    Darvish at one point in the game appeared to have some sort of elbow trouble. He shook his arm around kinda funny. He continued to pitch, but didn't do so well? Maybe there is an issue? Hope not.

    Yeah some lefty in today's day and age of over shifts could end up hitting .400 if they can do that to those shifts. When Rod Carew hit .388 he only needed another 8 hits throughout the course of that season and he would have hit .400. now no one over shifted back then and no one would have over shifted Carew. But it's possible a more powerful guy could challenge the .400 barrier and see a lot of shifts?

    That's not a very good use of Rodney? Id think that would be the perfect time to bring in Pressley or one of those guys. Bring Rodney in only when you have the lead, to me that is a plain as it gets?

    I think the first pitch of the 2018 season was a big fly!

    Hey guys take it easy on Polanco, I talked to his doctor and he isn't sure why anyone is making such a fuss about this. He said that Polanco was diagnosed with Low T over the winter and they were just trying to remedy that.

    True, and I'm not going to look it up myself, because my gut tells me what my answer would be, but just for giggles, what was his career OPS in Fenway?
  8. Twodogs
    I think playing in Fenway had more to do with Ortiz than possible juicing. I mean look how Mo Vaughn did when he left Fenway and landed in Anaheim. I think big left-handed bombers can put together Hall of Fame careers turning out side fastballs into doubles off the wall in Boston. Anywhere else they are fly balls.

    My guess is that Kinley has made it this far, he's going to stick around for a month and if he does ok he'll get another month. If he does well for a couple of months then he's here for the duration and goes to AAA next year. Just my guess at this point.

    Yeah all those off days at the beginning of the year seems weird, it always seems to be like this, but wouldn't you think a few extra off days in the middle of the season would make it easier to schedule make up games?

    Maybe cinci will use him in a trade for something else?

    How many more cuts do the twins need to make?
  14. Twodogs
    Idk, I'll give him a chance for sure, seems like his only really bad year was last year? Still has the stuff, seemed to do ok the previous 3 or so years, kinda hard to give up on him.

    Wonder if Lance is pissed now that Cobb signed 4 years 56 million?
  16. Twodogs
    His August sinker and curveball are 3 - 4 inches apart? How does that even happen if your not Hildenberger??

    This, I know there are kids in high school taking stuff and most everyone else knows too, but no one says anything. It is still going on.
  19. Twodogs
    Yeah that's for sure, it's definitely not my money. But how much money does Pohlad lose if they have a bad season?? Idk, maybe none, maybe it's a wash?
  20. Twodogs
    So he is topping out at 87 - 88. I see there was one pitch that hit 89, but good luck with that. I saw a week or so ago he was throwing 89 - 90 so that's probably not a good sign that he is slowing down.
  21. Twodogs
    I'm not really convinced that that article says that he is for sure bullpen bound? It said he is going to remain on a starters schedule for the remainder of spring training. Also, I don't get that if he pitches so horrible why would the Twins put him in a mop up/long relief role? Wouldn't you still want one of your best 13 pitchers to be on the roster?? I mean if he is toast, why keep him on the roster at all?? Bring up one of the young guys to be the long man in the pen? Idk, it just seems to me that Phil will get probably 3 starts at the beginning of the season to see what he can do. If for some reason he can average 5 - 6 innings and 3 - 4 earned runs in those 5 - 6 innings, (which is not good by the way), he will probably get another 3 starts. Until he completely melts down he will probably be in the rotation until Santana comes back. Basically if he can throw one or two quality starts in those first 3 games he will get a few more. But if he is so bad that he shouldn't be starting, (which I am on board with everyone else on), then why would they want him as a long man? Just cut him, I say give him a shot for the rest of Spring training and if he does ok give him a couple of starts. But if you aren't confident in him, just get rid of him, let him try and pick up with someone else.

    It seems that most pitchers that strikeout a lot of guys have high pitch counts.
  23. Twodogs
    I too hope Vargas hooks on with a team and provides 25 - 30 bombs for someone. Good luck Kennys.
  24. Twodogs
    Yeah however with Berrios, he was selected as the futures all star starting pitcher for two years in a row!! So Gonsalves and Romero at this point in time are not at the same level as Berrios was. They seem to be close, but not quite there yet, hopefully they do that in AAA this year and then next year they can take over for guys like Lynn when they walk??
  25. Twodogs
    Let's get the show on the road!!! One of the first years that I can't wait until spring training is over.
