    That's better!
  2. h2oface
    Too good of pitches for 0-2!
  3. h2oface
    Buxton got lucky on that hit. That is the sucker pitch way outside and low that he usually strikes out on!
  4. h2oface
    I am amazed at how shallow Buxton plays. He sure can make up the ground, though. Makes for high speed into the fence/wall possibilities. So far, mostly he stays on the field, especially after the early career frequency of getting himself injured. Dive away, and land softly.

    Totally! Missed opportunity there.

    Good move Molitor! Get him out of there......

    Rodgers just looks like he has lost all command of his pitches, outing after outing now.
  8. h2oface
    I wish we could bunt like this all the time!

    Is a 4 run lead enough for 2 innings of the Twins' bullpen?
  10. h2oface
    It helps for the Twins to actually score some runs when Colon pitches. I still don't like him. I guess I will always hold it against him that the Cy Young award Santana deserved went to Colon, and that wasn't even his fault. I guess I just like to watch athletic athletes, and not guys that don't take care of themselves. Plus, he throws like a girl ....

    I think they always have too much yellow (which makes them orange) in them. Even this year's model of the red tops they wear at home this year some. But these... even more so, I agree.
  12. h2oface
    Those uniforms make Colon look fat.

    Royce Lewis goes 0-4 and still has 2 RBI with a SF and a BB. He produces when he doesn't produce!
  14. h2oface
    One could say that the FO has selected more "failures" since we really only want 5 good rotation pieces with 5 back up depth in AAA. And the very high percentage of selections have not pitched well enough to stick and be a consistent option. Seems like guessing as much as great evaluation to me. Plus, the new 10-day DL has changed everything about moving players around. Just ask the Dodgers. I like it.
  15. h2oface
    Throwing in the towel. Depressing.
  16. h2oface
    I'd like to forget him for the rest of the season .... but..... 6 homers given up in the last 8 innings is hard to forget.
  17. h2oface
    And Slegers is off the roster, now. I hate to just give a game away with pitching that is filler, and not a prospect, even. Neither of these guys are. And let's face it. 27 is not still young in the scope of youngness for MLB players. 27 is still hoping and dreaming, with time running out and Korea calling.
  18. h2oface
    Triple A filler game, with the wild card begging you to come and get it.
  19. h2oface
    I think it is a 5 game series with the make up game.....
  20. h2oface
    Pitches 7 and 8 from Melville to Abreau were called balls, but both strikes. Pitch 7 the perfect corner of zone, and pitch 8 in the low part but even more in the zone. At least Melville didn't get totally screwed and struck him out anyway. Hard for the ump to get a swinging strike wrong, too.
  21. h2oface
    I hope Royce Lewis makes me forget my disappointment of the Twins not drafting Hunter Greene! He sure is eating up the first two stops to the show! Melotakis in relief of Gonsalves 3 home run and 6 earned in 3 innings effort..... 7 earned and only two outs, all with two hits. OUCH! For both of them. Still ouching...... I see that the Tennessee Smokies have a pitcher named Cael Brockmeyer. I guess he must not be related to Jim Brockmire, or if he is, changed the spelling of his name........

    Well, only three players are listed on the active roster as outfielders, and Grossman is listed as DH. The bench, at this time, is only 3 people, with an infielder, a catcher, and a DH. I don't know that you can really call Grossman an outfielder, even though they play him out there, and watch him flail, but if you are inclined to, 1/3 of the bench = one person that can sit. He also pinch hit and struck out batting for Kepler in the bottom of the 7th and played 2 innings in the opener. At this point, I don't pull Kepler for Grossman to try to milk a walk, and he is only hitting .243 now.
  23. h2oface
    Defensive expert Grossman doesn't give way to Buxton. What the hell was he doing out there anyway? Kepler sitting at this point is just poor management. I will be very happy when the 3 year Molitor era is over.

    "Having now pitched at three different levels on the farm in rehab stints, Perkins has posted a 6.14 ERA across 7.1 IP. His 10 strikeouts in that span are exciting, but they've been paired with an unfortunate five walks. Velocity returning has been a big question, and aside from a few low 90's reports, he's hovered somewhere in the high 80's. It's hard to imagine the life on his fastball being better than what it was, and he's dipped from 96 mph in 2013, to 92.1 mph a year ago." MLB baseball with a playoff possibility on the line is not an exercise in nostalgia. That performance IN THE MINORS is not a rehab that is rehab-ready for the show! That is not a rehab that has EARNED a spot on a MLB team. Seriously, we all wish it were different, but as long as the Twins are in it, Perkins needs to do what is best for the team. Hey! Maybe we should sign Joe Nathan, too, and throw him out there. Now is NOT the time for a Glen Perkins return to the mound for the Twins.
  25. h2oface
    I cringe at the thought of wasting innings on Perkins this year. Especially now. NO NO NO. Time for retirement. Only if and when the Twins are eliminated should he get the mound for old times' sake.
