    Rosario has become such a dangerous hitter. Sure would be nice to throw Sano in the middle of this....

    Big Game Berrios
  3. Darius
    Big game tonight. Couldn't ask for a better response.
  4. Darius
    I've been waiting 5 years for Mauer to capitalize on the shift. Talk about a long con.

    Huge game for this squad tonight. I don't know if there is such a thing as a trap game, but this seems like one. They've had trouble breaking through and winning games like this this year. Seems like they always take a step back after taking a couple forward. Let's break that pattern and get the series win tonight.

    He just keeps getting big hits. Unreal.

    A lot of people still talk about him in hypotheticals. A 1.000 OPS (since July 1) combined with historically good defense is MVP caliber baseball. He's sustained that for 2+ months now. It's getting real. Throw in the baserunning/steals. Oh, and he's 23. It really is too bad that some people refuse to enjoy this. This guy is special, and he'll be a Twin for a long time.

    It's not the FOs job to make these guys feel special. It's to make business decisions. I'm glad these guys are willing to take action based on the data they have. If you don't want guys to get traded away at the deadline, win more games.

    Davis had 5.3 and 7.9 WAR in those seasons, respectively. Byron already has 4.3 this year. Davis' 7-year peak WAR was around 30. That's a shade over 4 per year. He'll beat Davis' second best season of 5.3 this year, and he's just figured out only recently. Something tells me he'll crush that 7-year peak (could post 50). Dude, as much as you don't want to back off your take, Buxton is freaking amazing.

    Thrylos tweet on Gleeman twitter again. Pretty funny.

    I'll take Sano in my team all day long. He has the potential to be one of the more potent offensive threats in baseball. It's become fashionable to tell people how to feel, what they can say, and how they should live their life. Virtue signaling is something that is done constantly (everything from retweets, to posts, etc). That's all part of this. It's as much an article pointed at "I'm going to tell you how to be righteous," than a sports peice. That pompous twit. Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like there was a time in the not so distant past in which Sano was appreciated for what he was
  12. Darius
    Buxton has arrived.
  13. Darius
    Buxton is insane right now. Fans were calling for his head at the All-Star break (calling for Granite). By the end of the year, at this rate, he'll be showing up in the MVP conversation.

    I'm getting me one of those red hats with the logo inside the outline of the state.
  15. Darius
    This may have been mentioned, or maybe it's wrong, but did they really only record 1 K, and not until the 9th? And they only gave up 1 run? Interesting.
  16. Darius
    Tonight was a great display of just how Buxton can take over a game without even swinging a bat. He's turning into quite the player. Watching him progress this year has been awesone.
  17. Darius
    Yep, it's pretty ridiculous that the guy making the most on the team, and maybe the best natural hitter on the team, wasn't in the lineup consider all of the injuries. You're in the middle of the playoff race, and needed a win. I just don't get it. Is into really too much to ask for a 33-34 year old guy to stand at 1B and hit against Derek Holland? This isn't the NFL. He does need days off, but we don't need to he carried away here. That, along with Garver at 1B, instead of a guy with some real experience there, is ridiculous. Molitor needs to quit turning a kids game into rocket science.
  18. Darius
    Their playoff odds were about 35% per baseball prospectus. I'll 6 to 1 to anyone that wants to bet that this team makes the playoffs. This is not a team worthy of playoff baseball.
  19. Darius
    This team is bad right now.
  20. Darius
    Park seems to be heating up. Might be useful for some RH power down the stretch if Sano doesn't return soon.
  21. Darius
    Agree that they really needed that one. I don't even think it matters if you're playing good or bad teams at this point. The way the Angels and Indians are playing, one bad series and the season is over. I still can't get over that Rosario throw. That was not an overly difficult throw for a good big leaguer to make.
  22. Darius
    Rosario has got to make that throw. That's a tough one to give away to a bad team.
  23. Darius
    This "if" could be said about any successful pitcher. Good pitchers get ahead, then force guys to deal with tough, borderline pitches (aka breaking pitches that start in the zone, but end up in the dirt). It's extremely rare to find hitters that can consistently lay off of those (the Mauer's if the world), especially when you are behind and in a protection mode. Gibson's problem is/was that he wasn't getting ahead of hitters, then making mistakes in the zone. Not that his fastball is in some way worse than a successful pitcher. Quite the opposite. He's got some life in his fastball and can get outs with it. If Gibson went 0-1 or 1-1 at a higher rate (throw more first/second pitch strikes) instead of always sitting 2-0, 2-1, he has the stuff to be a very good starting pitcher. We've seen flashes occasionally, and he's had success in the past. Gibson is in another class than your typical back-end independent league guys that get banged around at the back-end of the Twins rotation because their stuff doesn't play. He doesn't get enough credit from most fans, in terms of his stuff, IMO. I still have hope that he's going to figure it out and turn his career around.
  24. Darius
    Love it. Now that the playoffs are more than just an early season pipe-dream, hopefully we'll see some more pitching reinforcements in the coming weeks.
  25. Darius
    How much does he weigh? Get Souhan on it.
