  1. Jimminy Christmas, Harper.
  2. Right, except for that LOL. My bad.
  3. Eddie says: "see how easy that was"?
  4. Cruz up with 1 out and a runner on 3rd? Guaranteed nubber! That's like the 3rd consecutive time he's done that, unbelievable.
  5. Kepler almost botched that again LOL - nice work getting to 3rd this time buddy.
  6. Wow! I'm enjoying this inning! Sano, credit where it's due buddy!
  7. Can't trade him, because nobody wants him. He's not only bad, but he doesn't have a contract going beyond this season. Twins can't trade him to a fellow contender and no bad team has any reason to take him.
  8. Sano's not even in the dugout yet and Cave is already walking right behind him after striking out. This is unreal.
  9. Welp there it goes. This is a good team that stinks right now. I hope Falvine are on the phones right now.
  10. Over the past 44 innings of baseball the Twins have played, they've held a lead for a grand total of 2 half-innings. A brief 4-3 lead in Boston for one and Kepler's walk-off was the other.
  11. Twins tie it up and Perez walks the leadoff guy the next inning. Twins have really been under my skin the past week with stuff like this. I feel like Aggie right about now as my grump-o-meter starts jumping.
  12. Efficient 1-2-3 innings the last 2 innings. Getting ground balls and not getting too deep into counts. He hasn't struck out a batter yet. Not really fooling guys - but he's pitching against the Royals so he can just kinda throw it down the middle and let them get themselves out. He hasn't been dominant in any way, nothing encouraging, nothing overly awful. He's continuing his steady run of unimpressive outings.
  13. Right....but your original post seemed to be criticizing Gore for bunting. Maybe I missed something there. Gore got into scoring position. I think with nobody on and 2 out, that's what you want the guy in the batter's box to do. Aside from hitting a home run (which I don't believe Gore has the ability to do), he got the result any fan or manager would want.
  14. Yeah, Sano's 0 for his last 17. With 12 K's. Incredibly terrible. How many of those came with men on base? Lots. Dude's just single-handedly carrying the flag for this slump.
  15. If you're talking about Gore - he singled on that bunt and stole 2nd base. Dude got himself into scoring position and would have scored on a base hit. I'd be happy if one of our guys did that.
  16. Exactly. We all understand that slumps happen to everyone. Even the best players are out 2/3 of the time. But anyone who watches baseball can see that these two guys are absolutely lost. These aren't guys "having a few bad days", they're sincerely having trouble and can't adjust. A day on the bench isn't going to help either of these guys. It's completely mental and no amount of athletic ability is going to fix this nightmare. Let Sano figure this out somewhere else - Rochester, Pensacola, Timbuktu. He's doing too much damage to the big league team right now. Cave should be replaced by the next guy in line as well. Service time be damned.
  17. Sano and Cave make up just a black hole on offense. Embarrassing. Stop playing these guys already, put Astudillo in the OF and Arraez at 3rd or something.
  18. Nice walk Castro. C'mon Miguel, how about a sac fly? Just make contact and get it up in the air buddy.
  19. This challenge reeks of desperation.
  20. Perez is toast, is clearly the weakest starter on this team. In fact the guy's a borderline #5 starter on any team right now, as bad as he ever was in Texas. He's become who he always was, as we all feared his success was a fluke. Twins shouldn't pick up his option and at this point they're in a tough spot because he's bad out of the bullpen as well. Can't trade him either.
  21. Sano have options? I know the philosophy is "he needs to get his feet wet up here in MLB" but he's not improving, he's circling the drain at this point. I'm starting to feel like when Buxton is activated, we keep Astudillo here and demote Sano. I know that's bad for his trade value, but he's dead weight right now on this team.
  22. Embarassing. Oh well, 9 game lead and still one of the best records in baseball. Remember the good 'ol days when the Twins looked like they couldn't lose?
