    Their last names end in "z".

    Have a safe trip Gibby. The game threads (after tonight) won't be the same without you.
  3. stringer bell
    Hamilton on base. Here we go.
  4. stringer bell
    Santana done after 99 pitches. Eight scoreless with 5 Ks, no walks. Next stop, KC.
  5. stringer bell
    Fly ball Phil is in fine form.
  6. stringer bell
    Ah NL Ball. The one-out bunt by the pitcher.
  7. stringer bell
    All on Santana with the pitcher on deck.
  8. stringer bell
    Ervin with seven good innings, 3 hits no walks, 5 Ks. Milone-like.

    I've hardly seen him pitch live, but Meyer isn't getting his butt kicked as much as he is kicking his own posterior. If you walk that many guys and fall behind so many hitters, you don't have much of a chance. Get in the zone and stay in the zone Alex and you will be successful.
  10. stringer bell
    Lineups available at mlb.com. Sugar Shane in left for Flyball Phil.

    What was it that Chi-Town used to say? "Bleep it, I'm going to Target."?
  12. stringer bell
    Tommy Milone says "I'm in!".
  13. stringer bell
    Two more hits and he's gone. The last ones were hit well and in good spots. Oh well, a 4ish ERA is a lot more sustainable than that gaudy 2.29 he was sporting a while ago.
  14. stringer bell
    I'd feel worse about Pelfry's outing, if more balls were hard hit. Now he gives up a rope to Bruce and another blooper. Control seems to be the issue. Three walks and pitching from behind are the problem.
  15. stringer bell
    I didn't get to predict it, but I will now. Someone on the Twins will hit his first home run of the season in this series.
  16. stringer bell
    Today.

    The starters are good and pitching deeper into games than previous seasons, and yet they are carrying an eight-man bullpen. They have two or three guys who aren't good, reducing by one shouldn't be that big of a deal. yes, there were hiccups along the way, but they should get down to a 12-man staff sometime soon.
  18. stringer bell
    A pitcher, please! Actually, they could send Santana or Vargas down, as well. Vargas had the one good game, but overall he's struggling. DanSan hasn't captured the magic of 2014 yet.
  19. stringer bell
    I actually hope Pelf is hitting .400 by the end of the game. That would mean he pitched deep into the game and the Twins didn't need to pinch hit for him late in the game.
  20. stringer bell
    I was kind of expecting the return of Aaron Hicks, with Buxton on the shelf. Sugar Shane and Esco don't hit enough to be playing a corner, but one does with what they have. Good luck to Pelfrey tonight. Let's hope he keeps the ball on the ground in Cincy because that place is a bandbox.

    Boyer's been pretty good so far this year. They have signed the likes of Jared Burton and done well by him. The thing is that they can't be relied on, especially given the weak peripherals. Reinforcements are needed. BTW, BBRef gives Escobar positive ratings in left field defense. I think he's been a bit shaky, but he runs pretty well and has a good arm. He hasn't been a disaster in the outfield. I guess my concern is that he isn't a good enough hitter to be manning a corner position on a regular basis.

    I'd say that Milone's numbers are better than "borderline 5th starter". He's a lifetime 99 ERA+ pitcher (better than Hughes, Santana, or Nolasco for that matter) and this year's numbers are the best on the team, although only 53.2 innings. He was terrible last year in five late starts, but his BB% is back to normal, and he continues to sit at about 6 Ks per game. He's allowed less than a hit per inning pitched. Milone doesn't throw hard, but he isn't Jamey Moyer either. He is only 28 years old and under team control for several more years. Since there aren't any other lefties in the rotation, I think his leftiness is an advantage as well.
  23. stringer bell
    I would agree that as of today May is the odd one out. May also has an option remaining, but I think it would better serve the team for him to go to the bullpen for now. I think he could be effective there and the club needs bullpen help. Milone's numbers since his recall have been outstanding. May's are good. I really doubt Milone could help in the bullpen and May could be a real force there. Tough call, but I go with Milone to stay and May to the 'pen.
  24. stringer bell
    I was going to "like" this post. I don't like it, but agree with it word-for-word. May does have one more chance, and he'll need to be more than effective. Also, if he is demoted, will he go to the bullpen or the minors?

    40 wins means that the Twins will exit the troublesome month of June with a winning record for the season (and a little cushion). One more to clinch a winning statistical first half.
