    oooooooo.... 4 pitch lead off walk!
  2. h2oface
    Here comes our .400 hitter......

    Mark of a good pitcher - your team scores to tie or go ahead in the top of the inning, you shut the other team down with a goose egg in the bottom of the inning.
  4. h2oface
    Pathetic.
  5. h2oface
    4-10 coming into this series.....

    So many writers and fans were always praising Thorpe's "stuff". I never saw it and I certainly don't now. I don't get the fascination. Plus, did you read that TD article about his massive drop in velocity? Our two biggest contrats this year are not contributing. And so it goes......

    Not taking BP isn't working out too well this year.
  8. h2oface
    Why does this feel like this game is being treated like a throw away game?
  9. h2oface
    I do. Remember when Kepler couldn't hit lefties? Right.
  10. h2oface
    No problem hitting Wisler....

    Sign of a good pitcher: Your team scores in the top of the inning.... you shut them down in the bottom of the inning.
  12. h2oface
    That's clean up time Eddie. Especially after they walked Sano to get to you!
  13. h2oface
    That's what I'm talkin' about!!!

    2, Buxton, 4, 1, 3:31 DH's need days off? To give their butt a rest? Maybe getting calf massages with Donaldson? Cruz is one scary guy to come off the bench in a dramatic spot. Odd lineup. Does Baldelli filp a coin about where to put Gonzalez and Adrianza, or does the guy with the highest OPS get to pick? Here's to offensive breakouts...... might need it, too. The Royals scored 13 against the White Sox yesterday, and Smeltzer is on the hump.
  15. h2oface
    Maybe Cruz and Donaldson are getting massages.
  16. h2oface
    Donaldson needs a calf masseuse on permanent payroll to keep those bulging calves loose 2 times a day. I think he can afford it. Everyone has to have a plan to keep on the field and being able to do what they do without something stupid like this repeating itself over and over. That should be part of his plan. Yin Yoga daily wouldn't hurt, either. Keep them babies LOOSE!

    Bummer. I had a medical insurance company phone call come in..... at the beginning of the 8th, sure and comfy that record win 11 was coming. At the end of the long call, I checked score, and couldn't believe it. Played it back. It was true. They both looked sketchy. Romo was lucky the hanging stuff didn't get blasted, and wow, not even caring about Dyson stealing (why can't our speedy guys steal?) with the time his delivery takes. Beat by a 2-10 team! We still can't get a win streak longer than 6 even winning all these games the last two years. And I was thinking we could win them all......

    The sss numbers would really be horrible if you took out the first two games! Fans were drooling over the future .400 hitter after 5 games and a .389 BA, and crying after going hitless for the next 6 games, and o for August. Such is the beginning of a season blues. For all. I don't think he will hit anywhere close to .400, (maybe above .300) but should develop some power ala Puckett. Not many stolen bases in his future. I would hope the Twins would try to culture a better second base option. We really missed a great value in DJ LeMahieu, and went on the cheap with Schoop, instead, that lead us here. I hope it works out.

    I couldn't watch the whole game, but what I did see of it, every pitch that Berrios threw that was getting touched, and batters were making contact. Even the fly outs were getting tagged. It is a weird season. I hope that it isn't just August, and it doesn't matter if it is the beginning of an unprecidented short season or the dog days of a long season. My favorite plays of the whole game are in this video, and it didn't even make a recap mention. Especially the catch. Outfielders just don't get to this ball. And he doesn't even have to dive, just glide. https://www.mlb.com/video/byron-buxton-s-wheels-on-display?t=statcast

    "Thielbar went 2 1/3 innings in relief, giving up three runs and striking out three." Not a fan of the Thielbar move, at all, but he only gave up 2 runs. But 5 hits and 2 walks and only 7 outs is a more complete story...... Perhaps Baldelli should have pulled him after the 8th, and not sent him out for another inning. May gets a save with a 4 run lead and only needing 2 outs and 5 pitches. That doesn't happen often. Kinda scary at the end. May does tend to give up the dinger..... 9-2 sure is a great place to be. I can't wait for the "fearsome offense" to be fearsome.
  22. h2oface
    10 games. So fickle. I guess content is the goal these days. Do you think that by the second half of last season the word was out about fastballs? And 5% less fastballs (56 to 51.2%) is 1 in 20 pitches..... which I don't consider a lot. Can Christian Yelich be "fixed"?
  23. h2oface
    Great job on the Thielbar "story". I am sure many of us remember the MLB beginning of it in 2013 well. The candle burned bright and fast. It is not easy to make an enticing story out of a filler talent. Maybe one day we can read a story like the Shane Bieber story as a Twin. Now that would be a great story. In the mean time, I will be biting my nails when Thielbar is called, and probably cussing, for as little a time as it is bound to last.

    Even with the walk.... very impressive outing by Stashak.
  25. h2oface
    Historically.... Rogers not as tough pitching 2 days in a row. But I hope he breaks through that envelope. Plus..... for me, always better to take care of today's game because there is no sure outcome that Rogers will be needed tomorrow. And he really hasn't been pitching much. 2 total innings.....
