  1. I think you're cherry-picking a bit here by using a ten game sample size... Oswaldo Arcia has 596 MLB PAs against RHP with a .807 OPS. Instead of making a decision overly complex, just take the easy option by calling up Arcia and let Max continue to develop at his own pace. Besides, Oswaldo is out of options after this season anyway. He has thumped AAA pitching multiple times. Really, this decision should be as easy as it gets.
  2. I think it's too early for Kepler. He has only shown success in A+ for half a season and AA this season. As we've seen in the past, calling up promising, but marginal, prospects straight from AA can turn ugly in a hurry. Go with the sure thing against righties and that's Arcia.
  3. I believe he's supposed to start his rehab today or tomorrow.
  4. Well, we already know one thing for sure: Oswaldo Arcia can hit righties and hit them pretty hard. Given Hunter's advanced age and underwhelming defense, starting up a quasi-platoon makes all the sense in the world.
  5. It appeared Nunez' helmet made it to first before he did. Unbelievable.
  6. As the original post stated: 2015 Twins v. LHP: .261/317/.399 (.716) (6th best OPS in the AL) 2015 Twins v. RHP: .245/.298/.395 (.693)(13th best OPS in the AL).
  7. That inning was a good example why young teams struggle to win down the stretch. Rosario has an absolutely awful at-bat, Hicks gives it the ol' college try but gets screwed by the ump.
  8. Kurt will not go quietly into the night.
  9. A completely unhittable pitch. Can't fault Aaron for that one.
  10. Rosario's free-swinging nature gets the best of him there.
  11. Price is not on his game right now. The Twins need to take advantage of it.
  12. Damn, Miguel Sano is good at teh beisbol.
  13. BUNTING IN THE THIRD INNING ARRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
  14. My point is that could have happened on any play at any time while sliding into a base. It was an unfortunate event but not the kind of thing you can train runners to avoid. Sliding is part of baseball and collisions will happen from time to time. That was, again unfortunately, a worst case scenario of the event.
  15. Here's the play. It's just weird. Justin actually turns toward the second baseman's knee. If he leans away from the fielder or just stays upright, he slides into the base without issue. If the shortstop doesn't bobble the ball, the second baseman throws the ball to first without issue. http://m.mlb.com/video/v9761163/mintor-morneau-leaves-the-game-after-getting-hurt
  16. I have no issues with guys breaking up the DP. It happens thousands of times a year and guys don't get hurt doing it. It was a weird play that could have happened almost anywhere on the diamond.
  17. I'm pretty sure he was breaking up a DP but my memory is hazy.
  18. There is no good reason to trade Dozier. None. This team shouldn't even consider punting at positions of strength right now because there are still very few of them.
  19. I don't understand kicking the can down the road, either. I believe the Twins should still be in a cautious phase (as in, don't go all-in) but given the depth of this farm system, we shouldn't be concerned about losing minor prospects to improve today's MLB team. The Jepsen move doesn't really upset me, what upsets me is the return of Jepsen and that it was the only move made at the deadline. At the very least, Ryan shouldn't have balked at giving up another Hu-level (or lesser) prospect for another bullpen arm. Jepsen helps shore up a team problem but the problem is bigger than one person.
  20. The Twins are somehow still in a playoff spot. I'm not sure how that happened but it's the reality of the situation. Teams in playoff contention should not care about nickels on the ground.
