    And Wallner is yet another left-handed hitter at positions where we already have Kepler, Larnach, Kirilloff, etc.

    Whose fault is that? Players learn to bunt, or not, as they develop through the minor league system. The majority of the Twins' players are home-grown, so if they can't bunt it is TOTALLY the Twins' fault. Apologies for the double post. The box didn't go away so I thought the first time I hit the button it didn't take.

    Maybe that's what a truly good team is: one that is consistently good, not just good on their best days.

    I'm a fan. I'd gladly sit next to him if I were in AZ...

    I didn't watch the game last night. When I woke up this morning and saw 8 IP for Bundy, the only explanation that seemed possible is that Rocco went to sleep in the 4th, then woke up after 8 and told his coaches something to the effect of "Good golly! How did you let that happen? Is Bundy still alive? No doubt we'll have to put him on the IL now."

    Batting Buxton at the top of the order does not maximize the productivity of his at-bats, given the kind of hitter he has become. Too many solo homeruns because the bottom guys aren't on base.

    Les Straker! We need Les Straker!

    Thanks for this! There are so many TD photos that do not tell us who is in the picture, especially when it is a minor-leaguer whom most of us have never seen.

    I know it's just a throw-away introductory remark that is not the point of the story, but I'm denying this. He's hitting a lot of homeruns, yes. But MVP? He's batting .233 with an OBP of .317 hitting at the top of the order. He's striking out 26.6% of the time and walking only 8.5%. He had an 0-for-30 spell where he was the least valuable player in the league for more than a week. Injury-related or not, his famed speed is not providing much to the team as he doesn't beat out infield hits or steal bases anymore. That record wouldn't get an MVP vote from me unless he hit 100 homeruns and drove in 250 runs. It's more empty slugger much of the time this year than consistently valuable player.

    Does anyone know the date of Correa's opt-out? Last day of season?
  12. PDX Twin
    Crossing brides can be dangerous to a marriage.

    I wish that the whole team could just take the week off. I'm surprised that Correa is not on your list. This is a vote that depends on hype and lifetime reputation as much as (or more than) on this year's performance. Correa is the biggest name on the Twins' roster and his statistics are now respectable.

    I didn't watch for Apple reasons, but this is not unusual for national telecasts. They probably used a "generic" broadcast team who does all sports. Baseball, because of its pace, requires a very different on-air persona than continuous-action sports such as basketball, hockey, and American football. Long live Vin Scully! When I watch European football games on American TV, I have to turn the sound off with almost all of the American broadcasters. (Most networks use English broadcasters, but Fox's broadcasters are particularly bad.) Like baseball, footie has a unique pace that does not fit well with continuous ultra-high-energy hype. The worst I ever heard was an American hockey broadcaster trying to use the same adrenaline style. He lasted about 30 seconds for me before I was frantically hunting for the mute key!

    He's reminding more of late-career Barry Bonds than early-career Barry Bonds. I much preferred the latter.
  16. PDX Twin
    How does this affect his service time? Since he was in MLB, will the time he is out with the injury count?
  17. PDX Twin
    It's really wonderful to see Cave getting hot in time to join the Twins' roster!
  18. PDX Twin
    I second this. I've only seen a few of his games, but he has done something special every time I've tuned in.
  19. PDX Twin
    2.5 What? Innings? Pitches? Hours?
  20. PDX Twin
    Maybe it's my imagination, but it seems like they are shifting him more this year. And he seems to hit into it consistently.
  21. PDX Twin
    Well, what about the rumors about swapping Royce Lewis for the modern-day equivalent of Matt Capps at the deadline?
  22. PDX Twin
    This is a decent team. Neither (yet) a champion nor the embarrassment that they were last year. Enjoy the wins. Accept the losses. In baseball, there will always be a lot of both.
  23. PDX Twin
    Delighted to see him succeed. I hope that he and Spencer Steer can get along (Ducks vs. Beavers) once the latter gets promoted!
  24. PDX Twin
    It's his second cousin. See today's game thread for details.
  25. PDX Twin
    As I said in an earlier thread, Steer's development reminds me of Arraez. Never the top prospect on any team, but he just hits at every level. And Arraez's success translated to MLB. Let's hope that Steer's does too.
