    Yah a cocky closer comes with the heat on 3-2 (or whatever is their bread & butter pitch; cutter for Mariano Rivera)
  2. Hosken Bombo Disco
    six four three (to quote Skip Caray)

    Up comes falafel in an RBI situation

    Extremely uncompetitive AB. What happened to those nice flat Kepler swings and barrels generating so much back spin?
  5. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I just don’t like that pitch call to Ibanez on the sac fly. Waving at sliders low and away, then a hard one up in the strike zone, catching too much of the zone.
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I like Staskak, but he’s still a season or two from being ready to take out of the oven.
  7. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Only the best for you our game thread MVP
  8. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Lotsa hard contact, but only 1 run. I just said in another thread that starters need to pitch longer into games. Not sure about this one. Thorpe looked cooked.

    C’mon Thorpsie

    An 8-inning start last night allows Texas to go to the bullpen early tonight Just sayin’
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Getting results tonight, but also way too much hard contact tonight
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Agree. Although next time a starting pitcher gives up a couple runs in the 7th, someone is bound to say Told you So. (not naming names ) But one more inning, here and there, from a starter, will provide some benefit. Many things need to be done. Leaving a starter in for another inning or another batter is going to have to be part of the, *ahem*, process, of getting the bullpen back on its feet and salvaging this season.

    A World Series run would be worth keeping both Buxton and Berrios, even if they walk in free agency. I agree, no guarantee that that happens, even if they keep them. I think it’s a gamble they have to take. However, they need to fix the pitching, quick. If they trade Buxton, that feels like giving up, and they might as well trade Donaldson and a couple of these other guys too, and I think it becomes a cascade into mediocrity at that point. Good teams don’t sell off their talent every three years. Just my opinions.
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    This is the Buxton we’ve been waiting for. I think they need to stay the course with Buxton the next two years. Player value can be calculated, but a World Series run would bring an amount of good publicity and good will that cannot be calculated.
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I think part of the solution, as @ToddlerHarmon gets at, is letting Maeda and Berrios pitch deeper into games. Happ, Dobnak and Pineda if they are breezing.
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Not sure what they will do, but Kirilloff looks to be the first baseman of the future—and of the present.
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I don’t think Berrios struggled. Not at all. One mistake pitch in six innings in a game in which the offense bats did their jobs. The Rodney Dangerfied of the Twins rotation! Enjoy him while you still can. Free agency beckons.
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Embarrassing, sure, but as Dan Hayes responded in a comment in The Athletic, same thing has happened to Girardi this year as well. Rocco said he was going out to make a change, then got caught up in his conversation with Berrios, who told him he wanted to stay in. Not a good sign that he forgot why he went out there, or had a wavering conviction about whether a pitching change was necessary, or didn’t communicate with Wes Johnson about the earlier trip. Managers make dumb mistakes too.
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I don’t understand what is meant by process. Kirilloff just looks like a natural hitter. He has always sprayed the ball and hit line drives. The metrics you describe in the article look more like just another way of describing that. I don’t think there’s any outside process happening here. Give him at bats, coach him as needed, get him experience.
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Baddoo has cooled off, and Detroit is still a 100 loss team. The knee jerk thing would be for Detroit to give up on him now, now that they have him, and he’s still in his early 20s (Baddoo is younger than Kirilloff) and still developing.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I flinched when I saw Buxton run through first base.... I don't want him to get hurt, but I don't want him to turn off the faucet either. Can we dream on getting a 150-game season from him??
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Great game! Twins win* the series two games to one! * According to Pythagorean W-L record
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    wow this guy is not going to make it out of the 1st
