    I saw him with the Saints earlier this year and his pitches looked pretty wild, but it sounds like he's getting the job done regardless. I'd be happy to see him called up.
  2. Unwinder
    I think the Rogers trade was reasonable, not stellar, and that the trade value took into account the risk of Paddack blowing out his elbow. A gamble going the wrong way doesn't mean it was a bad gamble. I was lukewarm on that trade then, and I'm lukewarm on it now.
  3. Unwinder
    I'm very tempted

    I was SLIGHTLY more there for Miranda's Target Field debut than for Royce, but I was excited enough to drive down and buy a ticket at the box office in the 4th inning after I finished making dinner. It was a fun one!
  5. Unwinder
    Paddack's been pretty decent, but I agree that the bullpen is the most likely area in need of reinforcements. That said, who knows what internal bullpen options might be ready for the majors by then.

    I was going to comment that I'm really apprehensive about all these one-run wins that could've easily gone the other way, especially against teams like the Athletics, but then I thought about the roster. Correa's out, Buxton's out, Arraez is out, Larnach's out, Garlick's out, and Sano is out (on top of being ineffective). It's pretty great that with all of these guys gone, the Twins have the depth to stay in close games.

    I swear this has been my screen name on every website since 2008. But on the other hand, I don't trust this "Winder" fellow. Seems fishy to me!
  8. Unwinder
    That was a fun game to be at, but has not raised my confidence in Pagan closing. Sad I missed my guy Miranda homering. Glad to see my guy Winder shoving. Lewis looks like he belongs. Fun to see so much future on display.
  9. Unwinder
    Just got here a half inning ago. Looks like Winder is dealing. What'd I miss?
  10. Unwinder
    I was there for Lewis and Miranda's Saints debuts, I should be there for their first time at Target Field.
  11. Unwinder
    50 minutes before first pitch while I'm still in the middle of cooking dinner I am still strongly considering going to at least part of this game.
  12. Unwinder
    Excellent. Now we can enjoy Royce's debut without a dark cloud hanging over it. Win-win.
  13. Unwinder
    Miranda and Lewis both make their Target Field debuts tonight. Frantically running through bargaining chips in my head that might convince my wife to let me go and abandon my post taking care of the baby.
  14. Unwinder
    We were due, and I don't mind losing one here and there. I hope Bundy bounces back though.
  15. Unwinder
    I'm not a fan of the price at all, more gouging fans at the cost of offering anything that curious non-fans might be interested in checking out. But I'll probably subscribe for just baseball season and maybe an additional month or two if the Wolves are still good next year.
  16. Unwinder
    I wonder where Kenta Maeda will slot into this rotation when he returns. A month ago I'd have said he'd be number one, maybe number two after Sonny Gray. Now I have absolutely no clue.
  17. Unwinder
    I'm very sure that the plan is for Miranda to get a taste while Sano heals up and hopefully finds his swing, and this is probably going to happen even if he rakes. I'm still going to enjoy the next few games though, I've been excited to see this guy get a shot at the major leagues since I attended his Saints debut last year.

    I might check it out, I've been thinking about picking an NL team to follow.
  20. Unwinder
    Yeah, the fact that it's already the way baseball is trending is exactly why I don't trust pitching staffs to take a step back for the pitch clock.
  21. Unwinder
    Yeah, this is my main (only?) concern with the pitch clock. It does make injury more likely if pitchers (particularly relievers) continue to go max-effort with every pitch. My DESIRED outcome is that pitchers adjust, don't go max-effort with every pitch, and we get more hits. My worry is that they'll continue to pitch at max-effort, burn out rapidly, and instead of sacrificing performance to keep them healthy, teams will stockpile more fresh arms.
  22. Unwinder
    Of course pitchers don't like changes that tilt the balance of the game toward hitters. As a viewer, most of the things he describes as disastrous side effects sound great. Holding runners is hard? Not enough time to "reset" between pitches? These sound like selling points to me. The other problems he describes just sound like difficulties with the adjustment period, not actual problems.
  23. Unwinder
    Good reason to keep Winder fresh.
  24. Unwinder
    I've got tickets tonight after having discovered that the Saints game I got free tickets to was a day game. Whoops!
  25. Unwinder
    Still holding out hope for Sano over here. Every baseball fan has got one guy who they want to see break out and prove everybody wrong. Sano is the guy for me.
