    26 pitches. all 2 or 4 seam fastballs except for 3 cutters. That's keeping them off balance.

    Morrison, Lynn, and Duke aren't shaping up as colossal whiffs, too? The shaping for Kinley is done, and the shaping for the others is still suffering in progress. Oh, did I mention Rodney?

    Why would we want a pitcher that a contending team didn’t want ???? Really???? Roster limits, the rules of service time and options. Hundreds of players each season move around that the teams would have rather kept in the system if the rules allowed. Hundreds. Of course they take Bard back, if they can. We didn't get rid of him, he was taken from the Twins, by the rules.
  4. h2oface
    Bard was used for much more significant times in games than Kinley, and only had one bad outing that they should have pulled him after he finally got out of the inning, but they ran him out there again, and Boston crushed him, and they let it happen. It was the game Ohtani got his blister, and got tagged, too. Until then, for something like 5 or6 games and 8 innings, Bard was very good! Very good. The difference is that the Angels made a decisive move, and decided that a roster spot was not worth having taken up by an experiment. Kinley has never been good. Talent? It hasn't translated to anything but hope. It seems very ego driven to me right now, and foolish, (also foolish to ever had taken him with all things considered, and he is too old, in my opinion) to keep wasting a roster spot for a pipe dream. Nick Burdi is on the 60 day DL for the Pirates, and hasn't had a single bad outing all year!

    I still can't believe what this FO let go or made available in the rule 5 to keep this guy. So much for pitching experts.
  6. h2oface
    Rochester .... didn't I read somewhere how they had veteran leadership and were going to be good?
  7. h2oface
    Rally time!
  8. h2oface
    Don't swing, gross man.
  9. h2oface
    I hate plate umpiring. We have a better option. The game needs consistency.
  10. h2oface
    Right down the middle and Judge takes that first pitch. Mauer must be inspiring him. Got lucky there.
  11. h2oface
    I got the over under on Rodgers for this inning at 2 1/2 runs. Do I have anything to collect?
  12. h2oface
    That talent is quickly turning back into unrealized potential.
  13. h2oface
    That 3rd pitch to Sano - right down Broadway.... the Yankees jack out of the stadium. Not Sano these days. Tell me again about his career OPS, and exit velocity.... but ignore 2018's OPS.... it makes your argument more coping for you.
  14. h2oface
    Sano isn't going to get out of the month with a BA over .200....... all the other players under the Mendoza line. The minor league teams can't seem to win (other that Cedar Rapids' start). The new coaches and managers under the new FO are not proving to be so inspiring, it appears.
  15. h2oface
    How is the run in the 4th inning against Berrios earned?
  16. h2oface
    Duffey sooooooo ready for the show, again.
  17. h2oface
    Mauer now 3 for the last 24 and 7 games. A pitch like that to a Yankee, even from Berrios, and it is a homer. A mistake is an out these days for the Twins' touted offense.
  18. h2oface
    This team still can't hit Sabathia. The offense is a real problem now.
  19. h2oface
    I love a bunt into the shift. Easy pickin's, even for a slower runner. But this one in the first inning? If it is game 7 of a playoff, and you just want to get a run in in the first, no problem. But this was not the case in game one of the 4 game at the beginning of the year. Too bad it didn't work, and Mauer got a single instead of a sac bunt.
  20. h2oface
    Joe has gone 3 for 23 in the last six games, and dropped .114 in average. But I agree, why worry, eh?
  21. h2oface
    I don't see it that way. It is all part of the whole process. At the time the FO tried to sneak Chargois off the 40-man, they could have let Kinley be returned, already, to make the needed space. So they did still choose Kinley over another system player on the edge of the show. Chargois was not the only choice available to make space. Note: didn't see the other replies until after I posted this.
  22. h2oface
    I totally agree. Perplexing, especially after Tampa Bay.
  23. h2oface
    Odorizzi is tossing meatballs. Just watch the highlight videos and see that the ones tagged were right is sweet spots, if not middle zone, and not near the catcher's target. 2 more of his 14 walks in 26 innings scored. Castro's body language on Stanton's homer is priceless. I am more frustrated with his performance than the expected results of the rest of the pen. Kinley? What a waste. Time to cut bait on an experiment that never should have been and that continues to hurt this team. Another game with one run? Could have been a pitcher's gem by the Twins and still a loss with that kind of support.
  24. h2oface
    With Sano, Buxton, Garver, Castro, Grossman, and Morrison all at or below the Mendoza line, this team is truly in trouble, and breathing hard. Even Mauer has dropped .114 points in the last 6 games (3 for 23). This fearsome offense has helped fix Tanaka and Archer quite well.
  25. h2oface
    The worst Grossman can ever be is adequate. Once he is worse than adequate, and falls to awful for any period of time, 3 weeks, he no longer fills his purpose. And he is not only awful at the plate, but more than awful in the field. As a bencher, his leash has to be very short.... even shorter than awfully short.
