We have been conditioned to get nothing, or give up some of our favorite players for strangers and prospects that never pan out, so this seems like the cat's meow. Berrios was traded with the same control left that Mahle was traded for, and it was pitched and argued that it was a must to do so by so many to get value. So was Pressly. The Berrios haul has been so not helpful to the Twins, and have not even advanced a level in the minors yet. Does this mean the Mahle is now on the block for this off season? This upcoming 5 games against the Blue Jays and Dodgers should be telling.

    Don't forget the Tommy John year+ for Kirilloff. Quite a long history of top prospects not being able to stay on the field. https://theathletic.com/3340279/2022/05/31/twins-top-prospects-injuries/ Snakebit again. Alex needs some luck, here. It isn't his heart, but glass comes to mind.

    "Although Mahle doesn’t look great on the surface, he is much better than these numbers indicate. ....Target Field is the second best park to pitch in, so Mahle will go from being at a heavy disadvantage to a severe advantage simply by changing home stadiums..... .....Mahle is one of the unluckiest pitchers in the league...... .....Among Twins starters, Mahle has the lowest expected ERA and the lowest expected batting average against (.206).' We will see. Personally, I would rather have a lucky player than consistently unlucky. I alway cringe when you have to sort through the stats available to try to make a case for why someone that is "expected" to be better, but isn't to date, and hasn't been. I would rather see a low ERA and a higher expected ERA, because what actually happens/happened is way more important and real than what one would expect or hope for. I would rather read about what was great and not expected than one is supposedly much better than he actually performed. And if Target Field is the second best park to pitch in, that means that our pitching has been even worse than we think, and our pitchers are worse than we think, because with Target Field, it is expected it should have been much better with the advantage.

    And so ends the one game winning streak. Started with the lowly Tigers, and ended with the lowly Tigers. But Hey! We are still first in the Central. Jax called on 3 of the last 4 days proves too often. Who would have thunk it? But I hear help is on the way. We need it.
  9. h2oface
    Because it is sooooooo important who put it to writing first? I, for one, could care less who found out first. Somebody told them and knew before they did! It matters not. Everyone knows soon enough. It is the race to be first that so often results in wrong or false info.
  10. h2oface
    We got from first to third!! Celebrate!!!
  11. h2oface
    And 77 pitches and a pumpkin. Our starters are stuck in the high 70's all week. Walks just kill Archer.
  12. h2oface
    TV. I heard it as a cummulative proudness of the team we have put together, not just today's trades. We may be including the whole scouting/FO team, but the pride was of the MLB team on the field I thought. It is common these days for folks to congratulate themselves. Just the take I have from the listen as it happened.
  13. h2oface
    metaphorically speaking.
  14. h2oface
    One of the 7 deadly sins..... pride, right? I guess I think he could talk about what he did without the proudness. Let others tell you they are proud of you, especially with the pitching provided off season and what we had until the deadline.
  15. h2oface
    "We are proud of the team we have put together......." self flatulation by Falvey. Very proud of himself. I guess he hasn't been watching the games? And the pitching?
  16. h2oface
    Pujols and Cabrera both have a stolen base this year, Urshela none. Urshela has GIDP 15 (16 with today?) times, Pujols (8) and Cabrera (7) - 15 together. He seems to have a point. Definitely agree that Gordon needs to steal there, or at least try, with Urshela at the plate.
  17. h2oface
    There goes the no hitter.
  18. h2oface
    two out walk and a stolen base. Twins are so susceptible to the running game.
  19. h2oface
    Well after all that today, that is sure an ugly outfield, and we still have Archer on the mound. Huh. Buxton out again. Damn.
  20. h2oface
    Well, the Gaurdians gave up a catcher that they wouldn't even let play in the show....... I hope Correa is so impressed he starts earning his $35 million, and shows up way more often.
  21. h2oface
    I hope Mahle is worth it. At least he can't break Buxton's hand again with his lack of control. I always am leary when the argument for the player is that he should be better than he has been if only he............ this time..... insn't pitching in Cincy half the games. I hope it works out for us. I hope he proves it. That was a lot to give up for the same amount of time that the reasoning was we had to trade Berrios with a year and a half of control left.

    .
  23. h2oface
    Where is Butera when you need him.This is help?
  24. h2oface
    Even with Jeffers, the hole is sucking energy from the universe.
  25. h2oface
    Great. Now get Davud Robertson.
