Tonight is Fireworks Friday at Target Field!  Fireworks may have originated in China, but they are as American as baseball, apple pie, hot  dogs, and the right to blow one’s fingers to smithereens wit

He has been more of a semi-colon in Atlanta this year.

We signed Bartolo guys!!

 

Egads.  I was thinking about Colon today, and was kind of relieved that the Twins weren't mentioned as a potential option.  I figured we'd be better off with guys like Jorge in the mix.  Now, not so sure.  I can't imagine Colon could be worse than Santiago at this point, for what that's worth....hmm.

I don't want to be Captain Hindsight, but the jump from AA to the majors is a very big one... Jorge needs some time in AAA before he's ready. I don't think Gonsalves or Romero are going to help this rotation in 2017, but neither is Colon or most other fringe veteran guys the Twins have tried.

Felix may have been cooked tonight but he ain't done cooking yet. 

 

I was encouraged by that change of his and I think he can build off of it and we will see him down the line pitching decently for us. 

 

Just not today... or probably this year or maybe decade.

Did Jorge lack command or does his stuff not really play? He reminded me of radke in his manner and delivery. And the moonballs come to think of it... minus the effectiveness so far.

He's 23 and couldn't miss bats in the upper minors. There's a good chance his stuff may just not play. Not writing him off - but certainly not a good first impression, so far. I'd like to see Fernando Romero get a chance at some point.

Yes.

I was afraid of that. It's hard to be even an average starter.

Now we know what happens when El Gato does not command the lower half of the zone. Looked like they were beating up a high school pitcher.
