    I really liked Jose comments after the game last night. He basically said I’ve got the talent but I have to execute better. No excuses. I like it.

    Okay. Now that Donaldson has doubled down on his jackass move by claiming incompetent umpiring threatens his livelihood I am officially a hater. He has hundreds of millions in income and he can’t realize his dumb move may have cost his team a win. This guy is not a team guy. Get ready for another 3 years of this crap.

    This. Way too much attention to who they will play when it won’t matter a damn if they can’t get it together.
  4. Linus
    How long before we start regretting Donaldsons contract?

    Before last season I was very worried that our lineup construction was way too much feast or famine. Then they crushed it and I assumed I was just wrong. Maybe not.....

    Angel Hernandez didn’t cost us the game. However he is a horrible umpire and everyone knows it. Berrios throws more non competitive pitches than any other good pitcher I’ve seen. Last night there had to be 15-20 pitches that had no chance so you end up with 100 pitches to get 5 innings. I keep holding out hope that something will click and he find command but I think this is it. His stuff is so good he still pitched a good game. Wade Jr needs to be the 4th outfielder next year. Better yet find a right handed version of him. Don’t need to see Cave anymore.

    Seems we are a little Rosario centric lately. There are plenty of Twins that aren’t perfect.
  8. Linus
    I think for the playoffs you go with guys that have playoff experience. As far as starters go Maeda and Pineda and then whoever is hot between Berrios and Dobnak. Berrios is getting a lot of slack for someone who hasn’t pitched great.

    I see the development side as the FO strength. They have hired a number of talented people proven by how many were poached by other orgs. Only time will tell on the drafting side.

    Guess this means we better win it this year or next!

    What a pleasure to watch Pineda pound the strike zone. I like Rocco but haven’t figured him out. He has been ultra careful with his starters but let’s Pineda throw a hundred pitches in his second live start. I know there is a reason but not obvious to me.

    Romos slider
  13. Linus
    Agreed. Amazing the pitching talent they have let go
  14. Linus
    I give Cleveland credit for one thing: they are not afraid.
  15. Linus
    I believe one aspect of this is being missed. I’ve heard many players simply say that playing in light of what is happening would send a message that things are ok and they obviously are not.

    These bullpen games have to stop. Trashes our pen for multiple games. We had to trot out two unproven rookies against our division rival.
  17. Linus
    I think the one knee down stance is a major factor. It helps with framing but makes blocking balls and throwing more difficult.
  18. Linus
    Looks like he might struggle with the breaking stuff.
  19. Linus
    This. And I don’t like the exercise where we take away bad luck as I’m sure there have been some ropes hit right at guys. His mechanics have always been kind of funky and I think causes him to be inconsistent
  20. Linus
    Don’t think this on the mark. He gives up few homers so I don’t see anybody golfing his sinkers. I do agree that Maeda could be a good example for him
  21. Linus
    We don’t have one. The two best pitchers we have also have the best command and control. Coincidence? I think not.
  22. Linus
    Ummm have you noticed that he has been our best pitcher going on a year now? Maybe focus on the results and not worry so much about how it happens.
  23. Linus
    “Dobnak was solid”. If Berrios put up these numbers we would be claiming he is an elite ace. It’s funny how you have to achieve results in a way that jives with current analytics to be considered something other than a fluke. As for the catching Avila should be playing more. He’s better defensively and is getting on base which works well for the bombas.
  24. Linus
    This. He isn’t an analytics dream. All he does is get guys out. Will it continue I don’t know but until then maybe some of the Twins other starters should take notice especially Berrios.
  25. Linus
    Buxton Cruz Maeda and Dobnak can share it. I actually more confidence in in Buxton and Dobnak to sustain this which is surprising
