    Two games in a row, and against the Orioles, that Berrios is just not that ace. Frustrating game. Now Berrios' game to lose.
  2. h2oface
    Absolutely. He takes way too much time once he starts to the plate.
  3. h2oface
    Berrios takes too long with the high leg in the stretch. Easy to steal on.
  4. h2oface
    Defensive Castro ..... making the great throw, eh?
  5. h2oface
    He should have a "injury" and get some time in extended spring training until he can contrubute instead of being a liability.
  6. h2oface
    See, if Gonzalez learns not to swing, that would have been a runner walked in.
  7. h2oface
    Right down the middle and he still can't hit it. Not even touch it.
  8. h2oface
    Just don't swing, Adrianza.
  9. h2oface
    Batting the two craters in the line-up back to back now.
  10. h2oface
    Swinging at another ball. I don't know why he just doesn't swing these days. He is just pathetic at the plate. When will it end?
  11. h2oface
    COME ON MARWIN! Time to contribute, Mr. Pop-up.

    Kepler needs to do some damage with the bat to make up for his laziness and the run he is responsible for. At least the Mancini fly didn't hurt us.
  13. h2oface
    2 of the hits charged to Berrios should have been outs.
  14. h2oface
    That is what I mean by Castro creating wild pitches. Folks claim he is such a good defensive catcher.... but those are the pitches that a good catcher stops, and blocks. Castro way too often turns the pitch into a wild pitch by not defending it. I don't see the better defense that people claim Castro provides. This defense is pretty bad this game.
  15. h2oface
    What the hell was that? Kepler could have easily had that catch of that easy fly ball by Mancini! Saunter in and let it drop? Bogus. There goes the no-hitter/perfect game.
  16. h2oface
    Missed another late bloomer, it looks like.
  17. h2oface
    Rooker now has 56 ABs and 28 Ks. 50% of his official at bats are strikeouts! That is truly amazing, and not in a good way. Lewis is now hitting .192 with a .557 OPS. The overhaul of the farm staff is not producing results. Hey, I don't care if it is "early". This is totally discouraging. At least Graterol is inspiring.
  18. h2oface
    Yup. Well known recent history.
  19. h2oface
    But..... who wouldn't like/want a fast start (Vlad jr) instead of a slow start? Everybody. And.... Lewis is repeating or returning to High A, and not advancing to AA to start the season.

    I think Romero was misused this series and against Baltimore as the 26th Man. I get that they wanted "innngs eaten". Romero was used for 2 innings in each game. He pitched to three only 3 batters in the first inning (7th) he pitched of each game. I thought, as he came out for the second inning each time, and at the time, that this was a bad managerial move. Against Baltimore's 7-8-9 batters, he gave up a second pitch infield single (one that I thought Gonzalez could have come up with) that was part of the subsequent double play, and then another ground out. Against Houston, he pitched the 1-2-3 inning against Springer, Altuve, and Bregman! But the goal was to use him to eat innings, and not his development, I thought and think. If used for just 1 inning each time, he comes away with great confidence, and we all know how important that is. Instead, just the opposite. I think this was playing an ill-advised short game concerning Romero.

    How many times does the player that was traded or "let go" via free agency or released, come back and just destroy his former team? It seems like it happens a lot to the Twins, and it is always a good story so I feel like I read a story like that across MLB somewhat often. Apparently Gonzalez didn't get the memo, missed the stories, and failed to make a new one. Batting 6th, 0-fer 11, 3 Ks, 1 walk.
  22. h2oface
    Runs aren't up for Rochester (he says without looking it up) are they?... unless they were really bad at the beginning of last year too.
  23. h2oface
    Love it! Are you thinking about throwing in a quiz we can take at the end? That would be fun.
  24. h2oface
    Royce Lewis is not so shiney so far this year, only hitting .203, In a return to High A. Kirilloff hasn't even played. Neither has Gordon. Rooker hitting .222 with 26 Ks in 54 ABs!
  25. h2oface
    Third base production for the Twins so far this year......... Gonzalez/Astudillo/Adrianza .195/.258/.515 http://www.espn.com/mlb/team/stats/_/name/min/season/2019/seasontype/2/split/81 82 ABs, 13 singles, 2 doubles, 1 homer, 5 RBI, 6 BBs, 16Ks I don't think Sano has to do much more than be ready to play to get the full time job.
