    Margot!
  2. OvertheHill
    0-2 pitch
  3. OvertheHill
    Reminds me too much of this:
  4. OvertheHill
    Probably not intentional but there needs to be some reaction
  5. OvertheHill
    Maybe this afternoon
  6. OvertheHill
    Santana. Our new lead off hitter!
  7. OvertheHill
    Good for Margot. Maybe our patience is going to be rewarded.
  8. OvertheHill
    Ah, the Great Carlos Santana Leadoff Experience going as expected…..
  9. OvertheHill
    We’re going to need some more runs I think
  10. OvertheHill
    I’m dreaming I know but I’m hoping for some big, old fashioned move in the coaching staff to light a fire under this listless franchise.

    I too am annoyed by the egregious bad ball/strike calls we witness, but in my heart I don’t believe it’s what is holding the team back. That’s why I think it’s critical for the Manager to set the tone; truly good teams can overcome this stuff but once in a while the Manager should be sticking up for his pitchers and hitters. As far as overcoming this stuff, this team hasn’t looked like they consistently can. And it isn’t Rocco’s style to argue with umps, even if it might fire up his guys.

    Through 6, we have 7 hits and 2 walks and zero runs. It feels like we’re witnessing epic levels of futility this year. Coming up small most of the time.
  13. OvertheHill
    Still a pretty meaningful statistic to me.
  14. OvertheHill
    That’s so Twins.
  15. OvertheHill
    Yes, and over the course of that long season we expect to see all kinds of highs and lows. All FO’s market their teams coming out of ST as having a shot at winning it all, but obviously only one does. Does that make everyone else unsuccessful? No. Fan bases can be satisfied (and entertained) by good fundamentals, well managed competitive teams that balance established players and exciting new players, and legitimate progress that looks like it’s building to something better. My lament is that this franchise appears happy with just treading water, and that more or less worked in a bad division. I see Cleveland and KC on the way up right now.

    I hate it more, and can hardly stand the thought of it when they’re playing well and firing on all cylinders. They’re miles from that and with this roster and coach I don’t see it coming around in a meaningful way this year. I’m allowing the reality of a 3rd place finish to sink in.
  17. OvertheHill
    Stroman walks a lot of guys. Here’s hoping that the Twins (and umps) don’t expand the strike zone and make the guy work a little.
  18. OvertheHill
    Agree that at this point of his career, Buxton profiles as a great glove, almost no stick No. 9 hitter that refuses to adapt his hitting approach to his skill set that includes great speed. He essentially negates that advantage by being a never-take-a-walk, swing for the fences, jerk everything hitter, but that is what the Twins apparently want from him. He’d be a bottom of the order on most other competitive teams.
  19. OvertheHill
    It’s sad that I’m reduced to the moral victory of breaking up a perfect game. That’s where we are against NY apparently.
  20. OvertheHill
    Haha
  21. OvertheHill
    It seems like we’ve given up an inordinate amount of 0-2 homers this year.
  22. OvertheHill
    Darn
  23. OvertheHill
    Such a joy watching Lewis play. He also happens to be such a positive guy. Not a coincidence.
  24. OvertheHill
    Man just need to string together a few decent AB’s…..
  25. OvertheHill
    Miranda looks the part over there at 1B. Just saying.
