    Yo Wallner, what's this measely 99.3 mph? Stop bunting!
  2. jimbo92107
    Okay, good so far...
  3. jimbo92107
    The book on Lee appears to be something like, work him low, then outside, then finish him off with high heat. Probably he's never faced pitchers that could execute that strategy. Time to adjust...

    It is so cool to see Sim making it. They knew he was talented, and then his heater went away, and then he got it back, got to the Show... and now, he's looking like a very good major league pitcher!

    Man, Sim's command was right on in that inning. He's really moving the ball around, and when he needed a high heater, he nailed the top of the zone. I can see why hitters are frustrated. They have no idea where the next pitch is going, yet Sim can throw a tough strike when he needs to.

    Can't criticize Wallner for a 114 mph scalding line drive out. Did that screamer get ten feet off the ground?
  7. jimbo92107
    How did the Twins luck into Carlos Santana? The guy looks like he's at the height of his career, not the tail end. Also, Sim is doing some good pitching, moving the ball around, not giving them a pattern. He is more deceptive than I realized.

    Red Sox value hitters with plate discipline. Eddie Julien today is a good hitter and a rapidly improving second baseman. When Royce gets back, Twins can slide Lee to 2B, Royce back to 3B.

    Rollercoaster game. I am entertained.

    Larnach hit that one high in the air, then waited for the earth to rotate underneath it. Home run!
  11. jimbo92107
    I like Alcala's live arm, but damn...start with a slow curve or something. His command is so inconsistent. As a late reliever, he should have a pretty simple mix. Nail the 4 corners with heat. Have a get me over change, and have a decent breaking slider. Save the slow curve for the first pitch, which almost nobody swings at. Successful bullpen arms have gotten by with that mix forever.

    And they were real strikes, too.
  13. jimbo92107
    Pablo rung the bell 4 times on that at bat. Plate ump missed two of them.
  14. jimbo92107
    I think that to the end for me, when I hear the name, Joe Mauer, I will smile.
  15. jimbo92107
    I'm seeing a plate ump that looks pretty good. Is he actually calling real balls and strikes?
  16. jimbo92107
    Been watching videos of "bullpen" teaching sessions. Some of them throw hard, some of them can make the ball curve... Then I watch Pablo Lopez. He makes the bullpen boys look like little kids. Pablo is throwing the ball within inches of where he wants. Still, pro hitters are so damn good, it takes overwhelming stuff to get them out.

    When healthy, Randy Dobnak has been a pretty reliable ground ball pitcher. I pull for him because of his back story, a personal struggle through satellite leagues. He actually looked good before he started getting stymied by little injuries, especially the one to his forefinger. Hard to throw a baseball before that completely heals.
  18. jimbo92107
    At this point, Alex Kirilloff definitely could use a fresh start. His time in Minnesota has been very frustrating. Maybe the trainers in LA can do a better job of keeping him healthy. Sigh, I thought he was going to be that golden kazoo - a high-average power hitter. Sadly, one injury after another stifled his career here. As for Reid Detmers, if not for his 94 mph heater, I'd be more worried that his ragged command was a symptom of a physical problem. This team has brought in so many pitchers that went straight from the 40-man to the 60-day IL... and then they reveal their elbow is falling off. If the Twins do a deal like this, I really hope they double down on the physical exam.
  19. jimbo92107
    Biggest problem with Brooks Lee appears to be that there's only one of him. He looks like the team's best fielder at 3rd, 2nd, and...hasn't had a chance at SS yet. Should they call up Yunior Severino?
  20. jimbo92107
    Dang, Wallner... No Hall of Fame player would stand there and take a pitch that close. That was a very hittable pitcher.
  21. jimbo92107
    Love what the catcher did on the 3rd strike to Robert. Just as Ober was in his motion, catcher brushes his glove on the inside corner, showing some motion and sound. Ober threw his cutter on the outside corner. Strike Three. Nice.
  22. jimbo92107
    I'd be tempted to get Scherzer just to mentor Louie Varland in AAA. The similarities in mechanics are close enough, maybe Max could give Louie a few key tips...
  23. jimbo92107
    I think you have just discovered an update to, "Trouble with Tribbles." The Copy Cat is infinitely worse!
  24. jimbo92107
    On a slightly different topic... Whatever happened to Schrodinger's cat? It's been a hundred years...anybody open the box?
  25. jimbo92107
    I will say I like how the Twins are managing Chris Paddack. Quit thinking he's an innings horse. Give him a week off when he needs it, don't drive him too hard. Hell, let him skip a turn now and then, This way, he might last a whole season without needing another elbow job. The team's got enough AAA starters on the edge of making it, so use them to spell Paddack, and others. In a way, this team is loaded with talent. The starters are stacked, and St Paul is a wellspring of excellent reserves. Maybe this IS the year the Twins do a little something...
