  1. ...and Hechavarria caps off the series of his life with a big HR...
  2. Is this the fourth straight game with an awful throw by a Twins outfielder? And why are these no-name batters teeing off Rogers?
  3. There we go!! Against a lefty again! I've got a good feeling about Kepler.
  4. RISP Update: Twins: 0 for 7 Rays 7 for 9 (!!!)
  5. Eh, I'm happy with Reed and I think Rodney and Duke will come around. Kinley was not one of the reasons to be excited about the bullpen.
  6. It's already 10-1, but I'm actually OK with it because the chances Kinley is a goner is increasing.
  7. Kinley's looking as about I expected. Too many balls --> walks, HRs, and wild pitches. Yeah, it's a SSS, but he's not ready to face major leaguers and I'm not sure he ever will.
  8. I'm pretty sure we don't need to give him a 40 man spot.
  9. Moya's going to AAA before Hildy is at this rate.
  10. Man, Span has been pretty clutch. And Moya suddenly can't get lefties out.
  11. Sounds great, I was hoping to hear an update on the situation after that one game thread 2 years back where I recall the folks here were more interested in your love life than the actual game.
  12. You don't call for the batting coach's head 15 games in after his first season went so well...
  13. LaMarre is the true two result batter. Either single or strikeout!
  14. Hey, there we go! Good to finally get a run early in a game.
  15. Grossman as the cleanup hitter is pretty bad, but still not as bad as when Gimenez was the cleanup hitter that one time.
  16. I would bring Hughes and Duffey up for Hildenberger and Kinley. There, done, problem solved. Buxton can take Duffey's spot when he's ready. I don't think we need a third catcher...
  17. Eh, I'd like to wait until Duffey has thrown more than 4 appearances in Rochester. He was a poor pitcher in two full seasons from 2016-17, and he failed to make the bullpen, so a good two week streak in AAA doesn't mean much to me. Either way, Hildy should be in AAA and Kinley shouldn't be in the major leagues, so they'll have to try some other arms. Duffey will get another chance at some point. BTW I see our old pal D. J. Baxendale has thrown 8 innings with an earned run in AAA.
  18. I mean, I am a little concerned. I have very high expectations for him, and the second half of 2017 and the first few weeks of 2018 have me disappointed. I think he has the ability to be an annual all-star and he should hit 40+ HRs a year. He's still young and has a ton of baseball ahead of him, so I expect he'll improve his presence at the plate, but it's not going to be easy. It will be frustrating to have so many 0 for 5 games with 3 strikeouts, but we'll have to put up with it and hope Sano adjusts. I think he will at some point.
  19. Honestly I'm just glad it's taken this long for Hughes to even get a start. Hopefully we won't have to endure his poor pitching for too long.
  20. Kepler against a lefty!!! Here we go!!!
  21. Wow, I looked away for 5 minutes and now it's a time game. Good job Rosario!
  22. Hildy has 3 options. He's never been sent down before.
  23. Bleh. Rogers needs to get lefties out...
  24. It helps when their best batter is hitting 8th.
  25. Fun Fact: The Twins have struck out more times than they've gotten hits. Twins hitters have combined for 109 hits this year. They’ve struck out 131 times. Over a combined 524 plate appearances, that works out to a collective 25% strikeout rate and a ‘base-hit rate’ of 20.8%.
