  1. WHY ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH IS MORRISON SQUARING TO BUNT? MAKE IT STOP, MAKE IT STOP!!!
  2. Atta boy, Hildy. Exactly what we needed there. Time to tie this thing up, then go from there.
  3. Lucky grab after the LF took a brutal route to the ball. Twins right back in this one with 9 outs to go. Big like.
  4. Third baseman looked like a Moran letting that foul pop fall. Gotta take advantage of the extra out.
  5. Esco is said to be one of the most joyous Twins to be around at the ballpark. And, as Brock noted, the Escobar Name Game videos are hi-larious. And, oh by the way, the guy can play a little bit. How can ya not love the guy?
  6. Saying Mauer is a great baserunner wasn't really meant as a joke.
  7. Mauer is far from speedy, but he is an excellent baserunner.
  8. Dozier hitting leadoff has rankled me for quite some time.
  9. Hitting a baseball is slightly more difficult than a coach telling a batter, "Hey, big fella- go up there & hit the ball. Try not to whiff, okay?"
  10. I fully expect the Twins to get back into this game and, at minimum, put a scare into the Buccos today.
  11. In light of Lynn's total lack of control, and how this inning spiraled out of control by his lack of control, I will step down from the soapbox of umpiring being a major part of MLB's 'pace of play' issue. But not for long...
  12. I can acknowledge that Lynn has been all over the place thus far, but if that dope behind the plate doesn't start calling strikes, this is gonna be a long game.
  13. Agreed. But I don't put pitchers' fitness on the same level as position players. Arms & elbows have minds of their own.
  14. Obviously, this absurd pitching is not sustainable. But it does set a great tone for the season for a team that hasn't exactly been stellar in the pitching department. Also worth noting that the Twins have not yet made an error three games into the season. Another great tone-setter...
  15. Regarding bullpen use: teams go into each game with a blueprint for how they are going to manage their relievers that day. Among other things, the plan is dictated by recent usage / availability of the relievers, the opponent's lineup, the opponent's bench options, and recent usage thereof. Now, there are things that can affect the plan like injuries, extra-innings, etc. This allows the relievers to be prepared to the extent possible that they may be pitching each day. Many of the bullpen decisions managers make in-game are actually pre-determined, or at least thought-out, well before each situation arises within the course of a game. There are definitely some, but probably not quite as many ‘spur-of-the-moment’ decisions made in-game as we may sometimes think.
  16. Twins got great pitching yesterday. Give up 5 hits over 11 innings, and you're gonna win a lot more of those than you'll lose. I am far from worried about the Twins scoring runs this season, and it will be quite a while before I even give that a second thought.
  17. Mauer squared to bunt in the 10th, Cheech Rosario just squared up in the 11th. Stop the insanity.
