    You forgot Audra Martin's double entendre tweet.

    Congrats, Twins! What a season! Keep it going!

    I hope we can see more Alcala this week starting with situations unlike his debut and then maybe ending with situations like his debut. They basically called the fire department, turned on the hydrant and said "DRINK". He could easily slide from 10 to 6 in a week, given the right circumstances. That still doesn't put him on the roster. Now, if that baptism by fire has fortified his psyche, he does have an outside chance of getting results from his obvious stuff. Maybe that would make the decision more difficult. It's a good problem to have. It wasn't even necessary to have Stewart and Hildenberger on this list. They should have zero chance, even if there are 8 injuries in front of them. I would bet on and select Jake Reed or Alex Schick before giving either of those two a playoff call.

    Right now Morris is #1. Cruz still has a a post-season in hand though. It's going to be a tall order to surpass Morris, but it would be amazing to see him do it.
  5. MMMordabito
    How about that Trevor Hildenberger? He's really bringing it and earning that 40-man spot.

    Too bad I recently adopted a dog. If I was still looking, I'd be looking for a bulldog mix and naming it Dobnak. I understand it was the Royals, but he just keeps coming out and performing. I'd say he's the current favorite for the 2020 5th spot. I also wouldn't be surprised if he earns the 4th spot. Hope he's a Twin for a long time.

    It would help if a playoff destined team could come closer to selling out a stadium this close to the end of the season. 14K empty seats doesn't help the energy. It was $1 dog night. Of course, $9-12 beers and $6 average tasting kiddie cones doesn't help. St. Peter has the wrong formula. Even he thinks his prices are ridiculous. Also, the S-show that is the LRT after a game is over doesn't help either. I use it regularly and know what to expect, but I also overheard a couple decent sized groups of people saying stuff like "this was a bad idea" or "we're never doing this again". I see lots of "Out of Service" trains running the tracks and jamming up the flow during this time. You would think the Twins and Metro Transit would be able to come up with a better plan on game days. The lines have been running for years. They should have the data to improve it.
  8. MMMordabito
    Yep, draw it up ... Odorizzi for 5.2, Stashak 1.1, Graterol 1.0, Alcala 1.0 .... Hit 5 bombas and sweep the Sox out of town!

    Looks like Jeremy is the only one who let the bong pass at least every other time around In all seriousness, Arraez is a player that appears to have one tool that is off-the-charts good (two if you count plate discipline/ zone control as a separate tool) and then four tools that are currently average at best and probably below average. Those tools can, of course, improve over time (maybe not raw speed) and should be given that opportunity based on the playability of the other-worldly tool(s). If you are rating prospects, it's pretty difficult to move a guy like that way up when he doesn't have prospect shine and as much data/film to work with. I think Thrylos maybe had him ranked the highest, but he tends to be willing to gamble a bit more with ratings against the grain. He nailed this one, but he's missed a few of those too.

    I don't understand why Rocco doesn't have him batting leadoff every game. He takes the best at-bats on the team. He gets on. He takes pitches allowing others to see pitches. Starting every game with a 42% chance of immediately putting the opposing pitcher into the stretch seems like a good idea to me. I'd like to watch that for the next ten years or so. I'm a fan. #29, my ass
  11. MMMordabito
    I like the LRLR pattern and OBP, so ... Arraez Cruz Polanco Garver Kepler Sano Cave Gonzalez Rosario I fear that Eddie wouldn't like this
  12. MMMordabito
    I knew there would be at least one reason that I should have bought a named jersey. Can I draw a picture of a name and pin it to the back of my jersey like that young Vols fan? Hmmm ... Motter or Heston
  13. MMMordabito
    I'll take that card falling to the Twins as well. Giolito is going to be a thorn for many seasons, so a break with so many of our own ailing is fine with me. The only problem is that Giolito is the type of hurler they will see in the playoffs. It will be quite the jump from Detwiler, Covey, Sparkman, et al. to Verlander and Cole.
  14. MMMordabito
    Arraez got to 100 hits in a blink. I can't remember the last Twin to do it so quickly.
  15. MMMordabito
    Unless Gibson has a miraculous recovery in the next couple days, I say Dobnak with Smeltzer at the ready.
  16. MMMordabito
    Yep, and it left Clevinger feeling like the movie he always seems to be auditioning for - "Dazed and Confused". Twins Underground Marketing should have a bunch of inflatable "FAH Q" paddles ready to handout at his next TF start. That would be awesome!
  17. MMMordabito
    Jose Abreu = Chopped Liver?
  18. MMMordabito
    At least we're learning good things about Randy Dobnak and Brusdar Graterol. If the season ended today (won't need an 'if' for too long), my playoff rotation is Berrios, Odorizzi, Dobnak, Perez. Smeltzer is the long guy. Rogers, Duffey, Romo, May, Littell and Graterol are in the bullpen. That leaves one bullpen spot up for grabs. Will Dyson get healthy? Is Gibby an option?(experiment #1 = fail) Could the Twins be so fortunate as to have a double K-Rod late addition scenario with Alcala joining Graterol? I guess we have two weeks to find out.
  19. MMMordabito
    Kepler gets my vote.
  20. MMMordabito
    Kick him to the curb. He screwed the team over at the worst possible time. He'll be screwing the team over again by not participating for a quarter of the season and the playoffs. Bad content. Why is it front page?
  21. MMMordabito
    Michael Pineda screwed this team over big time. I appreciate that Gibson came back and took one for the team, but his delivery is all messed up. I hope the best for him, and I hope he can get effective treatment. He should be shut down. The Twins really need Odorizzi and Berrios to deliver all-star performances this weekend, because starting pitching looks like it will be a patch job the rest of the way. You almost have to offer Odorizzi the QO. I don't care if the Twins have a strong negotiation case with Pineda. I don't want him on the team. Gibson should walk as well. It's a tough business, but his health issues are very concerning. Stewart/Hildenberger = Two no-brainer 40-man openings
  22. MMMordabito
    Yes to this ^ I still can't believe the best immediate depth option was Ryan LaMarre. De Aza's AAAA numbers look better. I know his leftiness is redundant with Miller, but I'm looking for a professional PA. Miller is only here to run and catch. Don't need to platoon split that.
  23. MMMordabito
    I think that is the perfect summation. He got BABIP'd by Soto and Zimmerman early with Polanco just out of range on Soto's grounder, but he walked Rendon to setup the second run. Eddie took a bad route and the crosswind helped make him pay for that inside-out Kendrick liner, but Perez lost his focus and served up a pipeshot to Zimmerman.
  24. MMMordabito
    Too bad there isn't draft pick compensation for losing coaching and management personnel
  25. MMMordabito
    That sucks. Cave and Kepler still unavailable too. Run for cover, I guess. Looks like a getaway lineup for game one of the Nats series.
