    So Vazquez can't be expected to recognize balls from strikes against Hader while bunting, but you want him swinging away?? I guess I don't understand the logic.

    Chalk that run up to Gordon.

    Baldelli's post game presser makes me more irritated than the actual pisspoor play. What a complete pile of corporate-speak nonsense. "Well, it's tough to defend when a hitter squares." WHAT? It's literally your JOB to make sure your players execute the game properly. Jeez.

    I think another factor that comes into play is the number of games in which the offense struggles. The Twins have scored 3 or fewer runs 17 times this year. It's very difficult to win consistently when you score 3 or fewer runs. They also have another 5 games scoring 4. I can't find it, but I believe the magic number in MLB is 5. Score 5, and you'll win more often than lose. Score 4, and you'll lose more often than win. Obviously, 3 or fewer and you're increasingly losing more than winning. So, long story short, despite a few double digit games, the Twins offense is too consistently weak, scoring too few runs too often. Their starting pitching has been strong enough to have them slightly above water, and leading the weakest division in MLB, but I believe the offense has to improve or the team will struggle to stay ahead of even the ALC. And I don't really know where the consistent improvement will come from. Their lineup lacks a middle. Nobody is going to put up a 1.000 OPS.

    Nit pic, but the Twins are 17th in both runs scored and runs/game. https://www.baseball-reference.com/

    I loathe the upcoming robo-ump traveshamockery, but this challenge system is worse. Holy cow what a stupid idea.
  7. USAFChief
    Explain to me how this is true.

    Quantrill is decidedly below average. Probably in the bottom 25% of starters the Twins will face this year.

    6 game road trip, consisting of almost 6 5 games worth of innings...28 hits. Cure for insomnia.
  10. USAFChief
    Feels like today Miranda reached the end of the long leash he's gotten. Simply awful ABs.
  11. USAFChief
    Routine 4-3 PO.
  12. USAFChief
    I'd prefer at least 3...
  13. USAFChief
    Yes. Twins fans prefer them to fail. Makes sense. Thanks for stopping by.
  14. USAFChief
    I'm aggravated.
  15. USAFChief
    Just jog down the line on that strike 3 in the dirt, Gordon. You're a big leaguer. Hustling is so 1960s.
  16. USAFChief
    Today has to be the final straw, no? If Farmer is ready?
  17. USAFChief
    Gonna see a real MLB lineup with San Diego coming to town. Tatis, Machado, Soto, Bogaerts top 4. Ouch.
  18. USAFChief
    First pitch was literally 8 inches inside.
  19. USAFChief
    The pitcher doesn't have to be ready.
  20. USAFChief
    Sigh.
  21. USAFChief
    OMG Polonco
  22. USAFChief
    Nice play C4.
  23. USAFChief
    Got a few seconds of Audra chewing. Not a good look.
  24. USAFChief
    I've evolved to share this view. I mean, what IS he actually doing? Why do we take so many bad ABs? Lead MLB in Ks? Get so few hits?
  25. USAFChief
    Absolutely needed Vasquez, and he was a good signing, but this is why he was available.
