    Just saw that. Against Bieber no less.

    For the love of all things holy Gibby, hold the line.

    Still an uphill climb. Cant believe Im saying this but I hope this staff can keep the Tigers offense in check the rest of the way.
  4. bighat
    Can't watch.

    Let's just win the darn ball game.

    We have been hearing that for the past 10 years. Twins don't call up young prospects. Meanwhile, guys like Juan Soto and Ronald Acuna are 20 years old (barely) and have already been in the league almost 2 years and are two of the best offensive players in the NL. Twins and us fans consider people like Buxton (almost 26) to be our "young developing talent". It's pretty sad and shows some major philosophy differences between the Twins and other clubs. I don't like it, frankly.

    I think the reason this isn't fun is because the Twins once held such a huge lead. Twins were 11.5 games ahead and cruising. The lead is now 2 games, and the Twins are dropping series at home to Chicago and Detroit. They're on the brink of what would be a historic collapse. They had a chance to go get starting pitching help at the deadline and didn't do it. The pitching staff is giving up 8-9 runs per game regularly while Cleveland inches closer and wild card teams like Tampa and Oakland gain more ground. For the teams chasing the Twins, this is fun. For Twins fans, its nervewracking and frustrating.

    Bingo. Harper's the 2019 version of Trevor Hildenberger.

    That's one way to look at it....but I think many people would enjoy being outside on a Friday night in downtown Minneapolis at a ballgame, rather than on a couch in Bismark, ND. Not knocking your living room, just saying sometimes there's more to it. I went to one game last year. Twins lost to KC and Aaron Slegers was pitching. Overall it was bad baseball, but I still remember the night fondly.

    Tigers beat reporter on Twitter: "Drew VerHagen had never posted a double-digit strikeout game at any pro level. He didn't have one at Vanderbilt, either. He has 11 K's tonight after striking out middle of Twins lineup in order, all on curveballs, in sixth."

    Don't try and hit a homer Max. Just keep the line moving. Polanco's hot.
  12. bighat
    No, he had a 7 or something. In this analogy, Rocco's not a great poker player.
  13. bighat
    In his head, he had Berrios going 6 innings and giving up 1 run. He had that in his mind all day yesterday, all morning today, and even through the first 5 innings tonight. It's a lot like poker. Rocco raised pre-flop with an ace high. But a pair of kings came up on the flop, and got a non-suited 4 on the turn. Professionals will bail to fight another day. Amateurs don't. In short, Rocco just couldn't get away from what he wanted to happen.

    Very cool man. Reminds me of the protests here in Guatemala a few years ago. Unfortunately, the spirit of revolution here was crushed, things have gotten worse, and now everyone is so fatigued that they've just said "f--- it". Well, maybe not everyone but certainly lots of them. Poverty is a hell of an opponent. Glad to see you're out and involved! Cool stuff!
  15. bighat
    And it will be very hard to forget a 2-4 homestand against these teams, which is where things are headed right now.
  16. bighat
    In my haste to communicate my disgust on the current game, I posted my thoughts here instead of the game thread. Apologies!
  17. bighat
    Drew Verhagen and his 7.53 ERA putting up a quality start against the Twins tonight as Cleveland demolishes KC at home like they should.
  18. bighat
    This offense better start scoring 8 runs per game, pronto. I don't think the Twins currently can sustain their lead in the division unless something changes. Openers are needed. Time to experiment with the philosophy.
  19. bighat
    Terrible. La MaKina is broKen. And so is Rocco's brain. These are must-wins.
  20. bighat
    Terrible.
  21. bighat
    Four days and counting since we've last had a Mitch Garver sighting.

    Is bWAR the only measure of a player's talent, though? Is that all that counts? Are LeMahieu and Brantley bringing as much to the clubhouse as Cruz? Is Machado helping young guys along and providing stability on a successful team? I do think that stuff should count, at least a little bit.... Let's not talk about Logan Morrison - we need to wash out all these bad vibes before tonight's game!
  23. bighat
    A couple outliers there (ie: Lynn) and then you have guys like LeMahieu and Donaldson - who while having great years - their teams would maybe be OK without them. I think Cruz has brought more to this Twins team than just a bWAR but call me old fashioned. Morton definitely in the convo. Brantley's been a nice pickup also.
  24. bighat
    Yeah. I'm 44 so Kirby's heyday was right in my wheelhouse. The guy was just straight money. Game 6, 1991? Not many athletes have ever done what Kirby did that night. Pair his postseason accomplishments with his absurd career numbers and I honestly have never seen a player like him.
  25. bighat
    Morris is probably #1 for the reasons many have stated. But Cruz has hit his way into the discussion and his ranking could go up depending on what he and the Twins do if they make a postseason run. Twins win a world series and Cruz hits a game-winning homer? Now we've got an argument. Regardless of Twins history, let's talk MLB free agent signings over this past offseason. Machado and Harper were the big names, but Cruz has outpaced them both. Best signing this offseason for any club? Has to be Cruz, right?
