  1. I don't complain too much about balls and strikes. This ump is making it hard. And he's making the hitters swing at balls they might normally take. And the hitters are already struggling with pitches that are in the SZ. Not a good recipe for success. Julien with a nice play.
  2. Someone must have yelled at the Official scorer. But I do remember last year that balls hit like that at Twins defenders were scored hits. Normally they score strictly for the home team. Another reason I don't put a lot of stock in GG. That ball was hit hard but it also had 1 hop. 1st view I thought hit. 2nd view. Ehhh. Maybe not. But Kirilloff swinging it well right now.
  3. His swings look more defensive. And they don't look good at all
  4. Looking forward to today's game. A day without baseball is like, well you know. Let's go Twins.
  5. They didn't trade for a #5 starter. They traded for a HOPE. That's exactly why Falvey changed his tune. Why does it matter if Seattle was the only dance partner? He could have always said NO. But he didn't. Instead he pivoted and said. Hey we were hoping for a starter. But we settled for a 1 year wonder out of the pen and we got these 2 prospects too. 1 is ranked in the top 100 of 1 site. And this Bowen kid has this great raw talent. He's gonna blow you away. IN AROUND 4 YEARS. The other guys. Well, we're hoping y'all forget about them. Keep drinking the Twins Kool-aid. Falvey and Levine could be replaced by lab monkeys. I'm sure of it. As well as Rocco. And don't even get me started about St. Peter. That dude needs to be taken out behind the woodshed. The Twins are turning into a mickey mouse operation. A's lite
  6. Gonzalez is a top 100 prospect on ONE list. Out of 73 lists for prospects. So Polanco was traded for High Hopes. Was Gonzalez on your list of top 100 prospects? Main prize. So DeSclafani was the booby prize I guess. And if a person says one thing and then does the opposite. What does that make him? This is par for the course across all levels in life. That's why it's refreshing when someone does what they say. Falvey was lauded for being so honest when discussing payroll cuts. Its the only honest thing he's said in his tenure with the Twins. He'd be better off not saying anything.
  7. To all those that like the trade. Good for you and stick to your guns. Don't come back in 3 year crying "we got fleeced" for getting broken pitchers or unproven prospects. I also realize that this statement works both ways. I like crow. I've been eating it for years. It's a dish best served cold, or not.
  8. This is just a hypothetical question. If the Twins knew now that DeSclafani would probably never throw a pitch for the Twins, do they still make this trade? And remember that one of Falveys statements was that the Twins weren't trading for prospects. They were trading for the here and now. It might be that these 2 prospects that they got will pay dividends. But that was not what the FO was aiming for. At least that's what they said to the media and fan base. All this other arguing is just a my dad's tougher than yours. And everyone knows. My dad's the toughest.
  9. Thank you professor. I feel enlightened. Or is it entitled? Gotta grab my dictionary.
  10. And not too many noticed. The Twins may win the Central. But it's going to be a dog fight. Not the cakewalk that a lot of fans have voiced so loudly. Someone commented about "get back to me when the Tigers beat a good team" Well today they beat the A's after a doubleheader vs the Mets and traveling for a day game. And exactly what GOOD team have the Twins beat? You cant control the schedule.
  11. The Dodgers and their squeaky clean image. And the Ohtani group now. Bunch of vultures and phonies. And to the fans who got pressured. You can always say NO. If they felt that intimidated they should have called 911.
  12. Gallo is gone. Taylor is gone. They now have Margot who probably should be gone. I personally would have liked to keep Taylor with the addition of Santana. But the bean counters felt differently.
  13. I get it. I didn't say anything about the substitution. But you still say that ph was the right move. I'd agree 100% if it were the 7th inning or later. And Martin is a better option than Margot in CF? I'm not convinced. And I'm not rooting against Santana. I think he can still be productive. Just not for 500 PA. It looks to me that Rocco is going to go with Kirilloff in LF and Santana at 1st. For right now that looks about right. I hope they're up to the task. It's a long season. And you're absolutely right. That Margot ph situation had no bearing on the outcome. Still, not the right move to me.
  14. You continue on this narrative. What has Margot done to earn this chance? And in the 4th inning. And Margot was so confident in his ability that he bunts. And then he gets 2 more opportunities where you know that Julien would be a better option. And don't talk about defense because Margot was moved to left and Martin to CF. That's when I was scratching my head. We saw how good he was out there vs KC. I wouldn't mind that ph move later in the game. But today? No way. Stop ranting about the minor league players. You were stoked about Stephenson last year. My 90 year old mom can hit harder than he did.
  15. 1st class or coach. He's not fast at all. Unless you're comparing him to Vasquez
  16. Jeffers gets some leeway in my opinion. I know he's a professional. But that still has to weigh heavy on him.
  17. That must be an anomaly. The analytics sheet says so.
  18. It did. He's out! And now he'll get 2 AB against right handers.
