  1. Ok, just need a quick 6-spot to get this kid a W.
  2. Twins have four ABs left. Two-Run lead isn’t safe. This game is setting up nicely for a Poppen victory.
  3. Why isn’t Sean Poppen in the game? Also, Boston is traditionally a very selective team. They forced Gibson to throw them strikes, and he wasn’t doing it.
  4. That kind of stellar punditry is sure to get Arraez out of the TD gamethread masses.
  5. Thanks SSOO for including that pic of Cora in the Mike game thread intro. If vanimal was doing the thread, it would be the honorary “Alex Cora Whine Line” thread. Come on Mike, bring home a series victory! By the way, wasn’t Giancarlo Stanton the player formerly known as Mike? Let’s hope the Twins do a Mike Stanton imitation and hit a handful of jonrons tonight.
  6. I don’t see a game thread for tonight, but whoever is doing the thread, I feel like this photo of Alex Cora during last night’s game needs to be included:
  7. I just made my way through this entire thread. Some remarkable advice found in these parts that I wish I had perused earlier. Interested to know what takes are on some of the touted stocks on here like Nvidia, Shopify, Tesla, Disney, New Relic, Okta (and Uber, Lyft and Chewy as well) at current prices. I’m suspicious that the market as a whole is going to take a serious downturn. Winter is coming (and rates are low, so there isn’t much flexibility to mitigate a slowdown).
  8. I disagree about Cruz—I’d want him up in that situation every time. I do agree that Polanco should have been hitting away. They finally got a new pitcher, a guy who walks guys—-take your cracks at him! Hopefully Rocco learns a lesson from that.
  9. Twins season by tens: 6-4 7-3 6-4 6-4 9-1 6-4 7-2 They don’t have an 8-2 stretch (or a non-winning stretch). How about adding one today? Happy Father’s Day to all of us fathers out there.
  10. This seems like a trick question. I’m not sure how best to answer it, but by the end of today, he may have 100% of the last three US Opens (and, perhaps more appropriately, be 50% of the way towards a consecutive grand slam.)
  11. When they finally get around to instituting an automated balls and strike system, Angel Hernandez will be argument #1. Or #1A (Joe West.)
  12. I’m just not clear why Williams Astudillo is texting Tanner. And for some reason I read it as “run over a human baby every fifth game”, which would have been only a modest proposal, but may have been swiftly misinterpreted.
  13. That means they have a pretty formidable playoff rotation.
  14. I didn’t know that you played in the first recorded baseball game!
  15. There is nothing consistent about these posts at all. They keep changing. The bombas just keep on coming.
  16. I found it interesting to read through the discussions from the draft when the Twins took Tyler Jay, in particular, the Benintendi thread. He was one of the fastest riders in the draft, and my question at the time was how a kid could really change their outlook in one spring season? Obviously, the late helium for Benintendi was correct, he had turned a corner or really started to show who he was. For Cavaco, I’ve read that he didn’t appear in a lot of the big prep showcase events last summer (Area Code Games and Perfect Game Showcase) and so wasn’t on people’s radar until quite late. Thus the late rise in his stock. Here’s hoping that his value continues to rise as he starts his pro career. Will be interesting to watch his performance compared to the other kids in the draft, in particular prep kids who went before him (Witt, Greene, Abrams, plus Carroll after him) and others considered possible Twins’ picks like Langeliers, Jung (drafted before Cavaco) and Stott (who the Twins passed on).
  17. I, personally, am glad that EE is not on Cleveland any more. And also that the Twins beat the Mariners even despite giving up a 3-run bomb to him. Hope they can contain him today and tomorrow at least a bit. I think Perez is alright. Certainly plenty good for a fifth starter for now. May came in with the smallest of margins, and worked out of a (self-induced) jam. I’d chalk that up as a good outing.
  18. That would be an excellent pair of pitchers to acquire. Would not come too cheap. Brusdar, Gordon and Cave?
  19. I’d vote no on: Sergio Romo, Brad Hand, Shane Greene, or Tony Watson. I’d be fine with anyone else listed here, maybe in this order, not that it matters too much/ Vasquez, Giles, Holland, Diekman, Smith, Givens. I’d also add a couple of Reds guys to the list: Raisel Iglesias or Amir Garrett. No to Sean Doolittle—the Nats are only 6 back and coming on strong.
  20. Interesting reading those threads, thanks for posting. The best, by far, was a comment by a poster named “Captain Hindsight”: “Seems like things are pointing to Jay. Manual, Callis and Mayo all have him as the Twins selection in their final mocks before the draft. I'd find that a highly disappointing selection if it turns out to be true as I'm concerned about how his body and stuff will hold up as a starter. Speaking of which, noticed he was sitting more 91-93 instead of 94-96 in his performance today.”
  21. Buxton was feeling the pressure after Sano homered—has to keep his lead. Those two guys will join the double-digit HR parade soon enough.
  22. 100 games left of the season. If they go 50-50, then finish with 92 wins. Cleveland would need to go 60-39 to get to 92 wins.
