    Yeah it will be crazy if the Twins win tonight, tomorrow’s game will be worth two games, due to tiebreaker.
  2. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Good point, but I think it’s the overall pattern. Why not just sub guys when it’s necessary like right there?
  3. Hosken Bombo Disco
    8th inning, bench is empty this should go well against a team like Houston or Seattle
  4. Hosken Bombo Disco
    His in-laws weren’t happy about it, either ba-dum tschhh
  5. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Rocco manages like he just found out about platoon splits last week

    1. Every Twins batter making an out on mLB GameDay has been “lines out sharply to…” 2. Luck does tend to even out over the course of a full season. 3. But not necessarily in the postseason

    Take that back! The Woodstock anthem was a work of art! You do remember Woodstock, don’t you?
  8. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Agree, go for the absolute knockout
  9. Hosken Bombo Disco
    World of hurt for the CLE pitching staff right now. and remember,
  10. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I am afraid that if Julien is playing second base in (knock on wood) the postseason, that, the ball is “going to find him” like what happened with Schwarber in left field in 2015. But for now, it’s good to get Julien the reps out there.

    Remember also, Cleveland lost their top 2 starting pitchers (imagine the cries if Lopez and Gray had gone down to injury) They never really had a chance.. oh and Circus Boy update: 2-0 good guys

    Guardians: We got a bunch of new pitchers! Twins, after this series:

    I agree - I think it would be a huge mistake to try to squeeze another season out of Kepler. Let’s just appreciate what he has done here in the second half and hope he runs into one in the postseason (because you know he is going to be in the starting lineup). But the 2024 outfield crunch is helped by letting Kepler go, and sliding Wallner to right. Maybe Larnach’s future is as a LF platoon/PH bat but there is still value in that.
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I don’t disagree about Larnach. For me, it’s that he is a personal fave, and I thought the front office was high on him, and he started the season in MLB until he caught a case of pneumonia. It sure looks like Wallner is the better player at this point. I think there is room for both Larnach in left and Wallner in right in 2024. Or, if Julien is hurt or slumping, that looks like an easy way to get Larnach back up too. Larnach might not play much here for the Twins in 2023 but I love the idea of bringing him along for the ride.
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Gallo will be with us to the bitter end. I fully expect him to be rostered for the Wild Card series, but probably won’t play. From there we have to wait and see.
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Not nice to leave Kirilloff in AAA after what he’s been through. They don’t need Luplow’s right handed bat. They already have Correa, Lewis, Polanco, Buxton and Taylor are right handed, their catchers are right handed, and has been rightly pointed out Solano is having a nice season. Plenty of capable right handed bats. Bring up Kirilloff and bring up Larnach while you’re at it.
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I actually think Rocco will move Correa back up to the #1 slot when the AL Wild Card round starts. It did work after the All Star break.
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Can you tell us what this new information is?
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Maeda dodged some bullets today. The platoon split, pinch hitting thing going on is way out of control, if you ask me. Sending Castro up to pinch hit already behind in the count 0-1 is … not sure. Nevertheless, a really good series overall. Next up, the Twins have a chance to do to Cleveland what Cleveland did to the Twins last September.
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Not sure why they are allowing Julien play when he noticeably favoring one leg? The old “I’m fine coach” should only go so far especially given other injuries we are seeing.
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    A very entertaining game! I think we need to ask if we should be using Duran as much as we are. Back to back nights and 3 nights out of 4 seems like a very bad idea. I think they are overworking him for no good reason. He now seems to have lost command of his breaking pitches to boot. I don't think we should shut him down completely, but just use him more strategically as if the division lead is more like 15 games than 5 games. No more back to backs. Nevertheless a very nice win tonight. Good rally by Pagan after walking three guys. Nice grab by Solano and clutch hit by Correa.
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    All these other guys, nothing. Buxton is a big deal around here, yet nothing from Dan Hayes, Darren Wolfson, Do-Hyoung Park, Souhan, LENIII, etc. Don’t let your tee times get interrupted by a Buxton update, fellas. 🙂 anyone I miss? By the way, kudos to Ted Schwerzler, who takes some heat for some of his takes, but is the hardest working guy on the Twins beat right now, hands down. Thank you. @Ted Schwerzler

    By the way, hats off to Phil Miller for at least showing interest in the Buxton saga this season, and tweeting out something about this most recent setback:
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Larnach says hi. Wallner should be in right field, not left, to maximize his strong arm. Buxton should be in center (I’m open to Martin) or Lewis who should be at a premium position. Varland has promise but is still a work in progress. I’m not ready to crown Julien anything yet. There are parallels to Miranda there and that should be a lesson. Those other rookie classes were better, in my opinion, but no this one is not bad. With Mike Radcliffe sadly no longer with us, lets hope the right people are in place to keep the talent pipeline going.

    As far as using plantar fasciitis as an excuse, if Correa had taken a couple months off to treat it back in May, maybe he would be back to full strength by now, or at least managing it fine. There would be no negative impact to the teams place in the standings. I will guess that Correa has got a Wally Pipp thing going on here with Royce Lewis at short, and won’t admit it. Or he is trying to be Superman. Or it’s the mildest case of plantar fasciitis on record. Or a combo platter of all those things. As far as the pop up he let drop, Correa wasn’t available for questions after the game. We know he’s a smart player. Like the rest of you, I assume he saw something that wasn’t there or got his signals crossed. Mistakes happen. According to Gladden during yesterday’s broadcast, Correa decided to go take extra batting practice in the cage after the game during the media period.
