    This. Or that.

    That would be a desperation move None of Duarte's MLB organizations have given him a start, even in the minors, since he was 19 years old.

    This article is revisionist history. The Twins intended for DeSclafini to compete for the rotation, and expected him to be healthy. Mind-reading is not my forte, but when a well-connected beat reporter (Do-Hyoung Park) states that "[t]he Twins believe DeSclafani is healthy, and he could perhaps push Louie Varland out of the starting rotation," I'm inclined to take him at his word as to what insiders told him. https://www.mlb.com/twins/news/twins-trade-jorge-polanco-to-mariners-in-5-player-deal The Twins believed he was healthy. It didn't prove to be so. That doesn't change the thinking at the time, which this article tries to portray.

    MAT comes to mind for sure. I don't have an opinion on Margot as yet. We got spoiled last year with Taylor as backup, on the defensive side anyway. It's not just range, not even the routes, it's the surehandedness to close the deal on a challenging fly ball like that one. Martin tracked it okay but couldn't close the deal; maybe it's just a matter of more experience, particularly at the wall, but that attempt marked him for me as Not Ready If Ever.

    This one is in the running for worst game of the season so far.

    Burn the device while you are at it, just to make doubly safe.

    Uffda. This one is in the running for worst game of the season so far.

    Welp, like others, I'm off to do more compelling things than watch this travesty. We got a foot of snow last night and I'm now out of excuses for not dealing with it.

    It's unfair and the umpire really needs to step in and correct the obvious cheating. KC put a major league pitcher on the mound. Ringer.

    Welcome, and good first post. Hopefulness is always gladly received by every poster here. 😀 Pitching could be good. We have some good starters. There are hopes that the front office has assembled a reasonably strong bullpen. Some are, ahem, more skeptical than others.

    Who replaces Ober in your rotation? It's going to take a while before his ERA descends below 4. 😀

    I think I'd rather still have Berrios in the game today than Martin, TYVM.
  13. ashbury
    Skill and poise. Both notable by their absence today.

    Funderburk, WTF.
  16. ashbury
    Yes and no. An offense can't bury the team for an entire game in just the first two innings. Ober did.
  17. ashbury
    Dis-concur. If you have a BP pitcher throwing useless offspeed pitches, miles from the plate, you get another BP pitcher.
  18. ashbury
    Clearly the game is out of reach unless the bats really come alive and nothing else bad happens while KC is up. So Rocco is trying to preserve the pen, and asked Ober to do the reliever's job and just get through some more innings. And in response, yes, Ober relieved himself on the mound, all right.

    Pete Maki's got a project to work on in the coming week.

    Perez can't score from first, against that arm? The old man is SLOW.
  21. ashbury
    Held Perez to a single. Progress.
  22. ashbury
    Oof. Difficult play in CF there. But ultimately, catchable.
  23. ashbury
    Please review your actions during the bidding and figure out what kind of jinx you placed on the man. Just tuned in, so nothing in the first inning colors my view, but Ober's got zero today.
  24. ashbury
    Is a preist one who believes in Preism?

    Came in late to the game, caught up on the box score, and was looking to you for this update.
