  1. Greatest play ever. Laudner to Gaetti picking off Darrell Evans at third
  2. According to statmuse: Zack Greinke is 5-11 with an ERA of 4.72 and 108 strikeouts in 27 appearances versus the Twins in his career.
  3. If listeners have T-Mobile, they offer MLB.tv for free. Audio only is not blacked out.
  4. I think the Twins have had a lot of success against Gruntke. Those games are fun
  5. Maybe I should have worded my post differently. 10 runs is not really important. Getting blown out in a game that was close before the going to the pen is my point. There have been plenty of games that were close until the bullpen took over. In a game against Toronto the Twins were ahead 1-0 after 5 innings, a game in which Gray gave up 1 hit, Toronto scored 9 in the last 4 innings and won 9-3. They lost 11-10 to Cleveland in a game the pen gave up 7 in the last 3 innings. Against Houston they never had the lead but the pen gave up 6 in the 6th, pretty much eliminating any chance to win. They lost 11-3. They blew 7-3 lead against the Yankees, losing 10-7. They gave up 6 runs in the 8th vs the Dodgers and lost 7-2. They lost 8-1 to Boston and the bullpen again gives up 6 in the 8th. Forgive my laziness but I just threw out 10 as an arbitrary number, because my point was the bullpen takes them out of games they could or should have won.
  6. The Twins starters need to pitch at least 6 innings most of the time. Who cares if their numbers go down 3rd time through the order. If your bullpen is worn out they’re not going to be effective either. The 2022 Twins are living proof why consistently pulling starters after 4 or 5 does not work. I’d rather have a starter go 6, maybe give up a run or two 3rd time through, than wear out the bullpen to the point that they are even less effective than a starter 3rd time through. It’s makes zero sense. How many times have we seen a 1 or 2 run deficit turn into a 10 run blowout because the bullpen is overused. leave the starter in! Relying on your computer and spreadsheets to the point where common sense is over ruled is a problem that’s easily fixed. Allow your manager to think for himself.
  7. All the Twins are smiling, except Rocco, I like that. One win against KC is not a big deal
  8. We still have 3 outs to get, the Twins are supposed to win this game….. but they were supposed to sweep the Angels too.
  9. The best thing you’ve seen? Sorry I’m not looking at whatever the **** you’re looking at.
