  1. Under the same constraints the Twins faced. For example, the 2020 minor league season was cancelled for all teams, not just the Twins.
  2. It is a huge concern. Even in 2019, they were down to two starting pitchers by the end. How deep into the postseason did they think they would go with only two starters!
  3. Ohtani having an MVP season. That said, when Ohtani is in the lineup as a starting pitcher who also bats in American League games, that would seem to put the Angels at a disadvantage once Ohtani is taken from the game. And particularly so, in games Ohtani is removed from the game early. That said, take a look at this game last night, when Ohtani did not make it out of the first inning as a starting pitcher. In Yankee Stadium, no less. https://www.mlb.com/gameday/angels-vs-yankees/2021/06/30/633484#game_state=final,lock_state=final,game_tab=box,game=633484
  4. Ohtani having an MVP-type season as a true two-way ballplayer.
  5. Nick Gordon at shortstop sighting is it too late to get Gordon to play all nine positions tonight??!
  6. We need someone who will ride these players hard!
  7. The Brewers scored 15 unanswered runs today after the Cubs scored 7 in the top of the first, and now Atlanta has scored 20 unanswered runs against the Mets tonight. So I’m thinking the Twins will win this game by a score of 26-8 or something
  8. Gladden: Nobody warming in the bullpen yet. [ camera cuts to Shoemaker warming in the bullpen ]
  9. Can someone point me directly to where the game-by-game or even pitch-to-pitch spin rates are located? @jorgenswest @Vanimal46 Maeda's four-seam spin rates have actually been decreasing by small amounts, on a year-by-year basis. Personally I could attribute that to aging.
  10. I am still disappointed that the Twins cancelled Saturday’s game so that “Happ can pitch Sunday and we will send out Maeda to pitch Monday in Chicago, instead.” Well apparently Chicago heard about this, and countered with their own chess move tactics by cancelling the Monday game Maeda was preparing for, and then letting the grounds crew run out and interrupt Maeda in the third inning last night. Just play the game! If you want to back him up until Monday, just back him up. If he’s hurt, put him on the IL. Don’t turn around and say the weather was bad or all the days off affected him or whatnot. The Twins are making their own bad luck, and not just on the field, and before 2022 arrives the whole org needs to return to fundamentals!
  11. Suddenly a ballgame? Now just need the bullpen to hold them dow——
  12. Nitpick: the 90s teams were known as solid fundamentally, but utterly lacking talent
  13. Maeda looked like he had just finished a 9 inning marathon or a 15-round fight with Ali
  14. Sky photos are always favorites of mine, and the pic never does it justice
  15. Maybe the Twins will say it was the rainout Saturday that knocked him off his rhythm?
  16. I think Jim Bouton wrote a book about Maeda’s start tonight
