    Why do I watch? I just want to enjoy a game and have positive things to say...seems like it's been weeks since there's been anything fun to talk about.
  2. bighat
    This Astudillo-for-Rosario stuff may not matter in the long run if Reed can't get it together here.
  3. bighat
    Molitor wasted Grossman as a PH and then double-switched Cave out of the game.
  4. bighat
    OMG Willians Astudillo coming in to the game to play outfield!?!?! He didn't even have a glove...Rosario had to hand his over. No other options for the Twins in that situation?

    I'm frustrated the Twins front office pretty much decided to let the season get away from them while sitting on their hands and doing nothing. Changes are risky, but when you're bad, not changing anything is the most dangerous thing you can do. The front office has been watching this ship go down for the last 2 months, and nobody's lifted a finger. Belisle? Astudillo? Really? Molitor isn't the long term answer, everyone knows he's not the guy to lead this team to the next step. Firing him is almost too easy...I can't see how the guy still has a job. Any other MLB team he'd be long gone, hiring this local guy was a terrible decision in the first place and now we're seeing why.

    Which is ridiculous, because the throw beat him by a country mile. That's on Garver.
  7. bighat
    Dang, I bet that run counts. Garver can't play catcher anymore, this is getting ridiculous.
  8. bighat
    My thoughts exactly, seemed like a bad move to take him out AFTER the GS.
  9. bighat
    LOL same here. Turned it on, first pitch grand slam...guh! Pressly just needs to get out of this inning with no more runs to give the Twins a chance. Here's hoping he doesn't implode or I just might...

    Why pull Berrios here? Addison Russell just hit a shallow fly ball that on 364 days per year is caught in left field. Going to the bullpen now seems like a bad decision IMO. I'd have left him out there to at least finish the frame.... Also, it seems like the Twins always get jobbed in quirky bandbox stadiums like Yankee Stadium, now in Wrigley, etc.

    Interesting DFA'ing Jorge. He had a cup of coffee with the team last year and picked up a win as a starter...of course, he did also have a 10.57 ERA during those 2 starts. When the year began I had him pegged as a possible guy to be called up in September. Things must not be going too well for Mr. Jorge. 3 catchers, eh?

    Nobody wants Morrison, period. Dozier's and Santana's values are at an all time low. Terrible timing for a struggling team. Rosario's staying put. Lynn and Escobar are the only players that might get a decent return. Rodney/Reed might get you flyers on low-level minor leaguers. That's really it. Rough year. Can't even be sellers effectively because nobody wants what the Twins have.

    Here's the definition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Save_(baseball)

    Looks like the corresponding move is putting another minor leaguer (Jordan Pacheco) on the minor league DL, according to MLBtraderumors website. Meh. The story here is that the Twins are desperately seeking catching help/depth.
  15. bighat
    Dick said it: "Ugliest win of the year". He forgot to add: "In the major leagues". We'll take it?
  16. bighat
    Just checked the score quick, couldn't help myself....wish I could have helped myself. Rhett Bolinger tweets: #MNTwins signed former Angels catcher Juan Graterol to a Minor League deal. He's assigned to Triple-A Rochester.
  17. bighat
    Totally agree 100%. Vargas has never been this bad, in fact he was pretty solid during his time on the team last year. Ditching Vargas for Morrison was a terrible decision, but it can be fixed. Demote Lomo, bring up Kennys.
  18. bighat
    Maybe the Twins throw a curveball and send Sano and Buxton to the Mets for one of those guys. Wouldn't that be sumthin?
  19. bighat
    And that's exactly where he should be, for the rest of the season! Logan Morrison was a bad signing. No two ways around it. The Twins are in terrible positions with so many players already (ie: Buxton, Sano)...they should cut dead weight with Morrison to lighten their workload. He's absolutely toxic at this point.
  20. bighat
    There are other leagues besides MLB. Maybe the kid can sign on in Japan, Mexico, Venezuela, the D.R....away from what would be a nightmare scenario playing here in the USA. The information leaked and you can't turn a pickle back into a cucumber. I can't see an MLB team wanting this kid anywhere near a major league mound...can you imagine the backlash? The headlines will be something like : "Convicted Child Abuser to pitch for Royals vs. Detroit". It also appears that most MLB players do not want him in their clubhouses. He will have to look abroad IMO, or find a regular job doing entry level data processing in an office cubicle.

    Time to clean house. I think Gene Glynn would be a nice interim manager for the rest of the season. Adrianza keeps this up and the Twins may be able to get a decent minor leaguer for him at the deadline. Max Kepler's BA is down to .220.... This game really did change in that 6th inning. Twins need the next 2, or it's gonna be a long road trip.
  22. bighat
    For years I've said "LEAVE BASEBALL ALONE" - pitch clock, mound visits, leaving the batter's box...I never really had a problem with any of it. But I've started to change my tune. The amount of strikeouts is almost unbearable. More strikeouts than hits this year, if I remember correctly. It's become an all-or-nothing game....with "nothing" seemingly being the most frequent outcome. The Twins are a good example of a team that's become really hard to watch. Not just for Twins fans, but for anyone. The first 4 innings typically feature a walk, no hits, and about 7 strikeouts from the offense. At that point it's just time to turn off the tube.

    And I wonder why the Powers that Be thought Motter was better? Petit batted .308 in 26 at bats this year. Nobody expected him to be Dustin Pedrioa, he wasn't, but he seemed to at least be able to spot start with efficiency. Motter's younger and can play OF. But Petit is a better ballplayer. Isn't that the most important thing in the end?
  24. bighat
    Kinda baffled on how the Twins just kind of passed him over this year, Mejia hasn't even been mentioned too often. I find that odd considering he was with the team most of last year, and pitched well as a 24 year-old lefty. The Twins gave up a guy having an All-Star season (Nunez) to get him, seems only right they'd really see what they have with Mejia.
  25. bighat
    Going to the in-laws for lunch instead of watching the game. Never thought a visit to the in-laws would be more enjoyable than watching a Twins game, but here we are! Hoping Berrios can shut TX down and the Twins can take care of Bartolo. He's not a soft-throwing journeyman lefty, meaning the Twins have a chance! A sweep would be devastating.
