  1. Wouldn't have minded Adrianza spelling Schoop today. Nice to get Eddie a day off, guessing Schoop's off day may come tomorrow - guy's been brutal up there at the plate lately.
  2. Astudillo sent down, wow.
  3. Back-to-back wins for the Twins. Be mighty nice to take this series.
  4. Bert with the jinx calling the win for Harper there. Parker following with walk #2. Good grief!
  5. Wow, Parker. Leadoff walk, seriously?
  6. Schoop's ABs since he hit that HR in Tampa have been absolutely awful. He's down 0-2 almost every time. Dude needs a few games watching from the bench. Put in Astudillo or Adrianza, anyone who can at least make contact.
  7. I have May much lower. Parker higher. Parker had one rough game recently and May had one good game recently. Don't let a couple of outings from one night make you forget the rest of the games.And let's not forget that May has been used in low-leverage situations most of the month of May as well. Parker has 5 saves, May doesn't have any. Says something. 1. Rogers 2. Harper 3. Morin 4. Parker 5. May 6. Macgill 7. Duffey
  8. Phewf! Way to go gang, we'll take it. Jose Berrios & Max Kepler: THANK YOU.
  9. Who the heck is Oscar Mercado? Good lord.
  10. Awful strike 1 call there on Garver. Robot umps now!
  11. Nice job May. Insurance runs, anyone? I think Schoop owes Berrios a solo HR at the very least.
  12. Good grief can this 'pen look any worse right now? It's been a known weakness since Day 1 but the Twins have either been in denial or just hanging on. I'm guessing this team picks up at least 2 arms at the deadline for the bullpen. Gonna cost a haul of prospects but in a year like this, you absolutely have to do it.
  13. Yeesh, Scoop. C'mon guys.
  14. These 10-pitch at bats are so darn frustrating...
  15. I was thinking that too. Perez has looked more like his career average these days - a #5 starter with a 4.56 career ERA. He's been pretty bad his last 2 starts. He works SO SLOWLY that it's hard for me, even as a Twins fan, to watch him pitch. The league's stopped swinging at that inside cutter. Just one strikeout? Pineda, Perez, and Gibson make up over half the starting rotation. I don't know how much longer the Twins can just roll the dice with these three guys. I like Pineda and Gibby more than Perez at this point but I've had concerns about all 3 this season. Regardless of this loss, it was nice to see Buxton and Polanco both go yard. And Cruz is back! Looks like the offense is going to have to carry this team and it appears they're capable. Hopefully they can stay relaxed and not feel too much pressure today. Just relax, grab a win, everything will be just fine.
  16. Gonna need a replacement for Perez in this starting rotation, or coach Johnson needs to figure this out quick.
  17. Cubs signed kimbrel, just announced.
  18. No way...2 minutes? Perez took an hour to give up those runs. Slow and painful.
  19. "damp grass"? Honestly I had no idea they had outdoor baseball in Japan. Every single highlight I've ever seen in my entire life has been from inside a dome.
  20. Cruz looked rusty.He might have some additional rough ABs in the next couple of games, dude's been out a month. The good news is that he's back! In the long run his presence is a huge plus for this team. I think we need to temper expectations on Garver a bit. He was on a hot streak that was simply unsustainable.
  21. I wonder about this...can he be effective in one inning, late in a ball game? He seems to spend a lot of time warming up and kind of working out the kinks. Most of the damage he's suffered seems to be early, then he settles in. I'm not against the move, just wonder if it's more complicated that we think it might be.
  22. Per LENIII of the Strib: http://www.startribune.com/twins-confirm-interest-in-signing-pitchers-dallas-keuchel-craig-kimbrel/510740322/
  23. HR by Schoop looking even bigger now, as long as this lead holds up!
