  1. I thought I'd stick to what I consider a valid comparison...the guy that took his place on the field. With RBI, a measure of production I consider incredibly important to winning.
  2. "two solid MLB ready arms (one starter and one reliever) who are under team control for a year or two who might not be post-season ready, for Gibson or Odorizzi, the Twins should think long and hard about pulling the trigger on this." What does this even mean? "MLB ready arms who are under team control for a year or two?" What, precisely, do you mean by this? Wouldn't "MLB ready" arms be under team control for 6 years? I read "MLB ready" as in the minors, but ready for call up. Do you mean pitchers currently in MLB, but with control through 2020? We should give up on 2019, on the idea that pitchers who aren't of any help in 2019 to their current team will be helpful to the Twins in 2020? "might not be post season ready"...what does THAT mean? I'm sorry, I can't even figure out what the OP is proposing. And I guess I don't care. Trading Odorizzi or Gibson this summer is not something the Twins should think about. In any context.
  3. CJ Cron has as many RBI through yesterday's game as Mauer had for the entire 2018 season.
  4. I believe this is the second time you have correctly pointed this out. If only Dickbert would lurk the game thread.
  5. I dont think it's so much the actual walk, as what the additional walk(s) say about command. If you're missing outside the strike zone, you're most likely missing inside the strike zone as well. And those pitches down the middle are the ones that can really cause damage. Last night, for example, the leaded walk in the 5th hurt, but no more than a lead off single. It was the cookie to Cuthbert that really did the damage. If that pitch is on a corner, it's a lazy fly out.
  6. “Plate discipline” is not Sano’s problem. Contact is the problem.
  7. Over his last five starts, Perez’s ERA has gone from 2.95 to 4.28. 24 IP, 20 earned runs.
  8. Mrs Chief still drives a Civic.
  9. I thought I was past the point this season where I would feel a massive sense of relief to get a win in KC.
  10. Should'a put Astudillo at 3rd and Sano in right... ///ducks
  11. I wish I had been umping. "How can I hit what I can't see?"
  12. He's no Jason Tyner. Much less power.
  13. They really, really need to get some late inning bullpen help here stat. Can't keep running Rogers out there for 5 or 6 outs every time they have a lead.
  14. The ump didn't swing through that hanging breaking ball for strike 3.
  15. I really don't question too much leaving Harper in to start the 8th, but if you're warming Rogers anyway, why not start the inning with him?
