    He says 3-4 things per game that are outrageous. That said, his last few outings have been pretty damn impressive.
  2. Darius
    Oh look, it's the Twins' third best starter coming out of the 'pen in the 6th in inning.
  3. Darius
    That might be the luckiest catch I've ever seen a major league ball player make. He even reacted like he was shocked he caught it.
  4. Darius
    That might be a home run last weekend when it was 85 degrees and humid.
  5. Darius
    That does seem rather high. There must be a bunch of singles that advance the runner to third, but not home, inflating that number. Seems like every game they leave 1-2 guys in scoring position with nobody out.
  6. Darius
    Well now Glenn's decision looks even worse after that....
  7. Darius
    I'll give you that....they are terrible with RISP and less than two out.
  8. Darius
    Especially when that runner is thrown out after a bad relay throw, and a bad throw home. Two good throws and the catcher has time to check his watch before the tag.
  9. Darius
    That decision by Glenn is going to cost them a run, or more. Maybe the game.
  10. Darius
    Bad decision by Gene. Don't agree with Torii that it was a good move.

    Yeah, that tax situation in South Dakota....the government is still getting theirs. Throw whatever title you'd like in front of the word tax...you're still paying it in some way, shape, or form at the end of the day. Now, from this second forward, I want to think about nothing work related until 6 am Monday. All I want is another division series win. These bats need to break out tonight. I feel like Dozier is due for a leadoff home run.

    During the game, in the game thread, I made a statement that I though I'd get pounded for: I said that was seeing a lot of similarities between how Berrios was pitching in that particular start, and the late Jose Fernandez. Low and behold, after the game, Ian Desmond corroborated it by saying the exact same thing. Of course, things could go downhill in a hurry. But, considering Fernandez was unhittable, and maybe the best pitcher in the game, while at his best....that's extremely exciting. Berrios might just save a pitching staff that is in free fall. My only concern is how many games were sacrificed by leaving him in the minors too long.

    The Astros model used as an example is great. But that can't always be done. 1) There has to be someone good enough to take at #1 at a discount. You can't just take any schmuk for the sake of paying less. 2). There has be a very good player that you can make a deal with before the draft, and inform a bunch of other teams he won't sign with them in the first round. I don't think it's as easy as some think, or team would do it every year that there isn't a Strasburg or Harper. 3). If the first two stars align, which isn't likely, then.....and this might be the rub....they have to want to come to Minnesota, instead of San Diego, Miami, etc. I wouldn't do things like this just to be cute. I'd imagine for every Astros story, there's going to be a story of someone passing a generational talent, getting burned, and looking extremely foolish. Getting the best player at #1, paying the kid, and moving on is going to work out much more often, I would think.

    Haven't seen a Twins pitcher throw a baseball that well since pre-elbow Liriano. I was convinced that I might die before I see another utterly dominant performance like that out of a Twin. That was fun watch.
  15. Darius
    This kid's stuff is impressive tonight. Jose Fernandez has come to mind a lot while watching Berrios throw tonight. Fernandez was in another league, and was consistently great. But, Berrios' stuff tonight looks very similar. Wicked movement, with the ability to command it.
  16. Darius
    Didn't seem to work for him last year.... Chatwood is also doing the same thing, so does that make Berrios' game legit if the other pitcher is also cheating? I think so. I would think you'd have to be pretty dumb to put it on your hat, and go to it after every single pitch, if you're really going to "cheat." I'd go on the seam between the webbing and the palm of my glove, where my fingers end up before every pitch, myself.
  17. Darius
    This is the Berrios we've been waiting for. I only hope the Rockies get one more legit base hit, so Dozier's inability to get to that grounder isn't the difference.
  18. Darius
    I think we're already seeing the regression. The pitching is spiraling out of control.
  19. Darius
    It's got to be embarrassing for the people who didn't get turned over, or even those who did, to be regarded as so incompetently behind in terms of thought process and technology. You have to think they get pats on the head and held back laughter in the weekly staff meetings. If this were any other line of business but professional sports, the Twins would be out of business. It would be like a company competing with Samsung, LG, etc, who are producing cutting edge 4k+ technology and revolutionary ideas for streaming and virtual reality, refusing to accept the death of the VCR market for two decades.

    Now watch Colorado move him over to third, and get him in. Something the Twins seemingly can never do.
  21. Darius
    Come on, Vargas. That's a killer.
  22. Darius
    Belisle is awful. You know you're bullpen is a joke when you take one team's washed up 6th inning guy and make him the set up man. It still blows my mind that they didnt bring a real reliever in here. After watching two different sets of FO personnel, the latter being fronted by a pitching-centric sabregeek, the only logical explanation isnthsg ownership hamstrung them and wouldn't sign off on any proposed signings.
  23. Darius
    Shocking. Rosario takes a garbage at bat with a runner on third and less than one out.
  24. Darius
    That's what happens when you can execute with runners in base and no outs. That's something the Twins haven't been even remotely competent at in 7-8 years.
  25. Darius
    Looks like it's going to be a long night for Phil. Or, probably a short night, more accurately.
