    So much for that theory. If we can get out of this mess only down one we will have it better than we deserve.
  2. Linus
    SWR still has a chance to pitch a good game. Important to get the boys right back in the dugout.
  3. Linus
    AK throws to the wrong base. More Legion ball.
  4. Linus
    Buck catches that fly ball easily. Defense matters.
  5. Linus
    He didn’t light the world on fire but the sample is small and it’s his first time in the big leagues. I hope he gets lots of reps in CF and 2nd base. If he can play a legit CF his value goes up considerably.

    I really enjoy the site. In particular the information about the minor league teams is invaluable. I find some of the Front Page articles to be “forced”. Like they had to write about something. Sometimes they are written right after a lengthy thread on the same subject posted in the Twins Baseball forum. I realize having daily content isn’t easy but maybe there are other avenues to explore like a brief biography of a Twins player both present and past. Or a This Day in Twins History. I think some of the younger members might be amazed at the greatness of Twins past. A story about Lyman Bostock might be an example. I enjoy most of the posters as there is a lot of baseball knowledge out there. Of course there are some posters who are argumentative and get really tiring but I don’t know what you do about that. It’s the Internet. One final idea might be to create an Analytics forum. A lot of people seem to like this aspect of Twins discussion more than anything else. mill be here daily.

    Are you referring to Grossmans single to right? It was a bloop hit - Thielbar got the fastball in and he fought it off. That pitch to that spot is going to be an out most of the time.
  8. Linus
    This certainly turned into a pleasant thread 🙂
  9. Linus
    This is my concern as well. And if one of the top three starters get hurt - look out.

    Don’t look now but Miranda is playing a steadier third base than in the past. Last night he picked up a hard hit grounder and gave a perfect feed to Farmer to turn two. Anything less and the runner at first would be safe. Ryan did a great job getting the job done without his best command. Lots of fastballs not quite up enough in the zone and his sweeper was all over the place. His split has turned into an important pitch. Another bad strike zone last night. Thankfully it was bad for both teams.

    Does Margot have any trade value? He’s free so something?
  12. Linus
    Normally I would say no way but they are one starter injury away from a big problem. Never thought I would say this but I have more confidence in Sands than Festa or Dobnak or even the current version of Varland. Of course the question is how much stuff will he lose having to pitch multiple innings?
  13. Linus
    I think you nailed it. I’ve enjoyed watching Martin - he adds something to the lineup.
  14. Linus
    Tough play but if Miranda can come up with that shot in the 5th or even knock it down Pablo might have got out of that inning. He’s making the routine plays so that’s a start. Martin giving a glimpse of what could be. His profile as a hitter could really round out this lineup.
  15. Linus
    Yes. At a minimum we shouldn’t need to sign the Margot and Santana types next year. Both players provide some diversity to the lineup.
  16. Linus
    The DeSclafani part of the trade has been widely discussed. I don’t buy the “he was just a throw in” argument. The FO needed to add starting pitching and DeSclafani was the only starter added. So regardless of the circumstances of the trade it was a major fail for 2024 on the part of the FO.
  17. Linus
    No
  18. Linus
    We traded Berrios with a year and a half left of control. So we traded a year and a half of Berrios plus the QO pick for Martin and SWR. Right now advantage Toronto but that could change as early as this year.
  19. Linus
    Laz Diaz cementing his reputation as being a horrible umpire. And he is better than Angel Hernandez.
  20. Linus
    Legion ball.
  21. Linus
    Count me in the camp of skeptical of Festa. Pitchers with his lack of command rarely make it in the bigs. Obviously hope for the best but whips of 1.5+ in AAA doesn’t work.
  22. Linus
    That’s a straw man. Nobody is saying that. It’s about the bench players you choose.
  23. Linus
    I will tip my cap to Julien last night. One of his later at bats he had two strikes and the pitcher threw a beauty back door cutter right on the black. No chance but Julien flipped his bat out there and managed the weakest foul ball. Next pitch was a cutter down but middle and Eddy had a good rip at it and just missed it. That was a good at bat. He spoiled the pitchers pitch and the reward was a shot at a much better pitch to hit.
  24. Linus
    And our guy Max has been to the IL 8 times in the last couple seasons. You are crazy if you don’t plan on them getting hurt.
  25. Linus
    Or they chose out of Couleme when they should have chosen coulemB
