    I would think most people would have Arraez over Gordon?

    surprised... skeptical? ...unprepared?

    I agree about the hands. Looks like his habit of recocking the hands after the pitch has been thrown isn’t helping him. I don’t know if Sano has good pitch recognition anyway. Isn’t there a vision test that teams can ask players to take? Just so many check swings tells me he doesn’t interpret the spin on breaking pitches until too late. Or it could just be lack of mental focus. I do think there’s more to it than that noisy swing. I still think he can be a streaky but decent player and hitter. Clean up his swing, preparation, focus, maturity, all the things we constantly talk about, just kind of comes and goes with him.

    I’m disappointed to see Kirilloff back. My impression is that he is rushing it.
  5. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yep, that’s about where I’m at, too

    Re Kirilloff: Someone updated on an earlier minor league thread that it was his wrist again. Didn’t hear how he re-aggravated it. Someone also said Kirilloff took a cortisone shot and wants to play again as soon as possible. That seems unwise to me, given how we saw Cruz take longer with his wrist than we expected (and heck with his recent PAs it might still be nagging him) and Buxton not playing for several days now. But anyway. Edit: Seth beat me to it. I’m still of the opinion Kirilloff should take it slow.

    It would be fun to know if Gonzalez used his cheat card to position himself on that Hamilton ball, or if someone on the bench whistled out to him, (or maybe he was just lucky). In any case, I loved seeing what looked like a sure leadoff hit turn into an out when they switched from the home plate camera to the outfield. It reminded me of ... wait for it ... when Alex Gordon started shifting on Mauer shallow down the left field line (because Joe Mauer night, KC vs Twins, etc)

    I’m pretty sure I saw Buxton spitting sunflower seeds at one point. Those things can be hard on your mouth too, but not like... cancer. Not sure what he does from game to game. Nicotine is a hard habit to break.

    Aha here was mine: Basically, you selected nine player cards, put them in order and that was your lineup, and tucked them in those plastic sleeves. Then flicked the spinner, wheel of fortune style. Good times! Very hitter-focused, now that I think about it.

    I never played Strat-O but there was a game with round cards and spinners that I somehow got my hands on. Can’t think of the name and don’t see any pictures of it. Then, my dad told me to go outside, and I drew a box on the side of the garage and pretended to be a Minnesota Twin pitching against Robin Yount, Paul Molitor, and the rest of the Brew Crew. But then I went back indoors eventually.
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Exactly what I thought !
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    When Cruz comes back I think they will do the old “pitch & ditch” with Littell, if Littell pitches a couple innings they’ll send him down right after (trying to think of a catchy name for it) unless they really need a fresh arm, and they call up a pitcher, if Cruz isn’t ready. Garver still sounds like 4-5 days minimum, at least.

    Looks like his awful streak didn’t last as long as I remember it lasting. Thanks for the correction. His whip in Aug-Sept was pretty ordinary but he did prevent runs from scoring.

    In 2017 Rogers was lights-out until about the All Star break, then couldn’t get anybody out. I’m not concerned about Rogers per se, but that other guys start getting high leverage appearances too (assuming the offense comes back to earth).
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Thank you for your perspective. Yes let’s hope Graterol caught this early enough for rest to work. I like the illustrations.

    As long as you are offering... I’m also most interested in #1

    On WCCO just now: Atteberry: Why do fans need to question if this is sustainable? Why can’t they just enjoy this? Me: I’m pretty sure fans can do both those things at the same time. Levine: Cruz, Garver have been out, Sano just returned, I don’t think this team has reached its true potential yet. Me: ...

    Scoop!!

    It’s ok about the absolutely terrible column this week, Randball’s Stu. By the way, somewhere on my computer there is a half-finished story about Jake Goodorizzi you can have, if you are ever in a pinch again.

    I’m not scoffing at the idea of productive outs, but I’m not bothered that Kep didn’t advance the runner there. Yes, it would have been nice, sure. Twins fans have endured 25 years of “move ‘em over, get ‘em in” ... “play for a run, lose by a run” style of baseball. I like this version better!
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I liked her non-confrontational version of the question better. Granted, there might have been a time in the near past when “what the hell are you doing out there” would have been an honest question for the manager and front office, but not now
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    This Twins team has been very good. But they will have to face some adversity sooner or later. No time like the present, with good weather ahead and a good Angels team coming in.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Glad to see Cron’s OPS back up among the team leaders. Great pickup, and Marwin called him “the goalkeeper” after the game. First base defense is very underrated in my opinion and Cron is playing it just as well as Mauer was; which is to say, at a gold glove level.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    This game wasn’t as close as the score indicated Four home runs, and at least four near-misses, including the first two batters of the game. Keep this up and Target Field will be rockin this summer!

    First paragraph: Yes I believe it is. Second paragraph: speak for yourself
