FlauerPauer First Round Pick

I agree. Just not super confident in bailey and quite honestly Dobnak either. If Hill is out and berrios is shaky, yikes. Just my two cents

 

Nah, dude, I totally agree with you. Dobnak got rocked by the Yankees last year. Sure he can handcuff the Pirates and White Sox, but we need guys who can take on the Yankees. Berrios isn't the number 1 guy. Maybe Maeda could throw a good game. Pineda perhaps. 

 

I don't know who that guy may be right now. Maybe Luis Castillo of the Reds? Certainly don't see Matthew Boys as that guy. Mike Minor? Would you give up the farm for DeGrom; assuming that he'd be available? Jonathon Gray? Robbie Ray? 

 

Pipe dream, obviously, would be to trade Lewis, Kirilloff, and Balazovic for DeGrom or one of those three for Gray. Castillo is a stud. I'd do two of those three for him. Robbie Ray is a viable option; may not cost a ton either, but would still give up one of those three for him. I'd try to keep Kirilloff as long as possible with Lewis being my preferred trade bait.

I'm a bit surprised Wisler went back out there after making the end of last inning so interesting, but here we are...

 

 

But, but, but... he's got great spin rate on his slider....

 

Not sold on Wisler at all.

Can't drop back to back losses to the Pirates and Royals, come on boys

This is what happens when 3/5 of your rotation is out. Unless you’re hitting the bombas with guys on base it’ll be tough

I said this yesterday (talking about the entire Pittsburgh series) and got flamed for it

 

Stats back this up. Twins lineup has been mediocre so far this year. The pitching has been what the team has been using to win ballgames.

A lot of early runs tends to do that I guess.

Bad call changes the inning

Yep, should be 2 on, 1 out.

 

Late in a 1-run game it's just brutal to see that. I know robo-umps have drawbacks but I think every time we see this kind of thing, more people will call for them.

I'm a homer. For sure a homer, but Jack and Dick need to quit talking about Theilbar like he's going to be staying in the majors.

Twins have a lot of “good story” pitchers don’t they

Well, hell, he's from Minnesota. Probably a good guy. Likes to hunt and fish.

I thought Thielbar's fastball was around 94-95 (with his new approach/arm slot)? So far between his two appearances I've seen 89-91.

Are you thinking of 2014?
