    That play was unreal. Some diving stops are exaggerated, and unnecessary. But, that was legit, and definitely took what should have been a hit away.
  2. Darius
    I'm as negative as anyone. But, one fluky inning and wind blown fly ball (from Garcia), and the sky is falling. If Sano didn't choke away that first inning by K'ing looking, then botching the rundown, this may be a tie game right now. There's a guy on the mound for them who can't touch 90. This is by no means over.

    Are you implying Mejia isn't a good pitcher? Bad days happen. Really fluky inning, IMO. The stuff is there for this kid (hitting 95 from the left side with good offspeed stuff). As far as the rest of this year goes, I'll take him over anyone else the Twins can run out there, with the exception of Santana.
  4. Darius
    Really fluky outing for Mejia. That 90 pitch Frazier AB, and the awful play by Sano killed him. The kid's stuff looks great. He could easily be the Twins best starter this year.

    You never run the guy to the advancing base. Always make sure you're taking him to opposite way if you're going to make a run at it like that. Any well coached 11 year old can tell you that. Awful, awful play.
  6. Darius
    RISP with no outs, and no runs to show for it. That's more like the Twins we all know and love.

    The hysteria over high schools pitchers is nonsense (weren't all pitchers high school pitchers at one point?). I'd want him if he were only a pitcher, but it's even more nonsensical when considering this guy has great upside at SS/at the plate as well. This team has had two huge problems for a while now: Starting pitching and shortstop. You have a shot at a guy who has elite upside at both. You also have consider the kids makeup, which appears to be top notch. The kid has shown the ability to excel under adversity, has an elite work ethic by all accounts, and is s great leader in the community. I just don't know how you possibly justify taking someone else. Especially the college outfielder, who I've also been hearing a lot about. I know you never draft based upon need, but when you have an OF full of 23 year olds, taking another 22 year old OF at #1 overall doesn't make much sense to me.

    Heard (rather, I read) that Keith Law was asked if the Twins are going to take Hunter Greene, and he said he has sources who say they're going to take a college player...and not Greene. Smokescreen, for some reason? I hope so. If true, there is no combo of words and .gifs that can adequately express my level of disgust with the thought of passing on that kid. Everything about him ive read oozes superstar.

    I like the way Duffy looks out of the pen.
  11. Darius
    His confidence is gone
  12. Darius
    Not sure I like these decisions to let the two most K prone guys on the team swing away in these situations. Really could use another run here.
  13. Darius
    Absolutely has to bunt there. Unreal.
  14. Darius
    Holland is cruising. Even with 3 errors, only up to 60 pitches through 5. Hughes has settled in pretty nicely, as well.
  15. Darius
    Buxton had to have missed a sign, right? How can you not have him bunt?
  16. Darius
    Holland looks sharp. He'd sure look nice in our 4 slot.
  17. Darius
    That might be a 5+ run inning if it were 10-20 degrees warmer. Is Hughes really one of the top 5 options right now?
  18. Darius
    Hughes is going to have a rough year.
  19. Darius
    Man, even if he didn't get him there, its really nice to have a catcher that can throw a baseball.
  20. Darius
    Grossman in the 2 hole? Yuck. Time to sit back and watch Hughes throw BP.
  21. Darius
    You're right on that one. Alas, not being high on humanity in this day and age, I was worried about derailing the thread with a Left vs. Right diatribe riddled bash-fest. Probably underestimated this community.
  22. Darius
    It'll be good to play someone else to get an idea of where this team actually is. Not that the Sox are any good. But, I'm still skeptical that the last series wasn't more of a result of the Royals being terrible. I haven't seen a lineup yet, but I'm hoping I see: Dozier, 2B Polanco, SS Sano, 3B Mauer, 1B Kepler, RF Castro, C Rosario, LF Buxton, CF Grossman, DH Last 3 are interchangeable. But, I'd like some some speed (Rosario/Buxton) and/or a guy who can get on base (Grossman) when the lineup turns over to the team's best hitters. Not a huge fan of Buxton being a blackhole in the top third of the lineup until he figures some things out.
  23. Darius
    Hipsters are usually on the other side of that political conversation. I'll sit just sit back now and wait for a fan of the band to take that literally and lose their mind.
  24. Darius
    Great write up on Chicago. Never thought of it that way (maybe because I love a good Chicago dog). But, hot dog snobbery is absurd and hilarious.
  25. Darius
    Sano looks great thus far. I think Buxton needs to get bumped down a little. I'd really like to see this lineup soon: Dozier, 2B Polanco, SS Sano, 3B Mauer, 1B Kepler, RF Park/Vargas/Grossman, DH Castro, C Buxton, CF Rosario, LF I love the idea of the speed at the bottom of the lineup when it turns over to Dozier. I'd also like to see Sano bumped up into the top 3 while he's hot (extra ABs, get him up in the first inning).
