    Like Ali and the rope-a-dope? Julien has been sitting passively in the batters box just bidding his time, learning and waiting to unleash the fury when everyone thought he was cooked? Works for me.
  2. nicksaviking
    Few things would make me happier than Julien forcing Baldelli to have to justify all of this ineffective platooning during his post game presser.
  3. nicksaviking
    Yeah, I know. Wringing every dime from the free agents you sign is more important than getting the free agents you actually want.
  4. nicksaviking
    Could have had Justin Turner had the Twins not dragged out the largely fruitless Polanco trade so long that he signed elsewhere. I hope this past offseason shows the front office the dangers of trying to make all of your moves in the last minutes before spring training starts.
  5. nicksaviking
    Source? That just sounds like wild speculation.
  6. nicksaviking
    Already did. Manuel Margot and his 33% K rate. I'll show myself out.
  7. nicksaviking
    Yeah, the St. Paul bullpen is made up of a bunch of 30-year-olds this team obviously liked more this off season than they did Tonkin. Not sure I like the idea of putting a guy on the mound who would be their fifth, sixth or seventh choice just to just to avoid the slim risk of losing one of the first four emergency choices. I think at this point I'd use one of the guys I like the best instead of the guy I'm most comfortable losing.
  8. nicksaviking
    They could have had Tonkin when they signed the dozen other relievers this offseason. I wonder why they're sticking him on the active roster over Castillo, Jensen, Blewett and Brigham?
  9. nicksaviking
    Like always, most of the best relievers the Twins will pull from the minors are still starters.
  10. nicksaviking
    I don't like that the whole team plays better with Lewis on the field. I mean, isn't that why the organization always claims they acquire guys like Santana, Margot and Vazquez? For that vague, intangible and incalculable thing that makes the young players up their game? Maybe stop getting those guys and just get guys who put up good numbers you CAN calculate on the field.
  11. nicksaviking
    Taking all the pitches is surly not the hitting coaches idea, it's an organizational one. Not defending it.
  12. nicksaviking
    Or
  13. nicksaviking
    And a long time being two games?
  14. nicksaviking
    You sure they weren't just cussing up a storm and someone hit the delay button?
  15. nicksaviking
    I would have left Ober in, but you're not going to put Jax in against Freeman and Ohtani when you have two left handers in the pen ready to go. That's pretty much the only reason they're on the team.
  16. nicksaviking
    My interpreter had good money on Ohtani having a three hit game tonight.
  17. nicksaviking
    I guess that lefty/righty matchup thing is only considered for the Twins bats? Seems like Okert should have been left to face the lefty?
  18. nicksaviking
    I was promised more runs with fewer strikeouts. The Twins might need to do something radical and try for more hits.
  19. nicksaviking
    He was one inning from catching Beau Burrows in 2021 though.
  20. nicksaviking
    Particularly considering they let him face Mookie Betts three times, perhaps the best hitter in the game.
  21. nicksaviking
    Poor move to take Ober out. But the bullpen has been great this year and they're well rested. This won't be the most egregious move this year. Unfortunately.
  22. nicksaviking
    Ober now sits at a 12.79 ERA. Tim Melville in 2017, eat your heart out.
  23. nicksaviking
    I mostly remember him serving meatballs to Jason Giambi.
  24. nicksaviking
    Now he's passed Mike Trombley in 2002. What's the inflation on him?
  25. nicksaviking
    Ober's ERA is now lower than Steve Carlton's in 1988.
