  1. I understand. It was a bit tongue in cheek as it seemed like everything mentioned in the article came true for Morris tonight. I hope he can continue it through his next outings.
  2. Did Morris read the Twins Daily article on him earlier today? Seems like he listened to the article. 🤫
  3. @Aggies7 was complaining earlier in the game that he wanted a clean inning. Sometimes complaining does work. Good job on the complaint front!
  4. Uh Oh. We now have a lead to protect. Who on earth is going to come in for the 9th. Time to spin the Bullpen Wheel of Regrets!
  5. Speaking of home runs. James Outman just hit his first home run of the season, for the Tigers.
  6. We may have just found our Slim for tonight. Welcome back Royce Lewis!
  7. Tonight's game was the hope we could get a win this weekend. We are now depending on Slim and None. Slim is nursing his wounds and None skipped town.
  8. Not until Culpepper eats at the finest restaurant in Toledo: Tony Packo's.
  9. I know it was considered a wild pitch, but Caratini could have at least made an attempt to block it.
  10. I just turned on the game. Looks like we got ourselves a pitcher's duel.
  11. Another name that fits your criteria: Sandy Koufax. Prior to his 1961 season, his lowest ERA in a full season was 3.91 and as high as 4.91 with a WHIP of 1.619 in 1956. His average SO/BB ratio during that time was 1.70, nearly a full strikeout lower than Hill at 2.65K/BB. I had to look up the numbers but had heard this recently perusing though a mini doc about how Koufax defended a young Nolan Ryan because he went through the same issues early in his career.
  12. To answer the question posed, here is the order that I would keep the list of players mentioned provided that all of them are supposed to be defensive specialists. 1. Kreidler - Mainly due to his ability to play CF if Buxton needs a day off. Unless the Twins are willing to promote Fedko while Jenkins, Roden, and the remainder of the patients in the hospital ward come back quickly as I do not know how the rehab is going for any of them. 2. Gray - As previously mentioned, he is the only player of the three who can provide a platoon option. 3. Arcia - This leaves him as the odd man out. Kreidler or Lewis could fill in for Lee. They want to give Lewis as much time at 1st or 2nd as they can. Clemens can field 1st or 2nd and we can even use Bell in a pinch at 1st. One more idea not asked in the article. If they are thinking on a Keaschall reset, they should do it now. Let's hypothesize there is a real trade market for Clemens. Considering the number of positions Clemens can cover, they will need Keaschall to cover 2nd if he is ever traded. They should try to reset him now, before the trade deadline, so he can come back and be the regular 2nd baseman like they have done with Lewis.
  13. This certainly doesn't help with Laweryson being this terrible. I would guess he was expected to go 2 innings and save the bullpen.
  14. Matthews is still pitching because the bullpen is as dry as LA's fire hydrants before a fire. If you can believe it, they labeled the Lewis misplay as a hit.
  15. We have to be approaching some kind of record of Twins pitching giving up an opposing player's first home run of the year.
  16. And Zebby just has to eat it as he needs to log in at least 2-3 more innings to try to save the bullpen.
  17. Next week on Unsolved Mysteries. Cody searches the organization for the mysterious pitcher named TBD that suddenly appears than disappears from lineups from time to time.
  18. Like I said in yesterday's thread, results may vary.
  19. I was going to suggest that he has a wheel in the dugout named "Wheel of Regrets"
