    ??? To me that means playing baseball and timing and all. Playing shape. Out of shape again is a bit of a tangent to get from playing shape? Is this just your assumption, or is there some news and reports I have missed? Are you saying he gained 20 pounds and did nothing physical? - because I have heard/read just the opposite, that he continued to workout under Twins' guidance. And I have only read from the beginning that it wouldn't be until middle of May or so that we see him in the show. Please share links or something if you can. I would be very interested.

    I remember about 5 years ago there was a player with a great story and a fan favorite in many of the same ways as Astudillo. He was in his late 20's. Even had pet nicknames. Almost single-handedly carried a hopeful Twins team through April. An amazing month by all MLB standards. Nobody knew a future PED suspension was in his future. There were a lot of reasons he didn't make it, and the many fans went nuts. They loved to root for him, and were disappointed and angry at the opportunites that they thought were unjustly taken away or not supplied. Chris Colabello had a pretty good darn good 333 AB season with Toronto in 2015, too. But Cola was done in 2016. I wouldn't sell on Castro just yet.

    "Hildenberger came in and struck out back-to-back hitters. In 5 1/3 innings this year, he has allowed zero runs on four hits with nine strikeouts and one walk. Hildy is throwing 70% strikes with a 17.5% whiff rate." Hey, I am as happy as the next fan for Hildenberger saving Parker's mess and closing out the 1 game in spectacular fashion. But let's get real here. That was just days after letting 3 inherited runners score while coming in with the bases loaded in the Philly debacle. The save was a spectacular one game performance. Parker is surely not my choice for closing, but people calling for his DFA (not on this thread but game threads) is ridiculous. He is doing well in the pen mostly. And so is Hildenberger. But talking about reliever's performances and stats without including the inherited runners scored is just academically unsound and intellectually dishonest. The reliever's job is relief, and if they just pass on the poor stats to the previous pitcher while looking clean, that is not relief, and it speaks to their value probably as much if not more than those stats that were noted. I certainly hope that Hildenberger does not become the closer. Right now, I think the Twins don't have one. Rodgers may not be one either, and he is currently my choice, but getting no opportunites. All good set up options, but we need a closer. Any great closers on the free agent market? But make no mistake.... 8-4 looks real sweet at the end of the week.

    Somebody is going to get a 3 year deal for Kimbrel. I hope it is the Twins.
  9. h2oface
    I can breathe! Now that amazed me. Way to go Hildenberger.
  10. h2oface
    GO GET 'EM HILDENBERGER!!!!!
  11. h2oface
    What? Baldelli not going to let a pitcher walk in 3 runs this time?
  12. h2oface
    Last time Hildenberger came in to save a game with the bases loaded...........
  13. h2oface
    My pick would be Rodgers and the wicked curve. Definately NOT Hildenberger.
  14. h2oface
    28 pitches and the 4th batter still in the box.
  15. h2oface
    Falvine isn't the one picking Parker to close out of the staff. That is Baldelli. There are other options in the pen.
  16. h2oface
    Baldelli chosing Parker for closer..... misguided and a rookie move.
  17. h2oface
    If the pen blows another Berrios game............
  18. h2oface
    Eddie Parker. I hate that Parker is our closer. Fools gold so far. Don't be fooled.
  19. h2oface
    Castro calling the high..... can you call 91 mph?.... heat. Got him.
  20. h2oface
    I wouldn't call that horrible... just eddie scary.....
  21. h2oface
    No control of his splitter at all....
  22. h2oface
    91 mph closer.... argh.
  23. h2oface
    How about a game ending double play! Too much to ask?
  24. h2oface
    Baldelli in a bromance with Parker..... Not my choice here...... May the force be with him...
  25. h2oface
    After 8 or so games.... I am really surprised at how poorly so many of the top prospects are doing. I sure hope that changes.
