    Trevor May pitched an inning of relief sending down all three batters he faced. Okay, I'll be annoying and ask: what does "sending down" mean? Did he strike out all three batters?

    When I saw that Snell was starting for Tampa Bay, my first thought was: oh no, another Twins loss coming up. What a pleasant surprise to be proven wrong. Great game by Gibson! Just the idea of calling Kyle Gibson an All-Star was preposterous a year ago, but now he's certainly pitching like one.

    So many choices of players who could and should break out in the second half. I'll roll the dice and pick Buxton as my (very hopeful) choice to click.

    The Giants have two starting pitchers coming off the DL this week, but I think they are planning on keeping Rodriguez in the rotation and putting Holland in the bullpen.

    Any chance that Vargas gets another shot on the major league team this year?

    On the batting side of things, Niko Goodrum went 4-for-4 and also had 1 walk yesterday for the Tigers. Only one of his hits was for extra bases (a double) but he also stole a base and scored a run. He's now batting .251 with a .325 OBP. Not amazing, but solid. He played second base in this game, but Gardy has used him all over the place (infield and outfield) this year.

    And yet another fairly impressive pitching performance: Anibal Sanchez won his 4th game for the Braves yesterday. He pitched 6.2 innings, gave up 1 run, walked 1 batter, and struck out 8. His ERA for the season is now down to 2.72. Not too shabby.

    Another great catch by Cave. Good to see him getting some love from the fans. And how about that "laser throw" by Rosario to nail a runner trying to score? Good stuff! At least we seem to be able to catch and throw the ball well lately.

    I'm hoping that Dozier catches fire this month and some team will take a gamble on him having another torrid second half, along with the "veteran leadership" factor. But which contending team might be needing a second baseman down the stretch? Someone mentioned the Mariners, who are without Cano for the time being (and who would be ineligible for the playoffs even after he comes back), but I can't think of any other team off the top of my head.

    I would think that Lance Lynn might end up being our most valuable trade chip. It seems to me that a contending club in need of another solid starting pitcher (albeit, one that can't seem to pitch more than 5 or 6 innings at a time) would grab him.
  11. Doctor Wu
    At this rate I think it's more likely that we see the return of Johan Santana before we see Ervin Santana,

    In the "another pitcher that got away" category, I noticed that Randy Rosario pitched 1.2 scoreless innings in relief for the Cubs yesterday. His ERA for the season is now 1.66. He's only pitched 21/2 innings in all, with 12 strikeouts ... but 11 walks.
  13. Doctor Wu
    An impressive starting pitching performance, a couple of player with multiple hits. Not a bad game! Then again, we were playing the Orioles.
  14. Doctor Wu
    Well, I think it's obvious that we're sellers as opposed to buyers at this point. Even more so than last year, before our nearly miraculous turnaround. I don't have much hope that this raggedy group of available players will get much in return, but I'm all on board for getting rid of those that have no immediate future with the club. Call up this new wave of players and let 'em play!
  15. Doctor Wu
    You make some good points. Indeed, it's nice to see some positives at least in his strike zone recognition. I haven't watched Kepler enough this year to have a valid opinion about what his problem is. But the results have obviously been very disappointing thus far.
  16. Doctor Wu
    I still subscribe to the crazy theory that Belisle has incriminating photos or videos of someone in the front office!
  17. Doctor Wu
    I have to agree with that. The frequent calling players up and then sending them down again quickly (often after only one game) strikes me as counterproductive. This is development?
  18. Doctor Wu
    That darn Broxton robs us again! Time to brush up on my voodoo doll making skills!
  19. Doctor Wu
    I'm happy to see Astudillo finally called up and hitting well thus far. Yeah, yeah, I know small sample size and all that, but let's enjoy this small ray of hope while it lasts. But is it my imagination or lack of paying attention: I don't think he's played a game at catcher yet.
  20. Doctor Wu
    At one point even Vargas had some of that highly valued "potential" too. You just never know in this darn game.
  21. Doctor Wu
    Well, plenty of ifs and maybes in that game, but that great catch by Broxton, robbing Mauer of a homer, really really hurt!
  22. Doctor Wu
    I think the Twins would be wise to at least float Gibson's name out there and see what other teams will offer. But I doubt we'd get much in the way of a "great" return, maybe a prospect or two, but certainly not another MLB player. For comparisons sake, what did we give to Tampa Bay for Odirizzi over the winter? Just one A-level player who wasn't even a top prospect. So,if we don't get offered much for him I think the Twins might as well hang on to him and hope his recent form continues. We might need that arm next year.
  23. Doctor Wu
    Starting again for the Giants yesterday: Dereck Rodriguez. He pitched 6.1 scoreless innings and got the win, his third one since he got called up. He also struck out 5 batters and walked 2. Can't say I saw this coming, and I guess the Twins front office didn't either. Nevertheless, another ex-Twins player having success elsewhere.
  24. Doctor Wu
    If any teams needs pitching, offer them Lynn and/or Rodney. At least those two might bring back a reasonable return of a young prospect or two. Otherwise, we ain't got much to offer anyone. Dozier has definitely seen his value plummet and I don't think it's even possible that the Twins would try and trade Mauer. Guys like Grossman would have zero value. And I don't think Santana would tempt anyone unless he came back ASAP and started throwing shutouts.
  25. Doctor Wu
    Oops, thanks for that reminder. I sometimes forget that's part of the waiver process. I hope we can hang on to the kid. Lots of potential there.
