    Currently sporting a .250/.275/.364 line in Chat-town. Might be a while.

    Category #1 - Who will be the best hitter tonight for the Twins? "Pick the Click" Miguel Sano will NOT strike out even once tonight. Book it. Category #2 - How many strike outs tonight for Gibson? None! This is an AL game, at home. Ever hear of a little thing called the Designated Hitter?? Category #3 - How many stolen bases for the Twins tonight? Easy. None. Nobody reaches first base, nobody steals second. Category #4 - How many total broken bats tonight for both teams? None. Toronto squares everything up, and the Twins NERF bats bend but don't break. Tie breaker category: Total time of game 8.5 innings (see, I'm an optimist after all) ... Oh, and NICE JOB 'SPORTO!

    **This event is open to all people aged 18 and up. Must be present to win. Twins Daily does not take responsibility for any complaints or hurt feelings on part of the winners or losers. Belligerent behavior is not only allowed but encouraged. Please PM Chief to settle any and all disputes. Prizes vary and could create a tax issue with the IRS, State and local authorities. Twinssporto is not responsible for any illegal activity you decide to do on your own. Please drink responsibly tonight. I'm so tired of the Twins poor play I want to scream! I also don't like the "Rodney Experience". Why can't we seem to get the offense moving? If anyone in the Twins front office is playing tonight on this Game Thread you are automatically disqualified. You can't play until you field a better product. DO NOT READ THE FINE PRINT!!1!

    Being forced into adding Gregorio Petit to the 40 and 25 man is a good, overdue move??
  7. USAFChief
    Terrible news all around. Gregorio Petit added to 40 and 25 man. Not going to help. The lack of position player help on the 40 man coming out of spring training was a pretty obvious mistake. You can't replace Sano, but you can have something more useful than Petit. Enns for Garcia was a waste of time and a terrible idea for a team in contention one week after trading for Garcia last summer. Now 27 years old and almost certainly a "never was."

    Perhaps what we have here is a misunderstanding over terminology. "Drop off a cliff" = go from one established production level to a much, much lower permanent level in one season. "decline" = gradually go from one production level to a much lower level over the course of several seasons. I stand by my statement: few players actually "drop off a cliff." Most "decline." I guess of the above you could say Kubel did. Joe Mays had an obvious fluke season, then was injured and never match that level. I guess that's dropping off a cliff, but injury related drop offs aren't what we're talking about. In the specific case of Logan Morrison, I also don't believe it's likely he's "dropped off a cliff" and will never get back to something resembling his previous MLB career.

    Winner.

    actually, I think the chances of Grossman scoring are much higher than the chances they score if he doesn't go. That's anyone any time, but made even higher when it's Granserson in the OF and Adrianza due up.
  11. USAFChief
    two out, hit to the OF. I make em thrown out the runner every time.
  12. USAFChief
    Do we know that about Buxton?
  13. USAFChief
    concur.
  14. USAFChief
    Seriously, Van? Yes.

  16. USAFChief
    I had the same thought.
  17. USAFChief
    I would agree to the extent that it enrages me when he decides to leave an obviously tottering starter in a game, watches him give up a walk, line drive single, then a HR, and THEN decides to remove him, mid-inning. If you thought the guy had enough to start the inning, but he loses the game, well, then let him at least finish the inning. If the guy can't finish the inning, he never should have come out for it in the first place. I will say, though, that I don't think innings from starters is a huge factor in the Twins pitching problems. Few if any teams get consistent 6-7-8 inning starts any more. Where the difference lies is those teams bring in reliever after reliever that are often able to pitch a quick inning. Those guys then take a day or two off, and come back and do it again. The Twins main problem is they only have a couple guys trustworthy enough to pitch in close games, and they get overused, and the other guys can't get through an inning consistently, so they get overused as well.

    I don't think one "starts" to drop off a cliff. Perhaps you're thinking of "decline."

    Still looking for game thread vols for May 12, 13, and 23. Do The Right Thing! http://media.breitbart.com/media/2016/01/Spike-Lee.jpg

    We're both idiots. We're still here following this team.
  21. USAFChief

  22. USAFChief

    ick

    This isn't true. The 2017 Twins went 12-11 in April, 14-12 in May, 20-10 in August, and 14-14 in September. 14-15 in June. The only bad month they had was July, 10-15. They also weren't a fluky one-run game team: 15-18 in one-run games. They finished two games ahead of their pythagorean record. They finished just about exactly where their play dictated they should. They were a little better than a .500 team throughout the season. For the record I also don't agree their hot August was due entirely to who they played.

    Jeebus, some of you make it hard to be a Democrat. It's no wonder we can't win elections. Classy lady, let her rest in peace.
