    Sorry 4 spot
  2. wavedog
    Looks like Belisle is good for an automatic 3 spot each inning
  3. wavedog
    Are we trying to lose on purpose?
  4. wavedog
    All these lefties and Zach Duke not available?
  5. wavedog
    I thought he should have been thrown out but clearly safe
  6. wavedog
    Good defensive play by Belisle
  7. wavedog
    I thought he was already gone

    What did I miss - Belisle pitching - time to get another drink

    Good pick up by Wilson

    What’s the Motter - that’s the Motter.

    Another out on the bases - ugh
  13. wavedog
    I don’t often recommend a bunt but when I do it’s when .138 Wilson is batting

    I don’t get to see too many Twins games but it is too painful to watch this offensive futility. I would like to know what the front office is thinking. This is not entertainment.

    Just a general observation that has probably been made in other posts and not just specific to this game because this was a blowout - but we have 13 pitchers and 12 hitters. So when Escobar goes down - that leaves 2 other bench bats available - one being the backup catcher and the other an injured Rosario. Starters go 5-6 innings and then on average we are using 3-4 relievers per game this year- and our starting pitching has been decent but yet some relievers overused. What if instead of Belisle on the roster we had an extra bat - Carter, Vargas, Wade or Granite and then Magill and/or other releivers could pitch more than an inning. Is there an analytical study that shows it is better to have an extra pitcher than an extra bat? Or othe arm recovers more quickly by using use a reliever for one inning to limit pitches. I just wonder what is driving our relief usage - analytics or Molitor/Coaching preferences or the skill set of our relievers. Our hitting is so futile it just seems it would be more beneficial to have another bat.

    No problem getting runners home from third and less than 2 outs when we are down by 8 and 9 runs I see.
  17. wavedog
    Comeback anyone?

    I was more for Sano figuring things out at the majors and then my second thought is that about half the hitters could be sent to the minors to work on things. However upon reflection, I think this actually shows they still believe in him and think its best he does a reset, build back his swing and confidence. Best outcome is he spends several weeks done there and comes back after the All-Star break. Boy this season is sure turning out to be pretty depressing. We haven't seen Santana pitch yet, Polanco suspended, Buxton and Mauer missing big stretches of time, Castro out, multiple hitters struggling. At least we have Rosario and Escobar and some positive starting pitching.

    Boy is this offense tough to watch, or in this case follow on Game Day - probably better not to be watching.

    I look at it as its better to have Molitor abuse a veteran arm - Belisle was pretty good in the closer role last year - although not sure what Busenitz has to do to get get a call-up.

    We certainly do have some prospects performing well but the record for the year is significantly worse than last year and I don't think that is from promotions to the big league team. We just came off of an awful and almost unbelievable 4-23 week which didn't help. We did have some significant turnover in the coaching staffs didn't we? Perhaps that is impacting overall performance. In the end if our prospects are developing, the win/loss is not important but no one likes to see a 4-23 week.

    Surprised Duffy is being sent down he has pitched well recently. I would rather have seen Pressly get a little DL break - possibly Reed as well. They have been used so much I think they need a rest break. Seems like when they have been brought in recently they each surrendered runs. Other option is bat Pressly at leadoff in the lineup and pinch-hit for him first at-bat so Molly can't use him for a couple of games.

    Jose going old school and pitching a complete game - great job and nice to see for a change!
  24. wavedog
    Back to back nice!! and based on the stats posted today even better news is Pressly can't be brought in to hold the lead.

    Happy for Gibson and the consistency he has shown so far this season - as mentioned here he has been up and down in the past. Hopefully for all of us this continues and gives us some good choices to make after this season.
