    Must have had a view we didn't see to reverse the call. Easy to just say replay gets it wrong when one doesn't know what all the angles were.That pitch was was outside as well.
  2. h2oface
    If for nothing else, for the pitchers to get a break between innings.
  3. h2oface
    5 pitches to the first 3 batters. Then Gonzalez makes him pitch, and it is a 4 pitch walk. How about working the count, boys.

    That Castro defense. A glove man.

    Pineda says thanks for yet another inherited runner scored, Harper.

    In a blink Buxton will be 30. Tic toc.

    Would you, as a fan, rather the Twins win a World Series once every ten years, and suck the other years? Or........... qualify for the playoffs 5 of the ten years, and never win? I go with the first option. I don't know why the guys that were never Twins' guys until they got paid to be, are guys that anyone believes really care. Why is it a secret what the FO's MO is? They are not really dedicated from their heart, anyway. They are bought and sold on the market place, to the highest bidder. They would leave in a heartbeat for a bigger payday. Convince one of the richest owners of a MLB team to spend on his hobby, and I believe they care. What else is there in professional sports, but to win a championship? It ain't about the prospects and the farm. It is about winning a championship.

    Garver hits a homer in the game, and he gets a WPA of -0.43. Now that is an advanced stat.

    I feel for you. That's the thing with sports. Spend that kind of money and time on a concert of your favorite musician.... and you 99% of the time go away happy. At least it wasn't a game that they just gave up and let Adrianza pitch. That would have been even worse. This game...... the shift cost the game in the 9th. It could have been a happy walk to the parking lot. In regard to the Carlson claim that the shift works more than it doesn't.... I don't see any concrete proof of that. Many times, the shift is considered to work, but the fact is, if the infield was just in position with a normal slightly adjusted alignment, it would have also worked on the same play. That isn't considered in the mix. Hard to really make the stat work when the other option can't be known. There was also a base open. The Twins didn't have to pitch to Davis, who has been resurgent. Could have walked him. Grossman would have still probably been pulled, though, as he is hitting .154 against lefties. But that is neither here or there at this point.

    When you shift on every batter, and then have Adrianza at first with runners on second and third........ It is not a mystery to me why reliable Rogers gives up a game winning hit that should have been the third out if you didn't try to run the team so cute. I wish Baldelli would explain why he used Rosario in the 9th to be walked... because with 1 out and runners on second and third and the game on the line, whoever batted would have been walked to set up the double play. Why was Rosario on the bench, anyway? The offense needs to score runs. The pitching would look a lot better if the bats would score some runs, and get some hits with RISP.

    A WS contender that starts Grossman and Herrmann? I wouldn't bet on it, myself. But hey, this last month the Twins lost a series to the White Sox and split with the last series with KC. That says more about the Twins and who the A's are playing.
  12. h2oface
    Totally agree. Nunez was an all-star, too..... that was a laugher. The Twins......... they are looking a lot like smoke and mirrors these days. That is the saddest development and continuing emerging reality.
  13. h2oface
    Maybe batting practice is in order for a spell, eh?
  14. h2oface
    LIAM HENDRIKS! is, and will always be..... Liam Hendriks. Thanks for that. It makes it all better. NOT.
  15. h2oface
    Absolutely. Makes no sense.
  16. h2oface
    Bases loaded in the 8th and 9th. Can't hit Liam Hendriks! LIAM HENDRIKS!
  17. h2oface
    Good thing that wasn't Phil Cuzzi at third base......
  18. h2oface
    Blowing the bases loaded threat in the 8th by the offense was a big misfire.
  19. h2oface
    I hate the shifts.
  20. h2oface
    Not taking the bait. That is argumentative, and not appropriate for game threads. I am learning.
  21. h2oface
    HOW ABOUT SOME RUNS, TWINS!!!!!
  22. h2oface
    .... meanwhile, Kimbrel now has 6 straight scoreless appearances. 6ip, 9k, 5 saves...
  23. h2oface
    And Berrios gets "deGromed" by his fellow pitching teamates once again.
  24. h2oface
    Oh. I can see why talk about cats and such is for other threads....
  25. h2oface
    Just curious...... how is talk about baseball, any baseball, regardless of how much it has been discussed, not appropriate for a game thread, but color of words and talk about shoes, is?
