  1. Ober was great for 5. But it was time to pull him, without question.
  2. At least his ERA went down.
  3. Would it kill them to get a single 1-2-3 inning? No wondering they keep losing.
  4. What, Santana didn't instill enough fear for a pitching change?
  5. 7 of 9 batters have a K arleady...in the fourth inning.
  6. Colt Keith sounds like a nascar name.
  7. 0-2 fastball down down the middle? Twins should sign this pitcher.
  8. Just what the offense needs to break out.
  9. hitters 2-5 were all 1st round picks, if my memory is correct. that's interesting.
  10. A double steal could've prevented that.
  11. well, it's a productive out. baby steps.
  12. The only way out of a slump is to break through. Maybe that's the plan with this lineup. Odds seem good that a few players break out... they just need at bats? (maybe sarcasm/i'm not really sure anymore)
  13. I refuse to "like" that explanation. But ty
  14. 20 P, 17 S. Are they swinging at everything, or is Varland throwing meatballs?
  15. I haven't seen him pitch, but based on usage, I wonder about Jackson. Or Johnson. Whatever JJ's name is. We sure have a lot of panic at this site considering I haven't even learned their names yet. 😁
  16. And most the the current team was in diapers when TK retired.
  17. I may remember this wrong and I don't care enough to google the stats, but the piranha term was because they hustled down the line and took the extra base (or forced it). Not because they stole bases. Sprint speed stats are relevant to this, but this article is really just focused on SB instead of overall baserunning. It goes without saying that Gardenhire's time ran out, but at his best, I loved that aggressive philosophy of "Nobody practices fundamentals: force them to make the throw." I am not saying it would apply to the 2024 Twins as built. I would like to see this team improve baserunning and contact skills, but it doesn't have to be their identity. I think their identity should be a delicate balance between aggressive XBH swings and working the count, personally. In other words: Aggressive but smart.
  18. Adding the oddball 1970s antics of this franchise, they have a hell of a fascinating history.
  19. Just came here to post this. I did a double take at MLBTR first, assuming somebody else had the same name. Good for him. 30 next week. And possibly only getting the callup because the Mets cut Tonkin.
