    Rodgers stinks. Has stunk since July of 2017. We keep running him out there like he's Andrew Miller for some reason. Guy should be in Chattanooga throwing BP to other teams' prospects.

    Nor did Grossman's lumbering play there in right field. Nor did Berrios' bad pitching.

    Berrios looking pretty bad today, sorry to say it.

    Legitimate question: Is Eduardo Escobar the best player on the team?

    Tuned back in around the 7th inning to see Duke had men on 1st and 3rd with nobody out. I just about fainted. In the 9th, Rodney's walks just about had me doubled over in pain. But, just like in his other outings, most of the contact made off Rodney was pretty weak. Staying on Rodney here: aside from the Sanchez and Adam Jones home runs, he really hasn't been getting crushed. More like seeing-eye singles, dribblers, flares, ground balls taking high bounces off the mound, etc. Maybe he's not 100% bad, more like 30% bad and 70% unlucky? I wonder how Garver hits against right-handed pitchers? I feel so relieved right now. A 'W', thank jeebus.

    So...does anyone really want to watch this game? Maybe if we all just close our eyes and don't pay attention, the Twins will win when we aren't looking.

    Kurt is raking in ATL right now: .292, 4 HR, 12 RBI, .891 OPS.

    Buxton has a hairline fracture in his toe, looks like this DL stint could last until June. Sano also probably out a few days with a hamstring injury.

    Hmmm. I am not sure the Playoffs are out of reach just yet. But I'm certainly worried about what a terrible streak, early in the season, can do to a team. In 2016 that early losing streak set the tone and the season was over before it began. Polanco. Buxton. Santana. Those guys matter, the team isn't the same without them. Molitor isn't managing well but he can't go out there and pitch or hit in the clutch, which seem to be the main problems right now. Heck, even the defense is bad. Everything's a problem. Did I mention Santana? Oh to have a cold-blooded stopper who comes to work every day with a smile on his face.

    Is this really happening? Are things going to be okay?

    "Let's say they sweep the Reds. Everything's going to be pretty decent at that point, they'll be 11-12". We all love some good ol'e homer-ism. But this is a bit over the top, sounds kinda like a Packers fan or something. While there's nothing wrong with hoping for a sweep, this Twins team is one of the worst in baseball right now. This is not the 2017 model we're working with here. What we've got in 2018 is a shallow husk of what the Twins once were. I for one just hope they win 1 damn game this weekend.

    Yeeps, the Jepsen fiasco was awful. And yeah, Rodney's there. I was a big defender of his early and even kind of gave him a pass when he blew the game earlier this week. But dang. I think at this point, even Rodney fans have to be honest: he's pitched like garbage.
  13. bighat
    Edited my post: I wasn't referring to you personally when I mentioned the "curse" stuff. I'm just annoyed right now (like most Twins fans). Bring on the Reds?
  14. bighat
    I for one was shocked. There's no way this Twins team is THIS BAD, I thought. Right now, the Twins are one of the worst teams in MLB. Longest losing streak in MLB, and they're at the bottom of the pile in the win column as well. Blowing games they surely had in the bank (Tampa, NYY). It's afternoons like this that I have to remember that life goes on. Much worse things have happened to many people today. It's pretty sad that I have to reach that far to feel a bit better, but the Twins are really making me feel pretty low! PS - For anyone out there giving the Twins a free pass today, I'm completely sick of the "Yankee Curse" talk. These are professional athletes. There's no such thing as a "curse". I bet the Yankees or their fans don't have a clue about it either - they just see the Twins the same as they do the Tigers, Reds, and Padres. A crap team that's good for an easy victory.

    Same here! Turned off gameday, just peeked back. *#^#$!!@^&@*
  16. bighat
    A loss here would be very deflating.
  17. bighat
    Grossman auditioning for that left-handed DH spot.
  18. bighat
    Twins offense seems disinterested at this point. Bullpen's got one more run to work with here. Duke and Rodney going to do it?
  19. bighat
    Garver can't play defense.
  20. bighat
    I'm worried. The Twins have spent all day against a very hitable Montgomery and haven't much to show for it. A 2-0 lead ain't much against these Yanks, especially in this bandbox. Gibby's looking good but the offense really needs to tack on just a couple more.
  21. bighat
    6 straight L's. I was worried about that stat, it got me thinking: I wonder if any teams lost 6 in a row and made the playoffs last year? Turns out the first two teams I checked (Cubs, Yankees) both had 6 and 7 game losing streaks last year, respectively. So is it OVER for the Twins? No. Are they in deep doo-doo? Yes. Logan Morrison's ABs with the bases loaded last night were just cringe-worthy. The guy is killing us night after night. Lynn ain't much better, but he only kills us once every 5 days.
  22. bighat
    This "oh well, we always lose to the Yankees anyways" schtick is getting old. If the Twins are the playoff contender we thought they were, they should be able to win a game or two on the road. Tonight's the night! I can feel it down in my plums!

    Maybe Molitor will put his great motivational skills on display before gametime. I heard last year he gave the young players a nickel to go see a picture show. Maybe this year he'll buy a few packs of saltine crackers and let the players divvy them up for a special treat? Ervin Santana, where are you? Great clubhouse guy, classic stopper. He's the guy we need on the mound right now. Byron Buxton, where are you? Those great defensive plays get the team fired up! Hitting looks awful. Pitching looks bad. Overall the team just seems to lack motivation and fire. They need to wake up. Time for Brian Dozier to hold a player's only.
  24. bighat
    I've switched over to the Angels / Astros game to watch Ohtani pitch. Thank Jeebus for MLB.TV. Maybe lightning will strike and the Twins will take the last 2 games of this Yanks series and go on a tear. I think they could really use Buxton back in the lineup. Egads things are ugly right now.
  25. bighat
    I think you're right. Down 2 right now but it feels like they're down by 10. This team is falling back to earth. The Reds can't get to town soon enough.
