    Early thought: Rackley is giving Ryan a much more generous strike zone than he is giving Bibee tonight. Similar pitch locations are being called different.
  2. Western SD Fan
    Gave Lee a triple on that one. Official scorers are very generous now.

    You can put the tv on mute and use the radio part of MLB.TV subscription and listen to the Cleveland broadcast

    Should be a good night for Ryan if Rackley keeps giving him that pitch.
  5. Western SD Fan
    Not sure I would go that far. Better form of lousy is probably closer to the truth.
  6. Western SD Fan
    That is a season total. This should be a better idea of how it's been the last week.
  7. Western SD Fan
    Guess what?? The Twins bullpen has an under 5.00 ERA! Optimism abounds!

    Mirror, Mirror on the wall. Who is the biggest loser of them all? 😉

    I hate to bring this up, but Culpepper is a RH batter. Although I think Kreidler, even RH, would be the better player than Gray. You know how much the Twins LOVE their platoon splits.

    If you like Canadian football, we finally scored a single to get on the scoreboard.

    THIS. If we had done a better job in the offseason piecing this team together, Kreidler likely isn't on the team. As the team currently stands, he is the best option we have for SS. Maybe that mouse pictured above has a spare SS in his pocket that we can borrow. We are all expecting Culpepper to be the answer. I think he still has to pass the biggest ability: Availability.

    And avoided the shutout and since we are still behind by 9 runs. My Kody Clemens appearance is still possible.
  13. Western SD Fan
    As I recall, we were chasing a division crown and were supposed to be serious playoff contenders in 2024. You want to talk about long-term track records. I'm looking at how they are playing in the moment. Seems like Kreidler is currently the better player than Farmer was being on a team that was supposed to be chasing a WS chance.

    Kreidler is the type of player that has always been in the Twins system. Whether it was Farmer, Astudillo, Punto, or Denny Hocking if you want to go back that far. A scrappy player that doesn't put up great numbers but is a dog out in the field and typically gives quality AB's. None of those players were ever going to be All-Stars of HOF. They're the little guy everyone loves to root for. Many people were saying the same thing about Clemens last year and, as of now, that has turned out ok. Willi Castro was a FA signing seemingly out of baseball until Rocco called him. These players are exciting to watch. Finally, we need to root for him since he is the current best option we have at the position. Don't @ me about Culpepper. Let's see if he stays healthier longer than Czar Nicholas II's son with hemophilia first before we crown him the second coming.

    A Bell garbage time solo shot can play the part.
  16. Western SD Fan
    Going into this series. I was expecting one win. If we split against Cleveland, that would put us two games off of .500 with the A's and KC coming up. That still seems doable to be sniffing around at the deadline.

    Zebby really needs to have a long chat with Ober on how to pitch for weak contact. He does not seem to have an out pitch. If I remember correctly, he never really has had an out pitch.
  18. Western SD Fan
    Travis Adams. Maybe Kody Clemens later in the game.
  19. Western SD Fan
    This was my argument yesterday about going full ABS without a 3D plate. I believe Jeffers wins that challenge if the ABS system was 3D. That ball looked like it caught the front corner of the plate. Because of where ABS is measured, it was called a ball.

    Zebby is from another era in Twins pitching: the Rick Anderson days when he stressed pitching to contact. That philosophy only worked if you had a great defense behind you. The Twins did back then. They do not now (although it has improved lately). There will be balls put into play that our defense will not be able to get to. This is likely the normal for Zebby. Giving up 2-4 runs and getting through 6 innings. If the offense does its job, that should lead to more wins than losses.

    It's nice to see a team who is willing to foul off pitches and not think they have to swing out of their cleats.
  23. Western SD Fan
    Don't worry Royce, even though I'm just watching, I'm chewing my nails with you at 2nd as well.
  24. Western SD Fan
    My view of Bradley has been that he just cannot handle traffic on the bases. Gives up a solo HR, he's fine. It's the people on base that seem to get him out of rhythm and he will melt down. Not exactly a #2 starter.
  25. Western SD Fan
    I don't know where that pitch was supposed to be. Jeffers didn't move much like he was expecting that pitch there. If that's the case, it was bad selection rather than bad execution. You usually try not to hang an off-speed pitch right in the swing of a power RH bat.
