    Lopez can't get out of his own way right now.

    Center-cut, as TK used to say...

    Get away/give away Day...

    Baseball Savant show's that the HP ump is getting worse, but equally for both teams. This does not make it right and fuels the fire for automated strike zones, but also goes to show the self-importance of today's umpires. When faced with their demise, they don't step their game up to present an argument for keeping human umps behind the plate, they just go full IDGAF and who cares which teams are affected.

    9 IP, 9 ER, they have a point.....

    Who's this Vazquez guy? Haven't seen him all year...
  8. mnfireman
    WOW!! It's only the 4th inning. I guess I'd be more concerned about the Twins hitters than the Twins pitchers, but you go!!
  9. mnfireman
    This year's team does not seem to be a chip away at lead type team. But we can hope.....

    Ryan is just not having a good game. Hate to have to hope the offense picks him up...
  11. mnfireman
    Don't see the umpire hate, Ryan seems to have a pretty big strike zone while Bielak's seems to being called straight up.

    Sunday getaway/giveaway day, probably Castro...

    Gallo (4) and Kirilloff (2) responsible over 1/2 of them. 14 hits and 9 runs kind of glosses it over though...
  14. mnfireman
    He's been belt high, center of the plate the whole game. I was hoping it wouldn't catch up to him, but, alas...

    I was not a big proponent for automated strike zones and always told the kids I coached to adjust to the ump's zone, but this has become borderline ridiculous. Last night's home plate umpire graded out at 1.93 runs in favor of Toronto. The Twins were working the count and laying off of bad pitches, only to be called out looking several times on pitches out of the zone. How does a team adjust to an inconsistent umpire? While 5 hits is not a good game, an umpire rewarding wild pitching with strike calls literally took the bat out of the team's hands.

    Back to talking about trying to trade for this guy!! Not gonna happen, they will want more than the team should be willing to pay for 1.5 years.

    Right now Taylor has opposite splits, he's hitting righties but not lefties.

    This in when the ace rises to the top of the deck, so can Twins fans count on a win Wednesday? The starting pitching, for the most part, has not been the problem this season.
  20. mnfireman
    Well, Gardy averaged 82 wins a year and TK averaged 71 wins a year. Pick your Demi-Gods carefully...

    I believe he also including minor leagues, he said professional PA's, not MLB.

    Approach, approach, approach. Instead of trying to put the ball in play and take the SF or single, this team tries to hit the GS and put the game away. This results in a typical inning of a pop-out to an infielder, a K and a dribbler back to the pitcher and 0 runs scored.
  23. mnfireman
    I don't have too much of an issue with him sitting against left-hand pitching until we see how the wrist is holding up a little more long term. MLB doesn't have a great track record right now of pitchers being able to throw inside without hitting batters, and I would hate to see him suffer a setback due to getting hit by a pitch by a pitcher who has no idea of where the ball is going.

    While a front office should be in tune with the fan base (they are the one's buying tickets and merchandise), personnel decisions should not be made based on comments on social media. Baseball is too cyclical, players have terrible stretches followed by hot stretches, to base decisions on fanbase (over)reactions. As far as Pagan is concerned, if the team had received a viable trade offer, I believe they would have pulled the trigger. Just because rumors state that a player is in other teams radars because of peripherals, doesn't mean that an offer, or at least a reasonable offer, was tendered. And let's be real here, he never stood a chance here because of the fanbase's love for Rogers (who once again is performing terribly). Pagan's numbers (results and peripheral) are the same or better than Jax's numbers and the fanbase loves Jax. I believe we will see Lewis in early June when either his performance dictates it or injury forces it. But let's not be too upset when Rocco sticks him in CF again, its going to happen.

    Well, Miranda is slashing .227/.250/.227 .477 OPS @ St. Paul, not exactly tearing it up...
