2019 Minnesota Twins

[Nosferatu]

I seem to recall Joe getting pretty hot in 2017 when we chased down that wild card spot!

Right around the same time you said he wouldn't finish with a .300 career average.

I think he started hitting frozen ropes the following day.

1/5 with no extra base hits or RBI in that WC game, way to come up big again Joey HOFer!

Molitor and Erv lost us that game.

Gibson starts that game. We might have a ring.

Brings up a good point, because I was probably too easy on Molitor.

What's your assessment of Rocco, to date?

I think Rocco has been pretty damn good. He's definitely got the team liking him so thats a positive. His only truly egregious game was that Mets game(which was literally one of the worst managed innings I've ever seen).

Theres been a couple games where I feel like he's blindly decided "today is the day to get him AB's" when a different match up in the series woulda made more sense. But hes done well with such a small margin for error pitching staff.

What I love about Rocco is he keeps the same lineup almost every game. The main studs are playing almost nightly, and when they don't play he doesn't do a mass lineup juggle. Nothing drives me more crazy then seeing a guy bat 2nd, 5th, 7th, and 9th in the same week.

We have had it pretty easy so far tho, we have literally faced 1 lefty all year I think. So easy to keep things consistent. We will see how the team plays and how our lineups look as we start facing lefties(yanks are throwing 2 of them).

I remember a lot of twins hyperventilating when they drafted buxton over a pitcher


Berrios worked out just fine

and while I don't feel Buxton has lived up to the hype, he's turning into Torii Hunter out there, so I'll take it

3 out 4 from Astro's


I don't expect twins to keep this pace, but nice start

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Already an unearned run on a Buxton rare miss play

And Adrianza grounds into a DP with bases loaded.

That’s just 1.5 innings in.

We will never fucking beat these guys.

2-1 game

Error. Single. Bunt. Wild pitch. Ground out.

4-1.

Yanks could field a team of @Nosferatu and we’d lose by 7

Nah, we/I would need to find someone else to pitch and a catch otherwise yeah I think we/I would win!

Batting really doesn’t strike me as your strong suit in baseball...

Yeah, you do know so much about me...

 

[mr.hockey4242]

You’ve always told me catching was more your speed

No means no dammit!

No means no dammit!

Except when your eyes betray you...

For awhile i thought the bullpen was determined to let the yanks back into the game.
