    Reasons aren't excuses. If he couldn't execute pitches due to the finger ailment, then he shouldn't have been out there. Fire Rocco.

    Jax can safely go back to protecting the skies.

    Between grad parties and my daughter's Sweet 16, I didn't have time to watch this one. They won. Maybe I should be so narcissistic to just stop watching and assume that the winning will continue.

    Celestino had a PA taken away by a stupid umpire, had a nice line drive snared on a good play by the O's 2B-man and had another PA stolen by his manager who needed a pinch-strikeout as part of his spreadsheet driven game-plan. If anyone ever deserved a mulligan ....

    I think the 20-30 from Brock's poll is going to be a real challenge. May have needed another choice. The Twins Kids Club should have a Fire Sale Sign Design event with T.C.

    I see it's that point in the season where the rose-colored glasses and glass-is-half-full-at-a-quarter-volume mindset is overtaking the obvious ineptitude in this picture of a season. Matt Shoemaker may have pitched well for three innings, but his job is to pitch well for at least the five to six innings that today's game has reduced expectations down to for a starting picture. If five ground balls are hit at Andrelton Simmons tomorrow and he makes errors on two of them and then doesn't even get to a sixth that is well within his range, would that rate some praise on his defensive game too? "Shoemaker's 4.1 inning, five run, losing effort was trash" = REALITY

    Any detail on the Enlow injury? I hope it's minor.

    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.

    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.
  10. MMMordabito
    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.
  11. MMMordabito
    The Twins almost have to keep Tortuga around just offset the stoic Kirilloff and Larnach.
  12. MMMordabito
    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.
  13. MMMordabito
    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.
  14. MMMordabito
    Any word on Colina's rehab status? Will he be able to pitch this year? He and Cano seem like August/September options for the pen for those of us resigned to the fact that there won't be meaningful games in September and a fire sale should happen in late July.
  15. MMMordabito
    I don't think Chicago's lineup today was the game's best. Insert Abreu, Grandal and Robert, and you might be on to something.
  16. MMMordabito
  17. MMMordabito
    Pineda, Colome, Cruz, Simmons, Happ and Robles. There's your six spots.
  18. MMMordabito
    Four of the top six prospect are injured. Too bad this season isn't just a bad dream.
  19. MMMordabito
    Like the xBA on Sano's homer, we can type our fingers off posting about shoulda/coulda/woulda.
  20. MMMordabito
    Tigers won. Twins are still the worst team in MLB.
  21. MMMordabito
    No point in opening more capacity. Nobody is going to go to watch these losers.
  22. MMMordabito
    I agree with the meat of this suggestion, but I think it's far too aggressive for the Twins. I don't understand why you would DFA Cruz or Simmons on June 1, when they will likely command at least some value at the end of July. Trying to move them in between those dates is fine, but doing something so aggressive just to get Nick Gordon another 100 PAs probably isn't worth it. Donaldson's contract is too big to move, IMO. DFA'ing Donaldson just isn't going to happen. I think he and Maeda are the two vets that are going to stick around.
  23. MMMordabito
    Stick a fork in 'em
  24. MMMordabito
    This game showed how bad the Tigers are more than offering any hope for the Twins. Baddoo looked silly out there celebrating his first hit in 20 ABs. Were they really trying to get the ball when Miggy broke his 0-27? Pathetic. Robles is walking almost 6 per 9 innings and has an unsustainably low (both league average and personally) BABIP of .121. The breakdown is coming.
  25. MMMordabito
    29th place team ... Standings don't lie
