    Agree that Julien and Wallner have hit a wall. Julien seems to be guessing too much instead of reacting to what is coming. He sure seems to take a lot of looking strike threes. Wallner just looks overmatched at the moment.
  2. William K Johnson
    Think the league has caught up with Julien and Wallner? Can't leave that many runners in scoring position and expect to win a game.
  3. William K Johnson
    I know it is early, but like what I have seen so far.
  4. William K Johnson
    If he can't provide more than he has provided this season, I say shut him down, fix the knee and try it again next season.
  5. William K Johnson
    I think the league has figured Julien and Wallner out. Kiriloff goes back to first this weekend and Solano goes back to DH.

    Detroit is the team to keep an eye on. I really like some of their young players, both pitchers and everyday players. Carpenter, Wierling, Greene on the offensive side, and with a young core of good arms with a few more getting healthy, they are the team that will challenge the Twins going forward.

    Was wondering why Polanco did not turn the double play at second better, than realized he is not playing second base tonight.
  8. William K Johnson
    Could have then put Farmer at short. But Rocco is beholden to his big contract guy.

    Of all the players on this squad, Correa has to come up with the bases loaded in the eighth inning. I told my wife; this is going to be a double play. No sooner got the words out of my mouth, when he hit into his major league leading double play. Just think if we had Garver catching today, and they had Christian Vasquez.

    In Pagan's defense, his first walked batter should have been a strikeout. The 2-2 pitch was a great strike that was missed. He let his frustration with that pitch throw him off the rest of the inning.

    Next month as we watch Cleveland celebrate another Central title, we will look back at this game. Can anyone really blame Sonny Gray for wanting to pitch somewhere else next season?
  12. William K Johnson
    Some thoughts after tonight's game - - Someone please tell me that Vazquez's contract is only for two years - Gallo still on the roster tells us that the front office is willing to sacrifice games to save face - Correa needs to bat lower in the order - Royce Lewis is a baseball player - I take back every bad thought I have ever had about Max Kepler
  13. William K Johnson
    How did Correa get in position to make the cutoff throw to home plate? And what a throw it was. I rip him all the time for his hitting, but he is absolutely incredible in the field.

    Hire Detroit's assistant hitting coach!!
  15. William K Johnson
    Sure glad we swung that trade deadline deal.
  16. William K Johnson
    Blame it on James Rowson, who teaches contact as a way to score runs.
  17. William K Johnson
    Everyone plays with more passion and spark than we do. But as I have stated many times, this team is a reflection of their manager.
  18. William K Johnson
    Detroit is better at every aspect of the game. They picked Holton up off waivers and here we are in desperate need of a left hander in the bullpen.
  19. William K Johnson
    Don't care how far the throw was from the bag, it went right through his glove. His defense is as bad as I have ever seen from a professional player.
  20. William K Johnson
    Maybe it's for the best, as one of the commentators stated on the MLB program that no team had a worse deadline trading result than the Twins last year with the Lopez and Mahler trades.
  21. William K Johnson
    Don't forget Paddack.
  22. William K Johnson
    A couple of quick questions: When did Alex Kiriloff turn into Joey Gallo? and When did Johan Duran turn into Emillo Pagan?
  23. William K Johnson
    You can't put this one on Baldelli. The question is how much longer until Thielbar and Stewart return? The current bullpen outside of Jax and Duran offers very little. Moran can't throw strikes, Pagan gives up homers at the worst possible moments, whoever heard of Ortega before he showed up in the bullpen, Balazovic is still learning, Jorge Lopez is lost, and Cole Sands reminds me of Cole DeVries, who a beat writer once stated, "I am amazed every time Cole DeVries gets a major league hitter out". Falvey stated the other day that middle relief was the main objective at the trading deadline. Let's hope they can bring some help in at that point. Also, would someone please get Julien a hat that fits and the play he mishandled would have been played by Polanco and most major league second baseman. Tough play, but they are after, all major leaguers. Lastly, I have started guessing how many pitches it will take to strike out Gallo and Larnach during each of their plate appearances. Believe it or not, I am getting pretty good at it.
  24. William K Johnson
    No one seems to be talking about what they are going to do when Lewis returns. He is, in my opinion, our best baseball player. He has to be somewhere in this lineup.
  25. William K Johnson
    It seems that early on every time we had scoring opportunities, either Solano or Taylor would strike out. Both had terrible games at the plate. Vasquez hitting for Wallner is a head scratcher.
