    He will be fine, this poor stretch does not dim the bright future for Larnach. He can play out the string in St. Paul or work his way back up to the Twins in 2021. Either is an acceptable path. Rookies need these ABs to learn and they are going to hit rough patches.

    Gordon is a first round pick and the Twins are running out of time with him. It's more than fair to paying customers at Target Field for the Twins to give Gordon an extended look in August and September of a lost season. Gordon's athleticism and speed could be a nice complement in the Twins lineup.
  3. theBOMisthebomb
    Why isn't Nick Gordon playing everyday with the Twins? As much as I love and admire Tortuga, Gordon needs to replace him and then play regularly with the Twins. Let's get a free six week look at what we have.

    I'm prepared to die on the hill still believing the 2021 Twins are/were a talented ball club (even after the trade deadline there is still some hope for the immediate future).

    In Rocco's defense, he did pinch hit the red hot and Twins best overall hitter Polanco for Tortuga. The television guys (I think Smalley) thought it was an acceptable move. I personally would not have done it. If a guy is feeling it like Tortuga was last night, let him hit. Polo did get an infield hit.

    It's beyond tiring watching the Sox hand the Twins their rear ends in a platter this season. Maybe the Twins can save some face and win one of these next two (preferably Wednesday since I'll be at the game). The pitching matchups are lopsided Tuesday and Wednesday both and not in the Twins favor. Oh, how the mighty have fallen from 2019 and 2020. If last night wasn't a slap in the face of Twins fans showing what a trainwreck this season is, then nothing will be.

    I couldn't take the posts and all the hand-wringing from the 'against the unwritten rules' folks. Best to just let things ride in a season like 2021 and not stir up any unnecessary HBP back and forth with the Reds. I don't remember any bad blood with the Reds and don't think any of the injuries you mentioned were intentional. The Twins had a good moment with the Reds at Target Field earlier this year honoring Mike Bell.

    Yes, great clutch AB from Polanco. Then, of course, I knew the whole time that the Twins closer Colome would slam the door in the 9th and get the save. There's still a lot of entertainment in a lost baseball season like the 2021 version of the Twins.

    It's so dang depressing to hear talk of the next competitive window opening in another 2-3 years. It feels as if the Bomba Squad window just opened. Of course, no playoff victories to show for any of it.

    I'll be glad when the trade deadline passes. I am not intrigued or interested by the deadline rumors and speculation - it rather annoys me. The thought of losing Berrios makes my blood boil and the possibility of trading "my guys" that I follow only makes me mad. I am certain I'd be a terrible GM.
  11. theBOMisthebomb
    The best possible outcome has no mention of the Twins winning anything?
  12. theBOMisthebomb
    It stinks to see your club lose your favorite players. There could be more gut punches to come before the trade deadline. One of the worst feelings as a fan is to see your club as a seller at the trade deadline. I know this was the right move and might pay dividends in the future. It's really devastating to see the dreams and promise of a championship that the 2019 (and 2020) Bomba Squad brought to Twins fans slowly crumble away.
  13. theBOMisthebomb
    The defense by the Angels right fielder, Adam Eaton, really foiled the Twins in the 8th inning.
  14. theBOMisthebomb
    It's two competitors being competitive. It could be a big deal, probably not though. You'd have to be on the inside to really know. I don't want this incident to negatively impact Arraez. Maybe it's time to cut bait with Donaldson and move him before the trade deadline? JD's time with the Twins has not lived up to expectations.
  15. theBOMisthebomb
    Outside food is once again allowed at Target Field (no sunflower seeds though). You can also bring up to a 32 ounce factory sealed water bottle so you should be able to feed yourself at the stadium for the same cost as at home.
  16. theBOMisthebomb
    Old man yells at cloud! Get those dang kids off my lawn!! Anyway, I agree with Nick that this has been an oddly magical first half of the season. It's just been so great to get back into the normal summer routine of a Twins game nearly every day.

    Dan Serafini resurfaced years later as a bar owner on Jon Taffer's Bar Rescue reality show. Serafini wasn't a better bar owner than he was as a first round draft pick.

    I was watching MLB Network not too long ago. Ron Darling and John Smoltz both were saying it takes about 100 starts for a big league pitcher to really gain his footing. At the time, it made me think of Berrios and today I was thinking it applies to Ober. Ober might be something after a bit more experience.
  19. theBOMisthebomb
    Robert Edward Grossman was a Gold Glove finalist in 2019. Apparently, his metrics were glowing that season.
  20. theBOMisthebomb
    I don't understand trading Berrios and I don't understand why Alexander Colome is on the mound ever in a 2-1 game. Why is Colome still on the roster and when has flipping for prospects or trading away a talented player ever worked for the Twins? This frustrating season keeps rolling along.
  21. theBOMisthebomb
    He probably deserves it, though I am not upset he didn't make it. This Twins club really only deserves one player on the All Star team.
  22. theBOMisthebomb
    I dropped into the broadcast in the bottom of the third inning to get some air conditioning shelter from a BBQ with friends. Just in time for the Twins to take the lead and then Jax to cough it right back to the Royals. The Twins look cooked and like they're just going through the motions. It was nice to hear Kitty Kaat back, though.

    I do not see what Rogers can't pitch back to back days. I know he's been less effective historically on the 2nd of back to back days. Maybe Rocco wants to baby him in the name of health and rest. Still, Rogers can pitch two days in a row. If not t, he really isn't worth much. What would they do in a seven game closely fought playoff series? Rocco kicks the can down the road all the time until there is never a tomorrow. You can get away with that strategy in a year like they had in 2019. Not in 2021, the Twins should have been in win today desperation mode weeks ago and I see no urgency. Rocco punts on games where the Twins are trailing by two runs in the late innings. They need(ed) wins, not rest. Hindsight is 20/20 and I watched the Sox series in bunker under attack mode. However, since you asked innings 6 or 7 of game 3 would have been a nice time for for Rogers.
  24. theBOMisthebomb
    Is Taylor Rogers hurt? Is the bullpen usage chart correct that Rogers hasn't pitched since last Friday? Not that it matters in the big picture, I wonder why we couldn't at least work Rogers into the Sox series.
  25. theBOMisthebomb
    Let's play these next 14 games before the break on the field and see what happens. There is a glimmer of hope that might not be that locomotive you predict. What's the best case scenario for the 2021 Twins? They get hot, sneak into the final wild card spot, make a deep playoff run, win the World Series and top the 2019 Senators comeback season. I know the odds against this happening on Baseball Reference and Fangraphs. Fangraphs has the Twins at 0.2 percent probability to win the World Series, so let's be that 1 season out of 500.
