    I am soooooo tired of watching Grossman not swing the bat. He just begs for a walk, and watches the third strike, that, even if it was a ball, is very hitable. This time...... the first (a good take, tough pitch to hit), but the second, AND THIRD strike..... meat.

    Any reason Stewart was pulled after only 70 pitches with a 4-1 lead?

    Total drag. I have to see Colon in LA on Monday! Perhaps a 2 game rental. What a joke. Wait all year for these games and Falvey and Levine gives me Colon! The only good news would be he retires or leaves the Twins. Looks like the Twins will miss Kershaw (in rotation to pitch Sunday), and one of Wood or Hill. Hard to say yet with the all the Dodger pitchers available exactly who will go on what day, but Kershaw will not be pitching against the Twins.

    Assigning feelings to me. Perhaps projection? I call foul and against the TD rules. I don't have to have a reason. I think this makes the Twins a side show, and it sucks.

    I don't care. Can't stand him. Disgusting. Who's next, Dennis Rodman?
  6. h2oface
    Ahhh, so it was. Castro didn't come in until the 8th!. Does that now mean they BOTH can be easily played?
  7. h2oface
    Castro can be easily played. First the Angels double steal, and then about 10 days later, Houston. Physical errors I get. But today's run on a throw to first after a strikeout. Inexcusable. At least in my book, and for a pro that is supposed to be so good and smart. Buxton is already mixed. That double that Rosario couldn't get to, sure seemed like made for Buxton. Two runs there. Those three runs are the ball game today. Great observation on Gibson being sent out for the 7th.

    Mauer cutting Rosario's throw off 15 feet from a play at home is a real head scratcher. Santana was hopping around with the same "what is he doing?" vibe, and Castro was covering his amazement up well. Was there a play? Certainly. Could he have been out? We will never know. Color me perplexed. http://m.mlb.com/video/v1608639383/minhou-gurriel-crushes-an-rbi-double-off-the-wall

    So far, even Castro (who has been better in the past but is not helping the staff, it seems) has been disappointing. I can't say I have been happy with the very few things that the new FO has done. They sit back and watch real well, though. Colon is my least favorite move. I dislike it even more than Wilk and Belisle.
  10. h2oface
    Berrios? I totally agree. Polanco? I see a Florimon playing a lot of AAA ball and bouncing around as a utility throw away over and over and over.
  11. h2oface
    The bad news...... and the horrible tragic pitching news. And Granite will be bouncing balls in to second from the outfield.
  12. h2oface
    Other than Hughes, the bullpen picked a relatively worthless game to perform well. 9 walks, 2 errors, a HBP.... and the bats managed to get only 5 hits and went 1-13 with RISP. 11 LOB and 13 Ks. Our pitchers, especially Pressly (2 out of 25 pitches), couldn't buy a swing and miss, and Hughes is toast. Berrios lost his cool, for sure, and 2 of his seven runs were let score by Hughes and the 0-2 meat to McCann. Houston left the door wide open for a comeback, and the Twins couldn't step through the threshold, inning after inning. It happens. And against Houston this year, it happens every game.
  13. h2oface
    Far too adventurous for the stoic old man, especially since what do they have to lose!?
  14. h2oface
    Maybe is Granite's name was Flint instead, we would be getting a spark instead of a fizzle with a wimpy arm.
  15. h2oface
    Lock down.....
  16. h2oface
    Not enough, Polanco! You owe us!!!
  17. h2oface
    Twins' bats, no problem swinging and missing. Bases loaded and no walks or hits. Amazing, I smell fate! Comeback!!!!
  18. h2oface
    Now 2 out of the last 3! he is on a roll! But no runs scored.... lock down. Now 3 more Twins' runs, please.
  19. h2oface
    22 pitches, and not one swing and miss... there it is... one. 23 and 1.
  20. h2oface
    Pressly cannot miss a bat anymore except if the batter doesn't swing.....
  21. h2oface
    Well maybe not. But still 5 innings to catch them. That was a start. At this pace per inning....., and a lock down pen.... we can tie in the 6th, and take a 3 run lead in the 7th.
  22. h2oface
    Here we go.... rally time... record comeback coming......
  23. h2oface
    Cuddyer...... (he did negotiate a buyout, I think, but he quit, too)
  24. h2oface
    I agree. Of course we all know better. That is why it is silly to call it an 8 run error. It really is just the one run error (the batter's, or the runner fielder's choice out), maybe two if a double play could have been pulled off (which we all know can never be assumed, right?). Unearned runs allowed tell me a lot about a pitcher. It tells me they lost their cool and could not overcome the small bit of adversity. The high bouncer was just unlucky. Berrios is supposed to miss bats, too. Berrios should be able to rise up and cover a little error. That is his job.
  25. h2oface
    A catcher can set up just behind the plate, too. Just can't block the plate. The runner can't run into the catcher if he is not blocking the plate. Castro sets up behind the plate, and Springer is probably nailed. This type of play is happening a lot, now. Setting up that far in front of the plate is not a good strategy, I think. Better to see the action in front of you, than be blind of what is happening behind you.
