    Sorry if this was posted elsewhere......

    I believe it was on the MLB network.

    Is the standard for overturning a call "clear and convincing evidence?" If so, doesn't the fact that there's been sooooo much debate about this call mean it wasn't clear and convincing? The call on the field was out.....what clear and convincing evidence was there to make an overturn? I'm confused. As to the throw from Beckham? I don't think you can complain for a guy playing LF for (I think) the 3rd time.....just a sucky way to lose a game.

    Why not take a shot at Dinelson Lamet for a bullpen arm????

    Huh? Is it callous to send Moran down? Or how about Sanchez after he won a game or us last week? Are you seriously implying that the Twins should hang on to Duffey in the middle of a pennant race because he's been around for 11 years? Ugh....that's the kind of thinking that needs to go. They're paying him 3.8 million dollars this year....and he's been terrible......and it's not going to suddenly get better. I wish my employer was that callous. I guess I don't know what to say....no one has made a case why Duffey is on the team, other than he's a "good guy".

    If it's not Duffey, he must have some compromising pictures of Rocco somewhere......... EDIT==I now see it's Moran and I don't get it. Can anyone make a case for why Duffey should be on this team? I don't even understand the comparisons between Duffey and Pagan. I have zero problem with Pagan being the 6th inning guy. He's got stuff....can get a strikeout and (most) of his issues seem to come in 8th or 9th inning high leverage/save situations. Duffey right now is just praying for something to be hit at someone or the off chance someone will swing at one of his slurves in the dirt. IMHO he's almost unusable.

    Cody Lawyerson has a really funky delivery.....looks like he hides the ball real well. I can see him being a 1-2 inning bullpen arm down the road.
  8. cheeseheadgophfan
    The FO couldn't possibly say with a straight face that they are trying to win and then trade Correa. I agree that he isn't necessarily living up to his contract (at least at the plate) but you may have lost the clubhouse if he was traded. I love the moves. I think Povich has a real chance to be a good major league pitcher, but you got an all-star closer and one of the top 5 starting pitchers that got moved. A- grade at least.
  9. cheeseheadgophfan
    Is there some kind of promise that he will get a shot at the full-time shortstop position next year? I know it's a one year deal, but I wonder if that's a possibility?
  10. cheeseheadgophfan
    Winder has been shut down.....sent back for rehab work. No one is going to trade for him right now. You can't give up Miranda....he's been our most productive hitter/run producer over the last month. He's a cornerstone. I don't know if Larnach holds value while injured (hernia surgery shouldn't be a huge red flag). If Arraez can play a serviceable 2B, why isn't Polanco a trade chip? Will it screw with team chemistry too much?
  11. cheeseheadgophfan
    I would agree with you....my post was in general I would use Larnach and Winder as trade chips in any deal, even though i know this is a Montas thread.
  12. cheeseheadgophfan
    Ahhhh....good one. You got me. Rotator cuff would've been the proper term, and worse result for Winder.
  13. cheeseheadgophfan
    Larnach and Winder are the two trade chips that I'd offer. I think AK has the chance to be something special. I think Larnach is always going to be susceptible to offspeed stuff. Winder seems like he's Tommy John waiting to happen......
  14. cheeseheadgophfan
    Didn't mean to infer that I know him, just what I'd heard. He was healthy enough (from what I heard) to pitch at the end of the college season but shut it down to prepare for his pro career. The Rocker route makes no sense. The only reason Rocker went independent ball was the Mets literally didn't make him a contract offer due to medical red flags. I doubt that's the case here. The independent route has not worked out for anyone in the past that i can think of......just my 2 cents.
  15. cheeseheadgophfan
    Rucker and Larnach had 2 of the best college seasons of all time (granted at the D1 level) and they hist .387 and .348 respectively. So anyone hitting over .350 in college is still impressive.
  16. cheeseheadgophfan
    Prielipp is going to sign. He wants to be a pro.....now. He doesn't want to wait. College baseball was his showcase. I saw a couple of Bama games and on at least 2 occasions it was "intimated" that some weren't happy with him that he was sitting out the whole season and not even considering coming back toward the end of the season to help out the team and make a run in the CWS. He sat out to protect his professional stock and avoid any chance at injury. No way he goes back to play another year of college baseball. If the Twins make him a reasonable offer, he will sign. I wonder if the parameters of a deal were already in place.
  17. cheeseheadgophfan
    Texas State is not DII....they were a very good D1 team who could've/should've beat Stanford to advance to the CWS.....they absolutely choked in game 3 of the series and Stanford advanced. I noticed him during the series....he was clearly their best offensive player.
  18. cheeseheadgophfan
    If they are going to get a legit starting pitcher at the deadline, they are going to have to give up some real assets which include Lewis (hope not), Martin and Steer all of whom play similar positions to Lee and Schrobel. I have a feeling this played into their thinking as well.
  19. cheeseheadgophfan
    So we need a starting pitcher, 2 relief pitchers and a hitter, but don't sell the farm? Good luck with that. IMO....we don't need a hitter. Who are you benching? What we need is guys to perform to their contracts (Correa and Buxton) and the young guys to continue to develop (Miranda and AK). If we are going to get Montas or Castillo we are going to have to give up some real assets, not Cave, Gordon, Urshella, etc..... I'm hopeful that Ober can help soon. Maeda as a bullpen piece? Take a run at a real ace, and get an expiring contract relief stud. I'd much rather see Smeltzer and Winder in the bullpen than Smith and Pagan.
  20. cheeseheadgophfan
    Could Sands move to the. bullpen and have a similar increase in velocity as Jax? His slider/curveball could certainly be nasty coming out of the pen for an inning or two, but it sure would be nice to increase the velocity.......
  21. cheeseheadgophfan
    Mediocre fastball? I regularly seeing it hit 96-97......
  22. cheeseheadgophfan
    I can't help but laugh at the White Sox whining about the ump in the bottom of the ninth....they basically concede the game in the 8th by bringing in a position player....expect him to get a huge strike zone because he's not a pitcher and than complain about the strike zone in the 9th....definition of a dysfunctional team.
  23. cheeseheadgophfan
    I'm sure that's true, but what is he going to say??? "I'm really so unhappy here. This city sucks and I hate these guys in the clubhouse?" Not trying to be a dick...... He's obviously still got the stuff and he surely shoved it right up the Twin's behind during that start.
  24. cheeseheadgophfan
    If I'm Duran and a guy fakes being hit by a pitch (which Rosario did) I don't think I could contain myself from saying something similar to "Next at bat I'm gonna give you something to really shake your hand about......." Eerily similar to what my Mom used to say...."You want me to give you something to cry about?" LOL
  25. cheeseheadgophfan
    I get what you're saying, but I don't want human intrigue...... I want the same strike zone for Derek Jeter of the Yankees and Nicky Punto for the Twins. Know what I'm saying????
