    Pirates are pretty bad! And now the Twins smell blood.

    Silver lining is certainly Alcala - might be the lead item on the hometown blogs unfortunately. Soft-tossing lefties really give this team trouble. It's crazy, seems like it's been that way for the past two seasons.

    Twins gonna learn pretty quick that you can't face major league teams with minor league pitchers and expect to win, no matter how good your offense is. What has Lewis Thorpe ever done to make anyone believe he's nothing more than a mop-up guy at best?
  4. bighat
    Very good impression.

    This is weird: when was the last time the Twins were behind? Guess that must have been Bieber's start against us on Thursday?
  6. bighat
    Not a great start there, Thorpe.

    Non-Twins news: looks like Atlanta's Mike Soroka just suffered a nasty achilles injury and if that's the case, season is over and possibly more for him. A shame, the kid was one of the bright young stars of the game.

    They were 3rd last week too!

    Honestly there really doesn't seem to be a plan - now I could be wrong, but it's just the vibe I'm getting. I'm getting the feeling that MLB is just thinking "Hmmm, this is not good. Welp, let's see what happens".

    Twins on pace to go 48-12 here. Look on the bright side: if the season is cancelled the Twins won't have to face the Yankees, and we can grow old spinning yarns about how the 2020 World Series championship was stolen by a virus. OR maybe if we get through all 60 games, MLB will take notes from the EPL and just give the title to the regular season champ!

    Gotta tell ya what, boys: Looks like the only thing this team has to worry about is the Coronavirus, 'cause there isn't another team in this whole Central League/Division that's going to give the Twins too much trouble this season. Playoffs is another story. But yep, they are who we thought they were.

    Maeda is the real deal.

    Is there a better closer in baseball than Taylor Rogers right now?
  14. bighat
    Awful strike 3 call there on Arraez!
  15. bighat
    Gaver's just lost right now.

    Hit the bullseye - the MLB came up with all of these safety nets so that they could play through a clubhouse spread of this virus. And now, instead of using the fire escape they built, they're panicking and making things worse. Know what shoulda happened? Every team should have had an entire 30-man "B Squad" that practiced and played simulated games in a bubble. Positive test on the "A Squad"? They're all subbed out, and - in the case of the Cardinals, for example - the B Squad flies to Milwaukee and plays the Brewers. You could have a lot of good AAA guys who could stay sharp that way. And the season could roll on. Yeah, I'm sure there would be some issues with service time and all the money and 40-man roster stuff would have to have been hashed out. But honestly this would have been the best idea.

    So the risk of bringing Donaldson on board was due to calf injury problems, and he exited last night because of a calf injury. Yeesh. The Twins have a deep lineup and they also have a history of really shutting guys down at the slightest hint of injury (see: Buxton, Byron). I'd imagine we won't see Josh in the lineup for at least a week if not more. Great job Dobnak, what a luxury having this guy as the 6th starter who can fill in for anyone. The Twins may lose a couple pitchers to free agency and he's looking like he could be a real part of the rotation in the future. Avila outplaying Garver so far and it's not even close.

    Nice job Romo. Gotta think Rogers is on deck.
  19. bighat
    Just think how Indians fans feel, I'd rather be on this side.

    Was remarking on this the other day. It's unbearable. At least when the opponents are up to bat you get a break, but when the Twins are batting it's relentless. Who's in the PA booth? Some 39 year-old guy in a Hawaiian shirt and cargo shorts trying to play music he thinks is cool with the teenz?
  21. bighat
    Adrianza will likely surpass Donaldson soon as the Bringer of Rain is injured 1 week into his new contract. Here's hoping it's nothing major....
  22. bighat
    In his defense he's spent all summer fishing up in Brainerd and the last month holed up in the broadcast booth at Target Field - might as well have been in a bunker!

    How about Arraez shouldn't have been anywhere near that thing. Sure Polanco should have called him off, but the bonehead play was by Arraez there, not Jorge.
  24. bighat
    Bad play by Arraez there.
  25. bighat
    Wow, that terrible challenge on the Cruz AB just cost the Twins.
