    I honestly don’t remember if Gil had potential or not. He obviously was a long way from the show. Philosophically I would never trade a pitcher with potential, even in the low minors, for a backup outfielder that are readily available for $2 million, maybe even free off the waiver wire.

    I’m happy for Varland. The Twins bullpen needs a lot more than Varland to be good.

    One thing about our bullpen, you never know who is going to blow it on any given day. Congratulations to Taj

    This loss epitomizes what many of us were expecting. Good starting pitching, feast or famine offense and a non-existent bullpen. TPs decision to try and win is looking pretty silly about now.
  5. Linus
    Twins as advertised tonight.
  6. Linus
    Martins at bats are so much more competitive than a year ago.
  7. Linus
    Nice quick tag by Luke.
  8. Linus
    Lots of pain on that pitch.
  9. Linus
    Gray had an at bat, Royce not really.

    Only drawback is a guy could get winded running over to the next section to pick up the ball.
  11. Linus
    I like the drone camera. It appears tickets are available.
  12. Linus
    Not a good at bat.
  13. Linus
    Is Mornie going to whine about the difficulty of hitting for the rest of the game?
  14. Linus
    Interesting aspect of analytics- no more pitchouts. No way guys would run 0-2 in the “old days” due to threat of pitchout.
  15. Linus
    This is spot on. If we are really trying to win these need to be made yesterday. One of the FO failings is the inability to make shorter term roster adjustments.
  16. Linus
    This. If he is the last guy on the bench it’s not horrible. But for some reason the Twins want to give him regular playing time.

    Buck has crazy raw power for a speedy guy.
  18. Linus
    Hat tip to Jeffers with the old school two strike approach.
  19. Linus
    I think there is plenty of consternation directed at all the players you mentioned.
  20. Linus
    Ironically the bullpen might be easiest to fix. The hitting and fielding problems can only be fixed by inserting new players in the lineup. We all thought that would be the up and comers in St Paul but none of them are hitting enough to be an improvement offensively. Several would provide immediate defensive help but they won’t get the chance if they can’t hit. With the bullpen you could insert Rojas, Festa when he comes back, and some combination of SWR / Preilipp / Mathews. That would be a marked improvement over the current pen. Of course that assumes the Twins are still in it and trying to win.

    Both catchers have done a great job utilizing the new system. Jeffers has a good game theory sense of when to do it. Unfortunately it’s their strongest attribute at the present time.
  22. Linus
    Happy for Zebby. We are going to need him sooner or later. Equally excited about Rojas and the strike throwing. If he can throw it over he would be the best pen arm by far. The only question is whether his development as a potential starter is more important.
  23. Linus
    Obviously it was a rhetorical question.
  24. Linus
    Not to nitpick but it’s “losing” streak. Might want to edit that.
  25. Linus
    Definitely talent. They’ve had multiple hitting coaches just in the last few years with the same basic results. We need better players.
