    I wanted Festa in the 7th and was shocked to see him. The pitches to Ozuna were competitive, he didn't chase, he's a professional hitter. OK, not the worst to walk their big power guy. Roll the dice and give Festa one more guy. It's almost like you're protecting your toddler from getting his feelings hurt rather than having him learn how to handle a tough situation. Maybe if it's Sands instead of Thielbar, I might have been more willing to concede taking Festa out after the walk.

    And there's Dr. StrangeGlove in left. Michael A Taylor is available...

    How are you a MLB umpire and miss that call?? That's almost as obvious as it gets.

    You mean to tell me in all of Del Boca Vista (the Twins minor league system), there isn't another lefty out there that can help this pen? Even if he's a starter at AA or AAA, make him a damn reliever.
  5. TwinsCD
    More shocked that Thielbar immediately gave up the lead (sarcasm)

    Margot's first step was back to the bag because of the line drive. That should have been an automatic stop. How a coach who has been out there that long can't even read his own players says a lot.

    Nice reverse graphic jinx. Right before the pitch, they showed Castro as 1 for his last 40 batting righty.

    WHAT IS TOMMY WATKINS DOING??
  9. TwinsCD
    Been sayin it for weeks...

    It'll never happen but Festa should get the 7th. But why stick with the hot hand when you can cave to the numbers and bring in a worse pitcher (if it's Thielbar).
  11. TwinsCD
    Twins did that...and then put him on waivers 3 weeks later. 🤦‍♂️

    Silver lining -- Sale's ERA vs Twins in his career is 3.81, 6th-worst of opponents he's faced but he is 11-6 against them. As a franchise, Twins are in the middle of pack in BA & OPS all-time vs Sale.

    Twins lefty hitters (not switch) vs LHP (stats entering Sunday): Kepler -- .280/.313/.427, 2 HR, 10 RBI, 2 BB, 18K Larnach -- .188/.235/.188, just 17 PA, 3 of 16 hitting, 6 K Wallner -- .143/.294/.286, just 17 PA, 2 of 14 hitting, 2 BB, 9 K Kiriloff -- 8 PA, 1 of 6 hitting with an RBI, 0 K Julien -- .208/.269/.375, 28 PA, 5 of 24 hitting with a solo HR, 2 BB, 13 K Larnach & Wallner are two of the better hitters on this team, especially now with Correa & Buxton being on IL. Against lefties, we're stuck with a steady diet of Margot & Martin, 2 guys who are not a threat to go deep. Your young lefties are never going to learn how to hit LHP unless they get opportunities to do so. I shudder to think what Rocco would have done if given the 91 Twins roster. Hrbek and Chili would have never had opportunities to hit (Hrbie hit .281 with 6 HR and Chili hit .270 with 11 HR in '91 vs LHP). You can't be a slave to numbers and you have to take the training wheels off at some point. Nobody in their right mind takes out a power hitter in place of a sub-.200 hitter in a big spot.

    Lee had 3 hits today at StP. Get him across town and jettison Julien to Mille Lacs.

    The bats lost this game today. Bases loaded in one inning, first & third in another, 3rd with 1 out in the 8th. Plus, letting Fedde get in their heads for a 3rd time this season. But once again also, it's the little things in the game that leads to this loss and while the Lewis PH situation worked, there is ZERO reason to pinch-hit Wallner in that (or any) situation. HOW ARE THE YOUNG LEFTIES GONNA LEARN TO HIT LEFTIES UNLESS YOU PUT THEM IN THAT POSITION???? Surely, Wallner could make a productive out. But then to double down on the questionability (my preferred word would earn me a BS point) by PH someone who is going to cause a total scramble drill on defense and lessen it in the process is just mind boggling. I will continue to say it until proven multiple times otherwise -- he's the worst clutch situation manager in the game.

    ATTABOY EDDIE...terrible.
  17. TwinsCD
    Alright, let's hope those 16 pitches last night weren't wasteful.
  18. TwinsCD
    Scratched from lineup with knee soreness. I'd say no chance he plays.
  19. TwinsCD
    Not only that but you lose his rocket arm in the outfield in case it's needed.
  20. TwinsCD
    Or rip a double to the gap. Same thing.
  21. TwinsCD
    I think I'd be PH someone else and drop a bunt down or let Larnach stay in and he drop the bunt down.
  22. TwinsCD
    2 singles = 1 double
  23. TwinsCD
    Yes, hence why I put the part about diving in there. =)
  24. TwinsCD
    Goodness, did we need the 5-minute version of God Bless America?
  25. TwinsCD
    Only need one foot in play when making a catch near dugout/stands. But that also includes diving into the stands, dugout for it. Burleson was legal there.
