    The Polanco Solano show needs to be a part of the leadoff order in 2024. No question they can set the table and sometimes clear it. Health issues are always a specter but a batting order in 24 of.. 1b Solano/Kirilloff 2b Polanco/Julien 3b Lewis/Polanco LF Wallner SS Correa DH Julien/Kirilloff/Buxton/Solano CF Martin/Buxton/Taylor RF Kepler/Martin C Jeffers/Vazquez is nothing to sneeze at. I'd keep Willi Castro around and maybe even Jordan Luplow until Emmanuel Rodriguez or Brooks Lee is ready.

    Grateful Tampa 1) won and 2) gave Cleveland's bullpen a bit of a workout

    Solanooooo

    In another twist the Marlins cut Jorge Lopez and the Orioles just reacquainted themselves with him.

    We could always show up and push them off the base with the tag. :) We'll always have that, Gant take it away.

    He's batting seventh tonight.

    There have been very few 'laughers' but to channel Tito Francona plenty of 'cryers'.
  8. Patzky
    So we traded unexpectedly volatile for predictably volatile..

    After the big league game a little good cheer is very welcome.

    FWIW the Angels just dumped a lot of players including Giolito and Renfroe.

    The team is a healthy mix of veterans and rookies.. and they're finally getting literally healthy. I don't want to put all the eggs in a couple baskets but if Brock Stewart.and Alex Kirilloff can return at 90 percent of what they were, I think we're ready to go..
  12. Patzky
    Wonder if we'll see Louie Varland up?

    "The seventh and eighth innings brought some minimal drama, but at the end of the day Keuchel had pitched four scoreless innings, and kept the Twins in the game." There were more heroes than goats today, just enough to get the W. Rocco's pinch hitting shell game with Vazquez was embarrassing to witness but he handled the bullpen flawlessly. Keuchel, Kepler, Taylor.. a different hero every day..
  14. Patzky
    I think he absolutely needs to be a consideration as part of the starting rotation. Paddack and Varland are wild card in the mix.. even if Kenta comes back, the team will likely still look for a top tier pitcher. Nola? Snell?

    I think what the OP is getting at is that while Edgar Martinez killed the Twins (but more so the Angels and Athletics due to familiarity) Magglio Ordonez probably kept Twins fans up at night in a way Edgar never did.

    Well today the umps were as culpable as the weather. Not enjoyable but is what it is.
  17. Patzky
    There is plenty of culpability. I'd have loved to see another inning from Kenta but in those conditions I don't think it would have been wise.
  18. Patzky
    I will stand in line to bash Rocco (and plenty of batters are culpable today too despite scoring seven) but let's see, Ortega is unavailable and Winder is persona non grata. Floro also likely to stay sitting. Ok it's hot so you pull Kenta. Who's left? Maybe you didn't plan to cough up a three run lead but lets say the game went 12 or 13 innings. Do you put Keuchel or Sonny out there and call up Ryan to take their place in the rotation? Why didn't they make plans and bus someone out while sending Ortega down? A shaky Duran asked to throw two innings in 110 degree heat seems a poor choice.. and The emergency pitcher Luplow was already out of the game. Things you think about when you're not the manager, sigh..
  19. Patzky
    Time to put on the Dodgers cap and take off the Duran jersey. 😡

    Simply putting the ball in play was demonstrated with great aplomb by Milwaukee last night. In case 100 year was too much for the boys to fathom.

    I agree with the 'Do Not Try Stupid Things' but is the corollary 'Hit It To Buxton And Make Him Run Around'?

    He's playing chess while we're building rockets.
  23. Patzky
    Because of the expectations they cannot be a surprise but they are certainly capable of being a disappointment.. which plays right into psychology of the Minnesota Professional Sports Fan.
  24. Patzky
    I like the power but I am more pleased that while he does strike out, he does not squander scoring opportunities at the rate other Twins seem to. When Taylor kicks off an inning by getting on base, good things usually happen.
