    See. Pitchers aren't really that good. It's just the bats didn't get any hits this series when they were pitching. Same with Bob Gibson. He wasn't that good, either, it was just that other teams didn't get many hits on the days he pitched. Lucky.

    Correa is just going to bolt, anyway. They should be playing him every single game and more. Get your 35 million worth. Same with any other 1 year contract or expiring contract. Baseball really isn't that grueling. If they all spent time stretching, even on the bench, bench yoga, they would all be able to stay on the field more and not pull and rip all their muscles so often, etc. Even if you only get paid a million a year, you get to play baseball in the show and get paid for it. Not that hard, really.

    How many games of heroic offensive performances in the last couple inning were wasted by this our pen? It almost makes one forget how clutch and special they were, because the pitching staff blew them all up.

    We are barely a .500 team, and barely not for June. And Archer is our pitcher of the month? Yikes. Sometimes you just sit on the award, and don't have a pitcher of the month. But that is the thing these days. Everybody gets an award, regardless.

    Who needed Tyler Wells, anyway? Had to make all that room for the dumpster diving arms that shockingly didn't pan out. Pitching identification. That's the ticket. Tyler Wells takes care of the home team now.

    Go figure. Sonny Gray the weak link today.

    Time for another Kepler dinger! Man, that was a horrible at bat. A horrible first pitch called high strike not in the strike zone, A called strike in the low part of the zone, and a horrible swinging strike in the dirt.
  8. h2oface
    Gray is barely holding on.

    Kirilloff and Santander. And Kirilloff had the easier fly ball to catch of the two.
  10. h2oface
    Scoring because of the bunt. The Twins would never bunt there to advance the runner from second to third with no outs. Never.
  11. h2oface
    Another example of the Twins not being able to score a runner from first on a double. Urshela just goes first to third. On a double. Again.

    Got the notification while driving. I must be the bad luck guy. Good thing I quit watching!
  13. h2oface
    Can't watch this crap any more. I'm out. It is just too pathetic.

    Buxton 1 attempt, 1 SB ..... same as Sanchez. Kepler 3 attempts, 2 SB, 67% Gordon 6 attempts, only 3 SB, 50%. Polanco 5 attempts, only 3 SB, 60% team..... 23 attempts, only 13 SB, 10 CS, 56.5%. Very last in all of MLB. They are so many times not getting 1st to third on a single, or scoring from 1st on a double, and way too often only getting from 1st to 3rd on a double and not even scoring, or getting thrown out at home. If they are fast, then they are just horrible base runners, but that has been evident. So yes,...... I call that sloooooooooowwwwwww. https://www.mlb.com/twins/stats/team/stolen-bases And the other side..... they all run on us like there was no one there.
  15. h2oface
    there goes the perfect game.
  16. h2oface
    Seriously boys..... only make the guy throw 6 pitches in the inning?
  17. h2oface
    And a perfecto for Ryan through 2 innings. I can't believe how slooooowwww this team is other than Buxton, and he won't even try to steal anymore with the "plan". They just don't get the extra bases, and when they try, they get thrown out more than not.
  18. h2oface
    I still bet on Berrios. 3 months of struggling (and he crushed us) up and down games. It could all be evened out by the end of the season, and the Jays in the playoffs. He is pitching in the show, the only team that really matters. Our guys still may never make it there. They haven't even advanced, in a whole year. I like your optimism, though.
  19. h2oface
    Naaa. It is never how the game is managed, your are unreally correct. As bad as our bullpen is, and it is horrible, I think we are not Oakland, and there is a bit more accountability, but you can have it your way. Baldelli is not responsible for his choices and timing et al during the game. All on the FO. Every bit of it.
  20. h2oface
    Once the game starts..... it is on the Manager, his past usage, and how he manages the game with what he has. A team effort.
  21. h2oface
    ....and the game against Atlanta, the Dodgers had just tied the game on a first pitch homer to lead of the inning by Will Smith in the top of the 8th, and Graterol, the heir apparent to Jansen, gets the bottom of the inning, and he gives up a first pitch lead off double and two pitches later a 2 run homer and lost the game 5-3 and that isn't in the short mention, either. (Former closer Kenley Jansen finished off the Dodgers in the top of the 9th with 3 Ks! Ha! Then blew the save the next day.......). No blown save, just a blown game and a loss. Sound familiar? Back to the point..... Graterol has had a sketchy June. Confirmed. (I don't make up the stats. It is still called a blown save, and everything counts).
  22. h2oface
    To be fair, they missed it. The pitching identifiers missed the guy. Right. All factors to evaluate. He was there for the picking. There will always be those guys that most miss (Mike Trout), but that is what their job is. To make the right decisions. Robertson was a cheap risk if Bundy and Archer was, and that is what was said about their contracts that are comparable or more. All that aside, he is on the Cubs, and he is available for sure now. Get him before someone else does. He looks past his injuries, and has been a proven winner for several seasons in the past. Too bad he wasn't gotten for only cash. https://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/cubs/ct-chicago-cubs-david-robertson-comeback-20220502-735zio6bzrasvjusplk3pv6iay-story.html

    I still like Thornburg for yesterday's game. He would have been great. It was the extra day of continued non-use that made him too rusty for today. It was his first rough up as a Twin after 8 perfect innings.
  24. h2oface
    Rogers and Graterol, eh? Maybe not in June. Graterol is giving up the house this month for the Dodgers with a 5.14 ERA in 13 appearances with 1 blown save in 2 chances, and Rogers in 5.59 ERA (but 0.93 WHIP) for June in 10 outings with 2 blown saves out of 7 chances. But make no mistake, I still would rather have those guys than all but Duran in the pen. They both had fine April and May's. https://www.mlb.com/player/taylor-rogers-573124?stats=gamelogs-r-pitching-mlb&year=2022 https://www.mlb.com/player/brusdar-graterol-660813?stats=gamelogs-r-pitching-mlb&year=2022 I would have definitely re-signed Matt Wisler for several years, too, instead of just letting him walk. That was a no brainer and affordable, and he has continued his success in Tampa. https://www.mlb.com/player/matt-wisler-605538?season=2022&team=139&stats=gamelogs-r-pitching-mlb&year=2022 And the FO had David Robertson at 36 (now 37) years old, who pitched on the Silver Medal Olympic Team as an unsigned qualified player making his comeback from injury, available in March to sign for 3.5 million plus 1.5 in incentives. He has been killer on a bad Cubs team. They should make a deal for him now! NOW!!!!! https://www.mlb.com/player/david-robertson-502085?stats=gamelogs-r-pitching-mlb&year=2022 https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/cubs-david-robertson-signs-with-cubs/#:~:text=Robertson signed a one-year,team in as many seasons.
