    You mean Column A is actually a 5th Column?
  2. PDX Twin
    I move that this weekly feature be renamed "Weak in Review" until further notice,
  3. PDX Twin
    Our expensive thirdbaseman who was brought in (partially) to solidify the infield defense.

    Thielbar is no Saint ,,, but he should be by tomorrow.
  5. PDX Twin
    Every time I see Simmons, I get the impression that he really doesn't care. No energy, no emotion, just up there to go through the motions and collect his paycheck. Did he look like that when he played in LA?

    What's the expected number of Oakland runs for this game? I'm guessing 8.
  7. PDX Twin
    I don't suppose that the A's could pull a Twins and not score again this inning...

    Not seeing a lot of (any) masks in the crowd. Lots of people pretending to be vaccinated? Or has Minnesota decided to pretend they have achieved herd immunity.
  9. PDX Twin
    Hats are hideous!

    The Internet says that "sod poodle" an old name for a prairie dog. Kind of makes up for losing the Jumbo Shrimp and the Iron Pigs as opponents.

    This should have happened a couple of weeks ago, after losing in Oakland and Seattle. Now it's too late and there's only a shell of a team (mentally and medically) to try to roust.
  12. PDX Twin
    Yes. When the team is playing as it is now, a rainout is like Christmas: No L, No L!

    The Twins seem like losers. The stars that they have brought in for veteran leadership (e.g., Cruz and Donaldson) haven't really had a record of ever winning championships. The youngsters don't seem to play at their best under pressure. The team always seems to find a way to lose despite sometimes having great statistics and advanced metrics. Contrasts: Jack Morris. He never had gaudy statistics and I'd bet that his advanced metrics were poor. But he was a winner. He dominated in the pressure situations and had a winning personality that made his teammates into winners. I don't think that the Twins have anyone like that right now. Puckett and Hrbek: They found a way to win. Kirby put the team on his shoulders in 1991 and Hrbek put Ron Gant on his shoulders in order to win. Gagne faked out Lonnie Smith coming around second and probably saved a game. Who on this club is a winner or inspires a winning attitude in his teammates?

    Bye.
  15. PDX Twin
    Bases loaded and one out. Time to root for a K!
  16. PDX Twin
    Where the heck was Cave playing on that triple? Somewhere in St. Paul maybe?
  17. PDX Twin
    Pretty much every pitcher he faces sends him down...
  18. PDX Twin
    K Sano, Sano. We all wait to see strike three. It happens inevitably. K Sano, Sano.
  19. PDX Twin
    St. Paul the team or St. Paul the man? Divine intervention could be useful for this team.
  20. PDX Twin
    Is it worse for a rainout to wipe out a 2-0 lead or for the bullpen to do so? We all know it's one or the other, right?
  21. PDX Twin
    Doesn't Omaha play on the same field where Larnach won the CWS with Oregon State? Good vibes for him!
  22. PDX Twin
    And now BB is out for a month with a hamstring...
  23. PDX Twin
    And that's a tactical decision by the widely revered (on this site) front office and manager: No bunts. No stolen bases. Swing for the fences with a high launch angle. Don't even try to punch the ball to beat the shift (unless you're Arraez). Zillions of strikeouts are an acceptable side effect of the above. After 60 years, it's too late to find a new team, but not too late to alter the priority of the sports I follow, and baseball is slipping.
  24. PDX Twin
    That's because we used it up in the 4th.
  25. PDX Twin
    Aren't we supposed to get a lead at this point for the bullpen to lose?
