    Gotta admire the cameraman still tracking that De La Cruz home run through space

    Wait, what just happened
  3. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Welp, lost him, but got that first strike on a swing and miss

    Big at bat here. India takes more pitches than any pitcher in the game—can get ahead 0-1

    Also didn’t grab-ass with the opposition like they do now, (at least in the beginning(

    Guy hasn’t faced live pitching in a month, and.. Through him a change-up over the inside half!

    No. and this has been another installment of, ‘Simple Answers to Simple Questions”

    So the Detroit Tigers run out a opener/primary, and have a perfecto going against the O’s through six. I don’t have Tigers Perfect Game on my 2024 Bingo card, but I do have ‘Twins finish 4th place in the Central’ on a corner square, so curious to see how this all turns out …. not that I’m cheering for that. but who knew it might be an outside possibility heading into the final two weeks.

    Also, the Red Sox are giving the Yankees fits tonight

    I dunno, the Reds may be mediocre like most other teams, but it feels like they will actually put up a fight and not be pushovers. They have not announced starters for Saturday or Sunday. I wonder if that's because they are having rotations issues? or if their manager will try to use the bullpen to throw off Rocco's platooning. I know Hunter Greene is on the IL--having a great year and would have been fun to see him.

    I'm not seeing that one.

    That may be home town bias, based on all the comments I have read about Santana recently not making certain plays or me seeing him miss a couple scoops at first with my own eyes. Either way, I digress.

    I was wondering if someone would bring this up. Miranda has great splits against lefties in the minors. Do you really think Miranda would struggle against lefties with regular playing time and a regular role? I am not opposed to your suggestion to put Miranda at 1B full time, which would take away Julien’s potential at bats as a 1B. I don’t have a good read on either one’s glove or footwork at first?
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Not sure why TwinsDaily pushed this so hard? I have no problem having Julien as a DH or pinch hitter. There can be a role for that especially in a playoff series. I think, much like Miguel Sano, Julien is who he is at this point, a high exit velo guy who is prone to streakiness and may even be able to carve out a role as first baseman for a while. A Miranda/Julien platoon at 1B/DH seems like a simple in-house replacement or even upgrade from Santana next year.. I was just typing out the same thing. 🙂
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    That is looking more and more true, unfortunately. Doesn’t he have a cutter? Maybe make that his bread and butter pitch & save the true four seam for special moments. As long as we win Pablo’s and Ober’s starts we should be good.
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I like that Durán has an actual save chance here. Very old fashioned but whatever.
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    lol

    Calling it: Royce does something here
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    What else are buttons for? 🙂
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    ok well that is an impossible ask. Anyway, the wild card series is probably going to line up Game 1 Ober and then Game 2 Lopez. (but maybe not; still time for shuffling) Rocco has a history of pulling his starters extremely early in past postseason games. I don't think you will be able to justify doing that this year. I also think Rocco leaves in Ober through minimum 6 and Lopez 7 through sheer necessity, because he doesn't have a better option. Agreed?

    You may or may not recall that the Saints made it to the NFC championship the season right after Katrina, and they lost—- or was that part of the script as well? 🙂
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Hope your rehearsal went well 🙂
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Thanks for your company and thanks for not going ballistic… I am going to go put the teeth in the glass and advance scout the 9ers for a bit here 2nd & Goal
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Funny thing is, because of the WhiteSox, the Twins get all the tiebreakers (unless Boston sweeps us, in which case its Defcon 1 anyway)
