    Prior to the Buck double, I was going to suggest to Cory that he keeps the run expectancy stat to himself since it always disappoints us in the end. Today, it did not disappoint.

    Cory Provus just reported that Adams is color blind. I vote to make him wear the City Connects every day that he's still on the active roster.

    Just read that our recent old friend Joey Wentz was picked up by the Braves.

    I think this was the best-case scenario for the Twins. A quick-ish 1st inning allows Sands to go 2 innings. I'm not sure that if the Twins had this inning in the first that Sands would have come back out, even if that was the plan.

    Great job by Clemens and Buxton giving some run support for the young rookie coming in after this inning.

    There was a wild speculation rumor floating late in the week that they were actually going to activate Matthews to pitch today. I guess he is going to have a rehab start today in St. Paul, max about 40 - 50 pitches.

    Highest home attendance all year. Opening Day was 36,783.

    I heard Duluth's own, Trampled by Turtles, really gets into it.
  9. Western SD Fan
    Those jerseys should be a punishment that the rookies have to wear on travel days.
  10. Western SD Fan
    Oh yes, our old friend IKF. So short a time he was a Twin that he didn't even make a phone call to a TC realtor.

    Hanlon's Razor suggests bad reporting.
  12. Western SD Fan
    He will need a different nickname though. I don't see Mexican Smoke working for Duran since he's from the Dominican Republic.
  13. Western SD Fan
    At least assume we won't see him until after the All-Star Break and maybe not in Colorado.

    Gasper has a gardening glove?

    I may be late the party on this comment. We finally have a game of some national interest (Skenes v Ryan). I was out at a sports bar earlier in the day where they had all of the sports pundits on and they were discussing whether this was the best MLB ticket of the year with the pitching matchup + Nelly concert. We still have to wear those AWFUL City Connects just because it's Friday!

    I'm not blaming Lewis on that one. We have been MMQB all season that they need to put runners in motion, especially to stay of a GIDP. They finally put a runner in motion and it didn't work out. You can say that he should have looked in, but he would have been thrown out every time that he's at second base.

    The insurance was Castro falling down and looking longingly at first base like, "that's just too far to run", in front of the Larnach home run.
  18. Western SD Fan
    I thought it looked like his ankle got caught in front of the base and was twisted, but we will find out at the end of the game. You just hope his is alright.
  19. Western SD Fan
    Today would have been a day I would have preferred Plouffe as the color man.

    Sadly enough, I made this point in yesterday's thread. When these players (Castro) see your supposed leaders (Correa) not running out at bats, it becomes contagious. Combine that with a players-centric manager that seems hands-off with things like this, and you get a recipe for apathy. Sorry this is late, I was waiting to see if something was going to happen to Castro, whether he was hurt, or potentially taken out of the game. EDIT: Kudos to Lewis for running out of the box on an excuse me swing.

    As feeble as it looked on the field, I do think we need to understand expectations as well. Prior to this homestand, if you would have been asked how you would feel to take 2 or 3 from both the Rays and the Cubs, most of us would have suggested to be checked into a 72-hour mental hold. I'm going to be happy for the series results and hope for a sweep against the Pirates, who are on a six-game losing streak coming into Minnesota.

    Keirsey Jr is starting to remind me more of a Billy Hamilton type of player later in his career. He's mainly a pinch runner and defensive specialist. A nice player to have on a contending team, but a luxury on a team trying to find its footing.
  23. Western SD Fan
    To finish the thought that they said on the broadcast while giving props to Correa's defense. They commented that the rest of the players follow his example on how to play defense and to stay focused. I also believe they follow Correa's example on offense as he doesn't run out plays and doesn't seem to give quality at bats and it has rubbed off on the other players on the team.

    I liked how they discussed early in the telecast about how the Twins play the greatest number of early games in the MLB and how they can ambush a team because they are used to it. I think they forgot that the Cubs tend to play a lot of afternoon games at Wrigley and we tend to not be awake on getaway day.
  25. Western SD Fan
    You're right. Paddack is likely closer to the middle or how he has been in his career. A back-end starter hoping to give you 5 to 6 innings of 3 run or less ball. I personally wouldn't sign him to an extension and would try to trade him considering we have enough pitchers that fit that role already on the team or in AAA.
