  1. Rookie AK with an intelligent AB with a 2-run deficit, in marked contrast to its predecessor (which came from an 8-year veteran).
  2. The Twins are being the Twins and the opponents are winning.
  3. So glad to hear the crowd boo Correa. He's stealing their ticket money.
  4. Wacha must have been salivating when he saw who was coming up in a situation where he needed a K.
  5. I wonder if one run is going to be enough to beat the Twins again tonight.
  6. Not inflammatory at all. They got rid of him, deciding that he was expendable in order to get a good starting pitcher. We can't know what other deals were possible or whether Arraez was unwilling to extend or all the other things that were going on behind the scenes. But the fact is they got rid of him. I haven't made it a secret that I hate boring baseball, and that's what the FO's computer says they have to do. That's one reason MLB changed the rules this year to try to encourage less boring baseball. But the Twins are still playing tactically by the old rules. I can hope that they will adapt and go to more of a speed-, fielding-, and contact-based approach next year. If you disagree with me, you can hope that they look for more "true outcome" players and enjoy homerun derby. All a matter of taste.
  7. Yup. Or maybe two. I'm glad to have a few homeruns, but the strikeouts are really frustrating. And the homeruns mostly going to be solo blasts if no one can get on base.
  8. Arraez did it really well, but he didn't hit 40 HRs so the FO got rid of him.
  9. Hasn't it been a little off for the last few games?
  10. Aren't ideal leadoff batters suppose to take a few pitches to let the following hitters see the pitchers' stuff?
  11. Perfect extension of his coach. They're probably in heaven hoping for a blizzard on gameday!
  12. Just read a nice obit in NYT for Joe Kapp. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/09/sports/football/joe-kapp-dead.html I was in high school when the Vikes went to (and, of course, lost) their first Super Bowl with him at the helm. This quote from the article sums up my memories of him perfectly: Somehow, it's hard to imagine him resting in peace. He just wasn't that kind of guy ...
  13. Left in the fifth inning. Came back to browse the comments. Going out to lunch was definitely the right decision! And the avocado/cream cheese sandwich on fresh-baked onion bread was great, too!
  14. I like the first one better, with the exclamation marks!
  15. Yes, but he's got to get those numbers up! 🙂
  16. I was there behind 3rd base. One of the most exciting days of my life. It was hot that day and my mother and sister went to the car after about six innings. Nothing would pry my dad and me out of our seats!
  17. Gray is not getting any help from his infield tonight. Instead of a steak dinner, maybe some rancid tofu?
  18. I think Dyson used to throw it,
  19. Miranda is lucky not to have two errors this inning. Maybe if he keeps trying, he can get one on this batter.
  20. Mendoza---I mean Correa---is sure an easy out these days!
  21. Needs more practice sitting on the bench? Surely they knew who was pitching for Cleveland before they brought him up...
  22. How bad is the AL Central? If you add up the four non-Twins teams, they have a .362 winning percentage, which is lower than EVERY OTHER TEAM in the AL except Oakland and EVERY TEAM in the NL except St Louis.
