  1. Now there's some nice RISP!! That's Cruz's 3rd double of the year with the bases loaded. Great job boys!
  2. It's a New York team... they're either a World Series contender, or a dumpster fire according to the media. They made a bunch of sexy moves over the offseason, and decided to acquire Stroman... but they're not much more than a .500 team.
  3. It turns out the Mets are a decent squad... getting swept by them isn't quite as shameful as it originally appeared to be.
  4. Last I checked, Rocco wasn't pitching... and Abreu isn't some amazing hitter who should be walked whenever possible. Get him out, pitchers!
  5. Wow, was that four straight flyballs hit towards Cave? Are the Sox strategically hitting it towards him?
  6. It’s funny you mention Drake, he’s currently on the Rays bullpen alongside Anderson. He pitched very well for the Twins, which made it baffling why they cut him IMO. The Belisle situation was a total joke, and Anderson was a legitimate option to be called up... thankfully we haven’t seen any moves like that one this season, I guess outside of a few days of Torres being on the roster.
  7. It's weird, it seems this team is more clutch on the road. Perhaps they press in RISP situations when the crowd is expecting a big hit, or when the pitcher needs to get a big out. Most teams don't struggle with this. Though I guess this won't be the worst thing if we end up as the 3rd seed? We'll need to win some big road games.
  8. I'm not sure what Sano was supposed to do there, since plowing the catcher over has been banned. Also, more bad RISP!!
  9. Good job Cave, let's tie this thing up boys!
  10. Just from my uninformed opinion... I have a hard time seeing a team picking Javier with how poorly he's hit. He won't have any chance against MLB pitchers and would be hard to carry on a 26 man roster. Celestino is borderline, but my gut is they could sneak him through unprotected. Not sure if he has enough upside to be worth a rule 5 pick at this juncture.
  11. That's a fair point. The number of quality starters in the MLB is very small... It's funny you say that, I know many didn't want the Twins to trade high on Gibson during the trade deadline last season because we needed him to compete in 2019. I am fine with letting him walk in free agency.
  12. I still think they should rest Berrios so he can be good further down the road. Having him continue to pitch poorly now isn't helping our playoff push.
  13. It sounds like an exile to the San Diego Padres is in order. He'll have an ERA of around 3.00 in no time!
  14. I meant to post this 5 minutes earlier, not realizing Gibson already got into trouble. Whoops, looks like I jinxed it.
  15. The good news about Gibson - he's good against bad teams, which means he's probably going to have a great outing tonight.
  16. I would have kept Littell on the squad, he's been pitching well as of late. I would have liked to seen Harper go down for a bit. Good to have Cruz back, and here's hoping his hand can stay healthy.
  17. Rowson deserves a promotion or something... I know the juiced ball has helped, but the ABs our boys are taking out there have improved drastically this season. Rowson deserves some credit!
  18. Don’t forget that the Twins have an extra year of Dyson, which I would guess is what made the trade cost Davis. It’s still hard to say whether Davis is going to hit MLB pitching, and hopefully he’ll get a shot to do so in September.
  19. Seems like this Twins team is better on the road. And it appears they’ve won 8 more games on the road... not sure why.
  20. Impressive job, Twins... now enjoy matchups against the White Sox and Tigers!
  21. An important piece of non-Twins news: Kluber topping out at 90 sounds like bad news to me - bad news for him and the Tribe.
  22. I'm alright with Cave in RF instead of CF.
  23. Another slow game... Lynn's at 99 pitches to start the 5th!! If anyone's interested, I'm doing a Strat-O-Matic Simulation of this game that I'll be posting on my Twins Daily blog later. It's not going well... the Rangers are up 6-0 at the end of the 4th inning - Forsythe hit a 3 run homer off Perez, and I had enough and I pulled him for Thorpe.
  24. Plus I believe we're only 2.5 games behind Houston, so they're worth watching too. We could catch them and get the 2nd seed (the Yanks are around 7 games ahead at this point).
  25. I thought this was one of those satire pieces at first. Tom, I thought you only wrote legitimate pieces!
