  1. Seems like Julien pulls a Mitch McConnell and freezes at the most inopportune times.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. I was also surprised the Cleveland starter Williams came back. Maybe they played toss under the stands.
  5. 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.
  6. Probably an hour plus rain delay made it inevitable. I was surprised he came back out for the 4th.
  7. 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.
  8. Grateful Tampa 1) won and 2) gave Cleveland's bullpen a bit of a workout
  9. In another twist the Marlins cut Jorge Lopez and the Orioles just reacquainted themselves with him.
  10. We could always show up and push them off the base with the tag. :) We'll always have that, Gant take it away.
  11. There have been very few 'laughers' but to channel Tito Francona plenty of 'cryers'.
  12. So we traded unexpectedly volatile for predictably volatile..
  13. FWIW the Angels just dumped a lot of players including Giolito and Renfroe.
  14. 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..
  15. "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..
  16. 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?
  17. 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.
  18. Well today the umps were as culpable as the weather. Not enjoyable but is what it is.
  19. 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.
  20. 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..
