  1. Need to get this starter out of the game. Oakland's bullpen is awful.
  2. Foul ball, but holy **** what a terrible 0-2 pitch. Fine his ass
  3. I had a feeling the Twins starters would come back to the pack.
  4. I can only come up with half an answer: BOOOOOOOOO
  5. Anyone seen the new Indiana Jones flick? If so, review?
  6. Today's pop quiz: What do sea monsters eat?
  7. Big league DP right there. That was pretty.
  8. Julien's bat plays, but...he's really, really bad with a glove on. He absolutely doesn’t make plays.
  9. Damn. MAT had a chance to TIE A MLB RECORD and Ryan blew it by striking out Bleday.
  10. My bet: Tampa Bay shocks the world and trades for Ohtani as a rental. They have the prospects to get it done, anyone can afford 2 months of salary, and a team good enough to get max value out of adding an impact player. Book it. Second choice: Texas
  11. Regarding Jax, Put me down on the "glad Rocco didn't risk multiple innings from one of his few good options" side of the ledger. Jax pitched Friday. So now he's pitching back to back, one risk factor. There's also a widely held opinion that multiple inning use puts a lot of extra strain on arms...that sitting for a half inning, then resuming pitching, is different than 1 inning use. Another risk factor. IMO Rocco handled that just fine. Just another reminder there's no such thing as a low leverage reliever. Everyone in the pen is going to pitch at least sometimes with the game close. You can't just use a couple guys every time a game is close. My quibbles with Rocco would be he left Lopez in too long, and I wouldn't have let Ortiz pitch to Rooker as the go-ahead run in the 8th. I'd have used Duran for 1 out there, and let the other Lopez have the 9th. And that's not second guessing, I said it real time in game thread. But it worked out, even though Rooker missed a 3 run shot by a couple feet. We're lucky he hit that to dead center.
  12. There are many things I don't agree with about this article, but I'll start with Kenta Maeda's 2020 being one of the greatest seasons for a Twins starter in history. C'mon. Seriously? More low hanging fruit: Bert Blyleven's 1971, 72, and 75. Any Dave Goltz season mid to late 70s. Kevin Tapani 1991. Jim Kaat doesn't make your list ANYWHERE?
  13. Magic number 69! ... Hahaha. It's true .
  14. Not sure why, but this is somehow hilarious. "He was decent as a Met." Hahababa
  15. Man when Duran is on he is absolutely filthy.
