  1. Yeah the radar's looking pretty bad. Seems like it might clear out but not until about 9:30 or so local time. I suppose they could delay the start but it just doesn't look like they'll get this one in. A shame! Would hate to see them play 2 tomorrow, seems a bit early for a double-header.
  2. Exactly, man. Should we bench Gonzalez and Rosario now because they're hitting below .200 after 5 games so we can see Astudillo? If we had Mike Trout or a player of that caliber, do you bench him for Astudillo because Trout's had a bad first week? I completely get that people want to see A-Stud in the lineup. I do too. But with 5 games in the book you can't just bench players. They need ABs to get on track.
  3. My guess is that (if the game is played) tomorrow, he'll be used as a pinch hitter. It appears that he'll now be catching every 3rd day (ie: 2x per week) and then filling in at 3B/LF max once per week. There's just no room at the inn right now. Who you gonna take out of the lineup?
  4. Looks like rain in Philly tomorrow. Possible PPD unfortunately looming for the Twins/Phillies.
  5. I guess I'm the only one who doesn't think the Adrianza play was that bad. It was an in-between play and it wasn't easy. It was terrible timing, which I think we are confusing with terrible fielding. Any predictions for Friday's starting nine?
  6. I'm not so sure I want to see that, to be honest. Does Rocco seem like the nicest, most aww-shucks guy or what? Everyone's great, everyone's a star, "Gibby was fantastic out there", etc. He made sure to heap praise on Buxton as a game-changer, etc. He's just so positive and full of 100% unconditional praise. Molitor would have mumbled something about how Astudillo "did OK but made some mistakes". I don't really care as long as they keep winning, just kinda noticed it.
  7. Oh heck yes, Max Kepler! I was wrong to boo ye earlier!
  8. Welp, Rocco should have PR for Garver there. Baldelli with a big learning curve right now.
  9. Gah, he can't do it all I guess. Would be nice if Kepler put a good swing on the ball just once this year, he's been abysmal and should be out of the leadoff spot by Friday.
  10. Haha, Rosario with some gamesmanship there. Just walked away!
  11. Awful at-bat by Eddie. Close your eyes and swing mode. Terrible bush league stuff from a guy who's lost. AND Astudillo crushes it. Unreal.
  12. This game looked un-loseable about 20 minutes ago.
  13. Bad inning from Gibby here. C'mon Gibby, what are you doing walking Hamilton, man?
  14. Great defense by the Twins that inning. Polanco's play was outstanding, but don't forget Gibson's great defensive play as well. I've always thought he should be considered for a Gold Glove.
  15. Astudillo and Adrianza playing their way into more ABs, while Austin seems to be solidifying his last spot on the bench. He's the first to go when Sano returns I'm guessing. BTW, anyone else not feeling too excited about Sano right about now? I'm not sure a .215 hitter who strikes out 30% of the time is going to help this lineup. I guess we'll just wait and see. But the Twins don't look like they need him right now.
  16. I have no problem with the Twins being aggressive there. He wasn't out by a mile, plus Garver made it to 3rd on the throw home. The worst case scenario there was having a man on 3rd with 1 out, which is what we had.
  17. Garver and Adrianza getting it done with RISP.
  18. A-Stud is playing his way into the every day lineup before our eyes.
  19. Eddie Hustle! Homer Bailey with the jerk reaction showing up his fielders.
