Berardino: Chargois Coming Up

[Seth Stohs]

Presumably, Phil Hughes would need to go on the Disabled List, but a source tells Mike that Chargois will get that promotion.

 

Very exciting after all he went through the last 3 years.

makes sense.  He's on the 40 man.  He gets a 15 day cup of coffee, and if he pitches half as well as he did in AAA, he'll stay.

[Bark's Lounge]

Well, he certainly earned/deserved it. I hope he continues this years success with the big club.

[d-mac]

About damn time!!

[alarp33]

Good. Now I hope Molitor uses him.

 

I wouldn't be shocked if it was May going to the DL, btw

So if he's only up for 15 days, would you take the over or under on 9.5 saves? 

[TwerkTwonkTwins]

Yeah I'm thinking May to the DL. Not pitching for a week + Cortisone Shot + Ineffectiveness = DL.

 

 

Rehab May as a starter please! 

[Squirrel]

Woohoo!!! So excited for this move!

I'd take the under on 9.5 save opportunities

 

Though given the state of the pen, if he pitches well, Molitor might pitch his arm off and given him 3 innings a night. 

[twinsnorth49]

Wow, something to actually look forward to......I hope.

[TheLeviathan]

It makes me sad that my first thought with this wasn't "Yes! Can't wait to see him!", but instead "I wonder if we'll even see him".

 

Ugh.

Even if it wasn't injury related, I'd still send May down to be stretched out as a starter....

[Mike Sixel]

Awesome. Let's hope the manager uses him, and he isn't Polancoed.

[bluechipper]

Great news. I hope he takes the opportunity and runs with it, never pitching in the minor leagues again.

[wsnydes]

 

So if he's only up for 15 days, would you take the over or under on 9.5 saves? 

i'll take the under only because I don't think this team can manage that many opportunities in such a short span.

[KGB]

 

Awesome. Let's hope the manager uses him, and he isn't Polancoed.

Considering how our starters are performing, there will be plenty of innings for everyone.

[diehardtwinsfan]

I suspect Chargois will get some low leverage opportunities to start... but if Molly doesn't use him, well let's just say I have no words.  Other than Abad, is there anyone in the pen that is trustworthy right now?

Rhetorical question..............right?

Ugh.

Fourth inning of a game trailing by six runs--- no thank you. We already have several guys tailor made for that role.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Glad to hear!

[rghrbek]

I'm pumped to see this kid live.  I am also excited to get off of the last team in MLB to have a pitcher throw one 98mph pitch in the last 6 years...not sure if that is accurate but you know what I mean

[twinsnorth49]

But will he pitch to contact? This is the question.

[Pardon My Dinger]

Chargois. Can't wait to say Chargois a bunch. Chargois.

[Halsey Hall]

Yes

[twinsnorth49]

 

Yes

Have the Twins heated up the Target Field gun in the last few weeks? Ryan Pressly has hit 98 several times and Ervin Santana hit 96 a few times last night.

[Thrylos]

Under.  Based on the way Molitor used others in his situation (eg. Jorge Polanco), he'd be happy to face 9.5 batters

[Thrylos]

 

Chargois. Can't wait to say Chargois a bunch. Chargois.

 

Can't wait for Bert to (try to) say Chargois a bunch...

[Platoon]

Ugh.

The Twins are in a situation where every win counts! sometimes when I watch Molitor flip pitchers I can't decide if he is trying to save his job, or develop a young baseball team?
