    Phil Hughes. I heard him doing an ad on Twins radio the other day and I was like "huh. I remember that guy!" Paul Sorrento John Moses Brian Hunter Ron Davis John Castino

    Yikes. A game up on the Angels, one more game against Josh Donaldson today and have 3 games in the Bronx looming. If anyone's watched Mejia over the past coupla years, he looked probably just like you thought he'd look - rusty and not good. The Twins really need to get him pitching more efficiently. Maybe start by watching Bartolo or better yet Erv. Fielding woes are really sinking the Twins this series. Where are those bats? Did the Twins waste all their fire power during that 17-0 drubbing early this week? A win today would really steady the ship before the plane ride to NYC. Need this one today fellas!

    Agreed. This isn't a team that's going to win too many 3-0 or 2-1 games. How about this motto: "Score, score, score, and hold the other guys to four!"

    Looks like Escobar could use a day off. Adrianza at 3rd tomorrow?

    Perkins is with the team because he has Minnesota ties and did well for the team back in the day. The Twins think they owe him something. It's not a good reason, but that's the reason. He's clearly lost it and it ain't coming back.

    Rogers, Duffey, Boshers, Perkins - not sure you can win a Wild Card spot with three guys like that waiting to give away the game night after night. High praise to the offense for once again busting it open late! Glad the Twins keep finding ways to win! Would love to see J.O.Berrios go deep tonight, I predict 8 innings of 1-run ball. Hand it to Presley for the 9th, or give Perk a shot if we're up by 5 runs or more. Where's Sano?
  7. bighat
    Agreed - thanks for these write-ups, it's great as I've been unable to watch the games lately. Thanks again for doing this.

    Dude's going to get like 75 RBI this year. Crazy for a utility-guy. Love Escobar, heart and soul of the team.
  9. bighat
    He doesn't respond well to pressure in the batter's box. Notice he was hitting 3rd today with no Mauer, no Kepler, no Sano...zilch. I noticed the other day in Tampa he was trying to bunt his way on again (without success) in a situation where he'd struck out the AB before. Molly: hit Buxton 6th or lower. He'll be fine.

    One word: PHEW.

    The Rays broadcasters are lamenting it also. "That base is stolen, I hate this about instant replay - but it's the game now". That coming from the opponent's booth.

    You can really hear that beer guy echo in the dome. "Beeeer beer beer berrrr brrrrrr". Selling beers in an empty stadium at noon on a Wednesday. Dream job or nightmare?
  13. bighat
    Ahhh, attaboy Dozier. Love those leadoff HRs. Twins needed an early lead, like it.
  14. bighat
    Wasn't watching but had gamecast on in the background while I was booking some flights online. Saw the Twins putting runners on base after the HR in the 9th and was feeling very cheery - happy about my trip up to MSP this weekend and happy about the Twins making a comeback! Then I see it's game over and we blew it. Got mad. Realized I'll be traveling almost all day Sunday and missing all the NFL action. Everything looks bleak, life sucks, etc. Darn Twins. Bartolo with another gem, though. Dude's gonna give the Twins a chance to win every time, it seems. Too bad about the 'pen. Twins need Sano back in there.

    Rosario

    bighat replied to DaveW's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk

    I can't believe I'm playing the voice of reason here, because I usually agree with most knee-jerk takes. Brutal loss. Just a brutal end to a terrible game. While Rosario's GIDP was a terrible gut punch at the end of the game, I'm not sure it was his fault the Twins lost today. This team can't hit TBs pitching for some reason and everyone holding a bat tonight was terrible. How about this Taylor Rogers, did he allow another inherited runner to score? Remember when everyone was talking about him like he was Dennis Eckersly? He's awful and I hope if the Twins ditch anyone over the winter, it's TR.

    Agreed. Starts out with the always cringe-worthy: "I'm not too good at this social media thing"....oh boy, heeeere we go. Then goes on to call everyone who criticizes his column Cinnabon-eating cowards and trolls. Epic meltdown.

    Isn't Castro back now? And wasn't the whole point of signing Giminez to add a "steady presence" behind the plate defensively? The Twins came off a rough September series, they're on the road with a young pitcher in an absolutely huge pressure game, and Molitor opts to put the rookie catcher back there? I don't get the decision. The good news is that the Twins still are hanging on to that wildcard. Bartolo, we'll be watching tonight and we'd like to see a huge game from ya, big man!

    Sano needs to get back ASAP. He'd help that situation in a heartbeat, allowing a guy like Vargas or Escobar or whomever to be available to PH. Alas, Sano won't be back for at least another week. BIG SERIES in Tampa and another BIG SERIES in KC. Gonna be a make-or-break week.
  19. bighat
    Hmmm, okay the Twins have some work to do here. When's Bux coming back? Tomorrow please?
  20. bighat
    I heard that on the last broadcast too! I was thinking "Don't jinx it, don't jinx it"... Huge series here against KC. Hurry up and get back, Miguel Sano!

    Frightening news on CBS Sports re: Buxton: "Buxton (hand) revealed that he's dealing with a left hamate bone injury, and will receive the results from his MRI prior to Minnesota's matinee against the White Sox on Thursday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. If Buxton is indeed shelved with a fractured hamate bone, he could wind up missing the rest of the season, or at least close to it. The center fielder felt a "sharp pain" during a swing in his first at-bat Wednesday, and recorded a "painful hit" during his last plate appearance, according to Mike Berardino of the Pioneer Press. There will be a better sense of a timetable once Buxton receives the official test results, but it doesn't look too good at this point."

    Boy does Pelfrey work slow. Don't miss that (or any other part of his game, really).
  23. bighat
    Attaboy Buck!
  24. bighat
    Dang Buxton, don't lose your confidence at the plate. Trying too hard with those bunt attempts. Slow it down, Buck!

    I just heard of The Athletic this morning, as Rosenthal's article on the Twins appeared on my Google News feed. Liked the look of it.
