    What part? Even by your logic the Twins still lose 6-4. It makes no sense to blame Baldelli for the loss because of 3 runs that weren't the decisive runs.

    A Baldelli loss? You make no sense.

    Well this game may not end the way we want, but for me I just want to know that Bundy won't be allowed to achieve his own personal 3 game losing streak. The leash must be shorter than last year. 20/20 says he shouldn't have come back in after the mini rally. I agree. Let's just stop the bleeding, this season is so promising and there are other options. 88mph fastballs are not my cuppa.

    I agree that I don't think Ryan was impressive last night. The kid did keep the squad in the game, but I'm hoping for more from him. Compared to a Berrios melt down, Joe does seem to hold it together and I think that bodes well for his future.

    "Oh yeah I forgot about that part, my bad. I would've been ok with him finishing that inning and wasn't sure why they took him out. " As the haze of my memory of last night's game clears didn't they bring in Thielbar to face a lefty who he promptly retired? Just a pitch or two? Seems to have worked out.

    Oh yeah I forgot about that part, my bad. I would've been ok with him finishing that inning and wasn't sure why they took him out. I just don't understand the fascination with how many innings a starter throws, and to add something else to my point, the fascination with saves. Neither matters to me at all. I want wins, to maximize the use of my relievers and healthy pitchers when the playoffs start. 5 innings gets the starter the win stat? I don't care it is the W for the team that is all that matters.

    Tough guy, eh?. I'm ok with the way they are handling him. He had a short spring training, never pitched more than 123 innings in a year and that was 3 years ago and last year he had a low innings count because he was at the minors with TB, then the Olympics, then the Twins, total 92 innings. Last night I wouldn't say his command was off, but the ump was off and Joe didn't get a couple of calls he should have. To top it off he gets stung with broken bats and squibs. No reason imo to send him back out for possibly 100 pitches when he isn't streched for that yet and you are grinding on a guy with high confidence just to get one more inning today. Short sighted and pointless to prove what?

    Miranda at first, lefty on the mound? Me likey

    Do you really think the Twins will sign a 10 year $300+m deal? Do you think Correa and Boras are open to a discount? I don't see it at all and I don't want the Twins to sign that kind of deal for anybody. Royce for starting SS next year! My 2¢.
  13. wabene
    It will depend on how his body responds. To be a starter you have to really want it. Duran said this spring that he loved relieving and how much better he felt with that kind of workload. Time will tell. Starters can make much more $.

    If we agree that Correa will be gone after this year, I would keep Royce at SS in the minors until the end of the year then bring him up for a playoff push. He needs the development there and it looks to me he absolutely could be our opening day starting SS next year. With this good start his floor at short is Polanco. If Correa goes on the IL bring Royce up then.

    Maeda is signed to his unique and team friendly deal for one more year. With the uncertainty surrounding his repaired elbow, he'll be fighting for a rotation spot on what essentially will be a prove it year for him. I'm sure he opted for the surgery hoping to continue his career and land another deal. The Twins likely will let this play out and I'm guessing not be inclined to offer him a multi year deal.

    Yes nice glove and we should give him a break on the .627 ops, we have faced many leftys recently.
  22. wabene
    FYI at 225. At 160 we will wrap it then go for 200.
  23. wabene
    Not sure yet it's the maiden voyage. Up to 140 after almost 4 hours.

    It probably looks like I'm not doing anything, but that's just not true. I'm smoking a brisket thank you very much.
