  1. To continue striking out? Sorry, if that sounds snide and snarky. I always appreciate your posts, Seth, so I apologize in advance. But Buxton has me completely frustrated this year. Providing that he's rested and recovered, I hope another week of rehab will help straighten him out and maybe help him regain his confidence. But I'm starting to have serious doubts about Buxton.
  2. Okay, I realize that was a typo in that sentence ... but somehow that strikes me as a very appropriate comment! Yes, we should unload any deadwood we can and hope if creates opportunities for someone new that might potentially have a positive impact on this team.
  3. Sadly, that pretty much sums up where we are at right now.
  4. So many wonderful and memorable names among the new wave of Twins players, and Willie Joe Garry.is another one that just rolls off the tongue. Conversely, I also love the name Brusdar Graterol, but that one tend to wobble on my tongue and fall right off.
  5. Rodney has indeed been "Lights Out" this month. Of course, now that we are all realizing that's the case, he is due to self-destruct at any moment. Well, let hope not. But yeah, if the Twins look out of the race at this time next month, trade him while he's got some value.
  6. My mother actually withheld comment on that issue, although I could hear her mutter a subtle "tssk tssk" when the subject of his weight gain came up.
  7. You cursed him! He was doing so well and then he goes and has his worst outing of the year yesterday.
  8. Nice to see Griffin Jax pitching in the system finally. From all that I've read, he's a fine prospect, but I have to say that his name is a classic one!
  9. Getting a second chance to have Ramos back would be ideal. That's almost a no-brainer. I like Goodrum's versatility, but not sure how much he would play on this current team. Still, Call me crazy but I'd love to see Colon still on the team, if only for his colorful personality and dependability. And I'd love to take back that Aaron Hicks trade and get him back too.
  10. The Belisle implosion aside, three hits in this game and four hits in the previous one. We are not going to win many games with pathetic output like that.
  11. An impressive start! Maybe it's time to swap Mejia for Romero in the big league rotation?
  12. You're right. Probably no hurry to rush Gonsalves at this point, especially seeing as how he's struggling at bit at AAA this year. Hopefully, he just needs to make some adjustments and has no injury concerns.
  13. Sad to see that Zack Jones was released. I recall not so long ago when he was a hot prospect, and how much many people howled when he wasn't protected in that Rule 5 draft a few years ago. Baseball is such a cruel mistress.
  14. And on the subject of Buxton, when does he start his next rehab stint? And where and for how long?
  15. Yes indeed. Dozier is about a year too late to take advantage of being a free agent. Even if he has another strong second half, as he is prone to do, I doubt that will enhance his free agent prospects very much at this point.
  16. Cave and Carter? Why not! They certainly can't be any worse than what we are currently trotting out there each day. Thinking of the letter "C", whatever happened to Chris Colabello?
  17. I have to agree with that. Most of the time those "bargains" were that way for a reason ... or three. If they Twins want to compete with the elite teams they will have to either draft better/wiser, or dish out more money for the top tier free agents.
  18. I would assume so too, but then again I'm no batting expert. I defer to Parker's impressive analysis of Sano and his struggles. I think the lingering leg problems that he mentioned could be one of the keys.
  19. Well, that qualifies as an "ouch" in more ways than one. Hopefully, that won't delay his return to the team even further. Even though, it's different type of "return" what's the latest on Pineda? Will he start a rehab stint anytime soon?
  20. I also appreciate these minor league reports. Keep 'em coming! I'm starting to think that Todd Van Steensel could be a keeper, someone to help the bullpen in another year or two. But every time I see his name in print I'm reminded of Todd Van Poppel, one of the all-time great draft busts in memory.
  21. Meanwhile, I'm still trying to get my head around the fact that the Twins have called up someone named Taylor Motter to the big league club.
  22. Good to see Kohl Stewart pitching well again. Then again, it seems like every time he has a couple of good games, he takes a step back again. Any additional news about Trevor May going on the DL again? Not encouraging news.
  23. Man, where would the Twins be without Rosario this year? He and Escobar seem like the only guys who can consistently hit the ball.
