  1. Fun win. I wonder if any of it can be attributed to playing better competition? And playing up to try to match them? It’s got to get repetitive and boring to play the Royals and Tigers for like half a month straight.
  2. I’ve felt like Jax is far less effective in multiple inning appearances, so I just took a look and he’s given up 7 runs in his multi inning games vs just two in times he goes one inning
  3. Was that a hit for Palacios or an error on Baez? I’m watching on mute for… reasons
  4. Curious to see how far Smeltzer can go here. An efficient inning here would be nice ??
  5. Do you know what his injury was that kept him out the last few days?
  6. I thought he looked pretty good. Cringed when he did a head first slide that seemed unnecessary, but he popped up just fine from that too.
  7. Love it. Certainly some SSS at play, but he seems like an important bench piece (and yes I’m dreaming on what he could do in the post season).
  8. But but but there was just an article on TwinsDaily talking about how Baldelli’s back and managing the bullpen so well!
  9. Really good perspective I hadn’t thought about. Thanks. I had initially thought: he looks like he belongs up here- they can’t send him down, but after reading this, I’d be totally fine if they send him to AAA in the interests of the future of SS for the Twins
  10. Interesting angle to highlight one game where his managing decisions paid off. I’d agree that after Duffey and Thielbar performed poorly, Rocco effectively changed how he uses them. I appreciate that, but overall I don’t get the sense that he’s doing markedly better this year.
  11. I get that he’s a first overall pick, but for a rookie who didn’t play the last two years, Royce Lewis sure looks comfortable. I’d imagine they’ll shift him to 3rd and Urshela to first when Correa comes back? They wouldn’t send him down, right?
  12. Good thread and it’s interesting to think about. What I’ve gotten from Buxton and Baldelli’s quotes is that there’s a plan. And it’s to get him to 100 games and they’re sticking to the plan. I guessssss I’m ok with that though it really, really stung not to have him pinch hit in Saturday night’s game especially in the 10th inning when one hit would’ve either tied or won it. Just feel like you gotta throw anything at it you can to try to win in a situation like that.
  13. Yep. And to repeat what’s being said on Twitter a lot: why in God’s name was Buxton unavailable to pinch hit at all. So weird- the playoffs are not a given so why do they act like they need to keep everyone healthy for it?
  14. Ooooh. Excited for Balazovic, SWR and Povich tomorrow. Thanks for this write up!
  15. And I love how Morneau just casually says “fastest pitch ever for a Twins pitcher”
  16. Maybe getting plunked will get Kiriloff going? ??‍♂️
  17. Wow. I’ve been nervous about the bullpen but maybe I have no reason to be.
  18. Nice work, Griffin Jax! All the pitchers actually. Duffy really needed that clean, high leverage inning and Pagan batted.
  19. Get Miranda (1B) and Lewis (CF for a while) up here. They can’t do any worse than what’s currently on the field
