    Being good with RISP is a mental skill and it can be learned. Lets hope Larnach does.

    Trade Rogers? Oh No! MY heart couldn't take it!

    Firstly. If the Twins take 3 of 4 from the Indians they will have a .500 record for June. A positive July will put them in the playoff picture, and they won't want to trade these vets. Secondly. The eye test says that Sano has become a pretty darn good First baseman. If Donaldson were to go, let Sano play 3rd. I bet he will do fine if he plays everyday.

    Turtle was fun, but his fielding isn't good. His speed isn't good. His pitch selection isn't good and he is a double play waiting to happen. I wish him well and hope he loses all his fat.

    These comments are appropriate if we had a season that only lasted 3 months. Lets see what we have to say about things in mid-September.

    40 Starts a Season

    Thegrin commented on ashbury's blog entry in Left Coast Bias

    Reading those stathead statistics is eye-opening. Thanks for the informative article.

    I look forward to these weekly roundups. It seems like there are very few of the 2019 & 2020 draft picks still playing. With the late start this year, I have to keep reminding myself that these numbers are pretty meaningless with only about 6 weeks of the season played. Keep up the good work.

    In my opinion, a pitcher should NEVER throw a pitch he has less than perfect control of, when a man is on 3b. NEVER!

    Yay Rah Twins. We're driving up to Seattle to see them again, next week. I'm looking forward to it. Win Twins!!!

    Since the Twins don't have enough outfielders, he is playing thru the pain. Under normal circumstances the Twins would have been more protective of his wrist. Lets see what his stats look like at the end of the season. Probably they will be very good.

    In Baseball, the past usually predicts the future. At the end of the season Cruz will have hit over 30 HR, Donaldson will have hit 20+ HR with a .280 + batting average. Sano will certainly have 30 HR and probably 40. Arraez will bat over .300 & Polanco will hit and so will Garver. Berrios, Maeda & Pineda will have positive records and our current bullpen pitchers will have bushels of saves and holds. Lets just hope the Front Office holds their mud and let the boys do it in a Twins uniform. PS. Those rookies will be an overall plus and that will get us into the playoff mix in September.

    Falvine is supposed to be excellent at pitcher development Its time for some pitchers to develop. .

    He should get rid of the blond hairdo.

    I don't care if they have reached 100 pitches in 6 innings. If they are pitching good, let them keep pitching.

    Please let Refsnyder stay hot all year. Please.

    When Sano swings at low pitches, he has problems. Otherwise, his hitting is fine. He gets walks. He hits to right & right-center, he even gets the occasional single. Right now he is one of those glorious streaks where he carries the team. GO SANO!

    Luck! Schmuck! The Twins have magnified their bad luck with bad play. Some by Rookies and 2nd rank players but some by Donaldson and Simmons, who have previously been elite defenders. Yeah, yeah...I suppose that is bad luck too. but if the relievers would pitch faster and throw more strikes, we wouldn't be so unhappy.

    This thread should be abandoned. The season is young. Nothing that is happening means the terminal demise of Twins baseball as we know it. Who knows what fun we will be having as the the weather gets warmer and the muscles start remembering. I watch every game (even though it is hard) and in every game I see something that gives me hope. GO SANO! CRUISE CRUZ! WIN TWINS!

    thanks spycake. It seems I get easily confused these days.

    Hicks ! You forgot Hicks! I disliked him and I was glad when he was traded and he's a Yankee, but Hicks is a lot better than Wade. (and what about Murphy as C, who now plays for the A's) So many benefits from one trade.

    Question: Do blonds really have more fun? Answer: Only when they are hitting well.

    It is easy to forsee a lineup with Sano at first and Kiriloff in LF but... It is hard to be confident and aggressive when you don't feel 100% healthy. It may take a while for Sano to be in the lineup 5-6 days a week. In the meantime Rocco has plenty of players to juggle. He needs to keep Arraez & Austudillo in the lineup for their ability to get on base. Once Sano is healthy enough to play regularly there will be lots of juggling. I predict Donaldson won't play more than 5 times most weeks. Kepler won't play against lefty's much, until he shows that he can hit them again. Cave will be on the team, but rarely in the lineup (Garlick is not a fielder). Astidillo will catch 2 times a weej, pinch hit and occaisionally play in the field. Arraez has proved he can play 2nd base, 3rd base and Left Field without sacrificing too much defense. Polanco will probably lose the most playing time until he gets his bat back on track. Oh the possibilities. One thing for sure. I will be looking forward to each days lineup.

    Its about *!*!@#%&**!!! time!
  24. Thegrin
    Excuses, Alibi's and phoney justifications. Thank you. I'll take any rational to help me feel better about the season.
  25. Thegrin
    He sounds happy to be there. That goes a long way with me.
