    Meanwhile, Brent Rooker's batting average and OBP keeps dropping in Oakland, and Gary Sanchez is now hitting below .200 for the Padres. The Twins need bats, but not sure if even guys like that could help matters at this point.

    Good to see Henriquez taking the mound again. We need some healthy arms in the pen!
  3. Doctor Wu
    Bring up some of those Saints bats! I'm willing to take a chance at this point.

    Well, we were playing the Braves what did anyone expect? Okay, a close game or two might have been interesting, but the bottom line is that current Twins team is not very competitive. Certainly not one that can win a playoff series. If we miraculously capture the Central, it's a given that we will be swept again in the first round. Hey, at this point we are all VERY frustrated. I can't totally blame the front office. They managed to cobble together a pretty good team on paper, but with all the injuries, combined with lackluster performances (STRIKEOUTS!!!!), we are playing poorly. I'm sitting on the fence in regards to Rocco. I can't blame him for the strikeouts or groundouts, or hitting into double plays, but if getting rid of him and putting a better motivator/communicator in charge will help right this ship, I'm all for it. But as so many others have said, we need some changes, and the sooner the better.

    Speaking of organ players, the last pitcher to win 30-games in a season, Denny McClain, was quite an organ player too, He even recorded a couple of albums. You can find some clips of him playing the organ on shows like the Ed Sullivan Show on YouTube.

    I've become a big Keirsey this year. His "older" age doesn't really concern me at all. Keep moving him up the ladder!

    I always liked Mark Guthrie. Saw him pitch a lot for Orlando in AA and later with the big club. Didn't realize that he had a son playing ball too.

    Thanks for that link. Organ players are very cool and underrated, either in ball parks or on recordings!

    Very proud of Lopez and the Twins front office for being honest about this and doing the right thing. Hope he is back in the bullpen when he is ready to roll!
  10. Doctor Wu
    I'm still hoping for a quality pitcher too, plus we obviously need more catching prospects. But if some young talent like Clark is still available at the 5 pick, you gotta grab him.
  11. Doctor Wu
    Well, at least he hasn't been on the IL yet this year! Hey, Pagan is what he is. Not someone you are going to use as a closer, and someone you definitely should not use in a high-leverage situation. He's serviceable, and that's about it. Right now, he's another body in the bullpen and we still have a need for him.

    Very good article and interview Seth, I always appreciate these insights into the players in the organization. I also like knowing how to properly pronounce his name. Thanks!

    Hmm ... at the rate that injuries are happening this season, along with Keirsey's recent impressive performance, we might see him in the show THIS year.
  14. Doctor Wu
    Just no predicting this team at this point. Joe Ryan goes from pitching his finest game in a Twins uniform to perhaps his very worst. Baseball is a funny (as in strange) game.

    I would hope in the somewhat VERY NEAR future we will have some explanation or clarity in regards to Buxton's health status. We signed him to this big extension assuming he would be our centerfielder for the next several years ... but now what? This continuing mystery of will he take the field or not, has become a big issue. And yeah, what do we do next year? We need some answers from both the front office and Buxton.
  16. Doctor Wu
    During the off-season I was still sitting on the fence in regards to Duran. Keep him as reliever or let him try starting again? But at this point, it's clear the bullpen is his role, and man is he a monster in that role. Great to have him. Definitely deserving of an All-Star spot as weitz41 suggested.

    Every year I'm eager for the Twins will make a trade and go "all in" to both make the playoffs and advance in the playoffs. But this year I don't feel the urge. Mainly, because I think we have the pieces to compete, if only they were all healthy and perform as expected. And also, I really don't want to give up any more prospects (good, great, or even mediocre) for players that may not be with us another year down the road. Hey, if it's the end of July and it looks like we can't even win the Central, then go ahead and sell off any disposable assets that we have, but otherwise, I'm content to go forward with what we have, warts and all.
  18. Doctor Wu
    I sure hope you are right and we can win some games or at least give the Braves a battle. But that team is darn good, and I'm not feeling very optimistic about this series.

    Well, not exciting news, but I don't hate it. He's a veteran pitcher who hopefully is savvy enough to deal with his loss of velocity and still pitch well enough to get batters out. He's not TOO old yet, so maybe he still has something in the tank and can contribute if we need him. Hopefully, he has more upside than a veteran arm like Sanchez. If nothing else, he's well rested at this point!

    Once again, Ryan steps up, and this time in a BIG way. Thank you again to Tampa Bay for that present! Of course we had to give up 2 months of Nelson Cruz to get him, but man, that ranks as a steal at this point. Meanwhile, let's score some runs for Maeda too!
  23. Doctor Wu
    Hey, maybe he learned how to throw a knuckleball in the offseason!
  24. Doctor Wu
    At some point it's all a matter of semantics. Use a 5-man rotation, throw in a bullpen game with an "opener" whenever you need it, and just roll with whatever feels right. But the way our staff is pitching lately ... the more rest they get, maybe the better they will perform. As for Maeda, I hope he will be a starter and stay there if his performance warrants it.

    When I glanced at the headline of this post my first thought was: except the Twins don't have a player with nearly the ability or charisma of Anthony Edwards, But then I read the full article and found myself nodding in agreement. Great article! And as you noted, Lewis has, BY FAR, the most ability and charisma or any player currently on the team. I hope he can be the leader that they seem to need.
