    I know its only May, but this felt like a pretty big win.
  2. USAFChief
    For the record I give Pagan the 8th.
  3. USAFChief
    Not to repeat myself...oh who am I kidding... 2 out RBI, the eternal key to baseball.
  4. USAFChief
    Pagan for another inning?

    On the other hand, Roughed is only on a one year contract. Soon the Padres will likely be Odor-less Tasteless, I know.
  6. USAFChief
    Don't throw good money after bad. There's little to no benefit to any kind of contract. Trade turned out horribly, learn and move on.
  7. USAFChief
    Tough news, but not surprising.
  8. USAFChief
    It was clear? I don't think the ball hit the ground. His glove did, with the ball in his glove.
  9. USAFChief
    It's the 3rd base ump's call and he was in position ~10 feet away staring directly at the catch.

    AKA "strikout not looking"

    From Chief Jr Jr: "Larnach in St Paul."
  12. USAFChief
    Winnah!
  13. USAFChief
    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.
  14. USAFChief
    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.
  19. USAFChief
    Explain to me how this is true.
  20. USAFChief
    Quantrill is decidedly below average. Probably in the bottom 25% of starters the Twins will face this year.
  21. USAFChief
    6 game road trip, consisting of almost 6 5 games worth of innings...28 hits. Cure for insomnia.
  22. USAFChief
    Feels like today Miranda reached the end of the long leash he's gotten. Simply awful ABs.
  23. USAFChief
    Routine 4-3 PO.
  24. USAFChief
    I'd prefer at least 3...
  25. USAFChief
    Yes. Twins fans prefer them to fail. Makes sense. Thanks for stopping by.
