    Cut with the negative waves, man! Sano's comin' and Buxton's just getting warmed up!
  2. h2oface
    Update.......... Sano goes 3-4 with a couple doubles, a sac fly, and no strike outs on Tuesday. In AA still (what's the hold up?) His AA average now at .267 and OPS at.878. But, his rehab stint line is now 8/20 with 2 homers, 2 doubles, 2 walks, 8 RBI, 6Ks, hitting .400/.440/.800 with an OPS of 1.240! Good thing decisions aren't made after one game..... those pesky small samples.

    I heard that Kirilloff and Graterol want their consonants back. I remember it by equating Kirilloff with the two Ls in Killer, add the off........ and Graterol becoming great.... hopefully, and it matches Brusdar.

    Third base production is dismal! We need much better. Now whether it ends up coming from Sano, or others, it is certainly a need, especially from third base. Plus, he could have a week of crap, and then two days of it clicking in..... that is when someone is ready to go. Slumps in the show are always happening, even to the best. Rosario started the season 0-14 or something, and is in another slump now. Or, we could keep having to give Adrianza at bats, even though we would rather not, but we have to. A hot spring training didn't mean much to his MLB readiness it seems. Player Batting Stats - As 3B http://www.espn.com/mlb/team/stats/_/name/min/season/2019/seasontype/2/split/81

    Great time to see 3 games at Angel Stadium!

    He'll get to AAA, but not yet. After the Monday, May 6th game, for his current rehab stint, he's 5/16 with 2 homers, 2 walks, 7 RBI, 6Ks, hitting .313/.400/.688 with an OPS of 1.088 after Monday's 0-fer 5. Two games with The Miracle, the second being a 4/4, and then promoted to Pensacola. So he is 1-11 in AA, not AAA. But for his 5 games...... not too bad of a line for "spring training". No matter what the totals end up, it will still be SSS and in the minors, regardless of level. I think there is no hurry as well. Give him time. But I certainly am not discouraged after 5 games in rehab. And I think it is all one rehab.... regardless of his level, and it would be prudent to look at the whole SSS picture as it develops, instead of chopping it up to even smaller. http://www.milb.com/player/index.jsp?player_id=593934#/career/R/hitting/2019/ALL

    I love surprises. Perez may be the best one of the season. Time will tell, but he is making a statement. AND IT AIN'T QUIET!
  8. h2oface
    All Alex Kirilloff (one r, two Ls, and two Fs) does is HIT! Doesn't matter when, doesn't matter where. He just hits. Hell, he is already 21...... he's getting old. Time to get him up here! We had a Killer on the team once, how about a Kiriller?
  9. h2oface
    He's 5/16 with 2 homers, 2 walks, 6Ks, hitting .313/.400/.688 with an OPS of 1.088 after todays 0-fer. I guess you missed the 4/4 game. I don't know where you are getting your minor league totals from his re-hab stint so far. Maybe you are just considering most recent stop. It is all SSS, but let's be accurate with the totals. Sano has been around the Twins org since 2010. It is really time for him to explode and be a star, eh?
  10. h2oface
    Hinch said you have nothing to worry about with Gonzalez, and he always starts slow. Also, during a Playoff interview..... he said that Gonzalez was the best short stop on Houston! That's saying something. Trading for prospects? Crazy talk.
  11. h2oface
    All in all..... those are pretty weak dividends. Nunez was an obligatory all-star, but that was pretty much a joke and points to how horrible that team was.
  12. h2oface
    Yes! That was unique, and I didn't consider that trade because it involved an MLB player, too... Nathan. I would consider a couple years with injury thrown in established. Gomez traded away was trading a young MLB player, for comparison....
  13. h2oface
    Both Cave and Adrianza are not needed on this roster. When they are, it becomes a game to put them in a game, even when you would rather not. And they are truly not inspiring pinch hitters. Gonzalez is finally coming on after another slow start, and Sano will be at third. Maybe you lose Adrianza. Maybe not. No big loss (....he did have that homer in the 1-0 Houston game....). Cave has the option. I hope the bats wake up again in Toronto.

    It seems there is no confidence in May by management. He is now seems relegated to mop up, pitch when behind, and with the lower tier of the relief rotations. The Yankees were 0-5 against teams with winning records until this weekend. Leave it to our Twins to help them out, and give them a series win against a team with a winning record, and improve their record to 2-6. Onward to Toronto. Gotta win all three to take the season series.
  15. h2oface
    I hate trades of above average MLB players for prospects. I can't think of one that has benefited the Twins more than the player they traded did. Can you? And I don't mean rule 5 or something like that, or prospects for prospects. Or MLB players for MLB players.
  16. h2oface
    Losing 2 of three, only getting 4 hits today........ against so many subs for the Yankees....... so you think one game and the "curse" is over? Not what I am feeling..........
  17. h2oface
    Just dumb
  18. h2oface
    Where are our guys that can be farmed up and pitch like this?
  19. h2oface
    "Get in shape to pitch"...... ???? Pineda is in "shape"? I guess he is not a stickler on fitness, no matter how much time he has to make it happen.
  20. h2oface
    I think I will not be making a decision on whether they nailed it until at least August, Only 31 games in here........ like the nail barely in and just sticking in the stud, and has a long way to go to be embedded. The bullpen.... I don't know that I could say they even "tacked" it. The Ks are coming. So are the slumps. We will see it the nail gets too much rust on it to get all the way in.
  21. h2oface
    Since Baltimore, the offense has already dropped off big time, as expected. No need to wait. Rosario's average has plummeted about .080.... from .300 to .220. Almost all are in the regression to what will be their norm. Two games with Houston had 3 hits each. A great Odorizzi outing even won one of those. Timely hitting makes a winner, not necessarily the greatest stats. This could go really cold, or they will be winners. It is fun to watch right now if you are a Twins fan. It would be more fun if pitching was more reliable. But results don't lie. You have to love it.
  22. h2oface
    Great time for Pineda to start to pitch well and take it to his former team, and leave NY with a 2-1 series win.
  23. h2oface
    I remember when Garver and Turner were both in the minors. Those that made prospect lists always favored Turner by far. I never understood it. Always advanced Turner before Garver. I would advocate for Garver, and didn't think Turner, with such a week bat, could ever be the future. Garver was one of the 3 finalista along with Turner for the Johnny Bench award in 2013 (that Turner won) that last year before the draft. Garver all the way, baby. Defense will just get better and better. Turner still can't hit.

    Are you throwing Mejia (more?) out too? Or is this with all relief pitching, as the other teams are. After all, they probably have at least one reliever they would like to not count as happened, too.
