    I only made it to the third. And I'm in the Pacific Time Zone.

    The job of the manager and coaching staff is to make sure that the team gets the most out of its players. All of the comments above are about the fact that the Twins' hitters are underproducing. Does the staff not deserve blame for that?
  3. PDX Twin
    Of course they do. We are desperate for left-handed hitting outfielders.
  4. PDX Twin
    What must the starting pitchers be thinking. Before today, the best ERA in baseball and no winning record in a really weak division. When do we play Oakland? Might be worth watching.

    It seems like about half the time, the Twins' lineup is posted and the opponents' is not. Does Rocco just have a lineup rotation set a week in advance on his tablet and all he has to do (unless there is an injury) is hit "send"? Or, more generously, maybe he just works harder than the other manager and gets his assignment in early?
  6. PDX Twin
    Yup. For a guy with his range at SS, you'd think he could get down the line a little quicker.

    If the Twins are going to buy, they need to buy a "winner." Someone who does his best when the game is on the line and who can be a leader in the clubhouse. Could be a hitter or a pitcher, but they need someone on whom the rest of the team can lean, because right now they are all taking turns falling over each other when the pressure's on.

    And, with one exception, below .250.

    Going through our hometown last week (and past the soon-to-reopen DQ), my wife and I were remembering the nickel cone! The 25-cent cones were huge!
  10. PDX Twin
    How can Cuzzi call that a ball? Cuzzi doesn't know any better!
  11. PDX Twin
    Is there an echo in here?
  12. PDX Twin
    Wow. The Royals are really a "work in progress." Or maybe a "work in regress." They even managed to be laughably terrible at what they are supposed to do well. (The running game.)
  13. PDX Twin
    So, what's going on with fireworks? It won't be dark when the game ends. Are they trying to get two admission charges?
  14. PDX Twin
    Given the gap of 20 years and the difference between a pitcher and a shortstop, the junior seems redundant in this case. With the Griffeys they were closer together and both outfielders. so it kind of made more sense.
  15. PDX Twin
    Wish I could! All the DQs near us in Portland have closed in the last couple of decades. I used to know all the locations in most of Oregon because it was my treat-to-self after refereeing three soccer games.
  16. PDX Twin
    Royals are missing MAT in centerfield on that one!
  17. PDX Twin
    Good things happen when Max goes the other way.
  18. PDX Twin
    According to the box score, the blown save statistic is just BS.
  19. PDX Twin
    BUT, what is the alternative? My objection to the signing was largely "Why spend the money on him?" It's not like we don't have cheap alternatives as LH power bats who play corner outfield and 1B who may well turn out to be better: Kirilloff, Larnach, and Wallner. And, of course, we also have Kepler if the youngsters don't measure up. To me, the Gallo signing was a very poor one because we lost a huge amount of development time for those three kids and, really, didn't get much in return (unless you are trying to run up opposing pitchers' strikeout totals, which Gallo does singularly well).
  20. PDX Twin
    As usual, Nick, I find myself in substantial agreement with the points you make. As someone once said, "It's hard to get a clutch hit with both hands around your throat." These Twins' hitters really choke a lot in key situations. Unlike Kirby, who carried the team on his back, these guys are looking for a back onto which to climb, and there is none available.
  21. PDX Twin
    To me, that was not unlucky, it was incompetent defense from the pitcher. You don't need to be Greg Maddux or Jim Kaat to make that an out.
  22. PDX Twin
    Looks like a meagre crowd today. I wonder if the mass shooting a mile away made people more nervous then usual about central Baltimore. Or if the Orioles just aren't drawing despite their improved success this year.
  23. PDX Twin
    And only one run allowed in 22 innings.
  24. PDX Twin
    Presumably on the passed ball that would have been.
  25. PDX Twin
    Kind of pathetic that Miranda was sent down in great disappointment with a .220 BA, which, upon his recall, exceeds Buxton, Correa, and Taylor in today's regular starting lineup (not to mention Gallo and Kepler, who always start against RHP). Given that termites seem to have devoured the entire team's bats, maybe his start wasn't all that bad.
