    Varland's start was overdue but happy it'll help the rotation. Thielbar should be DFAed, IMO he'd pass through. He might voluntarily go down. When was the last time Twins scored 17 runs?
  2. Doctor Gast
    I have faith in Pablo.
  3. Doctor Gast
    I think they got something to replace it. Don't know what. I think Jeffers liked that sausage.
  4. Doctor Gast
    What an offensive game! In a good way. Ist HR of the day. Everybody hits & a few multi-hit players

    "Goooolly" Andy

    All of MIA SPs have had arm problems but IMO Mel Stottlemeyer manages his pitchers pretty well. Deadline arms are pretty tricky. I wouldn't give up Lee for Garret. There'll be competition for Tanner Scott. I'd be interested in A. J. Pukk if the Twins are in the market for a LHRP. He didn't work out as a starter but has been pretty good back in the BP. They are definitely shopping Chisholm but IMO it is not worth pursuing. I'd love to pick up a Luzardo or even a Cabreras but I'm a little gun-shy.

    Rocco pulled SWR with less than 5 innings, without the chance he could win the game in his 1st outing. The idea was to have SWR leave on a high note & not to jeopardize that. IMO it's the same idea with Varland on his 1st outing back with the chance that he could get the win if we scored & the BP held. That didn't happen, if it had everybody would be happy. No one knows if Varland pitched the 6th & blew up. Now that'd be a disaster. At least we have a good outing from Varland & him flying high. I'd DFA Thielbar, nobody'd pick him up & he can work on his stuff in AAA. If he corrects what's wrong, great bring him back up. We can't afford him doing it up here

    Wouldn't it be wonderful if the Twins beat the NYY for the pennant or at least knock them out

    John Brebbia?

    I think all that plus the shoulder problem last season drained his strength & stamina. Because of that Kiriloff should have been limited to 1B/ DH for a good portion of the season & go on from there. But Santana screwed up all that. IMO Kiriloff has a sore arm that's not serious but affects his swing. It could be a minor mechanical problem, but I'd think he'd solve it by now. IDK what it is but management needs to know what it is & should have been dealt with a while ago. I'm sure Kiriloff is doing everything in his power to try to correct this problem.

    What do you think the point of spot start is if not giving the rotation a breather? If it's getting Varland 100 pitches in at SP no matter what, it'll be a long night.
  12. Doctor Gast
    This might be a BP game. Give the ball to Varland & say give it all you got & see how far you can go. Destiny is in your hands. If he goes 5 great, if less fine. Varland can be a good SP in the future or he can be a very good RP now. I'd take the very good RP for now & see what happens.

    Come to think of it, it's a musical isn't it? Not crazy about musicals but I might make an exception.
  14. Doctor Gast
    LOL! Very well put, I love it! Our answer is Joe Hardy. Lewis can be our Joe Hardy. From '65-'69 the Twins won series 13-5, 8-10, 12-6, 12-6, 10-2. Never saw the play, need to see the movie if there was one.
  15. Doctor Gast
    Keep Varland up as a spot starter/ long relief. Twins need him in this capacity to keep the rotation & BP fresh for more quality innings & injury-free throughout the rest of the season. It's long overdue
  16. Doctor Gast
    Also the fad is that the catcher creeps up & catches the ball earlier to steal strikes. This also causes more catcher interference & injury to catchers catching a bat across the forearms. Hurry up & bring in the ABS system.
  17. Doctor Gast
    I wouldn't wait for next year

    Looks like Farmer really got screwed up this spring training. His stance is much different, his stance was more open & upright before. It's a pity because he's a great guy & would be trade bait if his #s were better. But the way thing sits he's taking up roster spot of a deserving younger player. There was no doubt that Julien had to be sent down to AAA to join Wallner to straighten out their swing. So (LH) Julien isn't a threat to (RH) Farmer but (RH) Martin is. 2B is Martin's natural position & should be there instead of Farmer sorry to say. I like Farmer but unfortunately, FO needs to swallow the money & DFA him.
  19. Doctor Gast
    Keaschall is no doubt a good hitter but there's a glut at 2B with pseudo-SSs, and INFers that don't have a great glove, but a good bat. Any with a good glove along with a good bat will have preference. Like Spencer he's expendable. Priority should be Gonzales, who is still ranked high but will drop hard & fast. With the addition of Santana & Margot, it's really difficult to evaluate what we have in the superior in-house players. With inconsistency in the BP, rotation & lineup, it's too early to see if all 3 areas will gel or not, to find out whether we need a top-end SP or stand pat.
  20. Doctor Gast
    When you look at what they accomplished/ upside depending how much you favor one over the other is very close. IMO Emma, Lee & Jenkins are untouchable.
  21. Doctor Gast
    Paddack is still coming off his 2nd TJ, we can't be surprised when he comes up with a down performance after an extended outing.
  22. Doctor Gast
    I felt sorry for the Rockies losing basically their only bright spot, Elias Diaz. Paddack had a good game & it was good to see the offense come alive, looks like we have overcome the aftermath of the NYY series. Lewis is back! "Christian Vazquez did the bare minimum hitting a sacrifice fly to get Margot home and the Twins on the board for a 1-0 lead." Bare minimum, come on! Vazquez got the job done by not striking out & putting us on the boards, period! I don't like the response Vazquez is getting. We need Vazquez! We don't have this great defensive catcher waiting in the wings to take Jeffers's spot . We have plenty of talent at 1B, OF & even utility that we can easily drop unproductive veterans but at the demanding & key position of backup catcher, we have nobody! This last week or so Vazquez has been hitting 4-10, 1 HR, 2 2B, 2 BB, 0 SO, .400 BA .500 OBP, you can figure out the slugging & OPS besides being a top-notch defensive catcher. We are stuck with Vazquez+ we owe Vazquez a salary & he's vital to the success of this club. We need to be cheering for Vazquez, not lambast or minimize what he does.
  23. Doctor Gast
    Now wouldn't that be something? Royce hitting a grand slam!
  24. Doctor Gast
    I remember when we drafted Carlos Silva, I have high hopes that he becomes the above average defensive catcher that can hit & desperately need. He is still far away from filling that need if he ever does. But I'll be rooting & following him.
  25. Doctor Gast
    If they wanted to economize, maybe this would have been a good place to start by ditching it. As far as the City Connect uniforms go the idea behind it is nice.
