  1. Yes, but in their defense, it's not like it was the 3-4-5 hitters, all with the platoon advantage.
  2. The Twins add to their lead and still manage to disappoint me.
  3. Per Gleeman: to date, in 2021, LH hitters have combined to hit. 285/.358/.512 against Minnesota Twins pitching. Justin Morneau was a career .281/.341/.481 hitter.
  4. Really, really nice to hear Jim Kaat again. I wonder how many fans know Jim Kaat's MLB career spanned 25 years...and his broadcast career has lasted 35, including twice as an analyst for the ************** Yankees. Anywho, he's absolutely fantastic behind a mike.
  5. So let me get this straight....there's a clock "somewhere in each stadium" that lets managers and umps know if they have time to challenge a call, and.... THE MANAGER OF THE MINNESOTA TWINS DOESNT KNOW AHEAD OF TIME WHERE THAT CLOCK IS??!? That's either a bald faced lie, or an admission that Rocco and his staff are woefully unprepared to do their job. And further, don't take their job seriously. How is it possible he doesn't know that piece of "grounds rules" information? In ANY stadium, much less a division rival where the Twins play 8 or 9 times a year? Did KC recently move this clock? And if so, how is that any excuse? This may sound trivial to some of you, but I do not concur. If true--and why would he lie to us about it--it's an incredibly damning indication he doesn't give his job anywhere near the attention it deserves. What else isn't important enough for him to care about? For the record, it also seems impossible to believe that after Friday night's game, he doesn't know what the plan is for Saturdays pitching. No injury, nothing unusually short about Happ's start, no unusual reliever usage. Nothing. But he has no idea who's pitching THE NEXT DAY?
  6. 3-0 lead after 1. Stop me if this sounds familiar.
  7. Wouldn't be a Twins game without handing out a free run or three.
  8. So far, Looks like the movable object will be able to overcome the resistable force.
  9. Fun fact: Sal Perez has 116 career home runs, and 117 of them have come against the Twins. You could look it up!
  10. I'd buy a new record by the Beatles. Or a new record by Steely Dan.
  11. If Jonathan Swift is so hot, why hasn't any of HIS stuff been turned into a Broadway musical??
  12. If I counted correctly, the Twins staff managed seven 1-2-3 innings in the three game Chicago series. Yeesh.
  13. Possibly. Or I just like messing with Brock.
  14. Big chance here for the Twins 7th 1-2-3 inning of this series. Don't blow it, Law.
  15. Is the game within 8 runs either way?
  16. I'll wager anything you want Baldelli doesn't win multiple super bowls.
  17. In 9 games this year vs the Sox, the Twins currently have a -40 run differential.
  18. Need more info...are there important runs waiting to be driven in?
  19. I'd start with "mandatory infield tomorrow at 4, followed by mandatory BP. During infield we'll be focusing on cutoffs, positioning, and situational throws,. During BP, I want everyone to focus on contact." Same schedule Saturday, starting 3 hours before game time. Same schedule every day next week."
