  1. Neither one of those guys is hitting much right now. I prefer Castro to the Turtle as the second catcher. It would be nice if some of the guys who are scuffling (Cron, Castro and to some extent Cruz and Cave) picked it up in the last 10 days. Combine that with getting Adrianza, Cron and Kepler healthy and the Twins have a very nice offense.
  2. It's been a while, but in labor-management disciplinary situations that I have been involved in, a procedural error would invalidate everything. Secondly, if there were a procedural error, wouldn't MLB say that the suspension was reduced for that reason?
  3. In today's game, 100 mph doesn't make anyone unhittable. There are far too many guys that hit 98+ on a regular basis. I'm still not sure that Gratoral should be on the prospective postseason roster.
  4. Yes, it is a loss and keeps the magic number at 7. The Twins struck out only 5 times in the game and drew 5 walks. Chicago struck out 14 times and drew one walk. From those stats, who do you think wins the game? Chicago's BABIP was 9-20, while the Twins were 3-24. One of those games.
  5. Detroit is 1-17 versus Cleveland.
  6. Too bad they lost. Didn't seem to be the Twins' night.
  7. Don't make the third out at third!
  8. I'd like to see Romero have a good inning.
  9. Wade hasn't put up notable stats in the minors, but he does have a good eye and appears to be a smart and sound player. It seems Bremer thinks he is pretty special. I just don't think he'll hit enough to be a substantial player.
  10. Cleveland is going to the bottom of the ninth tied with Detroit. ESPN says Cleveland's winning percentage should be 63.5%. I'd put the chance at much closer to 90%.
  11. I guess I'll be satisfied with six innings from Odorizzi. Worried about this inning.
  12. How about putting together an inning, fellas?
  13. I was afraid Palka would connect, despite his terrible stats for the Sox.
  14. Time to get some hits and runs!
  15. Joe Mauer was in the majors at 21 and as a 22-year old hit .294 for the Twins.
  16. Arraez complements this team quite well. There is ample power, but putting guys on base before the extra base hits has to be a high priority. He has great strike-zone disciple combined with great contact skills. Arraez should continue to get on base a lot. For him to be a repeating All-Star, he would have to develop some power or continue to be a top 10 percentage hitter. Luis doesn't have great speed, which would be a helpful trait on this version of the Twins. I've seen his defense as acceptable and would add that he seems to make the proper plays and limits mental mistakes.
  17. I think Diaz sends Marwin if there are two outs, not so much with one.
  18. Big holes in the infield when they are pulled in.
  19. Here we are again, first and second none out.
