  1. Way to work that count, get a look at the pitcher……..,never mind
  2. I have to continually remind myself that Rocco actually played the game at this level because his style of management leads one to believe that he has no feel for the game. No continuity, players look like they don’t have or know their roles, etc. I love Twins baseball but I hate what is going on with them lately.
  3. I’m not watching this tonight. Are the fans at the field at least letting him have it?
  4. Considering the alternatives I can’t think of why it would make any sense to pinch hit for AK. He’s about all this lineup has going for it most nights.
  5. I can see them winning two, if only because I can't see a repeat of the combination of bad calls and bullpen blow ups of late. Yeah I'm a sucker for this stuff.
  6. Exactly. For good reason. Might be a super nice clubhouse guy but I don't know how that's going to really help things. And for me it's not just that he's had a couple of ill-timed bad outings this year. We were watching last year, and as it's been pointed out, he hasn't really been great since 2019. He must have a good agent....
  7. Agree with this, it's just I'd rather that the inning eater guys be someone with a possible future with the organization and/or guys we need to learn something about.
  8. This is the first I've herd/read of a suggestion to transition Miranda to LF. Is that really an option? Have a hard time picturing him lumbering around out there.......
  9. I don't disagree with any of this, but sometimes you just gotta move on. The events of the past 12 hours have actually caused me to research Ron Davis, to confirm if he was really as bad as we thought he was back in the day. He was remembered for spectacular and predicable failures at the backend of the bullpen. Pagan=Ron Davis for me.
  10. There’s no numbers you could use to convince me that it’s a better strategy to have Pagan (still) on this roster than to grab someone, anyone, from somewhere else in the system. Eat the salary, say goodbye.
  11. Agreed, this is an awesome "at a glance" kind of resource for someone like me. Much appreciated. Thanks for tracking these guys.
  12. I probably don't have of much value to add, but that's never stopped me....... Turned a corner? Not sure, but this week will tell us something. There's wide range of possible outcomes but I'm telling myself winning 3 games would be awesome, winning 2 is expected if we're really the team that I think/hope we are. Jax? Better than he looks lately for sure, but maybe we need to better realize his limitations. There was one inning a while back where the announcers were highlighting that he had thrown approx 10 consecutive sliders over 2 or 3 batters. Seems weird to me that they weren't getting him to use speeds better. Strangely I can't generate much vitriol toward the FO for the trades. You need to give something to get something usually. Decent, reliable/healthy starting pitchers are becoming unicorns. They don't make many Nolan Ryans these days. Sure is nice to see some signs of life as of late.
  13. Thanks Sherry for the great recap. I know it's only May, but these past two games have really lifted everyone's spirits out here. Especially considering that was a pretty good team we took 2 of 3 from. So happy to see contributions from Farmer and AK. Now let's take care of business against the Cubs. Their SP has been pretty good this year, so I'm expecting some late game heroics might be needed to get us over the top.
  14. It’s probably one of those decisions that makes sense when looking at a huge set of data, but not so much in the moment. That’s the “beauty “ of baseball.
  15. Ok if it couldn’t be Farmer then happy it was AK. Huge for him.
  16. C’mon, win this one for……..Jax?
