    No, I don't think anyone forgot his struggles last season but many of us remember how he flat-out dominated AAA the year before. For whatever reason, he stumbled last season. Well, he hasn't stumbled this season... And given how he has logged ~240 innings in Rochester and is 26 years old, it's not the worst idea in the world to give him a shot and see what happens. After all, the Twins are currently 7-14. If they want to compete this season, they're going to need something more than mediocrity... And Meyer, while a bit of an enigma, is certainly capable of "more than mediocrity". Inversely, he's also capable of being absolutely terrible. But that's a roll of the dice I'm willing to take. Meyer could be worth 2-3 wins more than Milone all by himself.

    Lots of knee-jerk stuff happening over the past few months, hard to argue with that... But overall, I haven't had a big problem with how the Twins handled Meyer. He was flat-out awful last year and going to the pen was probably the right call, as was putting him back in the rotation to start the season. As for the current situation, I'll give it a week or two before drawing a conclusion. If the Twins let Meyer rot on the bench, that's... just illogical. If they give him a significant bullpen role, I won't like it much but I'll understand the thinking behind it. If they find a way to get him into the rotation, I'll be a big fan of the move.

    Pinch-hit Kurt Suzuki.

    Or maybe it's Drunken Kung-Fu, lulling opponents into a false sense of security and/or confusion.

    Twins Daily is going to get whiplash if people keep jumping on and off the Meyer bandwagon with such vigor. But I agree that he should get another chance to start. I don't really understand anything that's happening this season. It all seems so haphazard.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    I would be more excited if Gibson and Milone went on the DL.
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    Stuart's start is promising but he's not the type of guy you rush to the majors... You let that guy simmer and see if he's for real, then you promote and cross your fingers.

    Actually, Garza struggled for nine starts in his rookie season and then went on to post a solid half-season the following year. Then he was traded.

    It wasn't necessarily a *bad* move but it was certainly questionable. Mauer has a higher chance of moderate success in that situation (walk, single) but Sano has the higher chance of "you just lost the game because I hit the ball 600 feet" success. It was a dicey move to pitch to either guy but I would have probably taken my chances with Mauer driving in a run or two over Sano possibly driving in 3-4 runs (can't remember if the bases were juiced or whether two guys were on base).

    He's so smart. He knows baseball. Yet... Yet... Damn, I just don't get it.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    Sano has a higher OPS than Mauer over the past 14 days but okay.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    Intentionally walking Joe Mauer to face Sano. Tis a strange world we live in, this 2016.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    You can't repromote a player for 14 days... Though there may be an injury exception, I can't recall.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    That's the direction I'm leaning as well. I hoped Milone would be offloaded last winter but oh well, that didn't happen.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    Is Milone out of options? I think he is but with so many Twins players out of options this season, I lost track.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    How is using your best relievers in a tie game at home bad managing? That's not only common practice, it's common sense. Get the outs, try to win in the bottom of the inning. At home, you work the pen backwards from the ninth inning onward.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    If Joe wins another batting title, he's a lock. If Joe has 2-3 more .300 batting average seasons, he's a lock. Right now, he's a maybe.

    Kohl Stewart pitched 129 innings last season. At his current rate, he's going to pass last season's strikeout total at the 50 inning mark.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    Woof.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    The Twins are really good at putting pressure on Brewer pitching. Unfortunately, it seems to stop there.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    Why does it matter? Season over. Pathetic.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    Actually, that slogan really works for me. Champagne tastes like bubbly ass water. Miller High Life tastes like bubbly ass water. Scotch is good. So is bourbon. That is all.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, he's not what I expected at all. I expected more of a dead-pull swing-from-his-heels hitter who walked a lot in KBO because pitchers were terrified of him. That hasn't been the case. He has a pretty good eye, especially considering how he has only faced MLB pitching in games that matter ~50 times.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    I don't think it will be that surprising if his strikeouts decline in time. What *has* surprised me is Park's relatively polished approach at the plate but now that I've seen him take his hacks, I think it's entirely possible he adjusts his approach to better suit a more advanced league. The guy could get away with a ton of strikeouts in Korea because he routinely teed off on the inferior pitching in that league... But MLB is a different animal. It wouldn't surprise me to see Park sacrifice a bit of power for more contact and a more disciplined approach to compensate facing the best pitching in the world.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    I have no problems calling up a young player for a week or two to ride the bench... But if it's going to extend toward a month or more, then another option should be explored (if possible).
