Otto von Ballpark Old-Timey Member Posted August 7, 2018 Author Posted August 7, 2018 I wonder when this was known?
KirbyDome89 Verified Member Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 Is there a more "Twins," move than this?
Han Joelo Verified Member Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 I wonder when this was known? Being, regretably, just a few years older than Belisle, I can attest to the fact that you get to a point where there are any number of afflictions--real, but not really debilitating--that one could choose from prior to being placed on the phantom DL. Your mileage may vary. Kick the can for ten more days...
yarnivek1972 Verified Member Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 It does seem pretty convenient. Maybe it explains how his awfulness has gone to the next level.
Mike Sixel Old-Timey Member Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 Sign an injury settlement, and move on. Teams and players do that......
wsnydes Old-Timey Member Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 Oh, well in that case I take back everything negative that I've said. It all makes sense now. /s
Brandon Verified Member Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 I've been checking mlbtraderumors today expecting to see Belisle's DFA. I guess its not gonna happen...
Monkeypaws Verified Member Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 Imagine Matt was your brother, or your son, father, cousin, etc. Not his fault the Twins management likes him. $$*&(T(*&tJ098uHO*7to8bubd#@%^$E*R&^G! OOUUCCHH! Sorry, just fell off my soapbox.

howeda7 Verified Member Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 They just can't quit him!Per Berardino: Can't quit. Won't quit.
howeda7 Verified Member Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 Sign an injury settlement, and move on. Teams and players do that......They'll DL him until 9/1 and then bring him back for some sweet September innings.
twins_89 Verified Member Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 He either needs to go on the 60 day DL or be released. Either way he shouldn't pitch again for the Twins.
rv78 Verified Member Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 He's been pitching with a bad knee? Well that explains it!I thought he maybe had a bad elbow on his throwing arm.Geeze I could've swore he was throwing with his arm, not his leg!Maybe I need glasses!

tarheeltwinsfan Verified Member Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 I'm glad the Twins could help get Lance Lynn in shape by using his Twins' time as his spring training so now Lance can help the Yankees win last night. (Not.)
Rosterman Verified Member Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 Too bad the Twins don't have an open 40-man spot, but the Pirates beat them to it. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2018/08/pirates-claim-buddy-boshers-designate-chris-bostick.html
nicksaviking Community Moderator Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 If it's a cartilage issue this should end his season no? Now with none of the on field entanglements the Twins can put him to use in the way they appear to most covet: full time clubhouse leader.
Riverbrian Old-Timey Member Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 They just can't quit him! I love it when rock song lyrics fit perfectly. "I Can't Quit You Baby" Led Zeppelin Debut Album (1969) "I can't quit you baby... So I'm gonna put you down for awhile".
Thrylos Old-Timey Member Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 Imagine Matt was your brother, or your son, father, cousin, etc. Do you want any of those to pitch for the Twins?
Pitz Verified Member Posted August 8, 2018 Posted August 8, 2018 At least, it's more fun for TD this way. You all are having a Johnny day with this one.
bird Verified Member Posted August 8, 2018 Posted August 8, 2018 "Hi, my name is Thad and I'm a Belisle-aholic.""Hi Thad!""I was Belisle free for seven months before relapsing. I'm currently starting on the Belisle patch. I'll let you know in 10 days if it works." Can we do an intervention and get Paulie on the patch too? He has these uncontrollable urges to use (Belisle).

Now with none of the on field entanglements the Twins can put him to use in the way they appear to most covet: full time clubhouse leader.Reading what the medical books say about this particular affliction, I’d say it’s more like a cracking type knee. Something I’ve had since I was about 35...
gil4 Verified Member Posted August 8, 2018 Posted August 8, 2018 Imagine all the people, living life in peace. You may say, “I’m a dreamer” but I’m not the only one.On this thread, I think you might be the only one (now that Monkeypaws has fallen off his soapbox.)
Brock Beauchamp Site Manager Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 I wonder when this was known? Can anyone confirm if this is his throwing kneecap?
Otto von Ballpark Old-Timey Member Posted August 9, 2018 Author Posted August 9, 2018 Can anyone confirm if this is his throwing kneecap?Now that I think of it -- did Twins Daily pull a Tonya Harding here?
snepp Verified Member Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 Now that I think of it -- did Twins Daily pull a Tonya Harding here? Shhhh....
ashbury Verified Member Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 Now that I think of it -- did Twins Daily pull a Tonya Harding here?I clicked Like, but quickly washed up with some antiseptic soap as I felt dirty afterward.
