    imagine being in a coma since the 80's and waking up to find out that 5 IP from a starter is now the accepted norm.

    Worried about the pitching staff, especially the rotation. Way too many question marks. It would be one thing if someone like berrios could be counted on to give a solid start every time out. But if he’s going to be shaky and odorizzi/Hill/bailey are going to be iffy with injuries, I don’t know. I don’t trust dobnak’s stuff long term.

    Probably. But the Astros haven’t exactly crushed tampa pitching. 6-2 and currently 3-0. When the twins gave up a 7 run 3rd inning, that was it. I would like to see what the team could do when the game isn’t out of reach. But, pitching.

    Confidence is a helluva drug

    The twins won’t advance until they can avoid the Yankees. Period.

    Didn’t they always used to open on the West Coast?

    Off the top of my head I can only think of two big games in the last month or so where the team trailed late and came back to win. One was the Sunday vs Oakland when they came back in the 9th to win, but that was after they allowed 4 runs in the final innings to fall behind. The other was the first game after the break in Cleveland where they trailed in the 7th and got a few clutch hits to win. The come from ahead losses have been more frequent. A few when we just needed one more strike to win. The one game in the Oakland series and the one Yankees game. Both needed just one more out/strike. Then the inexplicable Miami loss. I’ll throw the late implosion against the Mets in there too. And then today, a great comback but couldn’t finish it. Every one of those 5 coulda shoulda been wins. Tough to give those away when the Indians never lose.

    Lead about to drop to 2 games. Amazing after the high of monday’s win combined with the Indians loss that night. Last night was the matchup the twins needed to win. Today was never going to work with Perez pitching and kepler/arraez not in the lineup. What was our win probability before the game? 15%?

    Since the twins won 6 games in a row from May 20-26, they’ve had two win streaks of 3 games and now one losing streak of 3 games. Otherwise, they’ve been alternating wins and losses at a one or two game pace. 22-20 in that time frame. Getting real close to two months of barely .500 ball. Not just a bad game or two anymore. Lead down to 4 games.

    Honestly, I worried about the team getting the big early lead and coasting through the later months of the year. I didn’t expect Cleveland to turn things around like this, and I thought if they did the twins would respond accordingly. Hasn’t happened so far. Been sort a sleep walk for a month and a half now and there’s a real danger they’ll fall out of first. I don’t think that’s just pessimistic at this point. It’s clearly possible. And I don’t believe the team can possibly sign/trade for as many parts as they need. None of the starters, while good at times, have been dominant recently, and we know what we have with the bullpen which is basically Rogers and maybe one other guy. No way can/will the ownership be able to get as much as they need. Conservatively, they need 2 relievers and a starter. But really like 3 relievers and 2 starters. It ain’t happening.
  12. Aggies7
    Just 2 or 3 more wins against these below .500 teams would have honestly changed so much. 17 games since June 1, 9-8 record. Conversely, the Indians have played 23 such games in that same period and have gone 18-5. Take care of your own business and there wouldn’t be a problem.
  13. Aggies7
    As of late, yeah. How many guys outside TR do you trust in a postseason series if we get 5 or less out of the starter? One maybe? Surely no more than two.
  14. Aggies7
    14 IP from the starters in 3 games ain’t gonna cut it in October. Not with this bullpen. Amazing they won 2/3 gettin 12 IP from the pen. That can be masked when we hit 3+ HRs a game but not when we struggle with RISP.
  15. Aggies7
    Bunting with the league leader in BA is bad karma, whoever called for it.

    I’m about to go golfing, I think tobacco is frowned upon there too. We’re persecuted I tell ya!
  17. Aggies7
    You stop it
  18. Aggies7
    I personally wouldn’t do it at a game if I were sitting next to someone for that very reason. But I’m not going to get someone removed or make a complaint if somebody was doing something that had no affect on my health or well being.
  19. Aggies7
    It’s not that I didn’t want to hear your answer, I just think you’re full of baloney. No hard feelings, were all twins fans here.
  20. Aggies7
    I just think it’s disingenuos to prefer sitting next to a guy who’s acting so obnoxiously he gets removed from a game, rather than someone spitting in to a cup.
  21. Aggies7
    Actually is was developed by players who didn’t want to chew tobacco but wanted to chew something. It’s similar to how candy cigarettes used to be available to kids. I gotta believe that affects more kids than what grown ballplayers are doing.
  22. Aggies7
    Wouldn’t a product like big league chew, even though it’s obviously gum, do more to influence kids than a player actually doing it in a game? That’s probably the only reason I even knew what chew was at an early age and I’ve always been a huge baseball fan. Also, dugouts are still disgusting, but mostly because the players just throw their trash wherever the want to, except of course for the garbage can. Take a look at a dugout floor next time you watch a game. Some role models!
  23. Aggies7
    That’s a really bizarre way of looking at it. You don’t care about another person’s personal liberties until they sit next to you.
  24. Aggies7
    From a fan’s perspective, do you want to go to a game with your kids or with whoever and sit next to a guy who’s taking full advantage of the 2 cup per visit rule? Somebody who’s been tailgating since 3 hours before first pitch and downing as much as he can before they shut off sales? We’ve all been stuck sitting next to an obnoxious drunk oaf who thinks he’s hilarious hurling insults at the opposing team. And then when you finally leave the park, you just hope he’s not near you when he hops in his car to go home. Sounds a lot worse than Byron throwing a dip in before he heads out to center

    Hey, I’m not saying it’s healthy, good for you or safe in any way, shape or form. Nor am I saying that mlb doesn’t have every right in the world to ban it. But it affects the individual user only. I’ve never heard of a player having one too many dips and running over someone as he’s leaving the park, or a player who put too much chew in and went home and beat his wife. Let alone the behavior of fans who’ve had too much to drink. Those things, and many other bad things, happen when players are allowed to drink in the clubhouse. I worked in baseball, I saw it, and while some teams have implemented their own ban, the league has yet to do so because there’s more money involved in beer than there is in tobacco. It’s simple hypocrisy, that’s all.
