    I'm not so sure about that Harrison. He played all spring with the shoulder and raked, smacking five homers I think. I chalk it up to the weather. He was fine in Florida after all. Many of these guys have very limited experience with cold weather.

    Sorry, I don't agree. I prefer it done the way they have been doing it with matchups before roles based on the inning. No closer can be used every day anyway so you the need the flexibility to shift roles. They will all give up runs, as Duran has, but you are going to need those four and then some others in important spots.

    Half kidding here. A friend recently mentioned that while on vacation in California his family went to a park on a 60 degree day. His kids were in shorts and flip flops while the native California kids were in puffy coats and winter hats. The MLB has many players from Latin America and the US born players are predominantly from the warm weather states. Since we can't get all our players from Wisconsin, like Noah Miller, we need another solution. Let's get all these guys to winter in Minnesota. Do their own shoveling. Take their kids sledding. Go ice fishing, Nordic skiing, whatever it takes. And no balaclavas damnit! (I could care less about the balaclavas or whatever they wear as long as they produce)

    Jax and Thielbar are in that mix too. You can't just rely on two guys like you mention simply because they can't be available every day. Another factor is the reason Duran got the 9th is not because of a closer role it is because the meat of the Nationals order was due up. The Twins are not going with set roles in the pen based on the inning. Those days are over no matter how many times some clamor for it.

    Lopez is done trying hard for the next 4 years now that he's got his money. Ha ha ha that's gotta be it! I crack myself up ha ha ha....
  7. wabene
    Yeah I think the overhand delivery could limit the velocity. It does allow him to spin it in two directions. Kind of a screwball.
  8. wabene
    Ouch, go Twins.

    Now they gotta follow a blueprint, ok, I'll try to keep up. I thought they were too rigid and had no feel?
  10. wabene
    Ah whack-a-mole, sure I'll give it a try.
  11. wabene
    It's easy now to say they should've used Lopez instead of Jax. Did you watch Lopez pitch for the Twins down the stretch last year? He is now incapable of allowing a run? We have a clear top four in the pen and the manager is going to have to rely heavily on all of them.
  12. wabene
    Agreed ^^ Miranda needs a reset.
  13. wabene
    Ugly loss to be sure, but this thread is depressingly Stribian, lol. Damnit Rocco heh
  14. wabene
    Ok now I'm on the Kyle Farmer bandwagon big-time.
  15. wabene
    Doesn't the average MLB team score something like 4.7 rounds a game? Imagine our record with that output
  16. wabene
    Yep that's why they signed him. 3 years over 800 OPS, 1 year over 900. That's proven production. We'll see, he looks determined and comfortable here. I'm pleasantly surprised so far.
  17. wabene
    They finally don't want to get caught without a long option like yesterday. That's SWR. Ober Sunday. Gotta win these games, that would be the only reason Varland gets it, if they think he's ahead of Ober.
  18. wabene
    Of those three I'm surprised it's Alcala
  19. wabene
    They left Polanco out in the rain and slop in his last Saints game so maybe the weather won't be a factor.
  20. wabene
    Stellar first baseperson, eh dx?
  21. wabene
    Mr Walker just can't stop thinking about the Twins.
  22. wabene
    Look at that. Do you think that is a coincidence? I think not. The defense rests, your honor.
  23. wabene
    There is a lot going on here and it explains a lot 😂
  24. wabene
    Gallo 304/360/870/1230, thanks Joey, lol!

    Those are all the at bats anyone is willing to give him.
