    But now I have to get off his back for a week at least . Nothing personal. I just didn’t like the signing and direction of the roster construction.
  2. Over The Hill Again
    Yeah, I did call that, I guess.
  3. Over The Hill Again
    I dunno, maybe a good spot for a DH to, you know, actually hit?
  4. Over The Hill Again
    As bad as day for Witt that I can recall….
  5. Over The Hill Again
    Game outcome aside, I was encouraged by Prielip. Real progress. We will debate the quick hook. It’s not hard to picture a bright future for him. Too bad this franchise surrounds him with virtually nothing.
  6. Over The Hill Again
    Not a good thing when you’re desperately hoping to split a home series against the last place team.
  7. Over The Hill Again
    This team obviously has lots of issues, but I hope being held hostage by “The Royce Lewis” conundrum isn’t one of them for much longer. Finding a suitable home for him at 3rd, 2nd, 1st base, or DH is secondary to establishing whether or not he’s actually a big league hitter. Which is seriously in question.
  8. Over The Hill Again
    Um, not the DP obviously
  9. Over The Hill Again
    I’ll take it. Sometimes it’s the small things…..
  10. Over The Hill Again
    Through 40% of the season and the fact that Bell is not any kind of asset is the least surprising thing to me. Not changing my mind about the defective approach to roster construction.
  11. Over The Hill Again
    I’m hoping for the best. All things equal, I like the energy he can bring and the Twins are a better/more entertaining team when he’s”on”. Will he be? What, if any , position will he be allowed to settle into? Who knows; I don’t think a handful of at bats at AAA changed anything. But the Twins need to find out quickly if Lewis has a future here.
  12. Over The Hill Again
    Zebby battled. I’ll take it.
  13. Over The Hill Again
    Now we’re having fun.
  14. Over The Hill Again
    Yeah I sure am glad he wasn’t DFA’d in the middle of the 2nd inning tonight.
  15. Over The Hill Again
    Awesome K! I hold my breath every time Witt bats against us…..
  16. Over The Hill Again
    Fedko for Outman? Yes please.
  17. Over The Hill Again
    Banda and Gomez. I liked the move to get Banda, I think he’s actually one of the better arms in the BP. After a brutal stretch in April he’s settled in. Last night was cruising but seemed to lose it after that infield “hit” where the off target throw actually would have beat the runner. Gomez - l’m not sure what to make of him; he’s been more effective than I would have guessed. Must have some deception in his delivery or release point because last night he was getting away with pitches that looked pretty hittable. But I’ll take it
  18. Over The Hill Again
    A shame on that infield “hit”. The throw beat the runner. It was a good scoop but the throw obviously wasn’t. Banda lost it after that.
  19. Over The Hill Again
    No one is (credibly) advocating to give up on Lewis. But “mashing” for a week at AAA doesn’t change the fact he’s largely been lost at the plate for most of the past 2 seasons. Plus I would expect a player with over 1,000 at bats in the majors to be able to take advantage of inferior minor league pitching. He needs to settle into that reality of being in the minors, and let’s see where his head is at in a month or so, or longer. I don’t know really how resistant he is to a position change, or if that even matters. He’d have to sustain success at AAA for quite a while to force his way back into the Twins lineup. And if the whole process ends up simply increasing his trade value, so be it. I don’t wish any ill will on Lewis, but I don’t want the Twins to be further held hostage by his situation.

    Am I pannicked? Not really. More like fatigued. I know that following Twins prospects development isn't ever a "straight line", but I'm getting queasy from the roller coaster.
  21. Over The Hill Again
    Nasty
  22. Over The Hill Again
    Like others I’m moderately surprised that the Twins are (mathematically) relevant at Memorial Day. So far, I’m enjoying this season more than I would have thought. My perception is that Shelton mostly pulls the right levers (given what the FO gives him to work with) and the team may have a tendency to more aggressive on the base paths. Overall more entertaining than I would have guessed. FWIW I expect things to normalize and other Central teams to pick it up. Count me in the minority I guess of people not wanting to see Ryan get traded.

    Can we be done with Topa now? His WHIP is hovering around 2.00.
  25. Over The Hill Again
    Topa. Topacabana.
