    I swear, Busenitz has closer stuff. That fastball low on the outside corner, down plane, zap. Reminds me of Joe Nathan.

    Twins starters will be Tim Melville, then Dillon Gee for the second game. I guess they're waiting for September to bring up Gonsalves.

    I've heard that hitting is contagious. Looks like there's a bug burning through the whole Twins system. Stay sick, boys!
  4. jimbo92107
    Darn fine game. Hard to criticize much about that one.
  5. jimbo92107
    What, Turley is now the closer? Or does every pitcher get in this one?
  6. jimbo92107
    It's like half the guys in the order are one-upping each other. Love to see that spirit.

    Rosario wants to bash one so hard...!
  8. jimbo92107
    Mien gut, dat one made a dent. Sanoooooo!
  9. jimbo92107
    Ah, that's too bad, DP grounder. On the other hand, Sano looks hungry.

    I'm just glad Dozier was able to chip in a humble contribution.

    Slightly off topic, but computers were mentioned... I just finished swapping out a mechanical for an SSD hard drive in an HP laptop. Transferring the OS wasn't hard, but opening the case was frustrating because the so and so's hid a couple screws under little silver bits of tape. Gaaarrr! Finally found them by flexing the keyboard until I zoned in on where they had to be...under those tape tabs. Wherefore such cruelty, case designers?? Finally got 'er done, fired it up, no problems. Moral: If at all possible, boot off an SSD. Gracious, but they do have brisk performance. And now, back to baseball...

    Are they going to use Duffey for a 4-out finish? Save Belisle for the next game.
  13. jimbo92107
    Okay, let's remember they still need to get 6 more outs without giving up 5 runs.
  14. jimbo92107
    Rosario is hitting giant beach balls. He's really seeing it.
  15. jimbo92107
    I was just thinking, I don't care if Sano hits a homer, I just want to see him hit a ball really hard. Oh that's right...when he hits one really hard, it goes a long way.
  16. jimbo92107
    Well, it turned out okay. Low BA against lefties works for me.
  17. jimbo92107
    Where is Molitor's faith in Hildenberger? Give the kid a few more pitches to get three outs!
  18. jimbo92107
    Sano's "misstep" was him realizing that he had no chance. I'm pretty sure he was thinking, "Oh shucks" in Spanish.
  19. jimbo92107
    The kids are growing up fast. Kepler, Sano, Polanco, Rosie, and Buxton.
  20. jimbo92107
    Problem with Buxton getting a cycle is, he might have to stop at first when he'd normally go to second.
  21. jimbo92107
    Wow, welcome to the Byron Buxton show!
  22. jimbo92107
    I would like to see Buxton's home run again. Maybe they'll show it after the break.

    Went back and watched Slegers from inning 1 through 6. Very tall, downhill plane, throws like a shortstop with the ball cocked behind his ear, long stride gets on the hitter suddenly. Slegers has excellent control, and I expect it will get even better as he calms down on the mound. We didn't see much of his off-speed stuff tonight, but it looks like h delivers it with almost exactly the same motion as his fastball, making it very hard to read as the ball suddenly appears from behind his head. Though his fastball tops out at about 93, his forward release point and masking the ball behind his head cuts the hitter's recognition time down almost like he's throwing mid to upper 90s. If Slegers develops a good change, that could be a deadly strikeout pitch. As is, his control of the fastball keeps hitters from barreling it up, which is why he produces a lot of easy outs. That forward release gives hitters very little time to figure out what he's throwing. I saw a lot of emergency swings.

    Here's the problem: For some reason Grossman was yelling, "I got it I got it I got it," and Buxton didn't say anything. Both men are converging on the ball, eyes up, and Buxton cuts in front of Grossman without a word. I agree that Buxton should catch that ball, but as the boss of the outfield, he's supposed to yell loudly to call off Grossman. Why didn't he? This is another detail that Twins coaches will have to work on with Buxton.

    When I first saw Trevor Hildenberger pitch for the Twins I thought he was a flash in the pan, that hitters would study a little video and then they'd be all over his little submarine curves and slow stuff. Boy, was I glad to be wrong. What Hildenberger appears to have is a very high level of command, especially of his change and his curve. He is legitimately a crafty, skilled pitcher whose bulldog attitude reminds me a little of Eddie Guardado.
