    It seems like some of the people who commented a lot in the past aren't around, but it also seems like we are a closer group than we were before. We are getting along very well in spite of having different opinions. Enjoy it while it lasts.

    We don't know yet if the Yankees are a good team this year. They had the second easiest schedule in the league so far, twice as easy as the Twins who also had a very easy schedule. We will have a better picture in another six weeks.

    I knew the Twins would win this game. Why? I saw some pundits/journalists on CBS Sports saying yeah the Twins are good, but the Astros are better, and Verlander is the best, thus predicting the Twins would lose this game for sure.

    By showing winning records by catcher this article is tacitly assuming that catchers are the most valuable players in baseball. Fine, but we can't use win-loss records to prove this. We need a CIBB stat, catching independent batted balls, similar to FIP for pitchers. The catcher can't control what happens once the bat hits the ball. Get on this and let us know if this proves your hypothesis.

    We keep saying De Jong has options. So why do the Twins keep outrighting him and removing him from the roster?

    (The Twins could have started an AAA pitcher in the second game instead of Stewart a couple of days ago, saving the MLB pitcher for the tougher series coming up.)

    Is which Schoop the real Schoop? The .143/.200/.179 hitter in 9 games at Target Field? Or the .372/.426/.791 hitter in 11 games on the road? I'm thinking the real Schoop hasn't showed himself yet. Those splits are bizarre.

    It feels like about ten years since one of these 1-game SP call-ups won a game for the Twins.

    Verlander dislikes the Twins. This means, 1) He wouldn't come here willingly 2) If forced to come here he would lay an egg to get the heck out And yeah, there is no way the Twins pay his contract amount anyway.
  11. Doomtints
    Baseball journalists are implying there is a bit of a bidding war going on right now among some NL teams for Kimbrel's services, and he is merely being patient and waiting for the best offer to emerge. The Twins don't partake in such things as bidding wars.
  12. Doomtints
    Since I said this very thing earlier, yeah. We can stop this convo since you're not reading what I've been saying.

    He wasn't gassed. He was pulled at exactly 100 pitches. That's why he was pulled, no other reason. You know who was gassed? Harper, who was forced to pitch through his ineffectiveness. Who allowed more runs in this game, Odorizzi or Harper?
  14. Doomtints
    You are forgetting option #1: Leave Odorizzi in there a bit longer. He was pulled with 2 outs and 1 person on base and a five run lead. I kind of feel like option #1 is the absolute best way to preserve the bullpen, hands down. Don't you? Yes Harper has been underworked compared to the rest of the bullpen and he needed to eat up an inning at some point. Baldelli chose the wrong moment. Ordorizzi could have finished the inning he was in and started the next.
  15. Doomtints
    The Twins don't have to do things the way every other team does them. In fact, if they want to be cheap (and we know they do), they might want to try a new approach to concessions. "Cheap" after all doesn't mean "make the consumer pay more so we can save."
  16. Doomtints
    I'm sorry but when you are watching a game, predicting exactly what will happen, only to then have to watch it happen, you have *every right* to call it out afterward. I count two, maybe three losses on Baldelli's pitching management. That's hardly "every time" -- yet it is still signficant. Baldelli got away with one here. He won't have the same luxury in September, nor will he have this type of good luck against some AL East teams. These are the types of lapses in judgment that get the Twins bounced out of the playoffs or embarrassed when facing some teams in the regular season.
  17. Doomtints
    Maybe. More likely there is some coming back down to earth that will happen, but the same can be said for all of the teams who had strong starts. I think this will be a repeat of 2017 where the Twins and the Indians are neck and neck for most of the year, but the Indians won't go on an insanely long winnings streak to close out the year. Note this doesn't mean this team is as good as the 2017 Twins were. They are probably better. 2017 was a down year in the AL. We're back to the same question: Can this team win a playoff game? I don't know yet.

    Attendance may be down league-wide, sure. But come on. This team has been terrible for a long time, and Minnesotans have proven they will show up if the team is good and they won't if the team is bad. Saying attendance is down everywhere is a cop-out and it's giving this organization credit it doesn't deserve.
  19. Doomtints
    I know right? Catchers look at pitches all dang day. Why can't they hit?
  20. Doomtints
    The last time Buxton was moved up he imploded. I will say now what I said back then. Keep him at the bottom of the order, let him taste success for a while before moving him up. Yes he is the ideal leadoff guy but he has to be eased into it. 2018 Buxton wasn't a surprise. It's been obvious all along he needs to be eased into things. The Twins shouldn't fight this, they should embrace it. Put him where he can perform and make the change later.
  21. Doomtints
    That's May. Very good sometimes, can't find the strike zone or even the catcher other times.
  22. Doomtints
    With one guy on base, two outs, and a 4 run lead, I'd leave Odorizzi in there -- especially when the bullpen being overused. There would be plenty of time to pull him later and protect the lead if things went south. And then May comes in ... just to get one out? Harper was clearly struggling. A walk, three hits, and a home run. There was no reason to leave him out there for a full inning. This game was only close because of Baldelli.
  23. Doomtints
    Removing Odorizzi to protect the lead and then handing the ball to Harper to cough up three runs is a strange management style.
  24. Doomtints
    A few players have that great directional control and have high career BABIPs. As you say, most don't.
  25. Doomtints
    Remember around ten years ago when the Twins scored something like 32 runs in a double header v. the Sox?
