    No, not you.

    glad I wasn’t the only one.

    Who has worse knees, Buxton or Arraez! That’s gonna be a close one!
  4. Hosken Bombo Disco
    There were lots of fans opposed to trading Arraez for Lopez when it was just a rumor, but when Miami threw in an A ball player hitting a buck-eighty, it suddenly became a fantastic trade! Not to mention the fans who seemed perfectly satisfied with Rocco pulling Joe Ryan out of a no hitter after the 7th last year. (also against the Royals.) The satire pen will never run out of work!

    It’s a team game, but individual achievements are fun, and raise a player’s stature. Fans and teammates alike want to see individuals do well. I am in favor of Twins starters throwing complete game shutouts. 🙂

    Great game. Keep Correa at lead off. Buxton does not appear injured in any way, shape or form. Maybe this will be the game that reenergizes Kepler, but we have said that before as well.. For people who believe the old saying about winning 60, losing 60, and it’s the other 40 that count, this was probably a game in the win 60 group.

    I mean, it comes down to whether you have a vision for this team or not. Do you? Did you in 2021?
  8. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Berrios would have been extended on a new Twins contract, negating that need to trade for Lopez.
  9. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Honestly Mike, it could have been extend Berrios and keep Arraez.
  10. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Something needs to change! They could start by changing that OPS against lefties?
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Also for people looking for silver linings, remember the Twins squandered their entire 11.0 game lead in the standings in 2019 too, and the world ended that day too. 🙂 but they rallied and won the division anyway.
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    There seems to be a culture issue, granted, but in this case I think it’s just mistakes compounded on mistakes compounded on more mistakes. Someone will say, “there’s not one thing that will fix this” or “Arraez by himself wouldn’t help this offense.” Yeah, tell me about it. We are too far down the rabbit hole at this point, unfortunately.
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I think there was more resistance to Correa than was let on. People had their reasons, like his ankle, or cheating history or Dior comments, but mostly I thought he was just a really poor fit going forward for reasons we have discussed.
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I am begging you to go back and read what I was saying about Correa 🙂 granted, it might not have been all on this forum

    When I think of pipeline I think of starting pitching, with bullpen still important but more as a byproduct. So you have guys like Graterol and Duran who got a lot of attention as starters, but looked more like future bullpen arms. I don’t know which pitchers currently in the Twins system are really making people excited as future starters besides Varland, but I’m sure there are some. Cory Lewis as mentioned in the article but still in A+ and a ways to go yet Atlanta would be the new team to emulate as far as building a pipeline, Fried and Wright go on the IL and they don’t miss a beat. Atlanta also promotes their arms quickly, which the Twins are also doing, so we might see a guy like Lewis actually debut for a cup of coffee later next season if he continues to dominate.

    Maeda’s body language was that of a pitcher who knows his career is in the balance. That’s what I was seeing, anyway. He pretty much stopped throwing the four seam fastball the second time through the order. That might be a warning flag, He does look to be in better conditioning than he was this spring, however, like not walking off the mound after every inning like he’s completely exhausted. So that’s a good sign. I would be willing to give him some run to see if he can strings some starts together. Hard as it is to believe, both Cleveland and Chicago are having worse years than the Twins. Compounded by the fact that Triston McKenzie and Liam Hendricks both had to go back on the IL with elbow issues. The division is there for the taking.

    Agree, no need to DFA Gallo, he is performing pretty much to expectations when they signed him. I went back through the earlier thread, and the Gallo signing actually came right after the Giants landed Correa. The fans hadn’t quite recovered from losing Correa, and I think it added a little zest to some of the reactions to the Gallo signing.
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Great job Joe Ryan! Nice to have something like this on your resume. I feel like this was owed to him today after being pulled from the no hitter last year.
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Excellent job @Hans Birkeland and not at all what I was expecting
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Good plan. Do actual things with people who matter to you. The Twins will still have games on the schedule through September, if you wanted to circle back at some point.
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Wrong. Correa is a great defensive shortstop. 🙂 But that's not really my point. Polanco wasn't great at short, but I was fine with him there. Given enough time and a long enough leash, I am betting Lewis would have demonstrated that he was not as good as Correa, but was better than Polanco. Instead, we are discussing whether Lewis is even good enough to hold down third base.
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I thought what Miranda needed in April/May was a run at DH, or a couple days off. What Kirilloff needs is first base, and what Lewis needs is to play shortstop. (There is 3/4s of next season’s infield if you had asked me this past offseason) Anyway, the AAA carousel is not the answer, in my opinion. I think it’s also time to turn our gaze from the players to the coaching philosophy and stuff like that.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I am a radio geek, and heard most of the ‘CCO coverage today. (ooh good for me) Anyway, there has been nothing spoken from anyone lately about this phantom injury that is preventing Buxton from taking the field. In fact, gladden made a comment at some point today that basically said the Twins are waiting for Buxton to come to them to say he’s ready to play center again. With the bad break Taylor suffered today and he figuring to be out for a couple days now at least, I’m hoping we see Buxton in center field tomorrow night. Surprise us, Twins. Surprise us, Buck. The team needs you! Pleasantly surprise us, please.

    Balazovic with the big club. Welcome! Jorge Lopez put on restricted list. Behind the scenes stuff this morning that might explain why a bunch of Twins officials missed their media appointments this morning
