    That does not improve our record in one-run games...
  2. PDX Twin
    Any chance that Gibson gets an extension?

    LaMarre makes Buxton's easy plays look hard ...

    Before the season we all heard, and even said, that 2018 was the beginning of the Twins' future. Sadly, this may be correct. I'm afraid that the future is going to look a lot like 2018 in too many ways: disappointing Buxton, uninterested and underachieving Sano, etc. Not only have the last two months soured me on the 2018 season, they have gutted my optimism about the coming five years and even made me much less interested in following prospects, who figure to disappoint us once they come up regardless of their minor-league credentials.

    Call him up?!

    This is an interesting point. It seems like there are some groups of players/managers (i.e., teams) that always find a way to win the close ones; there are others that seem to be content with "oh well, we came close." The last two days have supported my suspicion that this year's Twins are the latter. Does it come back to the discussion of a few days ago about "character"?
  7. PDX Twin
    By the same logic that I celebrated on November 30, 1999 because it was 0/0/00!
  8. PDX Twin
    Not to belabor, but to me the "character" I want in a player is someone who makes his teammates better. This can occur in a lot of ways, but probably involves treating them with respect, showing respect for the game, working hard to improve, etc. If the Twins are drafting players who can make each other better, then they should succeed.

    Every organization probably has a dozen or more replacement-level players. Over any 30-60 day period any of these can be very good (or very bad). But few will turn out to be quality MLB starters over a longer period. If two years from now Goodrum is an automatic on the lineup card for the Tigers (or anyone else), then I'll agree with you. Remember Andrew Albers!

    And Gordon takes LaMarre's spot in Rochester. Now our posters will have one fewer thing about which to complain.
  11. PDX Twin
    Is there a reason why a runner would not touch the plate with the leading leg? If he does that he's safe by several feet.
  12. PDX Twin
    Or use the DH for him and let the pitchers bat.
  13. PDX Twin
    2-0 is a big lead in (real) football ... or against the Twins.
  14. PDX Twin
    I'm not convinced that would help. I'm sorry to say that I've given up on Buxton and Sano, and therefore on this generation of the Twins' offense. Little Whiff and Big Whiff.
  15. PDX Twin
    When Buxton breaks a bat it reassures me that the one he is using is actually made of wood, not a plastic whiffle bat. Of course, it rarely matters because he does not often make contact.

    And he departed after walking in his 3rd plate appearance. I had switched over to the Twins, so I did not see if he was injured.
  17. PDX Twin
    I just watched our injured 3B have a typical at-bat for Rochester. A bunch of weak foul balls, then flailed at a 3-2 slider and missed by a foot against a AAA pitcher with an ERA over 5. I really cannot say that I miss seeing that in the Twins lineup...
  18. PDX Twin
    Wade has not played the last two days after crashing into the fence. I am not convinced that they would have brought him up anyway, but it seems that he could not have played if they had.
  19. PDX Twin
    I was watching the Lookouts' game. Wade crashed really, really hard into the wall making a catch to end the sixth. He was down on the ground for several minutes, then got up and walked off with obvious pain in his left shoulder. He appeared to be walking uncomfortably as well, and several times reached down to touch the inside of his right thigh. The announcer talked only about the shoulder, so maybe the leg isn't a problem.

    Nothing at all wrong with ties! I hate that American sports can't just leave games tied.
  22. PDX Twin
    Yeah, but the launch angle was amazing!
  23. PDX Twin
    This Romero guy is starting to remind me of ... oh ... Andrew Albers! :-)

    Another Blown-Save Opportunity for Rodney.

    Palka has been watching Grossman.
