    The ump last night was excellent. If I was mlb I would provide the box they use to grade umpires to all the tv networks as the boxes are different. I’m sure several pitches would be graded differently. Plus mlb allow a small buffer zone where either call is deemed acceptable. I’m not saying umpiring isn’t bad but it may be less bad than what we see. By allowing this difference they are denigrating their own product.

    My concern coming into the playoffs was that our offense which is feast or famine would have a game or games where we have no chance to win because we just don’t do anything with the bats. Like last night.
  3. Linus
    How about we don’t throw the ball over the middle of the plate? I’m sure they put together a clear plan to deal with the guy. The problem is the pitcher has to execute the plan.
  4. Linus
    Or how you react to it.
  5. Linus
    In all phases one team has executed and one hasn’t. Could be playoff experience? This game looks a little big for our boys.
  6. Linus
    I want a more balanced lineup.
  7. Linus
    Kenta getting way too much of the plate.
  8. Linus
    Their two strike approach has been horrendous for a while now. They guess even with two strikes.
  9. Linus
    Home plate ump has been excellent so far. Stark contrast to prior games.
  10. Linus
    Yep. AJ is just blabbering
  11. Linus
    Like the lineup. Great to see Royce in the field and I like Castro starting in center.
  12. Linus
    This is correct. Once they get a decent lead Rocco’s player usage is driven by defensive capabilities.
  13. Linus
    He doesn’t have to redeem himself for anything. The guy has been a good player for a long time. He’s played through injuries and is now playing out of position for the benefit of the team.

    Man Buck is a lightning rod. Everyone just relax - reports are he is not even close to running full speed or doing baseball activities. The next time you see him will be spring training.
  15. Linus
    Wholesale changes. Al Shaver flashback - he was the best.
  16. Linus
    I think Rocco has done a good job with his pinch hitting decisions. Especially last night NOT pinch hitting for Farmer so he could maintain his best defense with a lead. I think it is important to note that he doesn’t make the wholesale changes unless he has an opportunity to break the game open. I’m fine with that because you never know when those opportunities will come. The only time I grind my teeth is when the moves leave the Twins compromised defensively.

    You know Sonny will compete. He’s a bulldog. The worry I have is that the Astros will run his pitch count up quickly because Sonny doesn’t give in. Even though I like our playoff bullpen much more than our regular season bullpen I still see it as our greatest risk. Hopefully our lefty lineup breaks out and gets a lead. That might allow Sonny to attack more and stay in the game longer.

    Man the amount of advertising in their ballpark is unreal. Gives me a headache.
  19. Linus
    MLB needs to share the official box that umpires are graded on with the networks. According to the tv box home plate umpiring is really bad. Would like to compare.
  20. Linus
    I really don’t like big papi as a commentator.
  21. Linus
    Now I will listen to big papi make excuses for his prediction that the Twins had no chance tonight.
  22. Linus
    How about we don’t throw any more middle middle pitches to Alvarez.
  23. Linus
    Lopez is a really intelligent good dude. And a helluva pitcher.
  24. Linus
    What a horrible at bat for Castro.
  25. Linus
    Once again home plate umpiring is a variety pack.
