    Regrettably, we are terrible students...

    The one after the balk seemed like an "I'm sorry" call. He had to call the balk, but clearly it was an accidental slip. Maybe the umpire felt sorry for him and gave him the strike on a ball that was three inches low.

    Won't have that problem with my tofu tonight! 🙂

    From the bounce, I'm assuming they still have fake grass there?

    Dick just complimented the Twins by saying how they started hitting the ball hard yesterday. Only for a team in a serious slump does "hitting the ball hard" count as a triumph!

    Is Kepler even allowed into Canada now?

    You mean the self-inflicted wound?

    My favorite (English) football team began the season with a ton of talent. They won only 2 of their first 11 games of the just-completed season and looked exactly like the Twins look now: no energy, no intelligence, no desire to win. Just putting in the time and cashing the paychecks. They were in 17th place, just out of the relegation zone. They fired the manager and hired someone who was tactically and motivationally brilliant. Despite having their share of injuries and only one new player added at the equivalent of the trade deadline, the team rose ten places over the remaining 27 games to finish 7th and qualify for a European competition for the first time in 12 years. Leadership DOES make a difference, at least sometimes.

    Bravo, Nick. Not only poor, but unwatchable! The Twins out-homered the Rays today 2-1, and lost the game 4-2. Nobody wants to just get on base or create runs in any other way. It's like they are playing homerun derby while the other team plays baseball, and beats them.

    And it gets worse going forward. Between strikeouts and injuries, Byron Albatross provides little value and is being paid $15m per year for another half-decade. Carlos Albatross makes $33.3m for a similar time and mostly just strikes out and grounds into double plays. This team has two strikes against it for the next five years. And that's not counting the non-trivial likelihood that the $20+m that Pablo Lopez makes starting in two years ends up paying for disappointing performances, or even for a pitcher sidelined by injuries. Twins fans had better hope that their kids all turn into superstars (and several might!), because they won't be able to afford anything more expensive.

    Over/under on Twins' runs = 0.5. Over/under on Twins' strikeouts = 13.5. Enough for me tonight!
  12. PDX Twin
    Sure glad we got rid of Raley!

    Isn't it amazing that they don't feel like they need to hit a homerun on every pitch? They scored three runs that inning without really hitting the ball hard, except for the foul ball triple.
  14. PDX Twin
    Inevitable.
  15. PDX Twin
    Gee. Don't you wish it were Buxton, Gallo, and Correa striking out instead of today's lineup?
  16. PDX Twin
    I have a hard time seeing him as contributing to the Twins again. He Maeda's well retire.
  17. PDX Twin
    I think it was SS Farmer on the turn, though.
  18. PDX Twin
    That might be the prettiest DP of the year!
  19. PDX Twin
    No-hitter or No-pitcher?
  20. PDX Twin
    Polanco 1, Post-Guardians 0... Just like last night.
  21. PDX Twin
    Did AJ really just say "Two pitches and three outs" instead of the other way? Thinking about it, that's actually possible now. Two one-pitch outs and then three pitch-clock violations on the batter on the first pitch (which never happens).
  22. PDX Twin
    Are you sure that wasn't the abdominal issue?
  23. PDX Twin
    I remember that when the Giants unloaded him a year after that wonderful trade, the local media characterized him as a "cancer in the clubhouse." Did he have that reputation in Minnesota? Or was it just a case of a different clubhouse.

    Is Arraez eligible? He's having a sensational season, but wearing the wrong shirt!

    Moran makes a mess; Stewart cleans it up!
