  1. Bazardo is pitching. I looked at the screen and thought I saw “Baddoo” instead
  2. i hope you are right. The lefty-on-lefty missile HR concerns me.
  3. There’s a good lineup in there somewhere. Pitching is average. But there’s something else intangible missing.
  4. I like Thielbar (honest), and I love the local angles, but I don’t think he makes it to June. A lot of folks on this site who might not have brought him north out of spring training.
  5. Heads up to anyone in the Hudson-Stillwater area: There’s an Alex Verdugo home run ball coming your way in another few minutes or so.
  6. It’s raining in Minneapolis where I was a little bit ago. Love these 7-inning doubleheader games. It should have started raining back in the middle of the 3rd inning, when this became an official game.
  7. The bad news is, except for Donaldson and Cruz, our lineup is terrible. The good news is they are all under team control for several more years.
  8. They will say, “While everyone knows the Twins because of their 31-game losing streak in the playoffs, here’s another bit of interesting trivia you probably don’t know...”
  9. Speaking of Jaime Garcia, good article here about his struggles growing up as a quiet kid, and his post-baseball missionary work in Mexico. https://sportsspectrum.com/sport/baseball/2020/06/11/pitcher-jaime-garcia-shares-gospel-water-mission/
  10. I am preparing to be bewildered...
  11. I agree — Dobnak will be coming off the books about that time, so they’ll have plenty of money
  12. I liked the idea of keeping a long guy in the game if he’s warmed up, and effective. Instead of bringing in a string of guys cold off the bench until one of them implodes.
  13. I am sorry about your tap and die set. Sometimes I think inanimate objects are sentient, and the Craftsman discovered that a cheap metric was its replacement, and so the Craftsman died of a broken heart. And they definitely do not manufacture things the way they used to. After a couple rounds of brand new cookware, bought from low end and high end sellers, I eventually went back and dug out my mother’s old set and couldn’t be happier. Made well, gets used all the time, and still going strong.
  14. You’d think Lo Duca would do his homework before going off like that...
  15. Red Sox were, or are, on a 6-game Win streak. I liked the idea of Happ starting today, and Dobnak entering the game after any rain delay. As someone upthread said, this might not be the last time a game is cancelled for these reasons. I’m going to guess there is a 7-inning double header Thurs.
  16. Yes, let’s try better to toe that line.
  17. Right. If not for the stupid rule where the other team gets to start the inning with a runner on second...
  18. To bring you up to speed: The Twins would be undefeated, if not for the games when the other team scored more runs.
  19. Welp. Supposed to rain and snow tomorrow, so...
  20. I’m all for it. I see the same as you. Rocco seems to have gotten much more conventional with his player usage in 2021 than in 2019. For example, bullpen. In 2019 he mixed and matched according to game situation, Rogers, Hildenberger, Blake Parker were the guys early in the season. But this year it looks like he’s going with the closer role, and also the more conventional “7th inning” and “8th inning” guys as well. That said, I’d bet someone else gets the next save opportunity.
  21. I was hoping someone would point that out It giveth, it taketh away. I would like to see Cruz advance to second base (which he would have, this time) before considering the substitution. The next batter was hit by pitch. But the next batter is just as likely to hit into a ground ball force out at second, completely wasting the substition.
