  1. We struggle with the bad teams, too. Detroit. KC. That’s why we are barely a .500 team.
  2. Winder coming out after the second rain delay? I can get on board after one. But the second was just not smart for so many reasons. Counsell knows better. Baldelli? Still learning, l guess.
  3. If Mahle is on our team, at least his wildness can't break Buxton's hand again. https://www.ballysports.com/news/buxton-s-bad-luck-twins-star-shelved-again-has-broken-hand https://www.mlb.com/news/byron-buxton-left-hand-injury-twins
  4. Did Celestino get an assist on Seager's homer for pushing it over the fence?
  5. I wanted David Robertson, who the Cubs signed and is having a fine comeback after injury year, to be signed as a free agent after I saw him pitch last summer in the Olympics. Now he will cost some prospects instead of just $ to get him from the Cubs.
  6. It is pretty amazing to me, no matter your great defensive skills, speed, or how many homers (and 23 before the break is not really that unusual.....) that you can have an average of .215 (basically the worst of your career), only have an OBP of .295, a K% of 28.5, ..........and still be considered an all-star. I was listening to a couple ESPN guys discussing all the pitchers that did not make the team, and that was because there are just so many really good pitchers right now. I wish the FO would use their infamous pitching identification talents and get some of those on the Twins. After all, since there are so many, it would seems we deserve a couple, just from the randomness of it all.
  7. I see Hamilton is practicing up for a late inning role on the big team........
  8. Now we can listen to Baldelli's repetitive comments. Hey.... ups and downs... it was a tough game..... another tough game.... it was tough..... tough game tonight......
  9. You mean only Twins' fans, the righteous Twins' fans, now ignore his cheating and adore him? The rest of baseball still remember, and continue to hold him accountable?
  10. No, but Alex Colome might have been worth 14 loses by then.
  11. Folks like to project "on the pace to win" crap. I see it as the Twins are on the pace to be .500 team. They play .500, and have had one 7 or 8 game winning steak. That means they are due for the 7-8 game losing streak and on pace to be a .500 team, especially when you rely on Smeltzer and Pagan and Archer and Bundy and Ober and and and....... to keep playing above their true talent, or just don't have the talent. Why do they boo Correa on the road everywhere?
  12. I am not calling it wrong. I am saying I would still rather have had Greene than Lewis. By far. For so many reasons. WAR WAR WAR. Blah blah blah.
  13. I can't really call Ian Gibaut a former Twin. He is a former every team, isn't he? Tripping around the waiver wire, over and over and over. Momentary trash bin visitors gifted to us by Falvey and Levine don't get to be former Twins in my book.
  14. I wanted Hunter #1 overall. Badly. Instead...... Royce Lewis. I still would rather have Hunter.
  15. Nick Gordon has a "hero complex". And right after the big fail at the plate.
  16. Arraez needs to make that play at third. Right under his glove.
  17. Taylor made for Gordon to step up. Nice dribbler with men on second and third. Ouch. Why is it we get to see other teams often tee off on our reliever's first pitch so many times, and we get to see things like Gordon killing the game changing rally on a first pitch in the same circumstance?
  18. Maybe not to you. I they mean a ton to the players and the team. And it tells me a lot about the player, especially the player that has a lot of RBIs. It means somebody stepped up to the plate with runners on, more pressure, and shined in the clutch when the opportunities presented and got them accross the plate to score the run. I guess assists in basketball and hockey are uninteresting to you, too? And the long throw from the outfield. It means nothing? It is just the assist. The put out is the end product, and the only thing important?
  19. How does one know what he is capable of? Seriously? We have all seen what he is capable of. Many times. Is it really that unrealistic to think that the guy should/could be performing even half as good as he is capable of at the plate, instead of 1/10 as good in these long stretches? I don't think it is. He is almost hitting at the Mendoza line for average, and that includes about 6 weeks of "the best player in baseball"! That is really really bad to bring those streches down to what it is for the season.
  20. It is sad that so many great offensive and defensive performances keep getting buried by the sorry bullpen.
  21. Sickening. Again. Over and over and over. Caleb and Sonny. Really just Caleb. One out, one job to do. One out. Just one.
  22. Baldelli should have at least asked them to conference. That is allowed. Wimpy!
  23. Why didn't the plate ump over rule that It hit the chalk right in front of Devil Hernandez. Umpires just are not able to do the job they need to do. No reason not to get it right with every aid you can give them.
