    I think most people here were VERY excited about the Maeda trade - the part that got criticized was that it was initially a 3-team deal and the BoSox dropped out and caused all sorts of havoc. But if I recall, most TD subscribers were very happy to get Maeda. As for Bum-G, it was good we didn't sign him. Instead we signed Donaldson who has been a complete flop. You win some, you lose some.

    He could be scary good - alas, by reaching his potential at an older age, the Twins may not be able to extend/sign Bux for the future and another team will reap the benefits. I've always worried that Bux would reach his true potential with another team. That said let's enjoy the heck out of it. Even when healthy, his bat was still a question mark. It appears that's no longer the case. If Bux is healthy, he's a good bat to have in the lineup. Particularly love that he struck out 3 times on Monday, but came back to go 3-for-4 the very next day on three singles. That quick rebound was unheard of before.

    Get one out here Lewis. Give Maeda the QS.

    Ump appears to have early dinner reservations. Can't really blame him in a 12-0 game but it can't be fun being Polanco and having strikes called on you that are 2 feet wide of the plate.

    Bux. Is. On. Fire. Really great start to the year for BUX!

    Nice at bats from Sano so far, each of 'em. Encouraging to see his eye improve today.

    Dick: "I have no idea what that was" Me neither.
  8. bighat
    Well this is fun.

    This is like what, the Twins' 3rd bullpen game of the year? Hill and Bailey, were encouraging in their only outings but c'mon, WTF already. I'm not panicking, with half the teams making the playoffs and every team getting a 3-game series right out of the gate in the playoffs, the Twins have as good of a chance as anyone of getting hot at the right time. But this team is far from dominant. Lots of holes.

    Garver is just awful right now. I'm not even mad, I just feel bad for him. This is turning into a Chris Davis scenario.

    "Bat him 8th!"

    Eddie is our best hitter! He's on fire and I'm loving it. Eddie! Eddie!

    Clippard doing what Twins "starters" do - give runs back immediately.

    Mitch has become a liability.

    This is a good point. I am okay with a change. To me, I like the overall theme of the logo (two baseball players shaking hands over the river) and I hope that stays. No biggie if they want to make the race of the players Latino, Black, Brown or Green. All good.

    If Donaldson doesn't rebound, Adrianza is going to be our 3rd baseman with Marwin still filling his role of playing everywhere (including spelling Sano who is striking out at his old-fashioned alarming rate). This new guy can spell Adrianza and Arraez once per week. The other 4-5 teams who were in on the Donaldson bidding war are feeling VERY relieved they backed out. It's still early in his contract but so far, a big dud.
  17. bighat
    Vintage Gibson! It probably took him 2 hours to get to that point, also, nibbling away.

    Another one-inning-wonder for the Twins. They seem to score maybe 1 or 2 innings per game max, and they never tack on runs late in a ballgame. That said, a much-needed win. Eddie has had a GREAT year so far, and so has Randy Dobnak. Nice to see Rogers come back after the blown save with a nice inning as well. Let's take 2 of 3 in MIL.
  19. bighat
    Anyone else feel good about having Dobnak on the mound tonight? Dobnak or Maeda seem to be the guys right now who are getting it done. Yelich is getting hot finally this year - bad timing for the Twins. Sano and Garver grabbing pine. It's the "A" team tonight. Expect to see at least 2 of May, Romo, Duffey or Rogers.
  20. bighat
    Agreed. Clearly just a brain fart by the A's coach. He should have apologized and did. Read the comments from the players and coaches who know this guy. Anyone who has hailed a cab has maybe unintentionally, once in their lives, accidentally realized that they were making this pose and then quickly altered their body language and hoped nobody saw them. I think this was one of those things.

    Two words: La Tortuga.

    Bingo. So why not wait until 2021? The Cardinals have played 5 games so far. FIVE. There are several other teams that have been affected by this virus. Let's say you trade Royce Lewis for Dylan Bundy (okay, that would never happen but let's just say that it does). A week later, the entire team comes down with Covid-19 and are placed in quarantine.....and oh yeah, it's the PLAYOFFS. So what happens? Is the league going to wait for 3 weeks to start the playoffs because the Twins are sick? No. They'll be DQ'ed. 2020 should be treated as a year where you play the hand you were dealt. Do NOT give up anything of value to help you this year only. Absolute waste.
  23. bighat
    Maybe. But if we're going to start picking on offensive guys, I think we have a ways to go before we start ripping Polanco.
  24. bighat
    I noticed this too - been doing it every AB today. I think that day off maybe threw him off or something. Very odd the way he's swinging today.
  25. bighat
    Corey Gearrin, eh? Rocco not playing any relief pitcher of substance this whole series.
