    Fear not! Falvey’s software simulations do predict a Twins 3-run home run happening at some point later this season.
  2. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The article may be satire, but I know FOR A FACT that the Twins bullpen is not using STRIKEOUT BUTTER when they should be

    The starter was left in too long? He pitched five and a third. Sorry, Mike, I will have this conversation with you all day, at least for today's game. I was listening on the radio. Sounded like Pineda wanted to stay in. After a game yesterday of 4.1 innings from the bullpen (two innings from Duffey and Colome). Now Rogers is burned up for tomorrow. Moves the other guys forward in the line. Multiple innings from the bullpen, every single night. It all compounds. Let a starter pitch, for crying out loud, maybe something interesting happens today and Pineda works out of it, and then pitches a quick scoreless seventh, and the guys come to bat in the top of the 8th with some vigor, Kepler's home run ties the game, Robles and Rogers still fresh for the bottom of the eighth. I mean, honest question? How much worse can it get to leave a starting pitcher in a game that he does not want to come out of, just once? (none of this is meant to be taken personally)

    And that portrait on the back wall? can’t tell for sure, but thats either a picture of Bill Veeck, Shoeless Joe Jackson, or Tony LaRussa...
  5. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Not a trick question; he has pitched in six games in his career
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Can he pitch in late blowout situations?
  7. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Welp, only 1 of 2 inherited runners scored, coulda ben worse
  8. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Rocco has indeed pulled Pineda in the sixth LOL we should wish to see such urgency as yours in the front office or the manager’s corner of the dugout
  9. Hosken Bombo Disco
    We’re still on for lunch tomorrow, correct?

    Like I asked other poster, could you manufacture baseballs so that pitchers have a couple less MPH on their fastballs? (assuming that would make them easier to hit and put once play) legitimately do not know
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Another question. Could the make the ball “less tight” to take some MPH off of pitches? easier to hit, and keep the ball in the park more?
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Cruz reached on a catcher’s interference, and got to second on a groundout? unfortunately the Twins could not move him to third on a passed ball and bring him in with a balk
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The advanced analytics are necessary in today’s game, but not sufficient. Baseball still requires tobacco and spit. This team doesn’t have enough of it.
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    After I commented, I noticed the poster @twinbythebayhad circled back to that!
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Thanks for doing the legwork, but I am another who thinks you are discounting the small samples and the inherited runners scoring charged to the starter. Letting starters pitch into games longer has to be part of the solution if anything is to become of the 2021 season. It’s not the whole solution, but it’s part of it. For example, as awful as the first two innings were for him, I think Maeda settled down nicely (an old school expression forgive me) and could have pitched another inning last night.
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I guess the pushback would be: what would they say? Is it the whole team that needs changing? I’d argue no. Guys like Buxton or Donaldson getting in the face of our bullpen pitchers seems a little off key. I mean, the bullpen guys already seem intimidated enough by opposing batters, no need for our own batters to shatter them completely
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Rortvedt really seemed to struggle catching Maeda and Berrios, not on the same page with either, though I did notice a fist bump between Maeda and Rortvedt last night when Kepler robbed Abreu to end the third. Small victories I guess. Maeda recovered and retired the last nine he faced. Maeda might have had another inning in him? Rocco likes to turn it over to the ‘pen, as we all know. I guess it wouldn’t have mattered. I am going to assume Rocco, Derek and Thad are all kind of tied at the hip and in lockstep regarding the bullpen and pitcher usage.

    ‘97 Mariners were bad

  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Didn’t even have time to type something witty, between the error and the groundout
