    We got one!

    I don't like bringing in Rodney here. He pitched last night, it's not a save situation. Why not bring in Mr. Magoo first and just let 'em work?

    Long live Gregor Petit!

    Watching the game and I think Kepler would have been dead meat at home. I was also frustrated they didn't go, but watching the replay I think he'd have been out. Not a great read on that ball.

    Kepler and Escobar, doing their best to get some insurance here!

    Castro gunning down the runner, his defense is making a difference! The bad news: Rodney's going to face Pillar to open up the 9th. Oh lord help us.

    Molitor seems pretty set with this Duke-Reed-Rodney "rotation" in the bullpen. I know it looks good on paper, but what about bringing in guys to get 1-2 outs instead of going for them the whole inning? Lots of managers will bring in a pitcher to get one out, then bring in another guy to get the following 2 batters, etc. Has Molitor ever tinkered like this? Or is that kind of bullpen management too complicated for him?

    Seems the hitters have left a lot of runs on the bases today.

    Duke starting to get hot here.

    Grossman doesn't make the play on a foul ball, guy gets a hit the next pitch. Great.
  11. bighat
    Nice catch on that foul ball, Grossman. Just kidding.

    So my girlfriend's brother went to Romania a few months ago. It snowed, and he was pretty excited because it was the first time he's ever seen snow! How about that, eh? Say, anyone ever been on a safari? I think it would be cool to see a rhino up close, in the wild. But then again, I wonder if the other tourists would ruin it. I mean, I went to Playa del Carmen this past winter and absolutely would never go again, just too many touris......what's that? Baseball? What's baseball?

    Thanks for the update! Enns was part of the Garcia flip, wasn't he? I think he was kind of a "throw in", the major piece was Littell...looks like Enns was indeed just window dressing after all. Petit, a journeyman. Guess that's the right move, veteran, etc. Would have loved to see Gordon get a shot, move Esco to 3rd for a few games. Oh well. Go Twins!

    "there is a lot of baseball left" could also be a negative. The problem with this statement is that the way the Twins are playing, a 23-17 run over the next 40 games seems highly improbable. Impossible even. It's like getting straight Ds and Fs all semester, and then saying: "Well, if I get straight A's next semester I'll have my GPA back to a 2.0". I like the positive attitude and the spin. But let's be honest: we're here to gripe and complain. We're frustrated and ticked off. The only thing that's going to make us feel better are: 1. Twins wins 2. More cowbell Pep talks and 'what ifs' aren't my cup o' tea right now, unfortunately! I wish they were. I like your positive spin. I truly hope the Twins do get on a roll.

    I agree. Problem is, by the time Santana comes back it's going to be too late. No one player is going to turn around a season on June 1 if the Twins are 20 games below .500 at this point. Last night was the first time I thought: hmm, I wonder what the Twins are going to get for Dozier at the trade deadline? I wouldn't be angry if the Twins were just hanging around .500, dropping a game here and there, etc. But to see them spiral out of control like this is just infuriating to watch. So early. We were all so excited and waited all off season, only to see the season go into the tank by May 1? We fans didn't sign up for this. We just had a "lost season" in 2016. That type of total system failure should be a once-per-decade experience. To have this dismal 2018 come just 2 years after the infamous 2016 collapse is too much to bear.

    Woo! Thanks man.

    Time to redeem yourself, Garver.

    Who's starting Wednesday? Hughes to the pen they said.
  19. bighat
    Lynn should be out of this inning, not his fault.
  20. bighat
    It was foul, but still another terrible defensive play by Garver. Dick is coming to his defense a bit too strongly...he just called it "a great play by Garver".
  21. bighat
    Garver just made one of the most bone-headed plays in the history of baseball.

    I have never thought of Molitor as a "player's manager", nor have I ever heard that. From what I understand, he got the job because he was a Hall of Fame local guy, and got extended because the Twins made the playoffs in a down year in the AL. Period.

    I have been silently worrying about this exact same thing. Bux wasn't exactly on fire when he went to the DL. He's got a terrible history of poor starts, and if you factor in the Twins' early season schedule plus all this missed time...well, the writing's on the wall. Buxton is basically going to be starting over from Day 1 upon his return. The Twins are going to have to stick with him, in order to get him back up to speed. This team can't afford yet another cold bat, but they absolutely have to stick with Buxton no matter what. In short: the only way this Twins team can keep their season alive is if Byron Buxton and his bad toe comes out on fire in the batters box upon his return.

    Duffey, my god.

    Here comes Mr. Magoo. Can't get any worse.
