    Sorry, I was offline last night having wood-fired pizza in our garden! Only caught a few minutes of Medusa's masterful performance during preparation!

    It says a lot about the Twins' season that we have won the first three games of a series against rivals and not one comment (yet) about a sweep.

    I dislike Simmons both because of the selfish covid caper and because his affect on the field is highly unattractive. He never acts like he cares, never seems to smile, and just seems like he's counting the dollars per inning and waiting to get back to the hotel. Maybe it's not fair to judge a guy based on his demeanor, but I suspect that this is one reason that he gets so much flack. He is an aging player who was a great fielder (and is still good) but was never a good hitter (and is now poor). In other words, about what we should have expected. Surely not even close to the worst ever signing.

    In other words, he gives up 5 home runs at Yankee Stadium.

    I mean, a win is nice, but now they need a new barn. Maybe it was inevitable after starting a guy from Burnsville...

    Maybe the Twins can find him a barber before tomorrow night...

    And after doing everything he could to lose the game in the 9th, he ends up with a +0.214 WPA?
  8. PDX Twin
    Pretty cheap save for Colome, but glad Ober got the win.

    "How do I lose thee? Let me count the ways."

    Maybe that's the plan. Sano has a pretty good arm. Let him have a couple of starts!
  11. PDX Twin
    They probably want the Twins (and maybe Yankees) to get out before the airports close.

    Looks like a hurricane and flood warnings in the forecast, so I'm betting there is no game.
  13. PDX Twin
    Of course, that couldn't have anything whatsoever to do with ESPN being centered in New England ...

    I think I remember that The Sporting News, back when it was the definitive baseball Bible before the Internet took over, ranked 1991 as the best of the first 100 World Series. Does someone else remember this? Anything I'm too lazy to look up online?

    It's easy to go Obervoard after a couple of good starts...
  16. PDX Twin
    My prediction: They'll waive him. Detroit will pick him up. He will hit 45 HRs for them next year batting between Baddoo and Schoop.
  17. PDX Twin
    Nice inning for Gant. Now we just need Hrbek to pick him up in the 8th!
  18. PDX Twin
    Maybe it was the talent that got poached that was responsible for the success?
  19. PDX Twin
    I vote for Falvey to come in to pitch and see what it feels like. And no DH. He gets to hit, too.
  20. PDX Twin
    It's fun to see pitchers succeed without throwing 120 mph.
  21. PDX Twin
    Both on the ground ball and on the blooper in the field Kepler looked a step slow to me (at least slower than I wanted him to be!). Is he carrying and knock of some kind?
  22. PDX Twin
    Why would you bat Arraez 4th? He gets his usual single *after* the homerun and *before* the automatic out.
  23. PDX Twin
    If he played this season a couple hundred miles north, India could be an Indian!
  24. PDX Twin
    Is it just me? On my screen the list seems to skip from #1 to #11 with a tweet in the gap. Is the tweet covering up #2-10?

    I often think/wonder about what goes on in the Twins' clubhouse and how it affects the team's performance. In the last two years, the club has turned over some key figures that (from reports) have had big personalities, replacing them with players with very different apparent affect. Has this had a role in the Twins' decline? Of course, there have been many personnel changes, but we all recognized (and sometimes cursed) the "free spirit" attitude of Rosario. Gibson was enough of a leader to be the club player representative. In place of those two as key veterans we have Donaldson and Simmons, neither of whom *ever* looks to be enjoying himself, and Maeda, who still uses a translator for mound visits. These three are all players with great MLB success and all seem to have very professional approaches to the game. But do they bring the same chemistry to make their teammates better? Has that contributed to the poor performance and lack of success that have crushed fan enthusiasm? And what effect will subtracting Cruz and Berrios have on the clubhouse? And thoughts?
