    Spot on. I have wondered if there's something about Sonny's pace or kismet that lulls the team to sleep when the Twins batters step to the plate. Is that even possible? Pablo gets a ton of run support, does he do something on the mound outside of pitching well that fires up the team? Just wondering.. there 'shouldn't' be a correlation, but..
  2. Patzky
    I'd say Royce Lewis availability will dictate a lot of how the roster looks, even more than Correa's (pretty sure he'll be ready.) The supporting cast looks (Farmer, Castro, Stevenson, Solano) like it will be making or breaking this team again, which isn't a horrible thing considering their success so far. I expect one of the rookies (Wallner, Julien, Kirilloff, Jeffers) to shine and one of the vets (Vasquez, Kepler, Polanco, Correa, Buxton) to tank. Best guess, Kirilloff comes up big and Buxton doesn't. But no Royce Lewis adds so much more pressure.. Also watch out for the trademark One Big Inning from potential game one starter Sonny Gray. If we can spot it and nip it in the bud (typically a borderline ball strike call is involved) we can mitigate. A disastrous game one that unexpectedly (avoidably) spirals out of control would be a deal breaker.. As Pablo showed last night those innings can show up at any time. And subbing in Stewart or Varland for a scuffling Duran needs to be a possibility..

    Those day night splits may be as much due to the opponent and the short turnaround as the lighting, as you indicated. My general impressions are that the team looks 'tired' on getaway days.. which are usually days.. no late night tv for the guys if they get a 3 pm start the next day.

    Twins batters: Don't hit the ball to Varsho. We already used up all our good juju against him for the season. 😊

    Cream Corn! (Someone was going to say it..)
  6. Patzky
    You got your wish!

    Didn't take long to get help, I'm glad they made the move. Larnach back up, Correa to IL eligible to return during the Colorado series.
  8. Patzky
    Right now the Twins have a depleted bench. If catching Houston is a possibility I'd love to replenish it with Larnach but I have a feeling Joey G is going to get the call. And Brock Stewart looks ready as ever.

    Iwl was "Keuchel is not our BP solution" and I thought "batting practice solution"!
  10. Patzky
    At least the pitching and hitting stunk simultaneously. Maybe this shows how you need sparkplugs like Solano and Castro in the lineup to get the big bat engine greased. Correa needs to sit at least until they get home. (But hope not much past that.)
  11. Patzky
    Again we have depth over top shelf pour. Obviously Sonny and Pablo 1-2 probably in that order (and hope Sonny doesn't have that one inning to taint the whole series) 3 could be Kenta, or Ryan.. maybe a stretch to Paddack or Varland.. even a further stretch to Bailey Ober or Keuchel. Let's how we don't have to stretch that far. Seven startees and two stars.
  12. Patzky
    Thanks Royals. It won't be long now.
  13. Patzky
    Started tight, ended easy. Just like.. we needed.

    You make it sound like Julien is susceptible to umpires with wide (not tall) strike zones. It would be interesting to match these stats with specific umpires as well as pitchers to see what conclusions there are. Earlier this year it was mentioned that the minor league callups had a great perception of the strike zone ostensibly because they knew they could appeal a given pitch. Obviously not an option at Target Field .
  15. Patzky
    Seems like Julien pulls a Mitch McConnell and freezes at the most inopportune times.
  16. Patzky
    You spelled months wrong.
  17. Patzky
    The Twins recipe for success lately outside Giolito has been to wait out the opposing starter and then attack the bullpen. Doesn't work against the Rays whose bullpen is foolproof.. no runs given up in 24 innings and counting. Hope they can hit Littell and get a big lead Tuesday.
  18. Patzky
    The unexpected but wonderful choice for Game 4.. is Chris Paddack.
  19. Patzky
    Depth vs nine can't miss guys. Sooner or later one will miss. I think we are well equipped to handle that. It's up to Rocco to recognize the who and when.
  20. Patzky
    So Dr says Gallo has been playing hurt.
  21. Patzky
    Well it's official. Gallo onto the IL and Kiriloff up.
  22. Patzky
    Make sure there are only two outs in playoff games!
  23. Patzky
    It's going to be (barring IL necessity for someone) Luplow or maybe Stevenson. Kirilloff will be here soon and Michael A Taylor not far behind.
  24. Patzky
    I was also surprised the Cleveland starter Williams came back. Maybe they played toss under the stands.
  25. Patzky
    Seems the author wasn't happy he started off the season in AAA and then wasn't happy he got sent back down after being effective in August. There were valid reasons for both decisions. I hope we see him in some capacity toward the end of September.
