  1. Not sure why everyone is surprised Perez doesn't look very good, he's just not a good starting pitcher. He has been very good against lefties this year, however, so if he makes the team to face some dangerous left-handed hitters, I'd be up for that. But if they want him to pitch multiple innings, that's just not going to end well. Also, the Yanks and Twins are tied at 306 HRs!
  2. It was confirmed today he will not return. I guess it’s not quite a firing...
  3. A couple notes not related to Arraez: the Yankees did not hit a HR last night, leaving us one behind them. We are also just 2 games behind NY... we almost caught them for the 2nd seed.
  4. Kyle Gibson is going to get eviscerated if he has to pitch against the Yankees. If the Royals and Tigers are putting up tons of baserunners on him, just imagine what New York will do.
  5. I don't think he takes that at this point. If Sano puts together a full season like 2019, he's going to be foregoing a lot of money in free agency.
  6. There's other ways to score runs that don't include bombas!
  7. Cleveland's down 7-0 to the White Sox - so it appears the pixie dust has worn off. You gotta give them credit, they played their butts off in the second half. Unfortunately for them, the A's and Rays had phenomenal seasons as well. That will be a fun Wild Card game to watch.
  8. The Twins do have one thing to play for... World Series home field advantage over the Braves. We are 1.5 games ahead of them at the moment... which means only the Dodgers will have home field advantage over us.
  9. I mean, Detroit will probably be back eventually, but I think it's hard to imagine Gardy will be the manager when that happens.
  10. Just checking in... here's hoping this game is going to go like yesterday's. Just need a 4 run inning soon.
  11. Kimbrel against Cardinals in the Cubs biggest series: 1.2 IP, 3 ER, got credit for 2 losses. Cubs season is over. Kimbrel has already given up 9 HRs and has over 5 BBs/9. No wonder why nobody wanted to sign this guy... BBref has him at -0.5 WAR.
  12. It doesn't seem like the Giants are at fault, at least from what I've read. It sucks that this injury has developed when it did, but I'd just chalk it up to bad luck.
  13. I'm not convinced this is Baldelli. This is the same thought process that caused a washed up Matt Belisle to pitch last season... just bizarre and illogical.
  14. We have officially reached Matt Belisle-levels of WTF is going on?!
  15. He's going to get eaten alive by the Yankees/Astros hitters if he pitches in a playoff series.
  16. Odo will be fine. Gibson? Uff da. I have no idea what the Twins are thinking.
  17. And then he immediately hit the next curve right down the middle for an RBI hit!
  18. Here we go, boys, let's take this lead! Nice AB Lamonte!
  19. Never fear, I am here! Rosario and Astudillo have never walked in the same game before. Today is a first! Heh, I got a bit of a laugh out of that one. Because it's true, of course! (for those who don't know, Purple Pain is a Vikings forum that diehardtwinsfan and I are on)
  20. I just looked it up: the Twins record when Astudillo takes a walk is 3-3. Pro tip: If you search "Tortuga" on Baseball-Reference, it redirects you to Astudillo's page.
  21. Thorpe recently went 5 innings, he seems to be stretched out enough to go 5-6 tops. Graterol hasn't thrown that many innings since his shoulder injury, he can probably go 2 innings tops.
  22. We are nearly 3 hours into the game and it's the top of the 7th inning. Slow games like this happen too frequently and are a pretty major turn-off to potential baseball fans. But hey, I can't complain about 10 runs scored!
  23. I am so done with Perez... and I’m also fed up with how much rope our starters get.
  24. That was a shockingly good inning from Thorpe. But I'd like it if we could move on to somebody else in the bullpen, now.
