  1. In the game thread, a poster reports that Pinto said he's coming back. Injury? Finally getting back to 12 pitchers? Unsubstantiated rumor?
  2. Good job, team and TD. I'm going golfing!
  3. Worrisome that Perkins is unavailable today. He had a day off on Thursday and the velocity was fine yesterday.
  4. I'm for Eddy staying in the lineup, with one of the shortstops sitting down.
  5. Reyes' right handed swings look like some of my golf swings. Pretty ugly.
  6. Sorry, too late to edit that. Chalk it up to old age or multitasking.
  7. Patience, Grasshoppers! I seriously don't like anything about Stauffer that I've seen since he's joined the Twins, but he is a guy with a decent track record and his work to this point is too small a sample. I don't doubt that he will continue to be bad, but he's only worked 10 innings. Give him another 10 and see where he's at.
  8. Gibson wades through the heart of the Twins' order on ten pitches, a chance to go 6 anyway. He hasn't been sharp, but he has gotten by with a little help from his friends.
  9. Two walks and two doubles. Didn't maximize there.
  10. Least likely guy to GDP does just that.
  11. Gibson laboring. Jays still scoreless.
  12. Now four ground balls, four outs. Gotta love those GDPs.
  13. It looks like CC has a spot on the Jays for the short term. Joey Bats must be about ready to go to the outfield, and then Colabello could DH. Good for him.
  14. Waiting for Mauer to hit .400 for about a month. Hope it starts soon.
  15. 363 to right-center. Needed to hit it about 5 feet further.
  16. Most of the time, ground balls don't go over the fence. Keep it up, Kyle!
  17. In Gibby (Kyle) I trust. TD's Gibby however is more entertaining.
  18. Regression for everyone but Colabello.
  19. How about a Mauer walk-off in the ninth?
  20. Well, well, well. We're done scoring, so.
  21. Great opening, it might be my favourite! I hope they get the game in tonight, it looks pretty threatening here, about an hour and a half south of TF.
  22. I don't think the Twins should give up on Arcia or Vargas or Pinto yet. However, not all of these guys can be in the majors at the same time (IMHO), given the structure of the roster. I tend to be a bit more negative about Arcia because his flaws are so apparent, but that upside is worth waiting for. The other thing is that the player has to be willing to adjust and until I see Arcia hitting more line drives and doing better against lefties, I will be skeptical. I like that Rosario offers value even if he isn't hitting much. He plays a really good corner OF with a good arm and he can steal a base. I hope he can learn to stay in the strike zone more. I think he can be a .300 hitter with double digit HRs. I remain mystified that so many think Polanco is ready to become a major league regular SS. He's hit well in Chattanooga, but he has played the last two years, while super-prospects Buxton and Sano didn't get out on the field much, if at all last year. If the Twins actually do contend, the shortstop won't be Polanco (of course that's my opinion!).
