  1. Cron should be on 3rd base with a tag there.
  2. That was strike 3 to McCutcheon there. Umps seem to be drinking the MLB public relations kool-aid in regards to the Phillies here.
  3. Holy smokes! Astudillo!
  4. Not a huge fan of this move by the Twins. Essentially they're just cutting Austin loose because they needed another pitcher for a few games? De Jong is pretty much a mop-up guy at this point as well, just a long reliever to be used in blowouts. I'm sure there's more to it. But this seems just so extremely short-sighted. This is a long season.
  5. Nice work getting out of a jam after giving up the leadoff double by Pineda there.
  6. 2 pitches, 2 outs. Seriously? Have they not talked about this yet?
  7. No Rosario nor Cruz either. We've got Adrianza and Cave in there. Would this be considered a "getaway day" lineup? Interesting seeing Astudillo in the 2 spot and Polanco hitting 3rd. A sign of things to come?
  8. The Twins played poorly, also did get some poor calls against them. Nothing great to say about any of it except the Polanco cycle. Oh, and Kepler finally got a hold of one which was nice. I thought Rocco did a decent job of mixing and matching with those double-switches. Remember when Molitor screwed the pooch in Dodger Stadium because he couldn't figure out NL rules? Nice to see our guy can strategize. Razzie awards: Rosario looked just terrible everywhere. It's rare for him to slack in the OF and to look so lost at the plate. Gonzalez has also seemed pretty bad lately at the plate, swinging at stuff in the dirt. Schoop seems to go 1-4 with a single every game. Haven't seen much power from him at all so far, here's hoping it arrives soon. Buxton already missing 1/3 of the season due to injury isn't what I wanted to see. He'll be back in there today...has he fallen into a K-hole or will he make contact today and get back on track?
  9. I use CBS game tracker....alas, they've got a twitter feed that scrolls on the side that features reporters who cover each team. Including Mike Bernardino, who left the Pioneer Press 8 months ago to cover sports in Indiana. So tonight's Twins/Phillies game tracker feed is full of insightful tweets about Notre Dame women's basketball.
  10. Yep. Clean single to left, Rosario fielded it and just...held the ball. He just never threw it in. Harper noticed and just kept running. It's pretty much exactly what Rosario does to opposing players all the time, yet he let Harper do it to him. Think the guy needs a day off tomorrow, he's a train wreck tonight.
  11. Wow. Rosario didn't get it into the infield soon enough there. Awful game from Eddie tonight. This team looks pretty terrible tonight. Really ugly stuff.
  12. 8 walks issued by the Twins tonight? Wow. Lots of mistakes by this team tonight. These ain't the Royals. And here comes Harper. Might take the drama out of the last 2 frames if he connects here.
  13. Terrible call by the ump there on Marwin. He barely flinched.
  14. Rosario looked incredibly uncomfortable that entire at bat.
  15. He did. Philly came in with a lefty to start the inning, so Rocco sent Garver into the game.
  16. Is this a 3-run Twins v. Phillies game, or is Dick moderating Talking Volumes with famous author Justin Morneau, in studio discuss his debut novel: "Baseball Memoirs"? I dunno, maybe I'm just ticked off still about Perez. Sorry Justin.
  17. So is Jake Odorizzi apparently. Between Gibby, Odorizzi, and Perez the Twins might need to start thinking about either using Mejia in the rotation or go back to the drawing board and sweetening up a deal for Keuchel.
  18. Perez should have been pulled a batter ago. He needs to go now.
  19. Castro and his "framing skills" didn't come in too handy on that borderline pitch just now. Could have been strike 3, instead the guy walks.
  20. Perez walks a guy on 4 pitches and falls behind 2-0 on the next guy. C'mon dude, get it together and get the final out of the inning here.
  21. I think Gonzalez and School are good enough to warrant being in the every day lineup for at least the first week of the season. Agree to disagree, I guess.
  22. When the Twins had a feeble offense Castro and his .215 batting average could hide in the 8 spot and nobody would notice. At this point though, he looks completely exposed as the worst hitter on the team by a large margin (pending a Buxton meltdown).
