    At least pull the sweeps up so you're not digging the ground up on your path to first.

    Kody must have visited Livengood, AK in the offseason because that hit only happens once a season.

    Lee just about got thrown out not getting out of 1st gear and into road gear.

    They have already exceeded my expectations for the 2nd inning in making Sonny work.
  6. Western SD Fan
    It is the second inning, but your point is still valid. 😉

    A 29 pitch first inning. Now where the Twins typically fail is making him work another grueling inning. 2nd inning will be 11 pitches and he will be back on schedule.

    I agree. The multi-inning reliever has been making a comeback for some time now. I'm not sure we will see 3 inning relief appearances being as common as they were when the save was created as a stat, but definitely 4-6 out appearances are becoming more common. As for his usage, it sounds like they still want him stretched out in case they do need him as a spot starter. Won't be the first or the last pitcher to toil in mid to long relief before getting his chance to be a full-time starter.

    Absolutely! Contreras may not think it, but Caratini probably saved him from getting drilled in his next AB.

    And now the game is over just in time for AAA action from St. Paul! Also, for people here who have signed up for the full MLB package, you can now watch the national game on FOX tonight as well!

    I think Caratini was standing up for the team on Contreras's antics. I've seen that a lot with catchers, especially when it looks like they are acting up around the bases. Contreras backed down quickly after Caratini confronted him.

    I can understand the logic since IKF is a RH hitter and not a switch hitter, but it was clear Morris couldn't find the strike zone.

    Like the decision by Kreidler as well knowing he wasn't getting two. Too many infielders try to rush that exchange and drop the ball and get none.

    I don't mind the role that Rojas is in currently. Being able to go multi-inning relief is what the current MLB demands. We have found many of good starter toiling in long relief and he still gets the pressure of getting into and out of jams, like a starter. I don't think this was a piggyback situation. If it was, I would have expected SWR instead of Rojas.

    For all of Gaper's faults, I do believe he was the best bunter for the Twins last year.
  16. Western SD Fan
    They have moved games up. I've remembered that the Twins have moved games up to adjust to impending weather. I think it will matter whether they think there is any window tomorrow they can get the game in.

    Here's our bullpen report. Would have liked to see a double header just to see if a reliever would plunk Contreras. My money is on Adams since he went pretty far last night.
  18. Western SD Fan
    Bello looks like Boston's version of SWR. Seems like he cannot recover from mistakes, although it's not all his fault. The Boston infielders have reverted back to their Little League days.
  19. Western SD Fan
    Call stands! I figured that's what it would be no matter what the call was on the field. If the call was out, it likely would have stood as well.
  20. Western SD Fan
    That's one where you remember and if, someone like Larnach for example, blows up Connor Wong at the plate. It's not Wong's fault, but he should blame Contreras for the altercation. He is trying to write checks that he is not willing to pay. At least when Pierzynski was a jerk, he would back it up.
  21. Western SD Fan
    A little more height and he could have wrapped that one around Pesky's Pole.
  22. Western SD Fan
    Love the AB by Martin. Not HR hunting. His shift back to his Vanderbilt days are working. It really does look like the coaching staff is trying to work with some of these players tools rather than trying to make everyone a HR hitter. Under an old Martin swing, that swing is a line drive out.

    I wonder where Lance Barksdale is since he is the crew chief of this crew. Here's hoping she gets a few more assignments and moves up the pecking order to being a regular MLB ump!

    More positive news this morning! It looks like that Zoll is not as committed to old washed-up players that needed to be DFA'd as Falvey was. To bring back Taj Bradley, they DFA's Garcia from the bullpen. I had fully expected them to send down Rojas or Adams since he pitched last night and that is typically the easier move. It does look like LaTroy Hawkins's message is reverberating with the younger guys in the bullpen.
  25. Western SD Fan
    I guess we will see who will be off the roster tomorrow if Bradley comes back. Sounds like he is scheduled to pitch tomorrow. I would like to see Garcia be DFA'd. Adams was the only pitcher with options who came in tonight so he may get the short straw, but he does get the win!
