  1. Great post. It’s definitely a start to try to figure out how much injuries really are hurting (hurting the team, that is, not the ailing player with the injury). i wonder if Maeda is counted in here? He would be valuable to have, but then, we weren’t really counting on him at all this season. So on first reaction I would call Maeda’s injury as not hurting the team this season. I also wonder if this can be broken down by WAR? Seems like a lot of teams are still dealing with the injury bug. Last year was historic for injuries, if you remember. But this year I know the Dodgers and Mets have been without Kershaw and Buehler, and DeGrom and Scherzer, for stretches. The Twins don’t have equivalents for those guys. thanks!
  2. Whether you think Gordon should have dove for that ball, or should have played it on a hop (would have been tough if you ask me), I think there needs to be someone in the dugout with some situational sense who can see how the game is playing out, how the at bat is playing out, and adjust the outfielders accordingly. Someone like Gladden who would see what’s happening, whistle out to Gordon and wave him a few steps over. imagine if Gordon was playing closer to the line and had made a diving catch to save the game! i bring this up because that play was the talk of pregame today so I imagine Gladden was all over it during the game last night as it was happening.
  3. Y.R.I. (you recall incorrectly —it’s about an hour drive due south
  4. What a voice though— best dugout chatter in the game!
  5. Milwaukee has been on a slide also, since trading Hader. Stuff like that is just a little too fancy for my taste.
  6. It’s a good thing the Angels entire lineup is a black hole except for u know who
  7. Yeah that was quite a, um, send. anyone remember that JJ Hardy send about 10 years ago? Not quite that, but not too far off
  8. Also, the Orioles are beating the Rays and will likely pass them and go into third place in the AL East tonight. The Baltimore Orioles.
  9. The people of lore have indeed weighed in, and oh have they weighed (and I imagined them quite a bit rounder when I read the books)
  10. We at TwinsDaily work around the clock to bring you the hard hitting content and ask the tough questions of the front office that you the reader demands. So it does feel good to punch down at the fans now and again.
  11. Not really a shot at overweight people as it’s more just a shot at fans in general?
  12. Gray did not struggle in the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th. Walks are going to happen, I'm not always bothered by those like some people, and I'm not bothered by giving up some runs to the Dodgers. When I skipped out after the fourth I thought Gray still had a lot of gas in the tank. I'm not buying the premise in the article that Gray ran out of steam and I'm definitely not buying how the Twins managed the starter and bullpen last night.
  13. I thought Gray’s first four innings were fine — he actually did have good his stuff. The big caveat is I was not available to see the fifth inning. Just because Gray gave up a couple hard hits in the fifth doesn’t tell me he needed to be pulled there. I’d be curious to hear from some careful observers about whether they felt Gray really needed to be pulled there. He had only thrown a dozen pitches in the inning and only 80 for the game.
  14. Arraez extends the game with a two out hit (yay Arraez) but that just gives Dodgers fans one more chance to boo Jeter I mean Correa
