    13 hits in April, and 15 in May.........

    Hey, he has a 2 game hitting streak (albeit only one hit a game, 2/9) and would have a 5 game hitting streak (albeit one a game, 5/22, if he wouldn't have only gotten 1 at bat in the middle of it and pinch hit). .227 for the 5 games, 2.17 for the 6 games.

    25 pitches in the first inning, but only made Skubal throw 10 in the second. The offense is settling in.

    OK. But saying you need a home run and actually saying you will hit a home run..... two different things. Wouldn't calling it be saying.... this will be a double play, and not that we need one?
  5. h2oface
    Oberiffic. Trying to find success right down the middle of the plate. Seems to work against the Twins, though.

    While it takes at least 2 teams to trade, it is not that unusual to have significant trades in June. Sure, not a usual as the July trades, and with the ridiculous amount of teams that can now qualify for the playoffs, more teams should be taking longer to enter the trade market now, but it can and does happen. Early birds can catch a worm sometimes. It seems our guys like to wait and scavenge off what is left, but maybe they will surprise us. I think the homers think our farm is way better than the rest of baseball does, however. Here is a bit of history, and not the complete list, by any means. https://www.mlb.com/news/biggest-june-trades-in-mlb-history

    I guess we are finding out this week how close and just how good of teammates this team really has. Are they didicated to the team, or themselves?
  8. h2oface
    That would still bury Sano!
  9. h2oface
    One pathetic performance by the Minnesota Twins.
  10. h2oface
    These guys look totally uninspired to even be playing a game.
  11. h2oface
    What ? No green light?

    Currently, 5-6, actually, against teams >.500 after today's first game, but that is a stat with a lot of inconsistency, as it does not take into account what the teams records were when they actually played! It uses current records, so it can change a lot day to day, game to game even, throughout the season as the other teams go above and below .500 over the course of the season. Also, I am never quite sure if the > in >.500 really means "greater than or equal to .500", or truly greater, or over .500, and leaving the .500 teams out. I totally agree about the "plan" seeming to mean more than winning, though. I also like that there are only 7 teams after the first game of the double header today, Tuesday, that have won 30 or more games, and the Twins are the 7th. I hope we bolster up and spend, and not waste the start, and make the team more competitive for a possible postseason run. It isn't just the pen that is on the brink of disaster. The starting rotation is pretty damn suspect as well, and the pitching in St Paul (including Sands. who is being called upon for a spot start, and his AAA numbers are even worse than his SSS MLB line) has been pretty horrible.

    Interesting article and supporting stats. Thank you. For some of the fans, we welcomed the opening surprise, but were never fooled. This pen is a disaster waiting to happen, and some of it has already happened. No crow needed for a first course. The good part is the W-L record so far. The bad part is the praise that some writers and media and fans gave the FO for being so ...... "smart", and going with them and "see, we didn't need to spend on the pen, and we won the Rogers trade." Well, it is a loooooooooong season. And the surprise early cream is rotting. and sinking from its early visit to the top. Now that we have a good start, it is time to make every effort to spend and save the season and prop up the pitching with proven talent and fix what was ignored in the off season, or the start will be wasted.
  14. h2oface
    I really don't see what the FO sees in Cole Sands in regard to these spot starts. He has been HORRIBLE even for St. Paul! 0-4, 7.23 ERA, 15 earned in 18.2 innings, average against of 3.11. His very small MLB sample (4 innings) not much better. Is this our depth? This is all we got from the infamous pitching pipeline? https://www.milb.com/player/cole-sands-663485?stats=gamelogs-r-pitching-mlb

    They scored the Urshela throw an error. Another one that is really on Miranda. At least he is hitting now!
  16. h2oface
    rerun.
  17. h2oface
    Garlick just another few feet short, just like the other day to end the game with the bases loaded. Both long flies ended the game but almost tied them in the 9th. Twins now have lost 4 of the last 6 games....... and to the Tigers and Royals.
  18. h2oface
    Our DHs today are hitting .193 and .203 I thought Designated Hitter meant you used someone who hits? ?
  19. h2oface
    With TA out I think the White Sox may not look too sharp either. Can you call him TA? TA-TA TA
  20. h2oface
    A walk, passed ball, and Miranda playing out of position at first. Another run. Even with all players except Urshela and Sanchez playing out of position, I would have had Miranda playing at second and Arraez at first. At least Miranda would have been given a start at his favored position in this odd as can be lineup today.
  21. h2oface
    I guess Torkelson showed Miranda how to make the play that Miranda didn't that would have gotten the Twins out of that inning with the score tied at 4 in the 7th. That is the key play in my book. Torkelson was the batter for Miranda's gaff and Miranda was the batter for Torkelson's get.
  22. h2oface
    Buxton with a 3 game hitting streak! (Albeit only .230 going 3/13 with one double and one run scored).
  23. h2oface
    The only way to keep Baldelli from having to make a call, is to keep a huge lead and win big.
  24. h2oface
    Bremer selling Jax with "11 pitches and 8 strikes" and leaving out the 2 runs he just let in. And then the WP. Come on Jax!
  25. h2oface
    With Lewis out, and Kepler not able to play but still on the roster, we are down to 1 from the bench today.... Sanchez.
