SWSiouxMN Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I've seen enough of this game to say this If the Twins don't sweep the Rangers this weekend, something is wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Good start by Pineda tonight coming off the injury. Got the team off the field and back in the dugout when they were piling it on early. Smeltzer saves the bullpen by going four, and the Rangers show the world how not to run the bases. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That half inning of their base runnin errors was bizarre. Never seen anything like it before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statements pounded into us by an old baseball coach: - Never make the first or last out of an inning at third base. - Never get trapped off base on a line-out to that base. - If it's going to be close, only send the runner home to tie. The Rangers broke all three ... in one inning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Alright.....Cleveland loses. Rocco has got to do whatever possible to win this game. Get through the 6th here Ode, and then Duffy, Romo, Rodgers. And......we fall behind......gotta get the bats going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Maybe a few notes to take defensively for Rocco. When they are in over shift mode for left handed hitters they can't have Sano be the only guy on the left side of the infield in the shortstop spot. Keep the regular shortstop there and put him wherever between first and second. And Adrianza is now your 8th inning and later short stop or third baseman for defensive purposes when they have the lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Yankees doing their part against the Indians. Twins now need to take care of business with Berrios on the mound going against a guy with a high ERA. Get the lead up to 2 1/2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jodcon Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Well putting up a couple FG's in the first doesn't hurt... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Sloppy in the field.....what on earth is Cave doing? And Berrios leaving the ball up. Twins up 8-3 in the 2nd, but goodness do they not look good in the field at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 And because Cave missed the cut man, Choo doesn't hit into a double play and the inning continues, and now Danny Santana is the second coming of David Ortiz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Cave has got to get the runners over and instead looks at strike three. Two nights removed from getting Kepler drilled because he missed a sign. When does Buxton come back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWSiouxMN Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Twins top pitching prospect promoted to AAA. Guessing he gets a week in pen duty there and then gets unleashed on the main roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be 21 in a week or so and has all the makings of a shut down closer if he stays away from arm issues. If he stays consistently sharp he needs to be on the big club soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
