Twins need to do something about Sano. The amount of strikeouts he's had so far this season is embarrassing. 

 

Hopefully the Twins are giving Kirilloff some reps at 1B in St. Paul.

Yikes, lots of Sanó hot takes here.

 

I wish we were watching more hot takes and fewer overheated whiffs!

Yeah, he’s been brutal. He also missed all of training camp and is known to be pretty brutal when shaking off rust.

 

It just sucks that he’s doing it in a 60 game season when every game matters so much.

well he’ll probably only have 100 strike outs this year

People said the same thing last year when he started so badly.

 

He didn’t have any kind of training camp and this is his 19th game.

 

Yeah, he looks like a trash fire. We all see it.

 

But no one makes smart baseball decisions on a long term piece after 75 PAs.

is it just me or is Marwin just a way better defender than we have been giving him credit for? Every time we need a big play on D, it seems like he steps up and does it. (he's not hitting too bad either)

It’s anecdotal but I’ve seen him make plays this year I don’t remember last year.

In hindsight I wonder if the FO regrets not adding Balazovic or other SP options on the 60 man. The opener is working tonight. It feels like we’ve seen the opener/bullpen method more this year than the entire 2019 season.

Yeah, most of his track record is pretty good with some big slumps in between his hot streaks... we just have to hope that come playoff time, he doesn't look like he did last year (1 for 12, 1 HR 8 Ks).

Its almost funny that they had plans for up to nine starters going into camp and ended up with three plus Dobnak stepping up within a week of the season starting.

They could have added him at any point, but it's clear they're not interested in putting him on the roster (most the pitchers in St. Paul aren't prospects nor MLB caliber). He's certainly not MLB ready, having only thrown 73 innings at Fort Myers (A+). They have Duran, Colina, and Chalmers ready if need be.
