    Gonzalez may not hit for much, but at least he's slow.

    Any word yet on a pitcher for tomorrow?

    I don't read SI except the occasional link from here, but that was a wonderfully written article. Kudos to Ms. Baccellieri. Sympathy to Mr. Burdi.

    Sure: Intentional walk, pick-off, intentional walk, pick-off, intentional walk, pick-off. Repeat nine times. No-hit shutout with a zero pitch count!

    How can there be an answer to that question? There are situations where we need him for a key out against a lefty and there are situations (such as yesterday) where we need him for two innings. One of the fine arts of managing is recognizing game situations and using pitchers to maximize wins, while still balancing the load so that everybody stays fresh.

    "Lettuce" hope that he continues to excel! It would be fun to have him on the same team as Kohl (Cabbage-in-German) Stewart some day.

    I think we are all waiting for the OII (Odorizzi Implosion Inning). Will it be now, or next inning, or the one after? We know it's coming ...

    Games against Canadian teams don't count in the standings, right?

    One of the things I like a lot about this squad is its depth. The hitters can make a positive impact 1 through 9. The pitching staff less so, but if Gibson gets going and Odorizzi figures out how not to be wild after 4 innings, there are at least four guys who should give you a chance to win. Although the average quality in the bullpen could be better, we are not dependent on a Joe Nathan to clean up every game. Winning games like yesterday's and today's makes a big difference at the end of the season. Two losses and we are .500. Two wins and we top the division.

    Piece of cake, ye of little faith.

    And the exact opposite was true in Pensacola, where the broadcaster (Joe Garagiola's grandson!) couldn't remember a game with such a strong wind off the bay, against the batters. Popups to shortstop were ending up 5 rows back in the seats behind the dugout.

    One might have said: "Joe Record came on in the ninth to slam the door however, and grabbed his to RECORD his first save of the season while striking out the side."

    I turned off the Twins in disgust and switched over to the Blue Wahoos against the Jumbo Shrimp. (Gotta love those MiLB nicknames!) I thought I was in a time warp. The Shrimp had the bases loaded with no outs and the Wahoos' pitcher proceeded to hit the batter to force in a run, cutting a two-run lead to one. They managed to get out of it but only because the next batter swung and missed at a 3-2 pitch above his eyes. Wow, maybe the Twins just needed worse Mets.

    You mean sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia?
  15. PDX Twin
    Dumb. At this point in a close game, you can let Perez hit once. Of course, now it's not a close game any more.
  16. PDX Twin
    I"m not ready to give up on Vasquez, but I sure wouldn't put him into that situation! All on Rocco the Rookie.
  17. PDX Twin
    OK. I'm officially on the sack Baldelli bandwagon. That was a dunce move with huge cost.
  18. PDX Twin
    That looked to me like a passed ball that was a direct result of trying to "frame" a pitch. He tried to keep the glove in the strike zone even though the ball wasn't.
  19. PDX Twin
    Actually, the pitch was coming back to earth rather quickly ...
  20. PDX Twin
    Max hasn't hit his HR yet ...
  21. PDX Twin
    Schoop-ed that one out in a hurry!
  22. PDX Twin
    OK, Eddie. Scare me half to death.
  23. PDX Twin
    Cheer up! We could have had Cano and only be paying ~$20m for the next few years of non-production.
  24. PDX Twin
    I guess he's had too many major-league innings to be a "prospect," but has everyone completely given up on Romero? Over the last two years he has been the "next big thing" and now all of the sudden I don't see any mention of him.
  25. PDX Twin
    It looks like maybe you reversed the score in the Cedar Rapids headline. I saw it and was thinking "sweep"!
