    Same - the bad at-bats are just awful. During the Twins' big inning, Cave came up with a runner on 2nd and nobody out. He should have done what was needed to get the guy to 3rd. Move the runner over, hit a grounder to the right side....instead he struck out on 4 pitches. It's just bad baseball. And lots of bad defense last night too. Aside from Maeda, none of the new additions have done jack squat. And where would we be without Maeda BTW?

    Bremer called it a triple play, then spent 5 minutes saying there should be at least 2 outs.... Then during the replay, he completely changed his tune and acted like the Twins were nuts for challenging the call.

    Pathetic effort by Hill. The guy's looked absolutely washed up aside from one nice 5 inning outing in his first start. Looks he is who we feared he was.
  4. bighat
    Cave gotta move that guy over there to 3rd base with nobody outs. Poor AB, now batting .190-ish.
  5. bighat
    WE WILL TAKE IT.

    How about a patented 4 or 5 run Twins inning early in the game?

    Attaboy Luis (and forgot to give props to Sano)!

    Why did Rosie slide there? Could he have scored....certainly?

    Agreed. Zero sense of urgency. A few reasons for this IMO: first, all the guys on the DL right now. Starting with Josh Donaldson - Twins brought him in to fill a power-hitting role in the infield (ie: hit as many HR as Schoop and Cron combined) and he's done zippo, zero, zilch, nada. Buxton...well we knew that would happen. Secondly, all of these bullpen games and throwaway games organized by Rocco. Seems like he's content to flip a coin every other game rather than going for the jugular. Rocco is always playing the long game. In a short season, he might just be making a mistake. The time to rest guys and take your foot off the gas is when things are locked up - not now. Very frustrating. Side note: feel bad for Nelson Cruz. Dude is just doing everything he can to carry this team and his numbers are unreal. When does he start getting frustrated?

    Is someone vacuuming or leaf blowing in the stadium somewhere? Sounds like a construction site or something.

    If you like the benefits that baseball players get, maybe you should have pulled up your bootstraps and become a baseball player. In seriousness, I've never understood the hate for professional athletes and their salaries. Sure, if a guy gets paid and stinks, I get the booing. But they've got unique talents - like actors, writers, etc - and they get paid the going rate. Comparing a baseball player's job, or that of a world class symphony conductor to mine is apples and oranges.

    Twins already made their trade this year - Ildemaro Vargas for cash. We're not going to see any more deals and I'm happy about it. In a season that could still collapse at any moment, I see zero reason to part with a prospect in 2020. I think the Twins feel the same.

    I've always felt the same. A 40 year-old guy throwing the same 78 MPH pitch 90% of the time just seems like a recipe for disaster....like you, I've been surprised with the good results. But when I see him get hit hard, I'm not surprised either! Twins lucky they got away with 1 win here. The offense seems to have 1 guy carry them for stretches: Kepler, Cruz, Sano, Gonzalez....but it's rare that everyone's "on" at the same time. Bust Josh Donaldson shouldn't be able to hide from blame. Injuries aren't anyone's fault, but it sure is frustrating to get only 5 games from our $100 million man. And he played quite poorly in those games also.

    Shane Beiber is now 6-0 with a 1.35 ERA and has 75 Ks in 46 innings. He's the best pitcher in baseball right now and should easily win the Cy Young award in the AL. Sucks the Twins lost, but what'ya gonna do?
  15. bighat
    It's okay, we have Mr. Maeda going in the first game, he'll give us at least six!
  16. bighat
    Agreed.

    Since August 10, Sano's hitting .353.... Eddie Rosario and Max Kepler are having nearly identical offensive seasons (Both hitting around .230 with 6-7 HRs, 10-15 walks, 16-18 K's, and even their OPS is nearly the same). Dobnak is 5-1 and leads the team in wins. Kenta Maeda could be 5-0, but Rogers has blown 2 games where Maeda was in line for the win. Lost in this short season is the pennant race. With MLB handing out playoff spots to half the league, the Twins are all but guaranteed a playoff spot and many of us have stopped paying attention to the standings. Go ahead, peek at the AL Central standings, they might surprise you....and maybe scare you a bit. Twins are currently ranked #9 out of 15 in team batting in the American League.

    Some feel that he's been purposefully trying to hit Avila's mitt with his bat today while swinging, he's reached twice on catcher's interference so far.
  19. bighat
    Sano with a sharp SINGLE! Woah!
  20. bighat
    Attaboy Gonzo.
  21. bighat
    I feel like I've heard that Adrianza can be an emergency catcher but don't quote me on that.
  22. bighat
    If Gonzalez doesn't get it done here, you have to PH Cruz for Cave, right? Do the Twins have another OF who can step in for Cave?
  23. bighat
    Very nice sac bunt Polanco.
  24. bighat
    Avila having a very odd inning to say the least.
  25. bighat
    Big spot for the Duff Man here. Let's go Tyler.
