I can't believe that wasn't a sac fly. Sheez. We are so gutless. -
Beamer calls right in the middle of the plate "the outside edge". Isn't he watching the same feed we are?
-
Berrios must be watching Too Many Days Eddie game appearances for inspiration.
-
"However, it has been Buxton’s aggression at the plate that has led to a hot start." I had to smile when I read this. A week ago, no one would have said Buxton has had a hot start. I always read some that are so quick to, once again, disparage Buxton, and refer to him as Mr. Glass, or some other describtives that mean the same. He was coming off shoulder surgery, and then had a slight ankle injury in summer camp. He is still partially compensating for both, a bit. Stay on the right side of history, and always have faith in Buxton.

I would take any of them over buying cast off Ildemaro Vargas and adding him to the roster instead of one of the above 3. Just what we don't need, another utility guy, especially a light hitting 29 year old utility guy. AND...... they just added Astudillo TOO! I would rather see any of the 3 before him again as well.
-
No calls for Buxton to be traded today. Hmmm. As it should be everyday.

In Search of a Why Behind Mitch Garver's Slump
h2oface replied to Derek Wetmore's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Garver needs to not read any of this, and not think about it, and relax and hit. Like he did yesterday. Then eveyone can make up more things about what he doesn't have to think about. This timeline is basically the end of spring training right now for timing at the plate..... -
Hmmmmm. And balls and strikes was what the comment was addressed to. I do agree about the vacuum, though. After all, this isn't outer space or a Dyson.
-
I never understand how more wrong calls and the "even out" rationale makes it OK. It is just more wrong calls that steal the game from the players, and affecting outcomes that never get to happen. Every day. Every game.
-
Any wrong call, and I contend, especially the close ones, the ones the best eye's of a batter or command of a pitcher absolutely deserve, is horrible. If it isn't Meals, it will be another guessing human. Seems this was the prefect year to distance that plate umpire 6 feet behind home plate and signal the correct calls fed to them by the tech. Talent doesn't win games. Execution does. This team seems to have gotten fatheaded and needs to wake up and perform instead of thinking what they look like on paper and what they did last season matters. We are 30% of the season gone. Time to wake up.

Tyler Duffey: The Bullpen Ace that Almost Got Away
h2oface replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
The Twins couldn't keep Hendriks around, but they could shuffle through many as bad or worse through the same period, while other teams found a way to shuffle Hendriks and Hendriks shuffled himself. The rules of player movement are tenuous at the AAAA level. Just ask Oliver Drake. The biggest gaffe is the pitching experts in house not even giving Anderson a shot, and he was young. Really inexcusable for that to happen, and the result was immediate. Our guys just totally missed what was right under their nose while fishing for the catch of the day around the league, catch that they had to trade folks like Pressly for...... (who, btw, is sucking so far this year. https://www.crawfishboxes.com/2020/8/12/21364521/astros-will-ryan-pressly-be-ok ) while giving away..... giving away... Anderson. -
KCR 4, MIN 2: Bad Day for Berríos, Bats
h2oface replied to Matthew Taylor's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Berrios ERA going into the game....... 4.80. After 5.31 Settling in as a 5.00 ERA pitcher? I hope not. -
The Twins just made the Royals a contender and the Royals made the Twins a pretender. Berrios is settling in at about a 5.00 ERA pitcher. (actually went up again this game)
-
throwing in the towel 3 games in a row...... and I was starting to think Baldelli was a genius.
-
DINGER TIME KEP!
-
I have a bad feeling about this Soler AB.....
-
And Rosario's 2 base error is scored a double. Charity.
-
I just hate this butt slide technique so many are using (trying to use) these days.
-
If you swing at the meat, instead of watching it, sometimes good things happen. They can never happen if you just watch it go by.
-
I can just hear the "I didn't have my stuff, but I kept battling", and Baldelli "he really battled out there, even without his best stuff".... If you don't bring your best stuff to the game, game after game..... maybe that is your new best stuff?
-
That second pitch to Gonzalez, a 94 mph fastball with absolutely no movement, thigh high right down the middle, and no swing. That is the pitch that pitchers say in the interview.... I just made that one "mistake" when the batter parks it.... they always make a ton of mistakes. The batters just make it appear that they don't.
-
deep breath.
-
"Berrios is having a tough time throwing that for a strike, today" Berrios has had a tough time all season so far.
-
It's possible for KC to go last to first by playing the Twins 10 times in August. And to think that with the Twins sitting at 10-2 with a 5-3 lead over the Pirates in the 8th, with a 4 game sweep eminent, I had musings that with the Royals coming up, this could be a month for records of greatness.......
-
no shift....
