    Darren O'Day needs to work on his "downward plane"
  2. Hosken Bombo Disco
    As the Twins have clearly shown the past three games. just having fun Also, Baltimore 37-24 at home, Tampa Bay 31-31 at home
  3. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yeah, something significantly greater than 99% is what I think we can all agree, if not exactly 100. What's your take on both NY and Toronto having 95% as that's only a 6 game slump in the standings for one of them? Seems like worse has happened in the final six weeks.
  4. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Assigning 100% to Kansas City makes me think this is just a bunch of 20-yr-olds winging it, Buzzfeed style.

    I would bet there is a whole lot of groupthink and consensus opinion that goes into those industry rankings. They are basically accurate but the organizations who rely on them most are not going to have any meaningful advantage. Maybe in some weird way, that does invalidate them. I am thinking of the rankings for the amateur draft here. I'd also bet the Twins knew Duffey had a faster spinning curve than the scouting reports said, and that's why he was promoted somewhat quicker than expected.

    Yeah Suzuki got that OPS back up---and the Twins Win-Loss record back up to .500, too!
  7. Hosken Bombo Disco
    He didn't leave any pitches up. It's kind of a cliche but true. Jepsens's heater was down in the zone, and the curve balls just where the Orioles like them: six inches in the dirt
  8. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Orioles luv'em some curve balls... one more out to go..
  9. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Hu is this guy?

    I saw the 7th and 8th inning last night (the long delay worked to my benefit ) and I loved how Duffey and Suzuki seemed to call curveball for many consecutive pitches batter after batter. It was working, so why not? No need to "mix in" any other pitches last night when the Orioles are eating out of your hand. Obviously not every game will develop that way but yeah Duffey is fun to watch right now and very glad to know there is some sound science behind his success. He will also throw a fastball inside for a ball, just to shake the batter up a bit. Love it.

    I say double that

    I did my own research and according to accuweather it looks like the last weak cell is finally passing through. That information comes with every caveat known to mankind (and crabkind) I also know a half hour ago, the Baltimore Orioles tweeted out a cryptic message suggesting there would be a ballgame at the end of the rainbow. Isn't it funny how certain sportswriters will tweet out things during a game like "Mauer RBI single!" that the whole world knows, but when you need real information during a rain delay, there's nothing.
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yes.
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    There are parts of your reply I really like, and parts I really disagree with. It might get a little pitchforkian, so I can send you a private response if you wish.

    I don't honestly know how the Twins stack up. I would like to see some hard data at some point. I would bet they are slower promoting pitchers and about average promoting position players. People will mention shortstop as a position of need. Going into 2015 I think the Twins felt shortstop was a position of depth in their organization. Danny Santana would get the opening chance, and maybe Polanco would be ready, and if not, Escobar could fill in. And then there's Nunez, too. Maybe is why they drafted Nick Gordon the high school shortstop over Trea Turner, the college shortstop who's most likely going to be called up this season. I would prefer the Twins just stay the course at shortstop and let Escobar play full time until these other guys take the job by force. But what's the difference if your shortstop developed in college versus the minor league system?
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I think Perkins has stated he will be retiring after this contract in 2018 and that he wants to retire a Twin. And we know how loyal the front office is to favored players. So people should factor all of that into any trade proposals they dream up. That's not to say Perkins will remain an All Star closer for the remainder of his contract. I actually hope we see a situation where he moves into more of a set up role or closer by committee with someone who can actually throw some heaters.
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Eovaldi entered the inning already at the 100 pitch mark....and I imagine the Twins front office all sharing a private joke about how badly Yankees manage their pitchers
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Hunter doesn't come in to play outfield? Too tuckered out from last night?
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    No joke
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Against my better judgment, I am going to follow this game again.
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    again, no, they are vilified when they lose. Not when they do or don't do something. There are lots of things to be optimistic about. And I mean A LOT. We all hope the Twins and Ryan can take advantage and make the best of the talent they have emerging. It's not a bad thing to have high expectations!
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Not a fair question. And anyway, I would have passed on the Santana and Pelfrey signings this offseason. Boom: $50 million freed up to apply to an actual #1 or 2 guy this offseason. Like other posters are saying, sometimes it's the moves you don't make. Extending Suzuki at the trade deadline last July. Everyone on TD groaned when that happened, so it's hard to play the authority card on that one. Additionally, giving Danny Santana too much rope this season. The GM should have optioned him around mid to late May to keep Molitor from continually playing him where he was over his head. I give Ryan credit for bringing Hunter on, but you can't milk that one small victory forever. And no way should Hunter be signed for next season unless the press release includes the words "bench" or "limited playing time" or "DH only."
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    As long as Eovaldi isn't throwing ravioli, I think we'll be ok today
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Twins employing a Robinson-Hunter platoon. Who says they don't platoon?
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Twins fans here on TD were proposing this? Do you have a link?
