    Good to see gonzo struggle and fight threw it. Is it me or is our AAA team almost as bat at hitting as the big club?
  2. rghrbek
    Have we not seen what our best relievers are doing in Rochester? The guys with MLB experience? Are you kidding me? Enough, bring em up and stop abusing Pressley.

    Per Gleeman Ryan Pressly has now pitched in 37 of the Twins' first 71 games. Mike Marshall in 1979 is the only right-handed pitcher in Twins history to make more appearances in the first 71 games of a season. Also of note: Pressly has allowed multiple runs in four of his last seven outings. Molly has got to stop with this.

    Were not both their errors by Lindor? I am sure he will survive.

    "If the Twins win today they can still have a 3-3 road trip by only winning 1 in Cleveland which is ok. As long as they can hang around the .500 mark into the all star break the season is salvageable. Getting Polanco back and hopefully Santana in some decent form will make a difference." I have to disagree mildly here. Being .500 around the ASB really puts us in position for what? The only playoff spot is the division, and I expect Cleveland to be about 10 games over .500 by then. It's just too much for a flawed team like this to overcome. If our c-MVPs turn back into pumpkins, we are in some real, real trouble.

    per gleeman: Brian Dozier in "close and late" spots: 2014 - .177 AVG 2015 - .229 AVG 2016 - .177 AVG 2017 - .176 AVG 2018 - .159 AVG Career - .195 AVG Not only is his .195 AVG the worst in Twins history, it's the worst in MLB history among all players with at least as many plate appearances. We know he will get hot sooner or later, but we keep talking about Sano and Buxton torpedoing our season... This is one decision (by not signing Dozier this last off season) where I applaud the FO. Our offense is bad!!!!
  7. rghrbek
    I forgot Brock, got him confused with Mota, did Mota even steel bases?
  8. rghrbek
    I know I submitted my list but I am really bummed I left my name sake off the list...he's gotta be top 5 right?
  9. rghrbek
    R. Henderson Manny Mota (Can't remember if he was the guy with the old record) V. Coleman Ty Cobb W. Wilson Lots of more recent guys (well 80's) but I have no clue

    I think the Twins have until the ASB to make hay. If they can get consistent then all is not lost. Nick is right the pitching, starting, has been good. What we should expect. The offense has been anemic and a huge dissapointment. I would hope the FO and manager get a little more creative at SS, and our 4th outfielder and eventually catcher. Too many black holes. Cleveland's Rameriz has become a bona fide star in two years and one of the best players in MLB. They win that battle over our perceived star at that position (well we thought he was a star at this point last year).

    Grossman still have an option? Wouldn't mind seeing a platoon with Cave and LeMarre. Line up is still atrocious
  12. rghrbek
    Garver not good at catching the baseball....which is a problem when part of catching, is actually the name of your positional job description.
  13. rghrbek
    Love that lineup...against a lefty that should mean 4 hits, 1 run over 9?
  14. rghrbek
    I can give Reed the benefit of the doubt, because he has a track record with heavy usage. Pressly's track record is not so good when Molly leans on him.
  15. rghrbek
    Really well stated Nick. I think it was assumed by most that Buck would be average or better at the plate, and we were hoping that Sano would put up average numbers for him (I think most of us were not expecting him due to replicate last years first half to his recovery and getting back into baseball shape). I like me some Eddie R and Esco, but currently they are our core players... We all get aroused because Eddie is electric at times at the plate and entertaining, but let's just say his game is not..well rounded. Don't get me wrong his a big part of this team, but as you point out missing the production from what was supposed to be our biggest assets hurts and we are in trouble.
  16. rghrbek
    Loved that Molly let him pitch the 6th, pitch count be dammed@
  17. rghrbek
    More important for Gibby than his sinker is his breaking ball which is at a historic swing and miss rate, that is why he's been better. He's no longer a sinker ball pitcher but a strike out guy...which is the key to his success
  18. rghrbek
    Does he have more than two pitches? An ok 3rd pitch? I worry about starters who only profile two pitches...curious it wasn't 'Gonsoves
  19. rghrbek
    Dozier with a bullet home that barely hit dirt
  20. rghrbek
    I like the idea that Gibson should be dangled early and often. People over value pitching, and Kyle's performance over the last 4 months, has been very encouraging, but I am not a full believer yet. If we can get #3 starter assets, which I think we can because he has arbitration next year, then I would do it. I can't help with this feeling that he will turn back into a pumpkin. People who want us to trade Lance Lynn, are reaching. Do we really think that could possibly happen currently? Maybe a Hughes type trade, but nobody is giving us any value for Lynn, currently. Finally, I would trade some prospects, or other things for a catcher with a real future...I also would hold off on making any moves for the next month or so, to see where we end up. If we are out of it, then I could see a scenario following most of the op ed's piece suggests. I am still not willing to give up on Buck or Sano just yet.

    Ahhhh KC our slump busters
  22. rghrbek
    You have a chance to see what you have in Garver, so why not let him play more? You know what you have in Wilson. Which is not good.
  23. rghrbek
    ER takes a count to 3 and 1, and then crushes it. Just think if he lowered that 41% out of strike zone swing rate to 30%? He would be the player he was for a few months when he carried the team offensively
  24. rghrbek
    LoMo hitting slightly better and taking walks but continues not to do the little things, which is a big deal. This is a bad lineup as currently constructed. Winnable game yet again we are on the wrong end
  25. rghrbek
    As a person who is skeptical about Gibbs's success, I am willing to give him a break as the Brew Crew feels like they are more like us last year than we are. Good young hitting team. Hopefully our bats can wake up, its been a stretch where only a few players have been consistent. I am worried about Buck
