  1. Cleveland is blanking Baltimore 7-0 late in the game today, looks like the Twins won't be gaining any ground. Motivation for a sweep!
  2. I remember an article about them in the STrib - maybe 5-6 years ago when they were both playing A ball. They used to hang out and go fishing together down in Florida during the season to kill time and hang out before games and on off days. They've been tight for a while.
  3. Per Dustin Morse's Twitter, interesting bullpen stat: Blake Parker 1.17 ERA (12Ks) Taylor Rogers 1.47 ERA (25Ks) Ryne Harper 1.50 ERA (14Ks) Mike Morin 1.50 ERA (5Ks) Matt Magill 2.00 ERA (12Ks) Trevor May 2.76 ERA (15Ks)
  4. Mariner's starting pitcher had this to say, BTW: ''Those guys over there, there's not much you can say,'' LeBlanc said. ''I want to say that's the best hitting team I've ever faced in my life. That's how they looked tonight.''
  5. "The Grain Belters" "Mill City Mashers" "First Avenue Heavy" Too bad for Berrios....but eh, he'll get over it. Honestly sitting so long between innings had to throw him off. He pitched like a guy with a 15-0 lead: throw it down the middle and just let the other guys swing. I see no reason to worry at all about him. Good grief that was fun to watch. Buxton and Sano going yard, Bux with a grand salami! We are doing this all without Cruz and Garver. Castro is having a career year at the plate. Adrianza is our worst offensive player? Oh yeah he went yard Friday and drove in a pair. Offensively I say keep these guys intact. Nobody needs replacing, don't mess with it. Deal some minor leaguers for a lights out bullpen guy or 2 at the deadline and just go for it.
  6. It's 65 degrees but I believe the roof is closed. Hasn't seemed to matter if it's open or closed this series though. I think as long as it's above 60 degrees this team can mash.
  7. You saw CJ Cron's 2nd HR though just now. Welcome to the party!
  8. Berrios gets killed by the shift more than any Twins pitcher I've seen. Maybe his stuff is so good that guys like Encarnacion and Pujols are so far ahead/behind that they hit the ball where they typically don't?
  9. They were talking about a bunch in the broadcast booth on Friday night, Dick went off on a tangent for a bit on Cron and mentioned how the next one will be 100 a few times. Not that you or anyone else should have known that, but Dick's call did make sense to those who saw yesterday's broadcast.
  10. Sano robbed of a double there by a judgement call. We need these robot umps pronto. In 50 years people will wonder how we stayed sane needlessly suffering with the human element. Great AB by Miguel there, fantastic BB.
  11. I belive LeBlanc handed the Twins a deflating loss last year, "LeBlanced" was the title here on TD if I remember correctly. Glad to see they're attacking him tonight.
  12. Maybe the Twins can trade for Austin Adams at the deadline and have 2 Austin Adamses in the bullpen! That dude for Seattle looked NASTY.
  13. Couple of guys commenting on Sano here and I'll add my .02. The good news: Twins can now afford bad nights like this from Sano. Or any other player. Schoop was struggling Thursday night. Buxton had a bad night last night at the plate, too. In the past if Sano went 0-5, the Twins likely lost or maybe just squeaked one out. Right now we can afford to let guys play their way out of slumps and I think it's an ideal situation for Sano to get his feet under him. While I agree those check-swings hit a sore spot last night, don't forget he did hit 2 doubles the other night! James Rowson and Rocco Baldelli and Tony Diaz are chilling out and Sano will start to get used to how they manage. It might relax him a bit. And Nelson Cruz is watching first hand. I personally can't wait until Nelson Cruz gets back in this lineup WITH Sano. He might just be the guy that can help the most (even though it's not his job).
  14. Guy looks like he could pitch 10 more right now.
  15. Ugh, Sano and that check swing at balls in the dirt.... Heckuva inning. Perez let's go 1-2-3.
  16. Ah! I believe I picked adrianza to click!
  17. Not sure if this has been mentioned on the broadcast or elsewhere - MLB caps today are in honor of Armed Forces Weekend. BTW, weren't the Twins wearing camo last year in Seattle also? We must have played the M's at the same time a year ago.
