    How far can they go? Two playoff games plus three quarters of the third game, is about all, unfortunately. I feel bad for you all who are diehard Wolves fans. You don’t deserve the same crap that Vikings and Twins fans endure year after year.

    Couldn’t have scripted a more appropriate ending to this hellscape of a game: a candy-hop grounder to the third baseman for a 5-4-3 game-ending double play. (Added bonus: hit into by a player the Twins just traded for.)

    Easy flies and easy ground hops, all night long. Nothing difficult for KC, at all. Unbelievable.

    People depend on ‘schlubs’ like you — thank you!
  9. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Gee, oh. Urshela. (btw I like the guy)
  10. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Link? ?
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Morning radio?
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    almost like Mondesi tried to do that on purpose

    I was just about to ask the group: Have all the Twins games this year been this exciting?
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I prefer to emphasize the ‘me’ in melodrama

    Also, I guess I was looking forward to Alex Meyer and José Berríos off the top of my head but yeah the pitching pipeline has been extremely thin the past 10 or 5 years if that’s what you mean by most exciting in history.
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Internal, meaning inside the Twins front office?
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Exactly what I am getting at - thanks! Remove the 30-second carve out at a minimum. Replay was supposed to be for the egregious missed calls like the Armando Galarrago perfect game.
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Get rid of instant replay and bring back arguing and make up calls!!

    This is at least the third cortisone shot for the wrist for Kirilloff, if I am recalling. Best of luck to the kid.

    I love Sano but my epiphany on him came a few years ago, in a plate appearance against Chris Archer in fact. All of us had already seen the same streaky Sano by that time, either locked in or zoned out. Sano was in one of his slumps, and Archer worked him to 1-2, then 2-2. Then I thought “yup, here comes the high outside fastball waste pitch, followed by slider low and away on 3-2, for swing and a miss,” and... that’s what happened. I’ve only seen one game so far this season but I assume Sano still hasn’t changed much, otherwise this thread wouldn’t be here. I think Sano is fine, there’s nothing really “wrong” with him, but he just doesn’t see the pitch out of the pitcher’s hand as well as the average MLB-er. So it takes Sano that extra moment to recognize the spin, get his body in motion, and by that time, it’s too late. So, knowing all of this, he makes up his mind to swing a tiny bit earlier than he should (also accounting for all the check swings we have seen over the years). Anyway that’s just one idea.

    There have been various TD members here arguing that Twins might have to take a gamble on a low year, high AAV contract, to get one of these guys. And here it is! Correa has missed some time but he is the real deal in the field and at the plate and especially in the clubhouse, as we are learning. It’s gonna be fun!

    Just to fill in more context: Duran threw 115 innings in 2019 as a minor league starter (about 5 innings per start), he threw an unknown number of simulated innings in 2020, and was down to only 16 innings at triple A in 2021. Have the Twins announced an innings limit for Duran for 2022? Seems like there will be one, granted, not all innings are alike. Is 50 to 70 a good guess? That’s a light but okay number of innings for a typical big league reliever over a full season. As a starter, 50-70 innings won’t get you to the All Star break unless the starts were very short. The big league bullpen seems like the right place for Duran. I don’t see the point of shipping Duran to AAA right away.
