    Or just 4 and 9 starts ago. I don't know how it is considered ace stuff when you can only K 3 batters in 7.2 innings. But I understand wanting a ace so bad a fan will create one in their mind......
  2. h2oface
    Really? Now he is an ace? With that season ERA? OK..........
  3. h2oface
    Burn more arms. Bullpen management.
  4. h2oface
    relief.

    This has to be Rocco thinking that Duran needs a game to get confidence. Not a good start. Duran cannot miss bats these days. Lots of contact, in every at bat.

    Lewis just jogged the whole way to first on that double play. Is he hurt? I thought he was Mr. Speed. It looked like if he was trying, he could have beat it out there.
  7. h2oface
    He knows what he expects for himself, and it is expressed well with his own words, and I think that explains it all.
  8. h2oface
    I thinks the thumbs down is misinterpreted. It is defined on TD as, I think but can't find where I read it - the info was on this site - a disagreement. To express that you disagree. One can disagree without explaining why. Sometimes it is very evident. I think people sometimes take it as an affront, and personal, but by definition, perhaps, it really isn't.

    Well, he could have said the same thing without the Rivera reference. He didn't use Thielbar, for instance 😇 Unfortunately, it is happening pretty often lately for Duran. And giving himself the whole year is...... well..... kind of depressing. Aw shucks. The amount of contact batters get is even more depressing. Even if he gets the out, the hitters and making great contact throughout the at bats. At Jeffers and Vazquez keep calling the breaking stuff that is getting tattooed. Very unfortunate.

    Good discussion.
  11. h2oface
    Well, we disagree that innings is more important than pitch count. But we will never know how he would have done. We do know that Thielbar offered absolutely no relief, gave the kid an earned run gift, as well as a loss. The perfect teammate. His old tired arm can throw every day. And worse results.
  12. h2oface
    That should be on the jersey. too. For all the players in the pen. And one for Nick and all the articles .........
  13. h2oface
    Exactly. But these are professional baseball players. Kershaw was coming back from an injury. Tender. Old. Brittle. And he hadn't pitched as many innings is his rehab. And he stretched out more in the Show. Sure, a vet. He has stretched out before. But more innings/pitches is a progression, I generally might agree with you, but in this case, this is the time to get at least one more batter. Lots of pitchers have a rough battling inning, and can find it the next, and late in his outing. It really doesn't make a lot of sense to me, to think that a young person can't pitch a few more pitches like the old guys. Steady progression, no matter when it is. It is still the same game and mound.
  14. h2oface
    Young. Strong. Has to get stretched out sometime. Steady progression. Ozuna was one to be careful with, too. It's Showtime. Baby players in the minors. Become a MLB player in the Show. Or not. One more batter...... we will never know......
  15. h2oface
    Is that Delmon Young in leftfield? We are playing position players at every position that are not very good defensively right now. Except Santana. But hey.... they are versatile. Just the way the FO likes it.
  16. h2oface
    Festa blowing it was uncertain. Thielbar blowing it was certain. 😇
  17. h2oface
    Why not? One pitch can be a double play! Not great, but..... Thielbar to wreck the game. Baldelli's Nick Punto. Or is that Farmer. Theilbar to potentially give the loss to Festa. He earned at least the next batter with the game pitched and only 88 pitches.
  18. h2oface
    I can't say that I got to see his whole advance from start to finish on all the video I could see. You had to kinda but together the play from different camera angles without a complete uninterrupted sequence. But I thought Watkins should have been removed from base coaching 2 years ago. Sooooooo many horrible decisions. Ron Washington was great last year(s) for Texas, but he wasn't available this year........ damn managing job with the Angels.
  19. h2oface
    I agree with Chief. He was not running max effort after he got the stop sign. Then it was go. Why else would he be pissed at Watkins? He was pissed because of his signals changing, when he could have scored.
  20. h2oface
    Good thing they didn't bunt a run in with runners on second and third with no outs. That would have been a really embarrassing way to tie the game. I mean 1/5 to 1/over3 odds to get a hit, and way less against Sale today. A way better strategy.
  21. h2oface
    Our catchers sure like to call breaking stuff. Mostly what is getting drilled.
  22. h2oface
    I like his "The Twins haven't been helping the Atlanta starter out by swinging at his pitches out of the zone" Right. They don't swing at pitches in the zone, either, (especially close ones with 2 strikes).
  23. h2oface
    He doesn't do slumps. Just ask him.
  24. h2oface
    I love baseball. I find most of the time, it is more fun to watch games that the Twins aren't playing in, as you can relax, no tension, and enjoy the game. Something you, especially, might try. Probably good for your health. Mental health, for sure.

    One swing from glory with Lewis coming up!
