  1. Regarding general athleticism, here is a comment from the starting pitcher the Twins will be facing tonight, Joe Musgrove: From a 2019 profile. https://www.post-gazette.com/sports/pirates/2019/06/21/pittsburgh-pirates-joe-musgrove-offseason-workouts/stories/201906210024 It should be fun watching him pitch and field his position tonight.
  2. Joe Ryan is a water polo guy, and I am hoping and thinking that last night was a one-off bad outing.
  3. Who, Sano? or the fan who ran on the field? ?
  4. I can’t disagree. Hiring from the college ranks was called smart and forward-thinking, and they accepted all the praise when they announced the hire. So here’s the other side of the coin.
  5. Left in to take a beating… after an off day
  6. Honest to Dog this situation getting worse
  7. Yeah me too. I was thinking the same thing
  8. Cap letters usually reserved for good outcomes lol
  9. And the radio guys were just talking about Hosmer’s defense suffering
  10. I agree about the uniforms — don’t they have any tailors in San Diego? (ok read carefully, I set that on a tee—who’s the first who will take a whack at that)
  11. So they are showcasing Sano for a trade this weekend?
  12. Was there a home run that Ryan actually commanded? (yeah yeah I saw your edit
  13. Oh wait, ignore my too serious post above and let me post this instead lol
  14. Probably best to wait until after the series to spite the baseball gods? ? I’d argue that Taylor Rogers is doing fine overall. Definitely coming back down to earth after his hot start. His late June slump was probably a blessing for him, as it earned him a rest over the All Star break instead of having to lather up and pitch. They are certainly working him hard. A lot of his other struggles could be attributed to pitching back-to-back days, which any Twins fan could have told you…
  15. Lest anyone be conclusively proven right or wrong on the question of regular lineups, I think it would be an interesting exercise to go back to the start of 2019 and compare what those daily lineups looked like at the start of that season. /soapbox
  16. Should the Twins trade Brian Dozier, Eduardo Escobar, or Ryan Pressly. Should the Twins trade Nick Gordon and Stephen Gonsalves for Gerrit Cole. Should the Twins trade Alex Kirilloff and Trevor Larnach for Noah Syndergaard. Should the Twins trade Jose Berrios for Austin Martin and Simeon Woods-Richardson. Should the Twins trade Taylor Rogers for Chris Paddack and Emil Pagan. The soothseers commenting in this thread seem to say, "No" to a Correa trade (and I agree, however ask me again on Sept. 9 when my hindsight kicks in)
  17. Thanks for posting! This is one of those enduring questions, with random sampling playing a role and variables that can be argued for either side. For example, when a starting pitcher is physically fit and is “making his pitches” that day, so to speak, and is already a high quality starting pitcher to begin with, I think the third and fourth time through the order can actually favor the pitcher. The pitcher has that data on what the batter is doing and swinging at, on that particular day. what do you think?
