    No, they executed poorly. The Twins were lucky to get out of that situation unscathed using poor strategy.
  2. wsnydes
    Poor strategy and dumb luck, mostly.
  3. wsnydes
    Strategery...
  4. wsnydes
    This is going well...
  5. wsnydes
    And throwing baseballs isn't one of them...
  6. wsnydes
    A late inning run?!??
  7. wsnydes
    That's an old school mentality. That's what bullpens are for... apparently. But I agree with you completely.
  8. wsnydes
    That's where a bench coach comes in. They are there to keep track of those things.

    Damn slackers!!!

    So, I should expect my long relief guy to throw 10 pitches and my closer to throw 49? Is that what you're implying?

    Forgot about Telis being on the roster...that makes much more sense to send him down.

    This seems like an overreaction. Their seasons don't overlap a whole lot. It seems like there should be plenty of ineptitude, shattered expectations and ridiculous amounts of bad luck to go around in this town. If I were the Vikings, I'd be more concerned with the squad just to the southeast of Target Field. Heck, why not join forces and utilize the same marketing firm?

    Does that take into account IL stints? I'm not debating either way, I'm just legitimately curious. There needs to be some context there. Just because they're not playing 140 games doesn't mean that they're getting rested every 3 or 4 days.
  14. wsnydes
    That's my guess too. I haven't seen any mention of a move, so I'm curious.
  15. wsnydes
    Do we know what the corresponding move for Gordon is?
  16. wsnydes
    Good for him! Hopefully he's able to take that frustration from the past two seasons and channel it into some good things with the big league squad!
  17. wsnydes
    To this season? No. Even if he plays up to his potential, there are other holes in this current squad. Is he potentially the answer in LF and a building block to the future? Hopefully.

    Let's have this conversation in September and see if we're still talking this way. We've seen good first halves before. That said, I hope he's figuring out how to produce at a high level for an entire season. He's fun to watch when he's on. And he's really fun to watch right now.

    While true, it's still up to the player to make the plays. The manager can't do that for them. Both players were in positions familiar to them and were tasked with making routine plays.

    While I wouldn't be using Colome in a closing role at this point, Rocco is. I can understand why Rocco brought him out for the 10th, but I would have gone with another option. And I'd have yanked him after back to back walks. He was gassed. Probably would have brought Alacala in at that point given what was left in the pen. I wasn't really a fan of the PR for Donaldson, but even so, those plays that were booted were routine. Those plays have to be made and neither Arraez or Blakenhorn were put in a defensive position that they were unfamiliar with, so I don't have an issue with that. Players have to execute too. Plenty of blame to go around in this one. Rocco has to make better decisions. Colome has to execute better. Blackenhorn needs to field the grounder hit right at him. Arraez needs to make a good throw on a ball that he had time to set and fire on. The manager needs to put players in a position to succeed. The players need to execute regardless of the situation they're put in. None of them got it done. The last two innings of the game were a microcosm of the Twins season so far.

    Pretty good game to get to sit on for an extra day...
  22. wsnydes
    Must not be any analytics to support such an idea. I agree with you though.
  23. wsnydes
    At least the defense is solid...
  24. wsnydes
    And here I thought this was going to be a boring half inning... /s
  25. wsnydes
    Where do I send the flowers?
