    THESE PRETZELS ARE MAKING ME THIRSTY!

    It's a 2-0 count, should be 0-2. That check swing was a strike and so was the pitch right after that.

    Garver. My goodness man. Inning should be over.

    Way to get outta that one, Jose. The offense really really needs to start scoring runs here.

    Looks like Yankees batting practice has finally started. Surprised it took them 3 whole innings to threaten to break the game wide open.

    Mauer was simply trying lay down a surprise bunt - the 3rd baseman was waaaay back there. He just didn't get it past the pitcher. If Joe gets on there, he's a genius. So can we please stop making this 14-1 blowout the "Joe Mauer Bunt Game" already? We've got a lot of players to worry about. Joe Mauer isn't one of them.

    Morrison just doesn't seem like a good fit on this team for some reason. I've said it a dozen times already, but it reminds me of the Kendrys Morales experiment. The guy was great before he got to the Twins, and went on to succeed after he left the Twins. But in a Twins uniform, Morales was awful and it feels like Morrison is cut from the same jib.

    Bad start. Like many of you, I'm not feeling too good about this lineup. Pitchers or hitters. Not much to like right now.

    I'm watching the Yankees feed (MLB.TV didn't have the Twins' feed for some reason). The Yankees broadcasters were questioning why it was ruled a "sacrifice bunt" as well. But indeed it was scored a sac bunt by the official scorer, at least for now.

    Geez Louise, Odorizzi. Four pitch walk to open the game?

    This also confuses me. I saw this in Puerto Rico and thought "okay, maybe Molly's playing the veteran for the big nationally televised affair" (that was the only way I could justify it). LaMarre should be in the OF, not Grossman.

    Duke. Rodney. Lynn. These new additions have been disappointing. Sano seems to have basically said "screw it" and plans on literally hitting a HR or striking out every time. Rosario and Kep, gotta love 'em. Let's get Buxton back and get the OF together again! Twins can still take 2-of-3 from these guys, and they should.

    Well done, great story - thanks for sharing!

    The video interview with him above provides some insight. 1. Emotional day, emotional series for Berrios, manager pulled him to take pressure off. 2. Lots of bullpen guys needed work: many hadn't pitched in a week. 3. Berrios said Molitor mentioned this before the game, seemed cool with it.

    LaMarre's gotta get more playing time. All he does is play well when given the opportunity. Morrison looks fat, out of shape, and completely lost. I hope the Twins are trying to work out a trade to see if anyone will take him off their hands. Otherwise just DFA the guy.

    Mauer's postseason "clutch numbers" would be much higher if the umps didn't steal that huge double from him in New York many years ago.
  17. bighat
    Offense was very disappointing. Kluber was "on" and there's not much the Twins could do about it. Great teams can beat great pitchers. But tonight, after a 5-day layoff, traveling abroad, Buxton's migrane, etc...I'll give 'em a pass. No passes given for Logan Morrison though. He's used up all of his.
  18. bighat
    Morrison isn't even trying anymore.
  19. bighat
    Buxton. Migrane. Seriously?
  20. bighat
    Por fin, los Twins estan jugando beisbol hoy! Gracias a dios!

    Interesting discussion here regarding whether or not LaMarre deserves the 25th spot, why he made the team, etc. I like the chatter, good points. I personally think that the FO gave LaMarre the starting job to boost team morale. Forget the fans and statisticians for a minute. Ballplayers like to see good play rewarded. To a man, every single guy on the Twins will say LaMarre earned that spot by crushing the ball in ST and he won that 25th spot fair and square. I think it's sending a message as well: you play well, we'll give you a chance. I think that also helps the Twins' overall reputation in the league. Now LaMarre is already being moved around like a chess piece and probably will be up and down a few more times. I reckon at some point he'll be spending much more time in Rochester than in the Twin Cities. But I think the Twins clubhouse felt positively about LaMarre making the team. Maybe the FO was trying to make up for BH Park's demotion last year, or trying to protect their reputation. Either way I think that the other 24 guys in the Twins' clubhouse thought LaMarre earned that spot. Management was showing solidarity with those guys by bringing him to the Twin Cities.

    I believe the Chicago Cubs & Cleveland once used Miller Park to play a make-up game. And Carlos Zambrano threw a dang no-hitter, too! Remember the Astros using Tropicana as their "home field" for a few games last year? Why shouldn't the Twins use US Bank for a game or two? This is a record-breakingly snowy April, it's not like they'd need to do this all the time. I am guessing though, that the Twins don't want to start a pattern. If they use US Bank once, every rainout, fans will say "Just use US Bank" and it'll cause problems they don't want to deal with.

    You also just compared stats that reflected negatively on Mauer. For example, you didn't compare career averages as a catcher, season highs in batting average (none of those other guys ever batted .365), MVP trophies, or OBP. So I'm guessing you were kinda trying to bash Mauer in relation to those other guys. No problem with that, you are entitled to your opinion. And you made some good points also. I agree Mauer's got an uphill battle but I do think he deserves heavy consideration for the HOF.
  24. bighat
    None of them were catchers for the majority of their careers, though. I think that's Joe's ace in the hole.
  25. bighat
    Some talk about Joe's HOF chances on another thread. Thought I'd add some food for thought: Johnny Bench had 2,048 hits Mike Piazza had 2,127 hits Carlton Fisk had 2,356 hits Yogi Berra had 2,150 hits Joe? He's already at 2,000 and will likely surpass all these guys. Yeah yeah, he's been at first base for a few of those games. I don't think that hurts him as much as some of you think.
