  1. For me it was better just because I continued to watch Twins games right to the end of the season unlike last year when I quit watching around September 15th. I like the hustle of Keaschel, Jenkins, Emma and Clemens to name a few.
  2. This may be a small point but you have to keep at least one challenge into the later innings. How many games are the Twins out of challenges by the 5th or 6th inning. There has to be some kind of plan using the challenges by both batters and catchers. Too many times the Twins are using and losing in situations that don't warrant it.
  3. I think one of the benefits of an opener is the second pitcher, who really is the starter like Prielipp, faces the lower half of the order his third time around rather than the top of the order. Of course, this is assuming he's pitching decent.
  4. We are still alive in the Wild Card Race. I'm not giving up with this bunch until they are eliminated. Should be a very interesting September!
  5. It would be great to see Joe Ryan back around Labor Day to get 2 or 3 starts down the stretch, If healthy that would be a tremendous help.
  6. I know everyone is pretty aggravated after yesterday's loss, but the main thing I see is lack of hustle which reminds me of last year at this time. Buxton doesn't run hard on the ground ball double play ball in the first inning. Also, I'm not a fan of jogging to first base even on a single like Bell does. No idea what Martin was doing on the fly ball to left in the 8th. That looked pretty routine to me,
  7. They can't have Caratini and Gray in the lineup together, too many automatic outs. I agree with everyone else that both Jenkins and Culpepper should be called up immediately. I'm sure this team would welcome 2 young talents to help.
  8. I look at it this way, the Twins are playing meaningful games in August which has to be a surprise to most if not all Twin fans. If they can stay in the race until mid-September when they host the Indians followed by the Yankees would be fantastic. I think this team has something about it that will keep them in the race till then.
  9. I agree with this sentiment, sign Jeffers to a long term contract to show that you are in it to win!
  10. Great Win last night. Despite the mistakes and relievers, this team is really fun to watch. Roden looks like a Keeper. Great AB!
  11. It is great seeing this team play good. I see a lot of criticism but it looks to me that everyone is hustling and giving it their best. I think Shelton is doing a fantastic job! Need the bullpen to step up a little more this coming week to have at least go 4-2 and get close to 500.
  12. So much fun watching this team play! Outman and Caratini look overmatched against average pitching.
