    If it weren't for Marcus Semien, Polanco might be looking at a Silver Slugger.

    Two strikeouts, no homers, a 2:25 game time, and 8 pitches on the BP usage chart going into 13 more games in 12 days: Those all seem like numbers and events that either fans have been wanting more of or would be helpful to a team if the stretch wasn't in September of a lost season. A healthy Dobnak is the anti-TTO pitcher, and watching a defense work quickly is a welcome change of pace. I would also guess that the two managers involved in last night's game would be the only two that wouldn't have let him go back out for the eighth. Let's be realistic and understand that us Twins fans will be lucky if the ceiling on a pitching free agent is higher that 5+ ERA E-Rod. For 2022, put Dobnak in the five-hole and forget about it.

    Nice game at the hot corner for Luis

    Color it any way you want, but I'm still a Dobnak fan.

    I see a fresh bullpen at the beginning of a 13 day stretch of 14 games
  6. MMMordabito
    Nope, it's on the first baseman that doesn't understand his pitcher's game or fundamental baseball.

    This whole inning is on Sano.

    They may not be meaningful games, but at least the Twins will give us a reason to watch with Dobnak, Jax, Ober and Ryan taking a turn each week. I can't figure out what they are doing with the rotation, but it looks like it may be a six-man the rest of the way with Gant and Albers filling it out. Barnes probably gets that DH start against the Tribe. I'll be tuning in to watch Dobnak's return for sure. I hope he's on, because it's fun when he is.

    He also had to have a fingernail removed outside the injury. Not being able to make his slider slide and sinker sink was a recipe for disaster.

    "Names in this category include Corey Kluber, Charlie Morton, Alex Cobb, Andrew Heaney, and others." Other than the apparently ageless Morton (who I doubt will sign with the Twins), that looks like a group of names on that back side of 30 that Twins FO will consider #2/3 starters and try to sell as such to the fans. Kluber won't last through mid-May. Cobb and Heaney would be making about 10 times the salary to be no more effective than the internal options. Cobb probably wouldn't last the whole season either.

    Juan Minaya gets to add this award to his Gaylord Focker-style trophy room. Meanwhile, Ober's thinking "Juan, call me when you find the zone".

    I was impressed with Ryan in his first start. He battled to get through that 3rd inning where he lost his command. I honestly thought the homer pitch was competitive. It was high and tight inside just on or off the upper corner of the zone. I tip my hat to the batter for getting his barrel on it. All the damage Ryan gave up happened over a span of 6 PAs, and then he finished his outing the way he started it. He has more development ahead of him, and I wouldn't be surprised if he has one more stint at AAA sometime next season, but good first impression.
  13. MMMordabito
    All the damage came in a bunch. That's a good start from the rookie.
  14. MMMordabito
    Good adjustment, Joe.
  15. MMMordabito
    If Rocco pulls him for Gibault ....
  16. MMMordabito
    At least we don't have to wait as long to watch more Joe Ryan
  17. MMMordabito
    Brent Ballmagnet
  18. MMMordabito
    Well, if he works like this, he'll be fun to watch.
  19. MMMordabito
    Knowing the kind of free agents that the Twins will actually sign (not pipe dreams), my best guess at the 2022 opening rotation would look something like this: Johnny Cueto Eduardo Rodriguez Jose Quintana Bailey Ober Randy Dobnak World Series experience, cherry-picked stat windows and the super-magical abilities of Wes Johnson will be used as selling tools to the fans. By mid-May comments like "DFA Quintana now!" and "Why is Rodriguez still in the rotation? Call up [insert prospect with hot start]!" will litter TD. I'll probably be one of the ones making the comments. Rinse/Repeat.

    Hopefully, her name isn't Delilah.

    Three first round picks and a top money international signing is like picking the four #1 seeds to go to the final four in a March Madness pool. Edit: I guess I clicked it though.
  23. MMMordabito
    I'd like to see Jax moved to the pen where maybe his increased velocity and nice slider can play better without multiple looks. If he continues to give up the moon shots there, then he might just be a good story and not much more than AAAA. I was hopeful, but it's been a step forward and two back lately.
  24. MMMordabito
    Post 2017 Hindenberger would be a good start! I still would take Colome over him.
  25. MMMordabito
    It's more about that being a standup double for most other players.
