    I'm not a huge fan of Molitor as a manager, and I think we could easily find a better fit for the team. But I also think it's unfair to blame him for the performance of the team so far this year. Too many injuries and a suspension and other weirdness that's beyond his control.

    You wrote: they are however, second in pickoffs with 12. I'm nitpicking here (hey, I was an editor for a few years!), but shouldn't that be second in having runners picked off base, as opposed to having our pitchers excel at making pickoffs? I assume that's what you meant, but I had to read that a few times to figure it out.

    Shocked to see that Felix Jorge was released. What's the consensus on why that move was made? Not making any progress with his injury rehab or what? Man, I hope this isn't another Chargois-like move that the Twins will soon regret.

    I was becoming seriously worried about Mauer's bleak performance since he returned from the DL, but this was very nice to see! Yeah yeah yeah, only one game, but hopefully it will jump-start him and the rest of the team.

    Happy to see Astudillo finally promoted and given a chance. But how much will he actually play? I don't understand why Wilson is still being given so many starts behind the plate.

    I noticed in the Roster Moves that you posted the Twins signed Juan Graterol and assigned him to Rochester. My first thought; is he related to our Brusdar Graterol? And then I wondered why he is playing at AAA? Never heard of the guy before .But a quick net search revealed that he was recently with the Angels, among several other organizations. Looking at his Wikipedia page, he tends to get signed by teams and then put on waivers or released a month or two later, never actually having played for the club So ... what's the deal with this guy? No doubt roster filler since we now need another catcher at AAA, but does he have special attributes (hitting, pitch framing, etc.) that will make him worth keeping for a while?

    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.

    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.
  9. Doctor Wu
    Sadly, that pretty much sums up where we are at right now.
  10. Doctor Wu
    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.

    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.
  12. Doctor Wu
    Not to be dramatic but the front office MAY... May... may... in my opinion of course... may have pulled the plug with this move. If they thought they were still in contention. They probably hang on to Romero since he has been (while not perfect)... better. Oh well, I jumped the gun.You had me thinking that this was a segue leading to a plug for Trevor May in the rotation!
  13. Doctor Wu
    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.
  14. Doctor Wu
    You cursed him! He was doing so well and then he goes and has his worst outing of the year yesterday.
  15. Doctor Wu
    I fully support Profar's efforts to steal a base at that point. These unwritten rules frequently come off as so juvenile that I can't help but roll my eyes. Hey, it's baseball: the game ain't over till it's over. Play hard all nine innings!
  16. Doctor Wu
    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!
  17. Doctor Wu
    I vote for that move!
  18. Doctor Wu
    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.

    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.
  20. Doctor Wu
    An impressive start! Maybe it's time to swap Mejia for Romero in the big league rotation?
  21. Doctor Wu
    Yeah, he finally got called up and went 2 for 3 in his season debut yesterday! Other than Rosario and Escobar, How many guys in our current starting lineup have had 2 hits in a game this month?
  22. Doctor Wu
    The Twins signed a Casanova? Excellent news!
  23. Doctor Wu
    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.
  24. Doctor Wu
    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.
  25. Doctor Wu
    And on the subject of Buxton, when does he start his next rehab stint? And where and for how long?
