    So we got nothing on the Polanco trade.
  2. William K Johnson
    Because he has this intense fascination with Margot. He has had it all season.
  3. William K Johnson
    Sending him down until September would not be a bad idea. Remember Buxton was yo-yo'ed between AAA and the majors several times before finally settling in. One other question, why can we not play Lewis at short? This gets Miranda and Lewis and a DH in the lineup at the same time and frees Castro up.

    Turn out the lights, the party's over.

    Random thoughts: - I may be in a minority but will be glad when the day comes when Santana and Margot are no longer Twins. - Anyone still question Buxton's contract? - Did anyone notice after the almost collision between Lee and Kepler, that Lee turned his back on him and ran off the field without a word? Usually there is a brief conversation between players when that happens, sometimes they laugh it off. Kepler had a strange look on his face as Lee trotted off. - While on the subject of Lee, he apparently is dealing with some physical issues, i.e., moved from short to second after lineups posted and weak throw on the DP later in the game. - Agree with earlier posters, consider Dodnak contract sunken cost and move on.

    And to think that he is a late inning defensive replacement some games.

    We need to keep BYRON F-ING BUXTON healthy as well. He is quietly putting together the best season of his career. With the Mike Trout news, it is sure nice to have such a great player roaming center field on a daily basis.
  8. William K Johnson
    Oh well, we still have Steve Okert from the left side.
  9. William K Johnson
    Happen to catch the eighth and ninth innings of their game last night. What an incredible series of plays by an incredible player.
  10. William K Johnson
    Agree with Blyleven that a quality start ought to be two or fewer runs over seven innings. Also, why is Miranda playing third?
  11. William K Johnson
    Wallner's arm is too good for first base. Larnach may be a better option.
  12. William K Johnson
    With Miranda, Correa and Lewis out we are down to having to DH Vasquez against left-handers.
  13. William K Johnson
    I would have sent Julien down yesterday instead of Castillo. Castillo is a better defender and currently a better hitter. Plus, he is right-handed. Just do not understand FO love for Julien.
  14. William K Johnson
    Talked to a buddy who is a big Philly fan prior to the series and told him that they would be our bullpen. Boy that was an easy call.
  15. William K Johnson
    The decision came down to either Wade or Cave. Front office decided Cave was a better option. Oops!!
  16. William K Johnson
    Felt bad for Correa, he had outs on both sides of him. Wisely had the game of his life. He was like 4 for his last 40 coming in and I watched a Giants game earlier where he was just awful at second base. Agree with earlier comment, over 162 games you will have games where the opponent plays out of their *** and your guys stink it up. However, I still question Vasquez in the DH role. Worst hitter on the team and could have given Carmargo some at bats. Margot should be gone once Martin is healthy.

    The "Core Four" (Lewis, Buxton, Correa and Lee) seem ready for an extended run if not beset by the injury bug. Kepler is in one of his pop-up runs, Larnach's strike out issue seems to be re-emerging, Miranda may never take a walk again and Castro is in a little bit of a slump. However, if these guys and Wallner can contribute something daily, the offense will be fine. Time to move on from Margot, Santana and Farmer. Martin looks like a solid utility player. Also need to figure out if Kiriloff is the answer at first or what other options are available there. No one expected Cleveland to be this good. David Fry (All-Star), Freeman, Martinez, and even Bo Naylor have been surprising. You have to tip your hat to their staff, replacing Shane Bieber without a hiccup is a testimony to their front office. Bullpen is a good as there is, and their Core four (Kwan, Naylor, Ramirez, Gimenez) are consistently good. On the pitching front, Joe Ryan may be the greatest trade in Twins history. If he continues progressing the way he is, he could possibly be an ace of this rotation, if not already. Ober continues to amaze with his consistency, Lopez surely will figure out the problem with his breaking balls, but after that, everything is up in the air. SMR has been pleasant surprise, but I have a feeling he will eventually hit a wall. Paddack is still very questionable. Bullpen seems to be getting better but still could use an additional arm or two. Stewart and Topia's return should help but more is needed. A left hander in particular would help, as neither Okert or Funderburk appear to be the answer and how much is left in Thielbar? All in all, it appears that we should have an interesting second half.
  18. William K Johnson
    With Margot, Santana and Vasquez in a lineup and wonder why you only score 1. Game was lost in the first inning when Santana struck out with bases full and one out.
  19. William K Johnson
    When are the regular announcers coming back? Gellner is not very good.
  20. William K Johnson
    I would rather see our guys get five days off anyway. A playoff spot is more important than an exhibition game.
  21. William K Johnson
    Anyone know why Miranda hit for Farmer? Did it have to do with the ball off his wrist in an earlier at bat? Or was it the two awful looking strike outs?
  22. William K Johnson
    Most managers will walk the leadoff hitter in the bottom of the 10th if as a visiting team you do not score in the top of the 10th. That run means nothing and sets up a double play opportunity. The '27 Yankees could not win with Vasquez in the lineup.
  23. William K Johnson
    I take back every bad thing I ever said about Miranda and Larnac.
  24. William K Johnson
    The difference between the Cleveland Guardians and us, BULLPEN
  25. William K Johnson
    Similar to last night's game, they make a play that essentially wins the game for them as Lewis would have scored from second on Jeffers hit.
