    Would be nice if Twins had scored half of the runners they got on third with less than two outs home.

    Bert "hard throwing lefty" I think that qualifies as an understatement, no?
  3. AlwaysinModeration
    Can we trade for Rajai Davis for the 9th inning?
  4. AlwaysinModeration
    This was a good, albeit highly random, comment

    This deal should have been contingent on him returning Johan's Cy Young Award. On the bright side, Bartolo and Ichiro are the only two holes I have left. Once they are gone, there is no one older than me playing MLB. That means I still have time to make it, right?

    Statcast had Buxton going from 1st to home in 9.47 seconds. That's, fast, right? I love it when Buxton goes so fast rounding a base that he has to throw up his right arm as an emergency release / rudder control to keep from falling over. It feel like watching a startled doe running through the woods.

    Oh we are going to have a field day with this.
  8. AlwaysinModeration
    Was there an explanation for Mauer sitting for a second consecutive day against RHP? Also, did anyone else notice that Dylan Bundy is listed as a switch hitter?
  9. AlwaysinModeration
    What I don't get...Adrianza was going to pinch run for Castro. If so, Mauer should have pinch hit for him.
  10. AlwaysinModeration
    Every time Buxton catches a ball in the gap that no one else would catch, we should add a "1 for 1, double" to his batting line.
  11. AlwaysinModeration
    I really want Buxton to turn into the star that he could turn into.
  12. AlwaysinModeration
    Wait a second here. Does that actually work?
  13. AlwaysinModeration
    Buxton is on pace for two triples. Didn't see that coming.
  14. AlwaysinModeration
    I don't know if Jorge was impressive enough to earn another turn. I will say though that the double in the first inning is an out if Buxton was playing CF, and they go 1-2-3 in the first instead of down 2-0.

    This is the post of the year.

    Nice news that it will be Jorge. I'm not sure how optimistic we should be about his spot start, straight out of AA. Realistically, let's hope for five innings, 3 or fewer runs. How good would he have to pitch to get consideration for a second start? I'm also still surprised Jorge didn't get taken in the Rule 5 draft this year - any team could have nabbed him.

    I seem to remember José Oquendo playing all nine positions in a game. I'm not gonna lie...it would be pretty cool to see Gimenez do that. Or at least kind of cool.

    Is it just me, or did this thread take a wild swing from stories of quitting drinking (with a bit of personal tragedy thrown in)....to long lurid descriptions of cocktails? Anyhoo...nice win for Mejia. Now, looking ahead. Has anyone said this yet--I know Gibson is old, but I think he's turned a corner. He's got the stuff, just hasn't figured out to put batters away earlier in the count. 4.13 ERA in June. I think he's going to continue to improve the rest of the season, and turn into an asset.

    This is the most gamethread of gamethreads. Plus I learn things (today is summer solstice, shoe shine substitutes for chocolate sauce, Vanimal has ambitions, although perhaps a bit modest, etc) Peach cobbler on a shoestring for everyone!
  20. AlwaysinModeration
    Can the Twins trade for Aaron Hicks and Alex Meyer?
  21. AlwaysinModeration
    "Slightly over $1.935mm" sounds kind of like $2mm, doesn't it? I liked his interview during the game last night. Handled himself quite well. I may be the only one, but I hope he turns into a superstar, personally.
  22. AlwaysinModeration
    I know this is nitpicking the shellacking, but I feel like the ump did a lousy job. Seemed like he gave Carrasco several extra strikes (Kepler should have had a 3-1 count in the second instead of 2-2, Polanco should have had a walk), while Turley was given no calls at all. When Turley couldn't find the handle on his curveball (Kipnis leaned into the 0-2 curveball in the first), he came out throwing nothing but fastballs in the second and the Indians were very aware that that was what was coming. His fastball has very little movement. Edit: I looked up the game log on Brooks. Carrasco had 6 balls out of the strike zone called strikes, and zero balls in the strike zone called balls. Turley had 5 balls out of the strike zone called strikes, and 4 balls in the strike zone called balls. That's 5% of Carrasco's pitches called wrong, and that's 12% of Turley's pitches called wrong.

    I don't want to let this thread end on that note, so let's go with this... Nice win, nice game by José, let's hope Escobar and Rosario stay hot this weekend. Need to get those bats firing, would love to take 3 of 4 games and break out a 4-game lead over Cleveland. Sure, the starting rotation for this series isn't necessarily how I would have drawn it up to start the season, but let's win 'em anyway.
  24. AlwaysinModeration
    Wonder if he had signed last year and put up those same numbers for Cedar Rapids what we would have him ranked in our organization?
  25. AlwaysinModeration
    It would appear the Twinshave Leach higher in their ratings than Enlow and/or were afraid of another team snagging him.
