    Tomorrow's home plate umpire will probably be worse.....
  2. mnfireman
    At least they're letting the guy hitting under .200 do the damage, not Ramirez.

    Why aren't Larnach and Gordon the DH and LF tonight??
  4. mnfireman
    A 9 pitch inning works for me....

    So 7/$220 MM seeing how he signed for 3/$105MM, total of 10/$325 MM. If both sides could agree to front load it a little bit and/ or put in an opt out after year 5 or 7 years (when he is no longer an elite SS but a good 2B or 3B) I think it could be a win-win. He has stated he likes it here, he would be playing most of the contract with Buxton, Arraez and whichever of the young guys develops and the team keeps, and his post-season experience and club house presence would help immensely.

    If you count the last 4 games he played before being sent back to AAA, Kirilloff is slashing .300/.333/.400 for an OPS of .733, which puts his OPS+ around 115 (Kepler's season OPS is .735 for an OPS+ of 115). SSS I know, but TD posters tend to manipulate player stats to fit their narrative of a player. He has also been shifted on 40 of 42 plate appearances this season, but hit 4 of 7 balls in play to left over the weekend. Continuing to do so may force opponents to play him more straight up, opening up the field a little more. His exit velocity this weekend was also 96.2. Perhaps good things lie ahead. Oh yeah, Celestino is 1-9 and Larnach is 2-12 over their most recent appearances, so they obviously aren't MLB ready either.

    The Guardians did what the Twins couldn't, beat generally weaker competition. They are 16-6 in their last 22 games, in which they played Detroit, KC, Baltimore, Oakland, Colorado and the slumping Dodgers (9-11 in their last 20). They actually lost 2 of 3 to Detroit to start this stretch. The Twins actually won 2 of 3 the last time Cleveland came to town, the loss coming in extra innings, with Gray, Smeltzer and Ryan giving the team decent starts.

    Is a 5 run lead gonna be enough????
  9. mnfireman
    I thought the CF had a chance at Sanchez at home, don't know why he didn't throw it...
  10. mnfireman
    Breathing room....
  11. mnfireman
    Ball 4 in the CF's glove....
  12. mnfireman
    Another guy batting .150 hurting the Twins....
  13. mnfireman
    How close does Arozarena stand to the plate?? Did he try to get out of the way either time??
  14. mnfireman
    Good the pitchers can get these sub .150 hitters out.....
  15. mnfireman
    GONE.....CC4
  16. mnfireman
    Had 7.04 ERA @ Wichita when traded to TB....
  17. mnfireman
    Good inning by Jax to pick Smeltzer up.
  18. mnfireman
    You are correct. I would have to assume that Kepler saw how deep the ball was hit and assumed Gordon would catch it (Gordon was well in front of the wall and the ball did not hit very high on the wall). The ball then caromed back towards center field and it take Kepler a moment to get to it. Bad OF defense all theway around on that play.
  19. mnfireman
    You go after the ball until called off.
  20. mnfireman
    No. Kepler had a chance for the catch, especially with it being Gordon instead of Buxton.
  21. mnfireman
    Smeltzer's done....
  22. mnfireman
    Anybody think Gordon is a MLB CF after that....
  23. mnfireman
    He's been employed by the team since the 80's
  24. mnfireman
    Nice reads on batted balls tonight, getting extra bases is always good.
  25. mnfireman
    So, looking back through the TK and Gardy years, every player, coach, etc... was given a nickname. TK always makes a point to call Bremer Richard, not Dick or RB or DB or Brem. Does he not consider him part of the "team" after all these years. And why not?
