    Beauty bunt, Polanco!

    Dang Kep, had to lay off that. Nice AB at least seeing some pitches.

    Game delayed until 6:35pm central, rats.

    Since ole' "Riverboat Rocco" is such a gambler tonight, I'd have loved him to go ALL IN and put Cruz in right field while he was at it. Oh well, I'll take A-Stud in the lineup any day of the week. He's the new super-sub!

    Big Erv has given up 5 runs in 3 innings so far in his White Sox debut. I always liked him as a player, here's hoping he turns it around (but of course we don't want to see him to TOO well).

    Frightened that de Grom will shred this lineup. Not saying I don't think we have a chance....but if we lose, it's going to be a frustrating evening for those of us watching.

    Old bullpen sightings: JT Chargois is now 28 years old. He failed to make the Dodgers' big league club out of camp and is in the minors. Alex Meyer is pushing 30 and is with the Angels on a minor league contract. He did not make the big league club out of Spring Training. Michael Tonkin is in the Brewers minor league system. Pat Light appears to be out of baseball, released by the Mariners' minor league system last April. Blaine Boyer played for the Royals last year but was released in August. It appears he's retired but will stay with the Royals and "will be doing some work in the organization in some capacity".

    San Fran is just gobbling up all these Twins fringe waiver players. Looks like Ziegler's more "organizational depth" than anything at this point, but he could be a nice player. We won't know for many years if the Twins got the better of this deal. Good luck Tyler, that chip on his (and his father's) shoulder is only going to get bigger.

    I think if the Twins are facing a right-handed pitcher, they're going to send Castro up there. Especially yesterday, since he'd gotten a hit earlier. They figured they'd "ride the hot hand" as it were. I know we're all down on Castro (me included) but the Twins can't afford to just give up on him after 8 games. They're going to need him to be at least a .230 hitter this year and that means giving him ABs.

    One of my "mailbag" questions to Seth was asking if Marwin's 0-fer in Spring Training should have us worried. He said NO....so maybe we should trust him. I mean, we do have a lot of baseball left. Let's see how Marwin's average is on May 15 before we start calling him a "bad signing". So far the offense has me frustrated. One game the Twins break out, the next game they fall silent. One game they execute, the next game they leave runners on 3rd base with 1 out. Right now I don't think this team really has a leader on offense when Cruz is out. I feel that Cruz has quickly proven himself the lynch pin for this offense. He gives the guys around him confidence. When he's out everyone's looking around for someone else to step up. Polanco and Kepler seem to be heating up. Nice to see Buxton bounce back from that 3-strikeout game by making contact in the following 2 games. Still waiting to see any kind of power from Jonathan Schoop. Marwin Gonzalez is cold. Cron is luke-warm but we're still waiting on a HR from him also. It's crazy that this team replaced almost half its offense with new guys! Can't wait for them to all settle in and get comfy at Target Field.

    Twins have matchups against de Grom and Syndegaard the next two games. Shoulda grabbed this game and ran. Instead they rolled over. Berrios deserved better. If the Twins can't hit Zach Eflin, it's gonna be a long 2 games in New York to start the week.
  12. bighat
    Maybe they think now is the best chance they'll have to slip him through waivers? Before any major injuries and before any teams realize their current options at 1B are failing?
  13. bighat
    Also hoping they can find a way to get Cruz into the game today. Pinch hit, RF, whatever.
  14. bighat
    Whenever Astudillo gets into the on deck circle, I'm absolutely glued to the TV/laptop to watch his at bats. You're right it's absolutely "must see" at this point. Hope they find a way to get him into the lineup today. If I was guessing, Marwin will be back in the lineup today and Castro starts at catcher. Maybe Rocco gives Schoop the day off, and moves Marwin to 2nd? A-Stud starts at 3rd?
  15. bighat
    Interesting to hear Rocco credit Shelton for the double-switch that gave Rosie a chance to bat in the 9th. Sounds like Shelton's been earning his money so far this year in the early goings. Cool to see Baldelli give credit where it was due also.

    Nice writeup - quick correction: Twins do play tomorrow @ Philly. I think you even listed it in the "upcoming" section.
  17. bighat
    Philly's 7-8 hitters are Realmuto and Franco? Jeez, that's Yankee-like.
  18. bighat
    Rosario is a monster in the late innings so far this year.
  19. bighat
    ROSIE! OH YES SWEET BABY JEEBUS!
  20. bighat
    Ok Bux, got 'em over. Love to see him try and succeed to hit the ball to right. Well done. No strikeouts today for Bux either.
  21. bighat
    Why isn't Cruz hitting for Adrianza here? Could slot Marwin right into 3rd base for the bottom of the 9th.
  22. bighat
    3-2 game and Rocco hasn't found a way to use Cruz at all? Two straight days on the bench?
  23. bighat
    Good grief, finally my heart rate can return to normal. What a crazy inning, Phils had no business having the bases loaded there.
  24. bighat
    Geez how many strikes is this ump going to call a ball and swing it in the Phillies' favor?
  25. bighat
    Hey, I resemble that remark.
