    You keep saying this. I think the Twins match up much better against the Yankees than the Astros. At least as far as the Twins batters vs the opponents pitching.
  2. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I’ve seen... closer plays at the plate.
  3. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I can’t believe there aren’t more voices on Twins Daily simply saying, “enjoy the ride.” It’s almost like fans feel entitled to all the improbable come-from-behind victories, but the close losses are never acceptable.

    The value of infield defense was displayed in two plays last night. The contrast was a ground ball past Ramirez that started the two-out rally for the Twins in the 4th, and the ground ball that Cron dived for and converted into a double play in the 8th. I don’t know if Sano or Garver makes that play.
  5. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Agree, if this wasn’t the year to make a deadline deal, then there never, ever will be.
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Disagree. The bullpen is plenty rested, so no one “needs” to be sent down for a fresh arm. And Larnach should post some good numbers in AA before even being considered. That probably means next season, not this season.

    I’m mixed on Smeltzer getting another start. It wasn’t just the third time through the order. He was getting hit hard all night.

    The Twins are the better team. Maybe Cleveland draws a split this series but I feel there’s a better chance than not that Twins will draw away here the next few weeks. The Twins pitching does concern me, however. I actually expect Cleveland to keep emphasizing the small ball approach this series. They are surprisingly old school. Watch for Tito to spit tobacco, adjust his cup, and call for a lot of sac bunts, against a Twins team that scores in bunches. God I do not miss that “brand of baseball”

    I’m just glad Rocco lobbied to bring in Romo at this point.

    When Clayton Kershaw developed biceps tendinitis early last season, the LA Times put together a similar article with a list of other players who had also had this. Kershaw was out for about — yep— 22 days (but 30 days between starts). https://www.latimes.com/sports/dodgers/la-sp-dodgers-dugout-kershaw-20180507-story.html?_amp=true
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    yeah.... something is probably bothering him somewhere, at this point in the season.
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Well, Perez was my “pick to click” for the last couple months. His last few starts weren’t horrible, until today. The team can decide if it’s time to move him to the bullpen once Pineda returns and all five are healthy, unless they want to skip his start next week and use Smeltzer in Texas. No, he’s not being DFA’d.

    Do you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in the Beta Quadrant?
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I did actually mention that scene, but I edited it out and it did not make the final version of my post...

    I wish Tarantino's movies hadn't gotten so gory. I'd have seen them all, otherwise. I like being challenged, but that's just not my cup of tea. The scene down in the tavern of Inglourious Basterds.. never sat through anything as tense as that. Rewriting the ending of WWII. Brilliant. That whole movie I remember being tense, mostly fun and brilliant. But the nazi-scalping.. that could have happened off camera. Too many reasons for me. Maybe it did happen off camera, I don't know, because I turned my eyes away when that stuff was happening. I bought the disc right after that but never watched it. Maybe it's time to circle back to that one, and some of his others. I am definitely planning a trip to see his new one based on the comments here.

    I’ve noticed a lot of complaining about the complainers. Complaining is part of being a fan for some of us. I’d say 90+ percent of us who are complaining are all in on winning this thing.

    1. Find your target 2. Find your silliness 3. Let it loose
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    oooo that’s not good.
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I can imagine the conversation on the mound at the start of the ninth. “Hi I’m Jason. I’m the catcher for the Minnesota Twins, as you can probably tell, with all this gear I have on! Anyway, it’s good to meet you—oh here comes the umpire. Quickly, we use 1 for fastball, 2 for curve, 3 for change up. Pretty standard stuff. Oh, just out of curiosity, do you even throw a change?”
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    No, it wasn’t the package.
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    They could be worth more, or they could be worth less. (With the usual caveat that we are talking about people so obviously we wish them well.) Do you remember when Pittsburgh was shopping Gerrit Cole? And who the Twins better prospects were at that time? Is that a trade you would try to negotiate in hindsight?
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    If GMs cannot agree on what “fair” means here at the deadline, they are not likely to agree in the offseason either.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I agree with this, and part of it must be because the published prospect values we see on sites like Fangraphs are sometimes very different from the values teams keep internally.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I’m not holding my breath. It feels to me like they are afraid of a trade failing, or that the player they trade away will play well somewhere else. News flash: all of Larnach, Kirilloff and Rooker will make the majors, and probably hit well too. However, not all of them will hold down a Twins corner outfield starting job at the same time. Maybe the long game is that hoarding prospects is the way to win, even if some of them are left too long on the vine. But we’ve seen teams win by trading prospects, too.

    Not quite how you described them in the original write-up
