    How do we respond to the Cleveland trade? With pitching. Period. We need it desperately. That Yankee series showed it in glaring light. This is a one-and-done team if we succeed in making the playoffs as it is. Well, if anything happens, pitching-wise, it will be welcome. The Tribe picked up a couple of big bats, and they'll get a couple of front-line pitchers back themselves soon. For Dog's sake, we've got a lot of 40-man decisions coming up, and not enough room for all our young sluggers. We run the risk of losing some guys with nothing in return. There is no reason not to find a deal.

    I don't know about that no-trade clause. He may be sore at us, because we used to spank him pretty hard back when he was a Royal. Heh....

    Good, solid win today. Jeepers, I didn't notice, though, we have 10 games left with the Tribe! 10! Fortunately, 7 of 'em at our park, but that's a lot of time to tell which team is going to finish on top. On another note, I don't get the crying about how Cleve. has a 'soft' schedule these days- all teams play the same sched, and the month of August will be as soft on us as it will be tough for them- so, July and Aug are going to be a wash. Let's see if the boys can make some hay next month when it's our turn through the Chi-KC-Detroit portion, while Cleveland deals with the Yanks, Red Sox, and Rays.

    Great list, Mikey! I can't even rank all those games myself, they're all a great jog down memory lane! I went down the youtube rabbit hole for a while after that... My first Twins memory was that 65 season. I remember crying like a 6 year old when they lost that game 7. Cuz... I was a 6 yr-old, I guess... What a sweet list! Thanks for posting this!

    Heh... I was watching that playoff game in '87 with the gang at Stub and Herb's in Dinkytown. That pickoff play between Laudner and Gaetti was a dagger! I have never found any video of that game, anywhere, as much as I'd love to see that again.

    It does seem rather far-fetched as an option, but.... with this FO, who knows? And as for a dour demeanor-- hell, I WANT my starter to have a demeanor as dour as possible when he takes that mound! I want him to wanna beat the snot out of whoever's in that batter's box!

    I don't think I'm going out on a limb here, but I believe that Yankee series would have turned out a little differently with Bux in the lineup all 3 games.

    And he was our one-and-only "big name" Pen signing of the offseason.

    Sucks that we lost, but by gum, that was so untypical of a Twins loss to the Evil Empire. Times past, they'd have laid down long before the 9th, even. But the way they kept battling was inspiring. On another note, why, oh why, has there been no BP help coming via trade since the Break, or even before? It's not like this has been a secret all along, just coming to bite us in the @$$ now? My God, Falvine- we have a plethora of young OFers, and 1B-DH types, not all of whom are going to fit on the 40 when the time comes. The need is now- actually, the need is months ago, so don't let us give up possible chips for nothing in a couple of years, when we had a chance to do something now!

    Mum's da woid.

    Agreed. Arraez and Polanco should have been flipped in the order at least a couple of weeks ago. Jorge looks completely fatigued lately, and his BA is in free fall.
  13. David HK
    Moider dem Yanks! Moider 'em, I say!
  14. David HK
    Dude-- I'm a day ahead, remember. So, anyway, about that Yanks game.....
  15. David HK
    Or sold for scrap, like the rest of the M-boys in the bullpen so far.
  16. David HK
    Always a big thanks for these reports- they're an especially good read after a tough MLB loss. Heh... "Bailey Ober bounced back nicely in this one after allowing a season high three-earned runs..." I think the big club would gladly take that from any of their pitching staff these daze...

    I'm thinkin' Trevor better be making a reservation at Murray's, to treat Ehire and Max to the biggest butter-knife steaks on the menu. Maybe he can split the check with Castro.

    Well, we keep sitting around like this, shuffling AAA deck chairs, we'll be on the list of "sellers" soon enough.
  20. David HK
    Calling an 0-2 curveball is not the problem. The problem is a pitcher who spins the damn thing over the heart of the plate, instead of burying it 6 feet deep. That's on Trevor may for not pitching like a major-leaguer.
  21. David HK
    Arghhhh.... Sad to see Rooker go down just then. (Hope he's OK- sounds like he took an almighty nut-megging). Glad to see Larnach get moved up, but wondering if it has anything to do with seeing which of the 2 to keep around, and which to package in a trade....
  22. David HK
    Yep. That ol' "loading the bases" ploy is not good for this team. That was the death knell.
  23. David HK
    Did you hear that? That was the heartbeat that went by when considering this question. Yep.
  24. David HK
    I really really really like Jaylin Davis. What makes me a little sad, though, is the more progress he makes through the ranks, and the hotter he gets in AAA, the more he looks like a trade plum.
  25. David HK
    I do. But it rests at the bottom of my gin bottle.
