    Holland AGAIN? Royals are taking no prisoners in this series.
  2. bighat
    Phew, nice Jose.
  3. bighat
    Anyone else think maybe now would be the time to bring in Rogers? Put out the fire and keep us in the game?

    Berrios just....laboring here. KC looking like NYY against the Twins this week. Brutal.
  5. bighat
    Sano's gonna get some good wood on the ball this AB.
  6. bighat
    Ok Berrios, let's see what you got here against the top of the lineup. Let's shut em down buddy.
  7. bighat
    Productive out Polanco, attaboy.
  8. bighat
    Attaboy Max. Let's keep the line moving! Polanco's due....

    Buxton is such a sparkplug right now. Say what you will, he always hustles.
  10. bighat
    Ooof. Royals are just kicking the Twins' butts this series. No luck or quirky stuff involved. This is just what you call getting schooled.
  11. bighat
    "Cruz Liner". Heh.
  12. bighat
    What a catch by Gordon on that Cruz liner.

    THE BRIGHT SIDE: It stings losing three in a row, but as others have said, 10-5 is still where the Twins are sitting right now. If you look at this from another perspective, here's a quote about the Twins from the STL newspaper website, as they're discussing the Cardinals 5 total games played this season: "Their only other games were two losses to the AL Central leading Twins, a powerhouse team that is once again running away with its division." That was written last night, after the Twins 3rd straight loss. Yes, Minnesota is still considered a "powerhouse" by most people on the outside looking in. I didn't expect much out of Jake last night. Happy to have the guy back, hopefully this was just shaking off rust. Two words: Byron Buxton. THE BAD SIDE: Rocco's carefree managing style is bugging me. Resting the "A" team (Cruz and Arraez Friday, Polanco Saturday) and rolling out Poppen, Wisler, Thorpe, Smeltzer, and Theilbar this series. Earth to Rocco. These games count, Rocco! You don't get more points for beating Cleveland. Garver's just looking awful in every way right now. We all want him to succeed but it might be time to start curbing our expectations a bit. League appears to have figured him out OR he's just lost whatever mojo he had last year. Looks to be a shell of his former self in every aspect. Possible one-season wonder. Time to give Avila the reins and bring in Astudillo to take some more of Garv's at bats away.

    Agreed. It's been Wisler, Thielbar, Poppen, Thorpe, Smeltzer....where's the beef? I mean, we'll be 10-5 if we lose this game so I guess it's not the end of the world. But it drives me nuts that Rocco seems to always take his foot off the gas when this team is on a roll. The Lewis Thorpe's of the world can be used when the score is 12-4. Not in a 2-run game on the road when you're trying to snap a losing skid.
  15. bighat
    And do you even buy now? Knowing that - possibly - the season could collapse at any moment? I wouldn't part with any special prospects for a chance in 2020. Just my opinion.
  16. bighat
    Let's go Mitch, run into one here.

    Unforgivable at-bat by Adrianza. Unfortunately, all it takes is one batter to not be on board with working the count and you get an inning ending double-play on the first pitch. This is what happens when guys struggle, they get antsy and start swinging at the first pitch they think they can hit.
  18. bighat
    Do it again Bux.
  19. bighat
    This version of Sano is extremely hard to watch.
  20. bighat
    Good opportunity right now for Alcala to leapfrog a couple of the guys who are typically in front of him in the 'pen.
  21. bighat
    Gaver's average down to .100
  22. bighat
    This is actually a good question about seeding - I mean, with everyone and their grandmother making the playoffs this year, and a best-of-3 coming up right off the bat for most teams, and with NO FANS in any of the stadiums....I don't see home field being a huge advantage right now. You just don't want to face Gerritt Cole or Shane Bieber right out of the gate, so as long as you don't play the Yanks or Indians in the 1st round you're OK.
  23. bighat
    Wisler warming up to put out the fire.... Hey Rocco - next time the Twins need to hold a lead, how about using May, Duffey, Romo, or Rogers? Stop waving the white flag so damn often, Rocco.
  24. bighat
    WOW. Unreal.
  25. bighat
    The offense explodes, gives the team a 2-run lead by scoring 4 runs with two outs....scratching and clawing every at bat, getting big hits etc... And the pitchers come back and do THIS? Unforgivable.
