    Geeze, Polanco looks like he can hit McHugh in his sleep!

    Bert has talked about it lots of times, and it's also true in tennis: If you want the ball to bite downwards, you have to punch your fingers over the ball at the release point. If you don't fire those finger missiles, the ball won't bite down. For instance, lots of people can swat a tennis serve very fast, but they have no idea why it sails flat and long. Opening up too soon and not jabbing your fingers are the two reasons the ball sails long. Same thing must be true with pitching. I wonder if Neil Allen just told Duffey that...

    Danny Santana just found out why the Twins need Murphy, Turner or Garver behind the plate. We gotta have a guy back there that can throw out runners. Seriously, batting average is a secondary concern.

    Did you see what McHugh just said after the ball went over Gomez's head? I could lip read: "WTF is he doing?"
  5. jimbo92107
    I am liking Jorge Polanco. This kid can flat out hit, and most of his hits are very flat.

    Even dumber than that... My buddy and I were trying to make nitroglycerin. The teacher wouldn't tell us how.

    When exactly is Juan Centeno gonna field a bouncer without it skipping away from him? I'd really like to see him block three in a row successfully.

    Way back in high school chemistry class, I met a kid that liked to screw around after class mixing chemicals randomly, like me and a buddy of mine. I noticed that he was missing the ends of a couple fingers. How did that happen? He'd been making gunpowder with a mortar and pestle. What?? He was grinding the powders...together?? He hadn't thought of that. My point is, when Tyler Duffey throws his flat four-seam fastball in the strike zone, he's asking for an unpleasant explosion. Duffey should never throw that pitch in the strike zone. You could lose a finger that way.

    The important thing for Duffey is getting his fingers over the top of the ball, so it bites downward. So far he's doing a great job of getting over the ball.

    I like what I'm seeing from Duffey. His heater is tailing down nicely. First two pitches to the second batter were impressive. First pitch was a couple inches low. Second pitch was two inches higher for a strike. That is called command.
  11. jimbo92107
    Whoa, what a play by Polanco!!
  12. jimbo92107
    That does seem a bit odd. Polanco seems to hit the ball where it's pitched.
  13. jimbo92107
    I predict this game will not end 0 to 0.
  14. jimbo92107
    McHugh and Duffey seem very similar as pitchers. Both have good curve balls, fairly good heaters.
  15. jimbo92107
    That time Sano resisted the impulse to swing at the 2-strike inside dirt-ball. Result: next pitch he roped into left field. Okay, so maybe he can make the adjustments... We'll see.
  16. jimbo92107
    What?? Wait! But... Aughhhh!!
  17. jimbo92107
    I am noticing that the camera operators are doing their best to limit crowd shots in this game. They can't help it when they do a close up of Ervin Santana because there's a big empty bunch of seats in the background... I wonder if they have ten thousand in the stadium.
  18. jimbo92107
    Snell looks like a good young pitcher to me. Rays seem to draft and develop one good pitcher after another.
  19. jimbo92107
    He must love living in Tampa. Tons of cocaine there, that's all I've heard about it...
  20. jimbo92107
    Sano clearly is overmatched in most of his AB's right now. He's also been playing lousy third base. A few weeks in Rochester might clear up both of those problems. I'm not saying he will face mlb level pitching in AAA. Part of his getting better will be discussing his hitting plan with different coaches, and then getting his confidence back by smashing some baseballs. The main difference is that the AAA games don't count against the Twins W/L record. That takes some pressure off Sano, which hopefully will allow him to implement the changes.
  21. jimbo92107
    Well, that's how you pitch Miguel Sano: 1. Low and outside, swinging strike. Now Sano feels like an idiot early. He's gonna be careful not to - 2. Called strike, middle in. - to look like a fool again. Whoops, probably should have swung at that one. This time... 3. Swinging strike three, inside in the dirt. Rinse and repeat, over and over. This is the main reason Sano needs to spend a few weeks in Rochester. Pitchers have discovered a sequence to get him out. Outside low, inside high, inside low in the dirt. He's really a sucker for the low inside dirt pitch with 2 strikes.
  22. jimbo92107
    Dang, and he so humble...Max everything.
  23. jimbo92107
    I do not see Milone's value as a bullpen guy. His game is finesse, not anything overwhelming. Maybe as a change of pace guy, or a long reliever?
  24. jimbo92107
    Ha! i guessed 108.5mph. Missed again. ;-(
  25. jimbo92107
    Dang, just the number of hissing line drives is awesome today.
