  1. Now Carroll and Perdomo need to get drilled.
  2. Yep. Corbin Carroll should get one in the ribs.
  3. Yea. With Bucks day today that may have been a purpose pitch. I would drill one of their guys next inning.
  4. Festa lost a little command that inning. More hittable pitches in the zone. Of course he should have been sitting in the dugout.
  5. Yea Margot can wear this inning. I’ve seen him make several poor plays in RF for a guy that is supposed to be a good fielder.
  6. Few things more enjoyable than watching Buck run.
  7. As long as the strike zone stays the same for Festa I’m good with it.
  8. Not sure. Plenty of great pitchers have thrown that way. Tends to hide the ball from the hitter.
  9. Festa is a bit of a short armer. First time I’ve seen him pitch. I can see why he has had success as he has three legit pitches.
  10. This was a good outing by SWR in that he was struggling with command but managed to make enough pitches to get some outs. Many times pitchers in the same situation get blown up.
  11. Excellent article! A bunch of good info. Hopefully he can have good command in the bigs. I believe that will be the key.
  12. I’m doing this from memory so…..but if I recall the Twins have gained zero ground on Cleveland during the Twins hot streak and have now dropped back even further. Nothing is impossible but as the games click by without the Twins gaining ground makes the math really hard for winning the Central.
  13. On a more serious note. Wouldn’t the Twins want him to play more than two games at 2b before calling him up to play that position in the bigs?
  14. In fairness to you Royce really retooled his swing. I wasn’t a fan of the big leg kick etc during his early years in the minors.
  15. I’m skeptical of defensive metrics in general and really skeptical for middle infielders. There is so much going on that will never be included in a metric. How you turn the double play how you feed the double play handling cutoffs and tags. These are all areas where Correa excels and Julien doesn’t.
  16. I think his relentless optimism is a factor. Most of us limit ourselves because we have a mental limit on what’s possible. Not Royce. Combine that with Uber talent and this is what you get.
  17. My mother told me that if I don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say anything at all so everyone have a great day.
  18. What a pleasure to watch the game. Did not think I would see a complete game by a Twins pitcher this year. This is Ober at his best in that he used all his pitches extensively and threw lots of strikes.
  19. His velocity and stuff are still there. It’s more of a command issue. He may get it back or not. My question is if you dfa him who are your lefty relievers? Okert and Funderburk? No thanks.
  20. They definitely could use a leftie reliever. I think Thielbar will find it again as his problems are more command than stuff but Okert is mediocre and Funderburk is AAAA. The amount of love he gets on this site is more prospect puppy love.
  21. I was heckled a bit last season / winter when I said to hold off anointing him the second coming. The bapip was really high and clubs were starting to make adjustments. He now has been pretty bad almost as long as he was good last year. Neither outcome is likely where he ends up. And as a bat first guy he has to hit.
  22. Ouch. According to the paper this morning Max is day to day so they aren’t making a move. Will be interesting to see how long he is out.
