    With our defensive outfield, best to pitch no hitters.
  2. h2oface
    Wow. 2 pitches. Two right down the middle. Two homers.... and Mahle comes to the plate........
  3. h2oface
    First pitch meat. There goes the shutout.
  4. h2oface
    There goes the Reds' shutout.
  5. h2oface
    There goes the perfect game and the no-hitter..... again.

    I believe, in baseball, that "mental illness" (really, mental illness?) or the "twisties" is called the "yips". The disconnect. Rick Ankiel and Chuck Knoblauch (throwing from second to first while with the Yankees.....) come to mind as famous cases.

    Might want to walk Votto a couple times tonight, too. https://www.mlb.com/news/shohei-ohtani-joey-votto-are-july-players-of-the-month

    And don't forget about Lucas Sims. Beaned Buxton just before the playoffs (Sept 25) in 2019 and gave him a super concussion. Cincy pitchers have been very bad for Buxton, and have made him suffer greatly.

    Tyler Mahle. They guy that broke Buxton's hand. He has to bat...... that is, if he makes it to the 9th spot in the order and he is still pitching. But chances are, he will have to be in the batter's box while pitches are being thrown, tonight. https://www.mlb.com/news/byron-buxton-left-hand-injury-twins

    Huascar Ynoa to the Atlanta Braves for Jaime Garcia, Anthony Recker, and cash. Garcia to the New York Yankees from whom the Twins received Zack Littell and Dietrich Enns...... essentially traded Ynoa for Recker, Littell, Enns, and cash. All gone now..... Ynoa looking like the best of the bunch, as long as he uses his hands to pitch instead of hit walls.

    I hated the Shoemaker (and Happ) signings, and hate them even more now. But this headline is click bait, and what Shoemaker said was harmless and honest. That is his take. It very well could be the best take, and the most accurate for what happened with him. Billy Bob says it best......

    With what the Twins are doing with this team now, there is no reason to not have Refsnyder back on the Twins. Miranda, too.
  14. h2oface
    Wow. That St. Paul box has some pretty rough pitching in it. Doesn't look like much help coming from there. (I see 11 team LOB, not 21 - still not helpful....)
  15. h2oface
    Falvey has accomplished destroying a 101 win team with his pitching decisions since. That is the reason this team was torn down. Pitching. Starters. Bullpen. His pitching. Trading Berrios (not one of his pitchers, and the best we had) only magnifies the destruction. But they won the day. Just ask Falvey. https://www.mlb.com/twins/news/twins-2021-trade-deadline-summary
  16. h2oface
    1, 5 and 8 hitters, Polanco, Astudillo and Simmons, 3 hits each....... 2.3.4 hitters, Rooker, Garver, Larnach..... 0-12. 6 and 7 hitters, Sano and Gordon, 0-6 with Sano's two walks, and 9 hole, Jax, Kepler, and Cave, 0-4. Holes. When hits don't result in runs.
  17. h2oface
    Well.... only those that are losing, and have a bad team that they were responsible for at least some if not all of the design of, perhaps. And what do they all have in common? The team that they run was a loser. Just the folks one wants to emmulate.
  18. h2oface
    Checked in just in time to see the grizzled old vet, Duffey, carrying the torch for Robles/Shoemaker/Happ. Well done. Helps one not miss them.....

    Pineda can extol the hazards of using banned substances and getting caught (hey, it is what it is), and the consequences of wearing the sticky cheating stuff on your neck. Also, how not to stay in shape and still be an MLB pitcher. Hopefully he doesn't impart on them the time he takes between pitches. Pineda, to me, doesn't appear to be the inspiration one would look for in a mentor. And when it comes to a possible extension, they could resign him for 2022 even if he was traded. Isn't that the whole reason to trade Cruz? Free agent at the end of the year, anyway. 2 months of Pineda mentoring. Just not very valuable.
  20. h2oface
    Not incompetent. But they did create this problem with all their cheap pitching signings and failures. They are now ripping a team apart because of those failures. I don't like it one bit. It could have been all way different. And the fact that they ever signed Happ in the first place (and Shoemaker) to inflict this horror on the team and fans leans them back toward incompetent a bit......
  21. h2oface
    20 minutes left and we still thankfully have Buxton.
  22. h2oface
    https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/07/twins-cardinals-trade-j-a-happ-john-gant.html No more JA Happ. THAT makes me Happy. Not for the return, just so I don't have to watch Happ pitch anymore.
  23. h2oface
    I'll take that to mean that you are changing your statement of "nothing" to something, just insane. So not "nothing". Gotcha.
  24. h2oface
    Now shopping Maeda, too. A team full of strangers, coming up. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/07/byron-buxton-trade-rumors-twins-phillies.html

    Kimbrel in an up year for the stretch. With getting their injured young stars back... they could be real dangerous in the playoffs.
