Twins 2022

Somebody needs to feed the fat kid a cheeseburger.

Garbage bullpen.

No. 2 garbage bullpen pitchers which our idiot manager managed to use both in the same inning because he’s a complete idiot. Sure Pagan gave up the HR but he never should’ve been in that situation if Theilbar didn’t suck so bad. Rocco always uses he worst arms in the biggest situations. I think that’s what his analytics team tells him.

That was embarrassing
The Hamburgler was wandering all over the field.

Thats two wins they have been gifted with some of the worst defense I have seen.

Looked like a little league game from both the Tigers and Twins. I refuse to acknowledge sano as the hero here.

Thank you Detroit.

That might have been the worst baseball play from both sides I’ve ever seen.

Hell no! He darn near cost them the win by being a complete idiot!

I guess he doesn’t get a lot of practice running the bases.

I think we saw why Grossman is a ex Twin. Kepler makes that play.
Nice day for Kepler hitting also.

I still can’t believe Rocco’s bullpen usage. Why does he always bring in his worst relievers in close games?

Thielbar has a history of being very good or very bad. Not much in between for him. Last night he was bad.

Pagan has been good, i’m sure they are trying to build his confidence.

I don’t wanna talk about Duffy.

Sano obviously doesn’t know how to run the bases because he never gets on. The one time he hit a homer this year, he must’ve got it stuck in his head that he’s supposed to just keep running around the bases til he gets home…

and once again Sano gets a win for the Twins. Guy just knows how to make things happen.

Love those baby blue uni’s!

HAHA

Theilbar was decent last season until the second half. He’s been absolutely terrible since the current season started.

That was like one of my kid’s little league games the end of the game. Holy cow was that bananas.

Hahaha came here to say the same, what a walkoff for the future Mini Papi! It’s probably a combo of the Twin, T’wolves and my advancing age, but the fundamentals at the highest levels are embarrassing. That stuff wouldn’t fly with my 12 year old travelling baseball squad, let alone higher levels.

Yeah fundamentals are gone in just about everything but hockey and football it seems.

In other news, Simeon Woods Richardson (acquired in the Berrios trade) has 3 starts with 16 innings, 5 hits, no runs and 14 Ks for AA Wichita.

Don’t the pocket protectors think thats not enough K’s per inning?
Does he have a win?

He is 1-0.

Arraez playing 1st tonight. I didn’t see that coming but I like it.

I think Pineda might have be the new Captain Cheeseburger. Holy smokes is that guy top heavy!

I like Joe Ryan more each time I watch him start. He looks to have figured out he needs to mix pitches more than he did in the minors and it’s really effective.

I’ll be the first to admit I never thought Ryan would be anything more than a #4 or #3 at best. He is just dominate at this point. Maybe he falls off but for right now he has it going.

Think Kep’s hot?

I didn’t either. I really thought he was going to get rocked once pitchers got some tape on him throwing all those fastballs. Really glad to see him adjusting well.

A good year out of Kepler could really help this team. Not confident he can put it together but he’s on the ball the last couple games that’s for sure.

I’m more of a Kepler guy than a Sano, Larnach, Jeffers guy. But thats why they play the games. The better they are the better the Twins chances.

I know it’s only three times through the rotation but I can’t get over this rotation. Not to mention the best one of them hasn’t even started for two weeks. If they get Grey going when he comes back even if only a couple of them keep it going the rotation should be pretty solid.

I wonder if Ryan got the Dickey from Cousin Eddie??

It’s just nice to watch a guy that can actually pitch versus guys just trying to throw as hard as they can with no location. He is automatic right now.

I noticed that too! Classic! He seems like he has a lot of Cali to him. I won’t hold him against him if he keeps pitching like this.

That’s 6 in a row! Not sure we did that all of last season!

I can see it now… “Joe Ryan Dickey Night” next April
