    Scoring just 1 with the bases loaded and 0 outs early on is certainly coming back to bite the Twins today. Need the 'pen to come through and a big hit! Let's do this!
  2. bighat
    Oh man, bases loaded nobody out....I'm gonna turn the channel for a while because I have a bad feeling here.
  3. bighat
    Darn.

    Sano up with the potential to tie it up with a HR in the 8th. AND they're pulling Archer! Happy to see this development.

    I'm watching the Rays broadcast and they're loving every minute of that dive. Apparently he's a goofball and his kooky antics are a big hit. To be honest, I kinda liked that dive too!
  6. bighat
    And he's doing it in the 8th inning!

    Twins wasting leadoff hits in the 7th and 8th with reckless abandon.

    He was liking that Matt Belisle meatball, apparently.

    Way to swing the bat and get it done, Kennys.

    Does Sano need a day off to get right? He's just been striking out at an incredible clip right now.

    The Twins have lots of problems on the pitching staff. Pressley doesn't even make the Top 3 in the "guys to worry about" department.

    Came here to post the same. Lights out against a completely punchless Twins offense.

    I think the Twins are in desperate need of a starter, and of course everyone's eyes are going to bulge when they see Duffey routinely succeeding in the 'pen. But what if that's where he belongs? Duffey's not broken, why fix him? I guess I'm torn here. I wouldn't mind the Twins giving it a shot, but I'm not convinced that a turn in the rotation won't screw up Duffey again, and then we're out a good relief pitcher to boot! Arrrgh!

    Good point. This test will indeed be tricky, with no Santana or Berrios going the Twins are going to have to produce with the bats. The one explosion in Baltimore was against a going-down-in-flames Ubaldo Jimenez. Doing the same thing against the likes of Archer, Odorizzi and Cobb will take more effort. The Twins are going to need to score 4-5 runs in more than one game in this series to win it.
  15. bighat
    Me too. I don't know how they're doing it, I know they've got some issues....right now I'm just surfing the wave!

    I certainly hope the Twins don't re-sign him. I really don't see Hector Santiago being an important part of any successful team's starting rotation. I haven't been very impressed with him. "At least he's not Gibson" is pretty much the best thing I can say about Hector right now. Wish things were different.

    I agree that drafting a High School pitcher with the #1 overall pick is risky. The recent #1 overall pitchers who have had success are David Price and Stephen Strasburg, and both of them came from college programs. That said, last year 6 high school pitchers were taken in the first 17 picks, which is a record high. So maybe the trend is moving towards taking high upside guys and developing the raw talent. I think Greene fits that mold. If Favley and Levine are in charge, I will trust the process if they take him.
  18. bighat
    Including me, I think. Sure I'd be okay with the other prospects, but c'mon. I want Greene with the #1 pick.
  19. bighat
    He was just a beast in that last AB.
  20. bighat
    SCHHWEEEEEEP!

    Nice inning JoLaMakina!
  23. bighat
    Could have locked up the game there with a couple hits from those guys. They failed miserably. On the plus side, the way Tillman's pitching they might have another chance with the top of the lineup.
  24. bighat
    Should have scored way more there. Shame on Gimenez and Buxton. Good on the rest of 'em! Polanco's really heating up!

    I think the same people who are angered by Mauer's $23 million salary are the same people who are hate ticket prices at Target Field and claim "I built Target Field with MY TAX DOLLARS". As if somehow they were personally hoodwinked in these matters, and now they are worse off because of it. Always struck me as a weird thing to be angry about. Mauer's salary hasn't ever bothered me - poor play bothers me. He's been better this month and I'm happy about it. He's always been reliable in his career when healthy, and I think batting him between 2-5 in the lineup makes sense at this time. He's certainly going to go down in history as one of the Twins' all time greats, no argument.
