    Ouch. Did he go? Looks 50-50 to be honest.

    Nice AB by Adrianza, too bad he kept swinging at that pitch just a bit outside. Couldn't lay off but he gave it a good effort anyway.

    Yeah it's gonna happen many more times this year to the Twins, Yankees, Astros, and Dodgers. Just the way it is. Avoid big losing streaks, win the series you should, etc. Overall the Twins will be happy with the start of this homestand taking 2 of 3 (if they don't rally in the 9th). Plenty to improve upon for this team but it's nice to have a 10 game lead while you're working on those improvements.

    Eddie cooling down in a major way lately. Unfortunate the guy can't seem to get a big hit lately, though he certainly saved our bacon often in the early season.

    Schoop earlier, Eddie and now Sano - getting up to the plate in huge situations with men on and go down 0-2 right away. Is everyone just trying to hit a HR every time? Where's the patience? Terrible.
  6. bighat
    Bad out, Eddie!
  7. bighat
    Cruz again! Here we go....c'mon boys it ain't over yet!
  8. bighat
    If Schoop had hit the fly ball Garver did this would be a 1-run game. Dang dude, can't strike out with the bases loaded and 1 out, just criminal.
  9. bighat
    GarvSauce time.
  10. bighat
    Yeah upon closer inspection it is a father's day tie, I believe.
  11. bighat
    Is it just me or does it look like the KC catcher is wearing a tie?
  12. bighat
    Rally time boys!

    Wayda go Cruz! More times than not, this team needs to score 5-6 runs to win a ball game. More times than not, they can accomplish that feat. Problem is that in the playoffs, you'll be going against shutdown pitchers every time. The Astros, for example, will throw Verlander and Cole at you in the first 2 games of a series. Red Sox will throw Sale and Price. Etc, etc. The Twins could find themselves down 2-0 in playoff series very quickly. The subject has been beaten to death so I don't know why I'm piling on but this team is built to win regular season games, not playoff games. We've seen the Yankees already bring in Encarnacion. Cubs and Braves signing big name pitchers. When are the Twins going to start making moves?

    Two guys who have never stepped on an MLB field for BumG and Smith? I'd do that trade in a heartbeat.
  15. bighat
    OK bullpen, it's showtime.
  16. bighat
    Intentionally walking Adrianza to get to Schoop, who's found himself in the 9 spot tonight. His season is on a downswing and could use a boost here. How about now?
  17. bighat
    Crom!
  18. bighat
    Polanco! MVP!
  19. bighat
    This NBA-style music between pitches is ridiculous. I'm sorry, but I hate it.
  20. bighat
    Angel Hernandez, man this guy is living up to his terrible rep right now.
  21. bighat
    Marwin!

    So because an athlete made a lot of money, the Twins shouldn't spend a "hole weekend" honoring him? He's the first catcher to win 3 batting titles. Oh yeah, he's also got an MVP Award and is chasing the Hall of Fame. Arguably a top 5 athlete in the state's history. The Twins would be crazy not to honor Mauer in this fashion. Sure, while many of us have moved on, there are tons of Twins fans who will never have enough Joe M. from Cretin-Derham Hall. This season is brimming with feel-good stories, why not keep the good times rolling? Gibby was great tonight. Let's get 'em tomorrow.

    Agreed. Not saying we shouldn't agonize. It's just that this is uncharted territory for most of us. Last time the Twins were this stacked the internet and forums like this didn't exist. We wrote letters to the editor in 1991 and I can guarantee you none of those with complaints were published.
  24. bighat
    Great numbers. He'd be great batting 8th or 9th on this team Seriously though it was hard to see him go. But replacing him with Gonzales and Adrianza mixed in has worked out just fine. Wish Eduardo all the best, probably everyone's favorite ex-Twin currently in the majors.

    June 14. Best record in baseball. Double-digit lead in the division. Worst team in baseball coming into Target Field this weekend to serve up a feast of dingers, doubles, and tater tot hot dish. Yet we are beside ourselves with agony and complaining like crazy about the one weak spot on this squad. Compared to other teams our bullpen is decent - but it's not THE BEST and therefore we are worried and grousing daily. I just figured it out: this must be exactly what it feels like to be a Yankees fan.
