    Biebs is Cruz-in' for a bruisin' from Nellie.

    Fine defense of Eddie, I agree that we should appreciate what we have and enjoy whatever remaining ABs he has in a Twins uniform. To me, Eddie is a gamer and a winner and a guy I want on my roster and in the lineup, regardless of the advanced stats. That being said, I can't defend not knowing the ground rules at Target Field and not hustling to finish the play (Detroit players kept hustling). Eddie is high risk/high reward type and Rocco is wise not to reign him in too much - you have to let guys like that play through things in their own way. Still, you can't argue with the umps while the runners keep going. As far as running through the stop sign, since he was out it was a terrible decision and the risk wasn't worth it. Even if he was safe, you have to ask why risk it. Eddie will always be a player who generates strong opinions one way or another due to his playing (sometimes reckless) style. I am a fan of Eddie's yet can understand while others are critical.

    This is such a Minnesota thread. I guess nearly 30 years of essentially no sustained playoff success by any of the 4 men's professional teams will really shell shock a fan base. I am right there with everyone, I just find the beaten down by losing attitudes fascinating.

    "Luis Arraez wasn’t going to match his numbers from last year, but they’ve dropped more than I would’ve expected." That's an interesting take as I saw preseason predictions of Arraez possibly flirting with hitting .400 in this short 60 game season. Of all you mention struggling, I see Arraez as the closest to getting where he was projected. Not sure what happened to Garver. His approach seems off, letting hittable strikes pass with no noticeable intent of swinging. It seems the league has figured out Garver and he needs to adjust accordingly.

    Thinking ahead to the postseason, I trust Romo with the season on the line and not Rogers.
  6. theBOMisthebomb
    I'm of the save their service time in this 60 game season with 16 playoff teams. The Twins odds of reaching the playoffs is already at 96% per Fangraphs. The first round of the playoffs is 3 games, presumably with no fans in attendance so basically a total crapshoot.
  7. theBOMisthebomb
    Avila at least looks like he has a puncher's chance at the plate. Maybe he should start to take ABs from Garver. It's tough to endure slumps in such a short season.
  8. theBOMisthebomb
    Brutal week. The good news is the Twins are still in first place (just barely with Cleveland and Gardy's Tigers nipping at their heels) and it's a 16 game playoff. One barrel all year from Garver?
  9. theBOMisthebomb
    Is there a rule that says you can't pitch a successful member of your bullpen if the score is tied or your team is behind yet within striking distance? Rocco is using his bullpen inside out, overusing guys with no sustained track record of success while Romo, Rogers, Duffy, and May gather dust. Maybe Rocco is saving the high leverage arms for the 16 team postseason grind?
  10. theBOMisthebomb
    Yes. He has the most HRs in a single season for the franchise for someone not named Harmon Killebrew.

    Are you joking or serious? I cannot tell. Masks are said to only protect the spread of the virus, and some debate their effectiveness. Most masks don't offer protection to the wearer. How does Fauci play into this? I can't tell if you are goofing around. The Saints said their plan was approved by the Department of Health.
  12. theBOMisthebomb
    Not to mention, Target Field is outside. The detail about the Saints reopening that excited me was no mask needed if you are in your seat.
  13. theBOMisthebomb
    I cannot worry about this now. Maybe yes, maybe no, only time will tell.
  14. theBOMisthebomb
    It's part of the magic of baseball - getting a foul ball or a home run ball. I guess even if it's a stadium with no fans.
  15. theBOMisthebomb
    I edited my original post.
  16. theBOMisthebomb
    He will get multiple chances. The Twins should scoop him up as the Braves have grabbed Anibal Sanchez and now Jhoulys Chacin from the Twins the last few seasons.

    I see the mixed signals and it baffles me. Why are we even talking about rushing children back to school? It seems a risky ploy at best. Why not do the distance learning until we get a vaccine? If people want to have their children do extracurricular activities, open them up, and have the parents sign a waiver. My wife feels differently, she wants them back in school asap. What a mess.

    The true reason is that it was part of the strategy to slowly phase Bert out to pasture. If memory serves, 2020 is Bert's last year on contract and they won't bring him back. Bremer is my all time least favorite. One more 'hometown story' and I will barf all over my shoes.
  19. theBOMisthebomb
    Yes, he caught on with the Mets. https://www.nbcsports.com/washington/nationals/former-nationals-second-baseman-brian-dozier-signs-minor-league-contract-mets?amp

    Oh man, this could be a short season. Fingers crossed.
  21. theBOMisthebomb
    Looking at Bullpen Usage Spreadsheet, I noticed neither Romo or Rogers pitched against the White Sox? I guess it is true that I don't recall seeing either one pitch this weekend. Still, it seems strange.
  22. theBOMisthebomb
    It would have been nice for Sano to play on Sunday to shake off some rust. Monday is an off day for rest.
  23. theBOMisthebomb
    The White Sox are legit.
  24. theBOMisthebomb
    Yes, brilliant of them to try to copy actual ground balls that players might see in games as opposed to just hitting off the fungo. Then, rethinking fielding with the tee work sounds great. Anything to gain that sliver of an advantage. I know coaching youth baseball that fielding drills were always the toughest to duplicate reality and actually increase skill.
  25. theBOMisthebomb
    Nice story, inspiring. I honestly don't remember his stint with the Twins.
