    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.

    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.
  7. bighat
    Morrison isn't even trying anymore.
  8. bighat
    Buxton. Migrane. Seriously?

    Por fin, los Twins estan jugando beisbol hoy! Gracias a dios!

    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.
  11. bighat
    None of them were catchers for the majority of their careers, though. I think that's Joe's ace in the hole.
  12. 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.

    Tonight's game cancelled, ya think?

    Buxton has really been cutting down on the K's. He's struck out just twice in his last 18 at-bats. Sano on the other hand....P.U. He is hammering the ball when he makes contact, though. And at this point Logan Morrison has been so terrible that moving Sano in the batting order isn't realistic.
  15. bighat
    The ball was in the air for a year, and hit the top of the wall - the outfielder played a little deke move, but Joe shoulda scored. He had time and it was a deep shot.
  16. bighat
    LoMo must go.
  17. bighat
    Let's play: "Will it Haunt"? Baserunning gaffes by Mauer, Sano cost the Twins a run in the first.
  18. bighat
    C'mon Mauer, hustle home on that 2-bagger.
  19. bighat
    Just posting my gut feelings on Morrison. Don't hate me, I'm making a bold call here: We all knew he wasn't as good as his numbers last year suggested.That said, I think he's not as good as we hoped and last year was really a flash-in-the-pan season.Kendrys Morales comes to mind. A guy who for whatever reason just isn't a "good fit" for this Twins team, and who would likely succeed elsewhere if the Twins traded/released him.I think the Twins will eventually release him.

    I was thinking the same thing last night...where's the bunt? But he's been in a strange place in the batting order and has come up with men on base a lot, and he seems to come to the plate with 2 outs a lot of times as well. But I do think he should start trying more often. Is his bunting ability below-average? I don't remember him being a particularly skilled bunter, alas.
  21. bighat
    The final score should have been 9-1, not 4-1. That said, we'll take the 'W'. Let's win the series!
  22. bighat
    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.
  23. 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.
  24. bighat
    Will Molitor wait until the Twins are 4-12 to take Morrison and Castro out of the every day lineup?
  25. bighat
    Just awful. He needs to grab some bench. Give LaMarre or Grossman a shot, this is unbearable.
