    "A ghost from Kenta Maeda’s last start came back to haunt him, as he failed to retire the leadoff hitter, issuing a walk." A walk that was a missed called strike three. A perfect pitch. One that the batter can't make himself swing at, and was right on the bottom corner of the zone. That would have been 3 outs before the hit, HBP, and the triple. That would have changed quite a bit.

    Sorry. Do I need to use an emoji? ?
  3. h2oface
    What?

    Classic. Back to Twins 2021 baseball. That's OK. 7-inning games and runners on second in the extra inning(s) aren't real MLB baseball anyway. And Gordon isn't a center fielder. And Rogers was tired from not playing on Tuesday. Classic.

    Nothing like a 5 day break to cool off the short spurt against the Tigers before the break.

    We really deserved our run..... and that strikeout, though, eh?

    Freebie there. Baddoo was right. Maeda "walk" in the second was a strike, and touched the zone, and he didn't get the call, and there would have been three outs and Baddoo never would have come to the plate. Two close wrong calls have totally affected the game tonight. Until Rogers can't come through anyway.

    I'd rather have Cruz at the plate than on first with no outs and a double play now in play.

    I kinda like them, albeit I never really like the "jersey" type tops, and prefer the button down. One thing is that all the players have a special souvenir uniform to keep from their time as All-Star (like a special Olympic Team uniform) and for some, it may be the only ASG they get to play in, so that is very cool for them. And each uniform has the emblem of the team they play for on it, too.

    Ssssssshhhhhhhhh ?? Only the Twins and Tigers fans even know about that. Nobody else was paying any attention. Whatever door you come through to get there - back, side or front - you are there. I just hope that if and when he comes in the game, there are no inherited runners on base..... ?

    2021: Twins 4.5, MLB 8.8 = 4.3 difference 2020: Twins 3.8, MLB 7.8 = 4.0 difference 2019: Twins 3.2, MLB 7.4 = 4.2 difference Yup. Relatively, basically treading water, even though slightly increased.

    Great article, Tom, and awesome info!

    Some like to use generalities to complain about others being critical, and call it complaining, and complain about that, and make it about who they think is the complainer, instead of just presenting their own ideas and moving on. How did you feel about the original post and subject of the thread, and how Kirilloff and Larnach are doing? Ynoa was traded for Jaime Garcia, who I would never want, ever, and many didn't as I remember (but I can't speak for others and include them in a group speak, which is never fair - but I do remember hearing the groaning, even though it was just typing), and it turns out, a couple days later, that the Twins didn't want him either. But the Braves knew who they wanted, and apparently, why, and got him. Impressive vision. But, "It is not an easy job, and only one Team is ultimately successful each year."

    Well, I am impressed by the Duo, but not getting starry eyed, and neither is anyone else, it seems, that is not a Twins' fan. I guess if you cherry pick the ones that are not doing so well, and ignore those that are, they look better in that light. The second half of the season will be the test.... https://www.si.com/mlb/2021/07/06/mlb-rookie-of-the-year-race-the-opener And no reason to "just let go" of the recent gaffs, like Baddoo and Ynoa, that people who are paid to get it right instead of wrong are responsible for. Accountability is key to a successful Organization, especially when you use that spot to pick up released players like we saw this off season, some which are already gone, and some which we still have and still are .... well.... not helping. It is not an easy job, and only one Team is ultimately successful each year. But no reason to pretend it didn't happen, especially since it was just a couple of months ago, and it still hurts.

    You knew it all along. Just had to be patient
  16. h2oface
    I didn't chose that still ........ all youtube's doing.....
  17. h2oface
    No worry. Just individual option. You can keep all the flair you want!
  18. h2oface
    End this please, Josh! No tenth inning. You would have to start on second, too!
  19. h2oface
    It's those massive arms of Rortvedt. If they hit the ball, it can go.
  20. h2oface
    3 Ks. Struck out the side. That will give them something to write about while he is having one of his (gulp) best years.
  21. h2oface
    Yikes.
  22. h2oface
    Rogers just made his own inherited runners..... inherited them himself, and then let them all in!
  23. h2oface
    OK.... who said sweep?
  24. h2oface
    Speaking of these , um "badges"?... is there a way in settings to SHUT THEM OFF?!
  25. h2oface
    Donaldson didn't even look at Diaz to make the decision to take home. That seems like the best plan. Don't let Diaz stop the runs from scoring.
