    Recommend the Twins keep scoring. So far tonight in MLB, the winning teams have averaged 10.2 runs per game, including two 11-10 outcomes.....
  2. SteveLV
    That reliever certainly ended that inning with a thud for the Twins....
  3. SteveLV
    AK needs double and single to have the complete Cycle, including his 1st inning walk....
  4. SteveLV
    Only the Twins could be outhitting their opponents 9 to 7, have 3 walks vs. 4, AND have 2 more extra base hits and be losing badly by 4 runs after 7. Not sure any other team capable of the level of ineptitude. Going to bed, this is dreck baseball to watch.

    The story of this Twins season is failure to score with men in scoring position. Period. Nothing else to say. Except: They suck at clutch hitting.
  6. SteveLV
    If you think about it, it is actually pretty difficult to have 3 doubles, 4 singles and a walk in 5 innings and only score 2 runs. Twins have left 6 on base though 5. Sheesh, if only they had someone that could hit in the clutch consistently....

    That Stat for Gallo, by the way, is easily the most mind-blowing stat in all of professional sports. It is simply unfathomable that he only has 3 SF's in 2569 at bats in his career. Someone smarter than me could probably determine how many times he came up with a runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs, but certainly many, many times more than 3 in all those AB's.

    Mr. Gray is dealing tonight, only 35 pitches through 3, 22 for strikes. Keep it going!

    Twins are up vs. a tough pitcher, and said pitcher has had to throw 70 pitches to get through only 3 innings. Bodes well for a long series if we can get into their bullpen early and often. AK with a professional at bat there. I wonder if Gallo was watching. That, young man, is called a Sacrifice Fly.

    It would have to be a heck of an offer, well above the QO pick slot. Maybe the Reds for CES and Steer? LOL! We could throw in Mahle, too....

    Excellent article and analysis. I am getting a bit nervous on the top 2 picks signing, but hope they had discussions on amounts before the picks were made.
  12. SteveLV
    I would put Polanco at 3B until Lewis gets back, if ever, this year. Send Miranda down when he comes off the IL. If they decide to give Buxton a day off, let Julien DH, Farmer to 3rd, Polanco to 2nd. Try and keep everyone healthy.
  13. SteveLV
    Should have simply signed him last winter so we would not be having this discussion, I would not trade for him unless he would accept a contract extension from the Twins.
  14. SteveLV
    Wallner now up with Miranda to IL. Hope he performs well and he is up for good!

    The other thing in this situation that is puzzling to me is the apparent deference to Kepler indicating he does not want to play CF. He can do so, not at a Buxton level, but if Kepler shifts to CF vs. RH starters this opens up lots more lineup optons for Rocco. Does a mediocre hitter on the last year of his guaranteed contract get to tell the Coach where he will and wont play? And I like Kepler as a person based on his interviews, but he would certainly help out the team if he would play in CF....
  16. SteveLV
    I am starting to wonder whether or not the Twins were able to insure all or part of Buxton's contract. Long-term, this could impact decisions. Not this year or maybe even next, but if Buxton can never play in the field again he may have to retire for medical reasons and that could return some or all of his contract monies to the Club. Not that I am concerned for the Pohlad's pocketbook, but as a fan if they recoup some or all of the contract that, ultimately, could allow them to spend that money on other players.
  17. SteveLV
    I am intrigued by the skullduggery suggesting that the Pirates take Clark (local kid) and try and save some money for later picks and then the Twins talk to Boras who informs those picking 2-4 that it will take $10M plus to sign Crews so he gets passed down to our team. That would be pretty wild and exciting. Chances of this happening? Less than 1%. But I also would have pegged the chances of Lee dropping to the Twins last year as under 5%, so who knows?
  18. SteveLV
    I like him, I like how he interviews, and I like his fiery play and obsession with improving his body and his game. Take him if the 3 college studs are gone. Per the above, seems an easy choice.
  19. SteveLV
    If the top 4 taken in whatever order are: Crews, Skenes, Langford and Jenkins, my rankings for the 5 pick would be: Clark [medium gap] Lowdon [significant gap] Teel Clark could be very, very special. We need a no-doubt CF prospect in the pipeline with Buxton seemingly never to play there again (so sad). Lowdon could be a stud, and he was a stud at the highest level of college BB this year. Teel would not even be on the radar is not playing C, and I am not convinced on his D at that position at the MLB level.
  20. SteveLV
    I like him a lot at 34!
  21. SteveLV
    Wallner with 2 dingers tonight in St Paul and OPS is approaching 1.000. Let's see if he can produce at the Major League level, please.
  22. SteveLV
    Langford's speed rating is 55, but I read somewhere that this may be low. In contrast, Clark's is 70. Jenkins is also 55. I have watched both Langford and Jenkins, and Langford sure seems quicker and faster than Jenkins.
  23. SteveLV
    Seems extremely unlikely he last until 5. If there, no-brainer, nothing else to discuss.
  24. SteveLV
    Langford has 60 and borderline 70 speed. Kid can run. He is NOT a plodding LFer. The tough call for me, as DMan mentioned, is if the top 4 go Crewes, Skenes, Langford and Clark. Jenkins vs. a possibly underslot Teel would be a tough call. Some scouts love Jenkins, but I see that as a riskier pick. Very tough decision in that scenario. I hope the rumors that the Rangers love Jenkins are true, and not smokescreen.
  25. SteveLV
    I prefer Lowder to Dollander as the 2nd SP off the board. Jenkins scares me. I have seen him in person, and he just doesn't ooze overwhelming talent even though he does have a beautiful swing. I would greatly prefer taking a college player at 5, but of the 2 HS bats I prefer Clark. I like Clark's interviews; he is very smart, mature and confident. I don't know if the rumor the Rangers love Jenkins is just smoke, but I truly think the Twins simply need to let the draft come to them and take whichever of the consensus top 5 falls to them at 5 overall.
