    "If there are still those of you out there that believe in this club, the Twins likely need to go at least 10-4 to while getting within single digits of the division lead." ? Don't stop believin' Hold on to that feelin' Streetlights, people Don't stop, believin' Hold on Streetlights, people Don't stop believin' Hold on to that feelin' Streetlights, people ?

    Yeah, it kinda felt like when they didn't push that second run across in the first inning it was not a good sign for the rest of the evening. It's similar to when the Vikings have a dominant drive in the first quarter then settle for a field goal. Arraez was wildly waving for Larnach to come home. Don't you have to trust Arraez (who is right there in the middle of the action) over the third base coach in that scenario?

    Both options are scary and could really handcuff the entire franchise if the contract goes downhill. I'm glad I'm not making these decisions.

    The entire RBI or RBIs or RsBI debate is R BS I. Who is pedantic enough to care?
  5. theBOMisthebomb
    I mean yeah, that's the attitude the Twins and their fans need to have. Why not us and why not now? I will cling to any glimmer of hope.

    Yes, I am in the camp that if the ship is still sinking at trade deadline 2023 then you can start looking at replacing one or both of the Falvine duo. Patience is a virtue and we are in for the long haul with these guys.

    This game was over after one pitch from the Twins? That's just so symbolic of this season. I had to look up the definition of talismanic: relating to or of the nature of a talisman or talismans. "symbolism can be attached to talismanic objects" representing and inspiring a particular group. "they are without their talismanic captain" We can keep learning even during this bleak 2021 Twins season.

    With Texas nipping at their heels one game back of the Twins. Thank goodness for Baltimore. In the NL, only Pittsburgh, Colorado, and Arizona have worse winning percentages than the Twins.

    So great to beat the cheat (ers). What an unlikable franchise the cheating Astros are. There were well deserved boos yesterday at Target Field directed at main cheating villain Altuve and other cheaters from the Astros.

    I'm blowing out the bullpen Friday night and going with Berrios and Jax on Saturday. If Berrios gets knocked out early on Saturday then Jax is throwing until he hits his pitch limit. Three pitches from Rogers and zero from Robles and Colome (I can't believe I'm saying that) is unacceptable. Tomorrow will never come if they don't start stringing wins together and if it does it will be meaningless. Screw the stupid win probability chart, one run down is one swing from a tie game.

    The Twins are in desperation mode, or at least should be as this botched season slowly slips through their fingers. They have to beat teams like the Astros when they have a chance. Shoemaker doesn't make sense in this context as I don't think the Twins can worry about tomorrow. I was at CHS to enjoy the fireworks so didn't see the Twins game so don't have all the details and refused to watch the replay.
  12. theBOMisthebomb
    Wasn't Robles available? He only threw 11 pitches on Thursday night.
  13. theBOMisthebomb
    My only gripes with your plan is that Rortvedt looks nothing like an MLB catcher and I'd like to hold on to Big Mike Pineda.
  14. theBOMisthebomb
    That baserunning blunder in KC is painful to watch.
  15. theBOMisthebomb
    Ol' Gilber-two errors Celestino.
  16. theBOMisthebomb
    20,000 seems like a good number for the Twins to aim for. The upcoming Yankees series should give them a boost.

    It's sad that this club has been reduced to prospect watching and goofing around with new things. I thought we were going to get a legitimate competitive window that lasts, not two seasons followed by the obligatory first round sweep. Maybe 2021 is a blip on the radar and they will turn it around in the second half or 2022 or something. Just looked at the standings and they fell behind Detroit again.
  18. theBOMisthebomb
    So, the Twins window of two seasons is now closed and we must slog through the next two and a half seasons to hope to be competitive in 2024? Man, how I hope this isn't true.
  19. theBOMisthebomb
    I am deeply in the denial stage of this pig show of a season. The weather hasn't turned yet in Minnesota and this club is too talented to be this bad and already be out of contention. Whatever, right... Just enjoy the game and detach from the outcome.

    LaTroy Hawkins is so awful on air that he makes Morneau sound like a polished veteran on the mic. And, I think Morneau is borderline unlistenable. Add that to the annoying (yet admittedly competent) Dick Bremer and I yearn for the fun days of Bert Blyleven.

    Wally Absorbine Joyner.

    La Russa gave him the take sign and the guy swung through it in an 11 run game. It was a bush league move clearly to simply pad stats and was selfish. Ignoring a sign from the manager seems to be a known (written) rule. Many times in life something is technically not wrong, which does not mean it wasn't a jerk move. I'm glad the Twins at least did something to show they have some fight.

    Tim Anderson (and presumably the White Sox in general) basically laughed at the Twins when they signed Happ. https://www.google.com/amp/s/yanksgoyard.com/2021/01/22/yankees-tim-anderson-reaction-ja-happ-signing/amp/

    I also noticed the two other players backing up the play weren't really in good position to back up the play since they were scrambling to get over there. There are many subtleties to the shift. Not to mention, we have a third baseman turning the double play instead of the shortstop brought in this season for defense.

    Is this is the first wave the white flag recap of the season?
