  1. Inexcusable to pull the SPs after 5 innings with 75-90 pitches thrown (with a run or less given up.) Just-BAT-S-CRAZY! The second and third order effects with bullpen use and outcomes were entirely predictable. Happy with manager and FO overall, but they need to seriously reevaluate the difference between regular season and post season strategy.
  2. Actually we would have been lucky if were only 4 head scratchers....unfortunately there were more than that
  3. Maeda, Duffy/Wiesler/Romo/Clippard; By committee Yes, yes they can
  4. Well, well, well....what do we have here?!
  5. Chicago's play this year has placed the Twins on alert that their window may not have opened for as many years as initially anticipated. That being said, they are not there yet and I very much like our chances That 'that being said' being said, I'm not sure seeding matter this year unfortunately
  6. I disagree that it is "all important" Ticket has been punched for the playoffs barring something really crazy. With three game series starting off, no fans and possibly in a bubble, I'm really not sure seeding matters much at all.
  7. Seeing someone's lifetime dream achieved never gets old!
  8. THE SKY IS FALLING. IT IS TIME TO PANI.....wait what?! (checking ear piece)....it appears everything is ok....please go about your business...
  9. Lance Lynn is the antithesis of a team player....NO THANKS!
  10. Line up as currently constructed is of grave concern. Nobody's fault really. Missing Garver, Donaldson, Buck is rough....really rough
  11. One start does not a trend make....but I live in fear that MLB scouting will catch up to The Dobnak (even if it does... I'll always be thankful for his great story)
  12. Duran Duran...... I implore the FO to listen to the music and become inspired to test out a 5th starter with potential season changing upside. Service time shmervice time (not a band... yet...TM pending)
  13. A fifth starter....please let me refer the FO to the many options across the street. I prefer Duran, but will obviously defer to their expertise.... as long as the rational for bullpen games is not to save service time.....
  14. O-Doh!-rizzi.... FO nailed it with the one year deal. Had to give him another year after last year but too many alarm bells with previous years and the third time through the line up. No regrets.... and thank God we are not on the hook for a long term contract.
  15. And Cruz! Never take an over 40 year old PROFESSIONAL hitter for granted!
  16. This was an extremely well thought out and well written piece. Keep up the good work!
  17. I'm very much OK with the slotted 5th starter consistently beating inferior competition. Last time I checked that is the definition of a superior 5th starter. I would focus the concern on our slotted #1 and #2 starters.
  18. Yes, This! It was raining hits and walks in the first 3 innings....the runs were going to come eventually.... And we have 18-ish pitchers on our staff currently. Good Lord....sometimes a pitcher doesn't have it...that is when the manager has to find someone else!
  19. The biggest problem with this team exposed: Short playoff series will favor teams with an ACE (or two) on their staff. We have a deep, balanced, and overall good team.... BUT unfortunately it will be at HIGH RISK during short playoff series against overall inferior teams with one or two better starting pitchers. The FO has done an admirable job overall and obviously did not construct the team with this weird season in mind, but I strongly recommend that all Twins fans keep their expectations in check!
  20. Thanks Parker...Well thought out and well presented as always. Love the side by side comparisons. I think everyone is essentially saying the same thing on this one. Velo makes a huge difference, but only if you maintain commanand
  21. Our society is behaving like petulant teenagers with entirely predictable outcomes.
  22. I stated about a month ago on this site that we were in the "bargaining" phase of our grieving process and nothing that has happened since in the whole country... to include baseball... has dissuaded me from this opinion.
  23. I suspect that it is because, if we are being honest, there are some big question marks....essentially a wide confidence interval.....which is fair. Odo, Hill, Maeda, Bailey, Dobnak, Pineda....would not be surprised by the wheels falling off any of them... or having a great season
