  1. Good talk - must have told him to throw a DP ball. Now let's see if we can score a run.
  2. Right side of the infield was wide open for a bunt for Gordon - could have even bunted for a hit.
  3. This shows Pagan is the same in the 5th inning as he is in the 9th
  4. Seems like the Sox catchers are batting about 1.000 against us this series
  5. Urshela needs to get to the bag not just stand there like a statue - he did the same thing yesterday but nobody corrects their mistakes they make the same ones game after game
  6. Don't know if we are going to lose this game but we deserve to lose it. 9 walks and 2 HP - 7 walks to the bottom 3 hitters in the lineup!
  7. Had them down to add to their losing streak and couldn't complete the deal. How many one-run games are we going to lose to Cleveland by blowing a lead?
  8. Assuming the $750K offer hinged on him starting now - the offer would not be available at the end of our season which is the reason Wes is leaving in the middle of the season. Stinks as a fan of the Twins but not sure how many of us would turn down that substantial a raise for doing a relatively similar job.
  9. You know you are in trouble hitting-wise when we are rotating DH'ing our catchers who combined are hitting below .200 and are slow as molasses on the basepaths. Sanchez I can maybe see as a DH but Jeffers should never be the DH. Garlick in the 4 hole is another gem. FO did not bring in enough depth this offseason. I have mentioned this before so don't want to beat a dead horse but we also move players all over the lineup card each game which I think hurts any consistent production. Looking at the opposing teams lineups we have played this season - they like to stick to a pretty consistent order. So there is plenty of blame to go around - players, managers and FO .
  10. Well, something to look forward to - another bullpen arm potential bust. Let me ask a question - Is there a bullpen arm we have that is not a potential bust? Hopefully he channels some suggested changes and pieces together a nice season for the Twins this year and he can move on and be a bust for the White Sox next season.
  11. That was a game we should have won - certainly if expect to be a .500 team and possible playoff contender. Their starting pitcher was not good but their bullpen had no trouble shutting us down. Wondering if the fact that our lineup and bullpen usage is so scattered has an impact on this team of humans. Maybe a computer model suggests all these different lineups and bullpen usage should work best but humans like some more certainty to perform better. One more thing I will say is that we had a full offseason to improve our backup OF positions and bullpen but it looks no different than last year. 2 injured players who were also injured last year by the way and we are left without adequate replacements. For me - no more Garlick - I would have preferred to keep Gordon in the game - at least he has speed. I don't get our affinity with slow plodding outfielders.
