  1. Never thought the kid had a stretch that bad ...
  2. A pitcher , but that's pretty bad he never had a seeing eyed single...
  3. It's played in west Sacramento , but I think there are just called Sacramento athletics ..
  4. It's got to come sooner than later , do the twins have a record of most at bats without a hit or is Lewis the record holder
  5. Willi hammered that , this pitcher is just a thrower , twins bats look like sh*t against this lefty ...
  6. Twins bats better get going or I'm going to doze off ... West Sacramento might have bad pitching but they have decent bats ...
  7. I've emphasized for a long time that these batters need to learn to hit to the opposite field , really to all fields ... You hit balls where they are pitched , if you can hit to all fields the opposing pitcher will have a more difficult time trying to get you out ... The game has changed to all power so it seems , batting averages have plummeted , to many strikeouts , the numbers don't seem to matter any more , rbis arent important anymore , it's OBP / OPS now , but that doesn't always manufacture runs on a consistent basis and runs are what wins games , if the batter can make these adjustments the hits will come , the batting average will climb , the runs will score and you will see better pitches and the guessing game will be alot easier ... We need better pure hitters that have a plan , the homeruns will come without trying ...
  8. I'll give you my answer at the end of June if we are contenders ... The twins started April bad , May they showed better results in playing competitive baseball ... 2 months of baseball , 1 bad , 1 good , show me better consistency on the offense , pitching remains the same and maybe at the end of June we can talk about the team being contenders ... Most of all , June is the month to show us fans what kind of identity they might have , right now it's undecided except for the strength of our pitching ...
  9. I wouldn't trade with Yankees, they really haven't much talented prospects because they are always trading away that talent for major league ready players ... As well as paddack is pitching , I can see teams that are looking for pitching and are contenders right now and want to push and make a statement ... Dodgers , Atlanta , San Francisco are teams that have injuries and need pitching , give them a call , I'm okay with trading paddack if we can fill a need in our lineup and a position ... Don't need any DH types...
  10. The starting lineup ... Each batter got a hit or more , I'm not sure that has happened this year ... Don't need homeruns to score double digit runs , singles and doubles are just fine ... Ryan wasn't on his game tonight , in the month of May he only allowed 6 earned runs in his starts , he almost matched that in 1 start in June ... Nice start to the 4 game series , glad the bats came alive ...
  11. That's was stressful but it kept me from nodding off
  12. And Vasquez too ... Nice to cut down that run ...
  13. 15 million probably tgecgoing rate if he continues to pitch effectively ... 1 clunker of a start , some 5 inning starts and lately he been going 6 or 7 innings , managing his pitch count better by throwing first pitch strikes ...
  14. Consistency is the key word for acala , he doesn't have it ... Talented no doubt but pitching coach isn't unlocking his potential or it's just acala's head isn't screwed on tight ...
  15. Paddack value right now is peaked ... If we don't trade him , he walks at the end of the year and we get nothing ... He could fetch some decent return , if it's a good hitter that plays good defense and can help now , but if it's decent prospects I'm okay with that to ... We really need to address the offense and get some consistency going ...
  16. Has Seattle since the Cano signing ponyed up for a big contract , Castillo was an extention , memory doesn't recall any big free agent signings since Cano ... I think your right that the 2 teams are carbon copies of each other ...
  17. The games were stressful , exciting and competitive , unfortunately we lost the series ... Paddack dominated again today , can't blame the pitching , offense did keep him from getting the loss by scoring 1 run to tie it up in the ninth , so can we blame the offense for lollygagging ... I can't resist , I'm blaming the manager on get away day for resting to many better players at one time ... Why not have Correa have a Monday, Castro on Tuesday, buxton on Wednesday , and so on , have a better plan on giving the days rest , spread it out ... Let's have a better plan on resting our players Rocco and why is it the players that receive the most money are the one with the most rested days , rested days do not prevent injuries ..
  18. Sucks , we tie it in too of ninth only to lose it in bottom of ninth ..
  19. Yep , now the twins tied up the score it won't be a complete game or a loss for paddack , he pitched today and for most of the season very well ...
  20. The twins bats need to wake up , paddack deserves better ... If they don't wake up , paddack gets a loss , but a complete game ... What would you prefer , a win , loss or complete game ...
  21. Pre game Rocco said he would pitch around Raleigh .... What just happened , we pitch to him , granted you dont want to walk the winning run ... Paddack doesn't deserve this ...
  22. When will the offense show up , twins bats need to wake up ... It's time right now to tee off ...
  23. Another highlight reel catch , Bader has wheels ...
  24. Castillo might be finished , 97 pitches will Wilson let him go over the 100 mark ... They had bazardo warming up and he filthy ...
