    don’t worry, this is MLB in 2024, 1st and 2nd with no outs doesn’t mean runs anymore

    I think you are arguing two different things; hole vs whole maybe

    Looking forward to these City Connect uniforms and a chance to connect with the City!

    Do you mean Popovich? 🙂

    Kirilloff was hitting game winning home runs just a couple weeks ago

    I recall a story shared somewhere on this website, when Jack Goin spoke of a time when he told Ron Gardenhire that Justin Morneau (a left handed hitter) should really be batting closer to the bottom of the order against left-handed pitchers, on account of Morneau’s poor platoon disadvantage. (Something like that.) Gardy said back to him, something like: “I can’t move him down any lower than fifth, or I lose him as a three hitter too.” In other words, Gardy wanted to show confidence in Justin by leaving him at the top of the order even when the matchup was suboptimal. what a privilege to hear stories like that, by the way It’s a people game and I suspect something like what Gardy was talking about would be good for someone like Larnach or Kirilloff right now—let them play full time and become every day contributors, even though the lefty-lefty matchups might be suboptimal.

    The two switch hitters on this team, Santana and Castro, are the two hitters who lead the team in plate appearances. In other words, they always have the platoon split advantage. They also both typically bat at the bottom of the order. (Castro gets moved up sometimes.) They are also both better as right handed batters versus lefties. Most bullpen pitchers are righties. I’m guessing the current Twins brain trust gets the Microsoft error thud sound effect quite frequently when writing out their lineups, but charges right through it

    Sonny Gray is the type of player who does not give a crap about rally sausages, spoon & egg races, scheduled rest days, and whatever Thats what made him a bad fit here.

    Swept by the Yankees — make it official! 🙂

    Pablo keeping down Rocco’s leg would be worse than both those things 🙂

    Stripes reference — it will be funnier once I explain it 🙂
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I do think they oversold that whole idea. Pablo is good, but is he Johan Santana good? Under promise and over-deliver. This team (and this website) might do well to try that approach one of these times

    Without having the deep data in front of me, or the benefit of the 1000s of Twins Daily articles, I am going to guess that Lopez’s problem (‘problem’) this year has actually been being too much in the strike zone. His walk:inning ratio has always been very good, one walk per every three or four innings, but this year it is up to 1 walk per 6 innings. my Rx for Pablo: issue a few more free passes, even in touchy spots. Let a pitch slip out of your hand a little more often (oops, didn’t mean to throw that one in so close…) … but not on 0-2, kthanx bye

    woa.. Correa hit a home run? He must now have almost as many as Royce Lewis! 🤣
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    More likely than not, Twins with a chance to pick up a game tonight. Then I look at Cleveland’s schedule and they play Miami this weekend. Thats another 2-of-3 for them. Every matchup easier than the last. Who does Cleveland play next week? Probably someone like Little Sisters of the Poor, or some hyphenated teams, etc
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    A monkey throwing darts could have called a better strike zone tonight
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    You mean Paddack threw up and in? ”See there he threw up”— you could have stopped there 🙂

    Trying to make a World Series run with a lineup of mostly platoon/part-time players.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Being alive is a pretty good gig, if you can hold on to it long enough
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Will Royce Lewis become human tonight? The last MLB player to carry a 4.000 OPS this late into the season was… Jamie Quirk, 1984 (trigger warning if you need to look this one up) (also not sure if that is factual)
