    After today, the losing streak is ‘Ober’!

    Maybe instead of the 4 year, $73.5 million extension they gave Lopez, they should have waited until after this Nationals start and got him for more like 4/72!

    Byron Buxton playing center field will give Miranda an opportunity to DH now and then, for rest and a chance to either turn his mind off for a bit or chat with hitting coach between innings. Byron Buxton playing center field would also open a slot for Kirilloff or Wallner to DH against righties. Miranda, Wallner and Kirilloff being better bets than Taylor at the plate. At this point I’m thinking their magic date for putting Buxton in the field is May 2 in Chicago.

    I sometimes mention load management for guys like Taylor and Miranda. It’s not an entirely joking question. Miranda’s 9th inning result last night was unfortunate but it was just one at bat. I would not option him but it sure looks like he needs a day off or some time at DH.

    If the Sunday starter is still TBA, a bullpen game Sunday might be another option. Not sure of the details as far as who can be called up, Maeda’s status, etc, so that might not be practical. Just an idea.
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yup, quite a bad loss, wasn’t it.
  7. Hosken Bombo Disco
    That was a rhetorical question, right?
  8. Hosken Bombo Disco
    No way the Twins lose this. Have faith.

    Nobody joked that NHL players shouldn't be playing in kids flag football leagues? And you teed it up so nicely 🙂

    Blew a lead in the 9th and lost

    White Sox gonna White Sock, lol

    Derek Shelton's Pirates are 14-7 and temporarily in second place. Tyler Wells comes within one strike of recording his first win (Baltimore closer blew the save). But the Orioles won and are temporarily in second place in the AL East. Fun to see perennial lesser teams re-emerge, even if it's only for part of a season. Baltimore might have some staying power.

    No, don't. @RickOShea @RpR

    Arraez was in the WBC

    I would think with SWR struggling in St. Paul, that he is only here to provide long relief if Mahle gets in trouble, or eat a couple innings at the end if it's not close. Then send him back and call up Varland or Ober for Sunday's start. So glad to have Polanco back.

    You are right, Miranda did play a ton all spring—through an injury no less. It’s a case of ‘Load management for me, none for thee’ So you have Buxton, who they are giving a ton of rest to, managing his load, in order to keep him healthy and at his peak performance for the long season. Meanwhile, you have Miranda, who played all spring as you said, and has appeared in every regular season game and almost always in the field for all nine innings. What about load managing for Miranda so his performance doesn’t suffer?
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    You are right as well. Honestly, if we are facing righties this weekend, I would call up Kirilloff to DH right now. Drive him over from St. Paul and put him in the lineup. So you are replacing Taylor with Kirilloff if Buxton were decide it’s time for him to play center, which is also something that needs to happen soon anyway.
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Are we talking about Taylor being the team MVP, or the American League MVP? Looking at his past batting lines, I really don’t think he is capable of that level of play. Nothing against Taylor, he seems like a nice guy. The front office, beat writers, and Twins Daily writers I guess are seeing something that I am not seeing. I am looking forward to this.
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    If you think about it, this article is suggesting that Byron Buxton and Michael Taylor are interchangeable.
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I liked MadBum and wanted the Twins to sign him and am not afraid to say so. That was the free agent class with all the big starting pitcher names.
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Maeda has looked gassed coming off the mound, has already skipped a start due to fatigue, and now this. I'm glad he's ok. I did love the trade at the time. Also, maybe it's time to talk about Max Kepler. In the past tense. We saw the lack of hustle at the end Tuesday night, and today the Boston announcers said Kepler was getting the wave home in the 9th. (Either that, or Kepler did not pick up the stop sign from Watkins.) The Twins were still trailing by enough runs that I'm not sure the Boston cutoff man bothers to turn and make a throw. I don't know for sure. I do know that Kepler has looked disengaged for several years now. Once you lose that drive, I don't know how easy it is to get it back. I might be ready to use a platoon of Wallner-Garlick in right field. You lose some defense, at least on paper, but you get back that drive. There are not enough roster spots for platoons all over the field but that's the one I would try.

    also wanted to say anyone on the diamond could have shouted to Solano to go back and touch first. He had time. The batter was dogging it too. That play caught everyone sleeping, except for Enrique Hernandez who went to third.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Had to duck out early and just saw some highlights. That was the Christian Vazquez game from hell. Even with the high soft throw from Gordon, I think they had the runner out at home. Griffin Jax made a mental error not covering third, add that to the many other mistakes. Luckily there’s always a game tomorrow.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Maybe this will wake Kepler up!
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    They pulled Sale instead of giving him one more batter? lol
