    Julien and Larnach only boys without a K.
  2. RpR
    Only in your mind.

    Some the supposed pitch locations on the MLB box make it look like the batter almost getting hit, or the ball is two feet over the catchers head.

    I will agree with that. I wonder though if Vazquez had caught it and moved left to make the tag if he would have been called for blocking the plate any way. The runner who could have slid between Vazquez legs actually stopped, maybe looking for a blocking the plate call. The Twins have been screwed on those in the past.

    Perfect, LOL, LOL Chest high bounce. I watched it six time on MLB, far, far from perfect.

    Kirilloff and Larnach are making points with the coaches.

    How. Announcer on MLB called it a poor throw; why did Julien double pump, wasting time.

    Now Wallner should be playing; he was born in Minn. and to him this weather is just a cool evening.

    If I lived sixty miles closer I would probably have made an effort but alas, I do not. (Events with few spectators are often far more enjoyable.) Now if they served quart sized hot-toddys, I might.... Minnesotans are no longer the Viking hardy population they once were. I used to go to snowmobile races in sub-zero weather, now there are almost no snowmobile races in Minnesota any more.

    No they are hard to come by and show that a team is actually pretty good in some aspects.😄

    I have a feeling Billy Martin would have had a better record with the same group.

    Winning a 1-0 game is just as important as winning an 11-2 game and actually more important as it shows a team does not need basket full of runs to win. Twins won a World Series without baskets full of runs. What the Twins need is pitchers who do not make hitting a home run easy.

    Yeah , the Twins should really, really have a run at will catcher in the game instead. Just maybe Miranda's .833 fielding numbers made Rocco decide we should really try to win the first game

    It seems both. At his point in time, Joey Gallo is batting at the BA most expect, but he did Already have 3 for 4 game; I am anxiously awaiting the Twins under achievers to do the same thing.

    A mostly competent defense is the only reason some game were close and others were won.
  16. RpR
    Sacrifice defense and the loss margin increases, you cannot out hit a team if your defense sucks.

    Two players above the Mendoza line, never thought I would see that.
  18. RpR
    They do not want a gaping hole in the defense, makes a lot of sense.

    I will wait till next year before I give Martin Miracle Worker status. Cave, Larnach, Kirilloff, Wallner all came up and had one year -- the next great Twin -- years, but then came hit-miss seasons. I do like Martin taking a less from Lewis with the Alice Cooper face paint -- oddly appealing.
  20. RpR
    Vazquez, Farmer, Kirilloff, Santana and Margot all have a low stike out rate.
  21. RpR
    Well, it works both ways; for quite some time posters peed and moaned the Twins were ONLY a bomba squad, not enough small ball. This year the small ball is still mostly gone, and when they do get runners on, double plays or strike outs are what are common. So, I miss the bomba squad, at least single run home runs put the opposing pitchers on edge.

    Is It Time for the Diamondbacks to Bring Up Kyler Garlick? ith Alek Thomas on the injured list, outfielder Kyle Garlick has emerged as an appealing option for the Diamondbacks to bolster their outfield depth. Despite struggling with the Twins last season, Garlick has kicked off this year with the Reno Aces on a hot streak at the plate. With seven home runs in 11 games, Garlick has amassed a remarkable 1.086 OPS in the first two weeks. He has recorded at least one hit in 9 of the Aces’ 11 games. Garlick currently leads the entire Pacific Coast League in home runs and ranks 2nd in RBIs with 19.... https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb/is-it-time-for-the-diamondbacks-to-bring-up-kyler-garlick/ar-BB1lwSII

    Seeing the picture from that article, at first I thought they mistakenly put a picture of La Tortuga there.😆

    In your opinion - rationalizing - but an opinion. https://www.thesportster.com/baseball/top-15-pitchers-with-the-hardest-fastballs-of-all-time/ This is from a pitching discussion on another forum: Atley Donald and Van Lingle Mungo were early hard-throwers that were actually measured. Even though both were clocked rather crudely, their measurements would extrapolate to over 100 mph on a modern radar gun. A modern radar gun measures the pitch either out of the hand or ten feet away from the pitcher, depending on the gun...most measurements all the way up to the 1980's would measure a pitcher about 60 feet from his hand (although I believe Walter Johnson was clocked 25 or 30 feet away from his hand). https://www.baseball-fever.com/forum/general-baseball/history-of-the-game/48970-speed-of-old-time-pitchers
