Buck with a second homer and Jeffers joins in. 7-4 Twins.


Fun to score 9 off Lance Lynn. Buxton king for a day.

When Buxton was his most productive, he said he was trying to hit the ball through the wall, not over it. As DH, it looks like he developed an upper cut swing. The first hr last night looked like a return to his earlier swing. A level swing that produced a low trajectory 114 mph bullet. Good sign. The Twins desperately need Buxton to heat up in the second half.

Per Rocco/Doogie, Polanco will start at third Saturday for the Saints.

Translation: they know Julien's arm cannot work at 3B.

Translation: Julien took Polanco's job and Jorge will have to learn new positions to get on the field.

Julien is awful at his "natural" position of 2B. But hey, it's all about the bat. I agree he has to stay in the lineup.

And trying to break him into a new position at this time could disrupt a very productive bat. Frankly, I think Polanco is better suited to a utility role at this point in his career. I don't know that his legs can hold up playing a position every day.

Good point.

What is the pink eye carrier? probably the 10,000 rakes vest



Mister Ed -> RE: Twins 2023 Season and Game Day Thread (7/22/2023 3:38:06 PM)

Pink Eye effect, day 2

3. Alex Kirilloff 1B
4. Max Kepler RF
5. Matt Wallner LF

8. Christian Vásquez C
9. Michael A Taylor CF



Mister Ed -> RE: Twins 2023 Season and Game Day Thread (7/22/2023 8:58:21 PM)

Dose of reality for Julien/Kirilloff and Wallner with a ton of off speed pitches in this game.



Steve Lentz -> RE: Twins 2023 Season and Game Day Thread (7/22/2023 9:28:43 PM)

solid pitching. Twins win!



Brad H -> RE: Twins 2023 Season and Game Day Thread (7/23/2023 8:09:33 AM)

Joey Gallo now batting .180. Last three games, 0-for-10 with 7 k's.

Not sure I've ever seen a .180 average from a guy that plays most of the games. The guy has struck out 105 times in 217 at-bats. Man, that is bad!



Brad H -> RE: Twins 2023 Season and Game Day Thread (7/23/2023 8:14:44 AM)

Pablo Lopez:

5-6, 4.22 ERA

You guys still think he is more valuable than Arraez?



Mister Ed -> RE: Twins 2023 Season and Game Day Thread (7/23/2023 11:54:35 AM)

Pink Eye

1. Carlos Correa SS

8. Ryan Jeffers C
9. Michael A Taylor CF

Tommy Watkins is sooo good at sending runners

and the starters are being plagued by the gopher ball.



Mister Ed -> RE: Twins 2023 Season and Game Day Thread (7/23/2023 1:51:07 PM)

Buxton's one game wonder

SMH

Throw him off speed and he's toast. Very Sano-like

Watkins has taken the Twins storied history of terrible 3B coaches to a whole new level.

Sweeeeep!!!!

I wouldn't even consider undoing the trade. Lopez is better than those basic numbers.

Far be it for me to bitch after a win and a sweep, but here goes. Wallner was 2 for 2 with a walk and Rockhead pinch hits Christian Vazquez, literally the worst hitter in baseball, for him.



Mister Ed -> RE: Twins 2023 Season and Game Day Thread (7/23/2023 5:48:45 PM)

Tball managing at its best;

iPad managing at its worst

Thanks to Chicago being bad, they still find a way to win.

Single, double, hit by pitch and walk.
Vazquez pop out to 2nd and ground into double play.
Brilliant managing.
We just can't appreciate Rocco's feel for the game.

How about the 2 guys actually replacing Arraez?

Also he pinch ran for Solano with a guy with vision issues from pink eye; so when he came to bat 2 innings later could only bunt.

Walker Jenkins is one of only two first-rounders, and the only top 20 draft pick, who still has yet to sign.

Deadline is in 48 hours 😳

Not to mention, the Kirilloff double, tied the game and sent it into extra innings.
