    Maybe...... and I could be misremembering, but I remember that they were not worth signing specifically because you can't be sure which ones would be good, so don't do it at all, and use the grow your own method.

    While it was a lot of fun to see Hildenberger get his first save, and step up, that 2 run homer in the eighth inning of the 12-11 loss the night before (that included allowing 2 inherited runners on first and second to score and one of his own, turning a 11-7 game into a 11-10 game headed into the 9th inning) is still just as fresh in my mind as the next night's success. I am not ready to anoint him a closer. He does look promising for a later inning option, but I would hope for a monster, and not a place holder.

    Not too many years back, the stat guys were touting how worthless it was to pay for relief pitchers, and specifically, closers. The KC breakthrough 3 headed monster for the 7th, 8th, and 9th, changed the game, and hopefully, our front office is paying attention. The only thing better than a two headed monster, is a 3 headed monster. I certainly hope the Twins acquire at least two, and not just one. But hey, one is better than doing nothing again! I appreciate the optimism of the article and summary of the bullpen, I just don't want the Twins FO to be paralyzed by hope, again.

    Getting real tired of watching Sano strike out.
  5. h2oface
    About time we have a FO that moves the prospects aggressively. I love it. It helps take the lingering sting away from passing on Hunter Greene.

    Good things can happen when you hit the cut off man! How about that Kepler!!!

    We need about 5 more runs probably .......

    Molitor's growing confidence in his bullpen lately has led to a quick hook. So far it is working.

    Whhheeeewwwww

    Mark me as one that definitely didn't want to see Pressly here...........

    This is where I bow out. I am expressing my opinion, and do not enjoy others assigning theirs to me. I am happy for you that you are happy with Colon.

    Well, we can't let that happen! Two games sucked, one better, and 2 games good (some might be more accepting, and say "There's one legit bad start, one slightly bad/meh start, one acceptable start, one good start, one great start."). Even with the Twins, he is down 3 games to 2, or 2-2-1. Seems he owes us a couple 3 more before I get excited. The first 13 games of his season don't just not happen, either. We (and he) got lucky a couple games is how I look at it so far. He certainly will be getting at least a couple more starts that I will not enjoy watching him, no matter what happens.

    I get the sentiment.... but...... if Dozier really does go a tear right now, with the team only 2.5 games back of the 2nd Wild Card birth........ this is exactly the time for Dozier to go on a "statistical binge".

    4 hits after 2 outs....... we think differently and have different standards. i will change imploding to 'being responsible'... at least for the last two runs, and it was also him that allowed the first one on base with two outs, but I won't assign responsibility to him for that.....
  15. h2oface
    "Drew Rucinski entered and because of an error, he was charged with three unearned runs on four hits in the eighth inning. He struck out two." Interesting spin on this. Because of an error? I see it as because he gave up 2 singles with 2 out before the errant throw, and two singles after it. A pitcher has the responsibility to pitch well, even with an error behind him. The error let in one run. The next single let in the other two. Sure they were officially unearned. But this was all about a pitcher imploding with 2 outs. That is the real, complete spin.

    Looks like the Dodgers will go yet another day without losing.......
  17. h2oface
    Our leader....
  18. h2oface
    And he tries to bunt?!?!?
  19. h2oface
    Here is Dozier's chance again!
  20. h2oface
    Progress, I agree. For super duper, in my book, the at bat doesn't end with the 3rd walk to load the bases, but a double in the gap, or at least a hit that drives in runs. We walk the bases loaded, and score nothing. Other teams get one walk, and our pitchers somehow let them score........... we waste walks and get nothing way too often.

    One high profile and beat into the ground grab, does not make him the GOAT. Frequency...... Nolasco was the annoying master.
  22. h2oface
    I have no idea what GOAT is here.....
  23. h2oface
    Our leader.............
  24. h2oface
    Dozier is adjusting his junk about as much as Nolasco did, now.
  25. h2oface
    Polanco!!!! Shock and awe...........
