Minnesota Twins vs Cleveland Indians series thread

• Crimson streak

  

  This team is so frustrating. They are constantly playing down to their opponents
• hoops23

  

  Should have known we shot our wad in that 10 run game against the Tigers. Every time we have a big run total our offense disappears for weeks.

  nice half-inning offense...getting the win is all the matters. oh and how about throwing us a bone here, baltimore?
• TBone14

  

  I enjoyed my perfectly smoked ribs while watching the Tribe comeback and Rage looked sharp in the 9th.
  
  Great win.
• TBone14

  

  Papa DickFuck has to be about due to blow a save for the Tigers.
• lhslep134

  

  This is why I love having the MLB package. Able to watch the Tribe and now I'm hopefully watching Valverde blow the save. Pie on 3rd, 2 down.
• lhslep134

  

  Damn. Valverde finishes them off

  Fuck Papa Homo. I hate that asshole.

  I do too. Dude is a jackass.
  
  Amazing that he's 34/34... It truly is amazing.

  Royals pitchers combine for a gem vs Chi Sox. 8 shutout innings. 5-1 Royals.
• hoops23

  

  I've seen some people (not a lot, but some) trashing Santana... There was a guy on Facebook rambling on about how we should get rid of him because in his words "We've given him multiple chances to prove himself".... I laugh at shit like that... These people clearly don't understand the game.
  
  
  Santana has been clutch all year. People are fooled by his .BA, but his other #'s are unreal, Especially for a guy who is pretty much a rookie.
  
  Projected #'s
  
  25 homers 82 RBI
  
  He currently has a .352 OBP and a .800 OPS... Those are both VERY, VERY, good...
  
  Remember, he's still 25 and this is his FIRST full season. He's going to walk over 100 times.. He's a key cog to our offense.
  
  People need to realize that with Chiz, Druby, Santana, Kipnis, Brantley, and even Carrera that the offense will have a very good young core to continue to build around.
  
  Santana is completely blowing another young highly touted catcher away in Matt Wieters...

  He is ok, but his defense is simply awful...worse than some high schoolers

  He's better than "ok"... Again, this is his 2nd season, and first full season.
  
  Does his defense need work? hell yes. But he's basically playing first for the first time this year. He's made some very good plays as well, so he's not a complete hack job in the field. It's also nice to see that his mistakes don't bother him at the plate.
  
  If LaPorta was worth a shit, Santana wouldn't be playing 1st base to begin with.
  
  Actually, looking at Santana's stats at 1B, he's pretty damn good..
  
  .993 Fielding percentage... 415 chances and only 3 errors.
