    Rack another hit up on that "Mauer Meter"!
  2. bighat
    Amazing robbery by Springer there! Dang.

    While Sano's big hits were "unsustainable", can we also agree that his record-setting strikeout pace is also unsustainable? I'm just as upset as the next guy, but he's got to get better...right?
  4. bighat
    Guess we're on the same wavelength here.
  5. bighat
    Not sure if this has been addressed yet...but are Twins fans doing this "wooo" thing that's currently ruining baseball in cities like Pittsburgh?
  6. bighat
    Haha, oh man. My bad.
  7. bighat
    Jake O needs to throw strikes to that #9 batter. Gee whiz man.
  8. bighat
    C'mon Jake, let's put up a zero after your team gives you the lead here.
  9. bighat
    Grossman! Here comes "OH-NO".

    100% agreed. Going back to the 2nd half of 2017, Rogers has been one of the Twins' worst relievers. The Twins aren't short on bullpen arms, I also have no idea why anyone else wasn't pitching to Correa. Rosario: he hasn't been smooth out there, but the guy wants to win and CAN hit. Remember that throw a couple of nights ago in Pittsburgh? C'mon, give him a break. Sano striking out 3 times: barf. The Twins offense in general: terrible. Silver linings: Buxton has gone 0-4 his past two games but has NOT struck out in any of those at bats. He's putting the ball in play, that's huge. Those grounders are going to turn into singles real soon gang. Lynn: Hey, we'll take it. LoMo: Remember the Kendrys Morales experiement? This feels way too familiar. LaMarre & Grossman should be splitting at bats at DH right now. Get Kennys Vargas warmed up down there in Rochester.
  11. bighat
    Agreed! The Twins are lucky to have snapped up Vargas again on waivers. They won 85 games last year with Vargas & Grossman DH'ing, maybe it's time to go back to that formula.

    Will Molitor wait until the Twins are 4-12 to take Morrison and Castro out of the every day lineup?
  13. bighat
    Just awful. He needs to grab some bench. Give LaMarre or Grossman a shot, this is unbearable.

    Gotta say I'm kind of shocked to see all this grousing about cold weather...from Minnesotans, donch'a know! The players have all been living in warmer climates since last October. They're not as maxed out and annoyed as you - they can play a few games in the cold, and they will. Just because you are at the end of your ropes, that doesn't mean ol' Joe Mauer can't play in a 40-degree night game. In a week, this subject will be a distant memory. Until then, watch the games at home on your TV. Twins home games in April are OK, and outdoor baseball is the right thing in the long run. I think you are all just having a serious grouch about this long winter. I don't blame you, but leave baseball out of this!

    Berrios had a no-hitter going, I think that's the only reason Sano threw that ball. Ended up being a bad decision, but I understand why he didn't put the ball in his pocket and instead took a chance.
  16. bighat
    Add me to the list of fans clamoring for LaMarre. Logan Morrison could use a few days off, nothing wrong with sitting a guy who's struggling. Buxton went 0-4 yesterday but importantly did not strike out. He's ahead of where he was last year at this time...really hoping he starts making meaningful contributions offensively soon.
  17. bighat
    I think we're starting to see why Morrison was available at such a discount.
  18. bighat
    How about Lamarre? Getting the start in the home opener and getting a base rap right off the bat. Grossman 0-4 today....is it possible Lamarre eventually lands in the right-handed DH spot and is the primary 4th outfielder? I'd be worried if I were Grossman.... Great comeback win! Nice to see Rodney put together a few scoreless (although not clean) innings over the past few nights, and get the save last night. We'll take it.
  19. bighat
    Thanks Carole! I posted in the other thread about the issue. Go Twins!
  20. bighat
    Chiming in - this has been happening to me as well. Only during game times, only during what appears to be "heavy usage time" for the forum. For example, at the start of the game yesterday, I had no issues. However, when the Twins were making a comeback effort in the 6th, I got a lot of "website time out" notifications and really slow loading. I was using Firefox. If it happens today I'll send a screenshot or anything else you might need.

    I've had some trouble logging into the site during game action - is TwinsDaily "down" for anyone else during peak times?
  22. bighat
    Anyone else notice the Pirates are 4-0? The only undefeated team in MLB right now. Let's knock 'em off their high horse!
  23. bighat
    Yeah, but it puts teams like the Twins at a severe disadvantage to start the season on a 15-game road trip. Ain't fair. Say the Twins come out of that trip with a 3-12 record, the season could be in the tank before it gets started. MLB schedule makers try to start teams like the Twins on the road, but not for too long.

    The first post on this topic mirrored my thoughts. Lynn, Rodney, and Duke have performed poorly so far, and Reed has been walking too many guys also. What gives? The Twins' old pitchers are doing great, but all the new bullpen guys and the big name starter (with apologizes to Mr. Odorizzi) have been disappointing so far. Twins pitchers last year didn't seem to walk many guys. The walks yesterday were a real shock to the system, not used to seeing that. I was clutching my pearls! What the heck? Offensively, I'm really hoping Sano's late-inning double yesterday gets him off his "HR or K" mentality. He's a great hitter when he's mixing in singles and doubles and not thinking about HRs only. That walk Sano took late in the game was also a step in the right direction. Similarly, Buxton didn't get hits in his two late ABs, but he also didn't strike out. In fact he put decent wood on the ball and got it in play. That GIDP by Dozier really took the wind out of the Twins' sails after a valiant comeback attempt. The upcoming weather forecast is just brutal. I realize the Astros and Mariners aren't scheduled to come back to Target Field, but I think that playing in 38 degrees with freezing rain simply isn't possible. I am guessing we'll see at least 2 games PPD in the homestand, if not more. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole M's series was cancelled and just rescheduled for the off days during the All-Star break or something. Crazy stuff.

    Curveball, high fastball, curveball in the dirt. That's how to strike out Buxton in 3 pitches. The Pirates know this, we know this...seems the Twins hitting coaches do not.
