  1. At least Big Mike is raising his deadline return
  2. Pineda has got to lead the league in solo homers surrendered.
  3. Strike 'em out/Throw 'em out .... Good start!
  4. It takes no poets To change the goddamn light bulbs And here's the reason The sun is used to Write by day, and candlelight works For writing at night
  5. If Diaperface wasn't the manager, Berrios might get the 6th.
  6. Just FYI ... The weighted winning percentage of the Twins opponents over the next 50 games is .472, so the schedule can't be blamed for failure.
  7. If the Twins go 20-30 in the next 50, that should be Berrios/Buxton selling territory. 40-10 should be Duran/Balazovic/Canterino dangling territory.
  8. At this point, there is no reason to take Dobnak out of the rotation the rest of the season, unless he gets injured. I can almost guarantee he will get blown up a couple times when the BABIP gods frown upon him for the day, but who cares? I'll go out on a limb and predict that the Twins will win 4 of their next 7. That would put them at .407 through the first third of the season. That's reality. Dobnak should get the chance to pitch every fifth day, and if he has some bad outings, he should be given the chance to adjust. Like Jimbo stated above, he looks like a guy that can pitch his stuff and not hurt himself doing it. Give him 20-22 more starts this season and then evaluate the body of work. He's also way more fun to watch than guys like Happ anyway.
  9. "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" seems like an appropriate theme for this team.
  10. Blayne Enlow - A+ Charlie Barnes - AAA Bryan Sammons - AA Calvin Faucher - AA Bailey Ober - AAA Derek Molina - A+ Those are the pitchers left from the 2017 draft (Falvine's first). Running out of time and horses for that Bieber/Civale/Plesac emergence from that group. Twins have four innings from Ober so far. Meanwhile, Cleveland has just a many pitchers left from that year. Karinchak has already arrived despite the Garlick homer. Kyle Nelson just got called up as well.
  11. Nice to see a hiccup in the Cleveland pitcher development program ... Of course, the rookie that came in looked pretty good, so it probably won't be a trend.
  12. The Twins almost have to keep Tortuga around just offset the stoic Kirilloff and Larnach.
  13. I thought Obtani was supposed to be good.
  14. Terrible two strike approach with a guy on second, Josh.
  15. Great take, Ted. I think the one and done guys should all be moved for what can be had. Pineda might be the exception there. The club should listen to offers for Berrios, Rogers or Buxton, but they should walk away if they aren't blown away. Donaldson, Polanco, Sano, Garver, Kepler and Maeda are going to be here in 2022, and the calls to trade and eat or even DFA those players are just absurd. Is Kepler making too much to be a 4th OF? Probably, but Larnach and Kirilloff will be making pre-arb coin. It's fine. Perhaps that will light a fire under Kep. This is a retool, restock and audition for the a quick rise back to the top situation.
  16. No kidding. After reading some articles, I had Kepler penciled in for Yelich MVP-years numbers, Maeda competing for a Cy and Garver/Jeffers as the most enviable catching tandem in MLB.
