    Interesting, although I'm not a Bremer fan so that doesn't make me happy.

    He will be fine, this poor stretch does not dim the bright future for Larnach. He can play out the string in St. Paul or work his way back up to the Twins in 2021. Either is an acceptable path. Rookies need these ABs to learn and they are going to hit rough patches.
  3. theBOMisthebomb
    Yes, he can win the batting title. He takes quality ABs every game, every time. The dude can flat out hit.

    Gordon is a first round pick and the Twins are running out of time with him. It's more than fair to paying customers at Target Field for the Twins to give Gordon an extended look in August and September of a lost season. Gordon's athleticism and speed could be a nice complement in the Twins lineup.
  5. theBOMisthebomb
    Why isn't Nick Gordon playing everyday with the Twins? As much as I love and admire Tortuga, Gordon needs to replace him and then play regularly with the Twins. Let's get a free six week look at what we have.

    The pregame highlight reel on the big scoreboard tonight at Target Field celebrating the 1991 World Series championship really hit me with the contrast. Players flying all over the field, both on defense and offense, taking extra bases, take out slides at second, collusions at home plate, bunts, hit and runs, advancing the runner. The differences from 30 years ago and today are almost stunning. It's a free world and a guy can swing for the fences all he wants and we can't stop him. I'd like to see some of today's superior athletes become more well rounded all around fundamental baseball players.

    I'm prepared to die on the hill still believing the 2021 Twins are/were a talented ball club (even after the trade deadline there is still some hope for the immediate future).
  8. theBOMisthebomb
    In Rocco's defense, he did pinch hit the red hot and Twins best overall hitter Polanco for Tortuga. The television guys (I think Smalley) thought it was an acceptable move. I personally would not have done it. If a guy is feeling it like Tortuga was last night, let him hit. Polo did get an infield hit.

    It's beyond tiring watching the Sox hand the Twins their rear ends in a platter this season. Maybe the Twins can save some face and win one of these next two (preferably Wednesday since I'll be at the game). The pitching matchups are lopsided Tuesday and Wednesday both and not in the Twins favor. Oh, how the mighty have fallen from 2019 and 2020. If last night wasn't a slap in the face of Twins fans showing what a trainwreck this season is, then nothing will be.
  10. theBOMisthebomb
    Maybe the Twins can get in there and ruin the playoff chances of a contending team. They have a four game series with Toronto on September 23-26 at Target Field, which seems their best shot at such an accomplishment. I'd like to see Arraez play everyday to see how high he can take that batting average. Seeing Arraez stay healthy for a sustained period of time would sure be nice.

    I know we wanted to stay positive here, so apologies. It's just that prospects don't excite me until they have proven it on the MLB playing field (which quite often takes years).
  12. theBOMisthebomb
    I couldn't take the posts and all the hand-wringing from the 'against the unwritten rules' folks. Best to just let things ride in a season like 2021 and not stir up any unnecessary HBP back and forth with the Reds. I don't remember any bad blood with the Reds and don't think any of the injuries you mentioned were intentional. The Twins had a good moment with the Reds at Target Field earlier this year honoring Mike Bell.
  13. theBOMisthebomb
    Yes, great clutch AB from Polanco. Then, of course, I knew the whole time that the Twins closer Colome would slam the door in the 9th and get the save. There's still a lot of entertainment in a lost baseball season like the 2021 version of the Twins.
  14. theBOMisthebomb
    It's so dang depressing to hear talk of the next competitive window opening in another 2-3 years. It feels as if the Bomba Squad window just opened. Of course, no playoff victories to show for any of it.
  15. theBOMisthebomb
    I'll be glad when the trade deadline passes. I am not intrigued or interested by the deadline rumors and speculation - it rather annoys me. The thought of losing Berrios makes my blood boil and the possibility of trading "my guys" that I follow only makes me mad. I am certain I'd be a terrible GM.
  16. theBOMisthebomb
    The best possible outcome has no mention of the Twins winning anything?
  17. theBOMisthebomb
    It stinks to see your club lose your favorite players. There could be more gut punches to come before the trade deadline. One of the worst feelings as a fan is to see your club as a seller at the trade deadline. I know this was the right move and might pay dividends in the future. It's really devastating to see the dreams and promise of a championship that the 2019 (and 2020) Bomba Squad brought to Twins fans slowly crumble away.
  18. theBOMisthebomb
    The defense by the Angels right fielder, Adam Eaton, really foiled the Twins in the 8th inning.
  19. theBOMisthebomb
    The bright spot is that the legend of La Tortuga will now resume.
  20. theBOMisthebomb
    It's two competitors being competitive. It could be a big deal, probably not though. You'd have to be on the inside to really know. I don't want this incident to negatively impact Arraez. Maybe it's time to cut bait with Donaldson and move him before the trade deadline? JD's time with the Twins has not lived up to expectations.
  21. theBOMisthebomb
    If you couldn't get fired up to watch the HR Derby on Monday night and then Ohtani as starting pitcher and leading off as DH on Tuesday then I question whether that person is a fan of watching baseball on television. I don't know what more MLB can do to stack the deck to make it compelling viewing.
  22. theBOMisthebomb
    Outside food is once again allowed at Target Field (no sunflower seeds though). You can also bring up to a 32 ounce factory sealed water bottle so you should be able to feed yourself at the stadium for the same cost as at home.
  23. theBOMisthebomb
    Tanking is wrong and goes against the laws of nature.
  24. theBOMisthebomb
    Old man yells at cloud! Get those dang kids off my lawn!! Anyway, I agree with Nick that this has been an oddly magical first half of the season. It's just been so great to get back into the normal summer routine of a Twins game nearly every day.

    Dan Serafini resurfaced years later as a bar owner on Jon Taffer's Bar Rescue reality show. Serafini wasn't a better bar owner than he was as a first round draft pick.
