    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.

    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.

    Excellent job @Hans Birkeland and not at all what I was expecting

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    “Keynes is dead.” - god

    Sure, call it tension, competitiveness, whatever. Doesn’t really matter in the long run.
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I started off by saying I had no opinion on whether Gray should have been pulled last night. That is as non-assuming as you can possibly get. No need to call anyone out for saying they have no opinion. If you want to argue without evidence that the bullpen was not addressed this past offseason, fine. I am not going to call it out every time I see it somewhere in a thread. These summer months are the time to get these extra innings out of Gray. He is a pro and should be given a motivation to pitch deep and work out of his own jams when necessary.
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Don’t look now, right?
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I don’t know what’s going on, but obviously Sonny Gray is not a big Rocco fan lol. So I am going to assume there is a reason for that, but—maybe not. The off field and interpersonal stuff is a big part of being a fan for me. Maybe Sonny Gray always feels this way about his manager on all his teams? Good question and I don’t know. So there you have challenged me in a good way to go back and maybe look at old quotes and try to get more information.
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Please stop following me around, nitpicking posts you don’t like, and accusing me of having agendas or narratives. Please.
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Good question and not sure. We don’t hear from Maki enough( maybe he likes it that way). The tension between Gray and Baldelli is palpable. Whatever, raise a toast to competitors.., 🥂🥃
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I fully expect the Twins to take 3 of 4 still, and a split wouldn’t be the end of the world.
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    No opinion tonight on whether Gray should have stayed in the game tonight, but Rocco has given him a quick hook plenty of times in the past. Rocco needs to set aside whatever personal differences he has with Gray and work him like a rented mule, squeeze out every possible inning and save the pen. This is Gray’s last season in Minnesota either way.
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I didn’t realize his numbers weren’t that great, so it makes sense to some degree.
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    huh? That seems just weird to continue jerking around Larnach like that. Anyway, yeah I heard Gladden say that Buxton was running full sprints before the game, max effort, and expected Buxton to be activated in the next day or two.
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    If this is the real Correa, and he keeps it up, then the pennant race this year is going to be lacking in drama. 🙂
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I will assume you meant to stop after the first sentence, and I will call it a wrap.
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Splendid. Maybe we get an update on Buxton’s ribs, soon. We all want a healthy Buxton, I’m hoping you can agree with that.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    “I underestimated how quickly Buxton would go from all-defensive CF to DH. I thought there would be a stop in the corner outfield in between. The guy can't keep his knees healthy enough to practice catching flyballs so he can prepare for an outfield spot.”
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Is there any recent evidence that his knees that are healthy enough to bat and run the bases are not healthy enough to start warming up in the outfield and ramp him back up to play center?
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I have no doubt that Buxton’s knee, or knees, bother him sometimes. No doubt at all. Same with Taylor’s back, Correa’s feet and ankles, same with Luis Arraez’s knees, same with pretty much every player out there, are dinged up to some degree. A few people here are speaking as if they have medically evaluated Buxton themselves. One poster just declared that Buxton’s outfield career is already over.
