    Only if he pays for the app.
  2. Schmoeman5
    Severely lacking

    When they do ask him a tough question he turns into a politician. But he does get an occasional tough one

    I figured it was just you celebrating long into the night after last nights win
  5. Schmoeman5
    Absolutely. And you're late

    I agree. Gray wants to compete. I get it. But on his last start he was at 93 pitches I think after 5. Whitlock had less pitches in the 7th. Him and Lopez always seem to have that 1 30+ pitch inning.

    I thought the same thing. I mean I concur. Sorry
  8. Schmoeman5
    The thing I don't like about Baldellis moves. Is the affect it has on Juliens self confidence. He looks like he carries his emotions with him from AB to AB.
  9. Schmoeman5
    It was 1' shorter than his 1st according to stat cast. Lol
  10. Schmoeman5
    I doubt it. Match ups
  11. Schmoeman5
    The official scorer has been very generous. I know Jeffers hit it well. But that play has to be made
  12. Schmoeman5
    A shutdown inning is always good.
  13. Schmoeman5
    Small complaint. But Red Sox runners have been taking extra bases all series. I'd have liked to see Kepler a little more aggressive on his gapper. It got cut off we'll but I thought 2 as soon as he hit it. So did Morneau
  14. Schmoeman5
    And better now
  15. Schmoeman5
    Castro Solano and Farmer were brought in as role players. The fact that they're playing just about everyday speaks volumes. And not due to injuries. And they have been the most consistent hitters. Farmer may have the highest pull rate in his career. I've seen him dump a lot of balls onto right field when he's in protect mode. Same for Solano.
  16. Schmoeman5
    Jeffers is hitting .225. Gallo is exactly what he was advertised, Vasquez did better in a good lineup..Kiriloff has been out the past 2 years and his dad is his hitting coach. Lewis hasn't played in 2 years. And yeah I'm suggesting it's on Popkins. Solano Castro and Farmer cast-offs or in the case of Farmer via trade hit best when putting the ball into play and using all fields. And that's what they're doing. Vs Buxton Correa Miranda and Kepler all pull happy. Correa and Miranda and Buxton and all hitters are better using the whole field. And if putting the ball in play leads to ONLY 10 extra hits guess what. They're not hitting in the low .200s like they are now. To suggest that nothing needs to change is ludicrous. I'll just cross my fingers and hope they improve. Got my horseshoe and rabbits foot too.

    You cherry picked Arreaz but didn't comment on the 3 guys who played with other organizations last year who have been the Twins steadiest hitters. And Arraez is doing significantly better than when he was here.
  18. Schmoeman5
    OK. Stick with the 10+ strikeout per game avg. That's working great. I'm talking about putting balls in play. Putting more balls in play will result in more of everything. Double plays. Sacrifice flys. Singles doubles pop outs. Whatever. But those are more productive in the long run than striking out. That's the point.
  19. Schmoeman5
    .350 isn't. 390. That's 40 point difference. And maybe Miami's offense has scored less runs. I'll bet the Tigers and Nationals have too. And if the Twins put the ball in play 10 to 20 percent more they'd have more runs. And don't say that's unrealistic because their strike out rate is astronomically higher
  20. Schmoeman5
    Popcorn definitely needs to go. The Twins lost 3 of 4 vs Tigers 2 of 3 to the Senators when they played. And what sticks out to me in those series losses were the ability to just put the ball in play. That is almost non existent on a nightly basis for them. And not to beat a dead horse. But when Arreaz was here he was a .300 hitter. Now in Miami he's flirting with .400. Is Miami's hitting coach teaching new philosophy to a vet? Idk. But Kepler and Buxton and Correa have fallen dramatically. Miranda floundered out of the gate. The steadiest hitters played elsewhere last year. Castro Solano and Farmer. It can't all be a coincidence.
  21. Schmoeman5
    Agreed. Maki gets credit for the progress the SP made to start the season but none of the blame for the nightly implosion of the bullpen. The Twins have 1 reliable guy coming out of the pen. 2 if you count Stewart. But I'm not relying on him to be lights out just yet.
  22. Schmoeman5
    A 100mph+ 1 hopper off the glove does not mean it's a hit. That was a generous scorer ruling. But I do agree that he's not the problem. But Julien does look like he takes his mistakes with him. Gotta let it go
  23. Schmoeman5
    Juliens was at least a heads up play. He just made a poor throw. Kiriloff was very lethargic on that double.
  24. Schmoeman5
    1-3
  25. Schmoeman5
    Byron Buxton and Joey Gallo were both effective the month of April. Both have disappeared since. Nagging injuries? Idk. And Correa and Kepler have been struggling all year. That's almost 1/2 of their everyday lineup that's not producing. Let the youth movement begin. Move them all. Now is the time. The Tigers came into Minnesota with 1 or 2 wins all month and take 3 of 4 and do it with 2 bullpen games and just flat out beating up on the Twinkies.
