    Wow - Bert, Richard, and Kaat today? Nice. Let's play 2 and win 2, fellas. Need to get back on track after that stumble against Toronto. 71 degrees out there today, here's to playing in good weather moving forward. Let's see if the bats warm up. How about Cruz and Scoop both go yard today against their old team?

    Alexi Casilla plays for the non-MLB affiliated York Revolution in the Independent League.

    Brian Dozier batting .182 with 2 solo shots (accounting for all his RBI this year) in Washington so far. Hasn't been a great start for Doz.

    Bad job of two out hitting with runners in scoring position, advancing runners, doing the little things. This team looks like it could be great, but they will have to start playing smarter. The talent is there.

    Oooof, brutal series against the bottom feeders of the AL East at home.
  6. bighat
    So we're sure that was foul off the bat of Polanco? Could Baldelli challenge that?
  7. bighat
    Because Baldelli doesn't want to blatantly disrespect either guy and wants to get them at bats. Both of them are kinda struggling, but both have hit HRs in this series and Rocco wants to keep giving them plate appearances.

    What we know so far: The offense is good, and will get better, especially once Sano gets back. Marwin seems to be the only guy on the team that we should be legitimately concerned about, offensively. Pitching is a huge problem, this team could be looking a lot like the Texas Rangers pretty soon with lots of losses with scores like 12-8. The two biggest MLB players still available are pitchers. The ghosts of Keuchel and Kimbrel are going to haunt the Twins every time there's a bad pitching performance, fair or not.

    Rosie again! Man, that guy never quits and is always going 100% no matter what.
  10. bighat
    Wow, swinging at a hot garbage ball 4 pitch there Gonzo. Ugh, another instance of Twins stranding guys out there. Same old broken record.
  11. bighat
    Buchholz been living on the edge all day, seems like the Twins continue to miss opportunities to make him pay. Twins have continuously had 2 men on and 2 out and can't get the big hit. And here we are again in that same situation.
  12. bighat
    When's the last time Max delivered when the Twins needed a big hit?
  13. bighat
    Dang, Buxton JUST missed a HR there. Too bad Astudillo couldn't score there, but Bux hit the ball too hard!
  14. bighat
    Ooof, brutal inning for Pineda. Twins gonna lose 3 out of 4 to the hapless Jays? Ouch, not cool guys.
  15. bighat
    Would have been a solo shot if not for that little blooper that Cron couldn't quite grab. Defense was fine on that, just bad luck. A shame to see Pineda pay for that.
  16. bighat
    Eddie is the best!
  17. bighat
    Cruz has been as advertised.
  18. bighat
    And that's why you challenge that call. Would have been out of the inning instead of down 1-0.
  19. bighat
    Dude, that was a sure fire out if the Twins challenge that play. Odorizzi picked Galvis off first base, no question.
  20. bighat
    Apologies for monopolizing the board, but here are the lineups: BLUE JAYS Sogard 2B Galvis SS Grichuk RF Smoak 1B Hernandez LF Tellez DH Drury 3B McKinney RF Malle C Thorton RHP TWINS Kepler RF Polanco SS Cruz DH Rosario LF Cron 1B Gonzalez 3B Schoop 2B Castro C Buxton CF Odorizzi RHP

    Appears they're going to really push to get this game played, all signs point to YES: http://www.startribune.com/twins-plan-to-wait-out-tonight-s-rain-play-game-vs-jays-as-scheduled/508722822/

    Enjoy your youth. Before you know it, you'll be saying things like "I remember when Byron Buxton stole 40 bases in a row" and people will say "okay gramps, enough about those 2019 Twins already. Do you need a nap?"

    I'd keep Cave and send Astudillo to the minors. If La Tortuga doesn't break out of his shell (0 for his last 13) soon, he's on the fast track to Rochester when Sano returns and I'm fine with it. A-Stud has options left and it's realistically the smart and logical move. Call him back up in case of injury or IL stint for any of the regulars. Easy. I think people are way too quick to assume that Sano is a terrible fielder. Not sure if that's just because he's big, or because he's easy to criticize, or both. But it's simply not true. He's not Brooks Robinson, and he may even be a bit below average, but his defense isn't something that should keep him out of the lineup. He's a great athlete and I think he'll improve with more playing time there. The Twins are going to need to score 8 runs per game if they want to win games when Berrios isn't on the mound. Sano should be given every opportunity to get into the lineup full time. With Sano, this lineup could prove to be one of the most dominant in MLB.
  24. bighat
    Yeah this is a pretty good comment. Good observation about executing in the 9th offensively. And you're right, the Twins do have a little junk yard dog in them.
  25. bighat
    The Twins have played the fewest games in baseball to this point. Maybe it's time for Rocco just to play his "A" lineup for the foreseeable future? Sitting Cron, Cruz, and Scoop in the same game seems a bit conservative at this point. Still kinda miffed about Kepler swinging at that first pitch, grounding into a DP with Buxton on 1st....Polanco goes yard the next at bat...a 3-run HR turns into a solo shot. Eeef. Not blaming A-Stud for anything, but it looks like he's the odd man out (injuries withstanding) when Sano comes back. Odorizzi on the hill tonight. Yikes. Here's hoping he gets his mojo back and repeats that early season masterpiece against Cleveland.
