    Those 90 mph fastballs with no control.... just lean into them, what the hell.

    I am so sick of seeing Rodney on the Twins. I hope they can trade him immediately if not sooner. They got lucky, relatively, so far. No need to press it. It will just hurt his trade value for the foolish GM that trades for him.

    Great strikeout pitch! Perfect location inside.
  4. h2oface
    Ok... double play grounder and we are back at bat!
  5. h2oface
    65 pitches in the 5th..... what to do....
  6. h2oface
    That pitch Villar had no business hitting. Perfect location down and away but a strike.
  7. h2oface
    The homer pitch, was a lucky golf shot. Who swings at that low pitch, anyway? The double pitch...... grad A certified prime meat.
  8. h2oface
    Molitor is a genius? Who else would have batted Grossman clean up?!
  9. h2oface
    Hey now.... Buxton hit a triple A lead off homer today.... (and then struck out twice....)
  10. h2oface
    That's the spirit. Pitchers just have to hit themselves when the ones that are paid to, don't.
  11. h2oface
    Yup..... got sugar shane robinson.........
  12. h2oface
    A-stud. Didn't he have a great no look pick off throw to first base in spring training? But that was when he was actually playing his position.....

    Trade the guy when he has now become what all wanted, and get someone(s) else that takes another 5 years to do the same? If ever? Not the kind of "haul" that I like in my baseball team. Let's just always have strangers and visitors and tourists passing through like this years crop of Morrison, Lynn, Duke, and the likes of LaMarre, Motter and Wilson....... cheer for stangers and/or watch them fail. Even if they win, "who are those guys?" What does this team still do with home growns and prospects anyway? With few exceptions... play in the minors until they are 27-29, and have no value. Maybe I am wrong. I mean, look at Atlanta and Oakland this year. Giving the farm a chance to graduate, and giving the grads consistent time in the show, and something other than what is happening here can have a chance to happen. I still don't like a team full of strangers that are just passing through.

    So many players continue to be playing out of position. The new catcher with a bat is at third while .134 Wilson and still on the roster gets yet another start behind the plate(s). Grossman in the field and batting clean up. And Belisle still on the 25 man. WTF is this FO (and manager) doing? Are they just trying to tank this year?

    This is why, even up 8-1 and 9-3, you still try to compete and take every advantage you can, and score score score, never taking the foot off the gas. Right, BD? When 6, 9, and 10 runs isn't enough!

    Looks like the OP will be even sicker, now. This was like an invite to pile it on.
  17. h2oface
    Funny stuff! I love it.

    Amazing how often professional tennis players withstand much more rigorous levels of physical activity for hours..... and stay hydrated and can handle the extreme heat. The Australian Open is always involved with a heat spell, it seems. Baseball players ..... not so much. It really shows how these guys really aren't in that good of shape, and are not coached to be ready with prep the night before, etc. But if one is suffering from heat exhaustion, it is nothing to take lightly, that is for sure.

    I don't agree. The last two months of 2017 it wasn't a terrible roster. Other than the replacement pickups, it is the same. If it wasn't terrible then, why would the same players be considered terrible now? Other than the same players have been way worse, and the coaches and managers haven't been able to work their observations into getting them out of their funk, which, I do believe, is their jobs. If the player(s) is/are performing well, you don't coach them. You leave them the hell alone. If they are slumping, and not performing up to their previous level or potential, then it is the manager and coaches job to "fix" them immediately if not sooner! This is a classic example of wholesale failure, and the same in Rochester. Other than a few prospects, the whole minor league system is disappointing. Winners have become losers this year. It is very telling to me. All teams have injuries. It is not the injuries. Plenty of teams have more than the Twins. To use injuries as an excuse...... is just being in denial.

    The Front office has filled the injury spots with dumpster diving replacements. It really is pathetic. I like to think things have changed, but with this roster... not much, bottom line. Everyone, every team, has injuries etc. Poor excuse. These guys should be able to play at least .500 baseball. Molitor is just too old. Too old for the new game. This whole team is really sad to watch. So very disappointing. Daily. And now they just stack the roster with tired rejects instead of culture the farm and let them lose like these clowns. Makes one want to just not watch this year.

    Gibson has gone over 100 pitches now, 4 games in a row. 118, 103, 105, and 113 this game. And the two before that, 101 and 99. For the last 7 games, even with last night, he is an unsupported 1-4 with a 2.96 ERA, 45.2 innings, only given up 39 hits, with 14 walks, 38 Ks, and a 1.16 WHIP. That is a work horse of a pitcher. I hope it doesn't wear him out.
  22. h2oface
    Too bad Morrison can't be sent to Fort Myers and get fabulously readjusted, too.
  23. h2oface
    1-5 with 3 Ks. In A ball. Unbelievable.
  24. h2oface
    Except.... their averages are worse than the Twins! It's the overall remake of the organization that has been so successful!
  25. h2oface
    That's not very mod-like of you.
