    Time for Plouffe to do something.
  2. stringer bell
    Uh oh.
  3. stringer bell
    Tito has a lot of bullpen moves to make. If Shaw walks Dozier, he'll probably go with a left vs. Vargas.
  4. stringer bell
    Don't agree with that take. No guarantee that Rosario would stay on the team anyway.
  5. stringer bell
    Infielder in the outfield makes a fine play.
  6. stringer bell
    I'd say Pinto, Rosario, and then Hicks.
  7. stringer bell
    Cleveland needs help against LH pitching. I know, I know, no Gomes.
  8. stringer bell
    RBI machine Mauer will plate the lead run. Or not.
  9. stringer bell
    To rip off Letterman--Aaron Thompson, is this something?
  10. stringer bell
    Neither team looks dangerous at the plate. Until Stauffer served up that gopher.
  11. stringer bell
    You just knew Kluber was eventually going to fan Vargas.
  12. stringer bell
    Sorry for your loss Brian. Remember the good times.
  13. stringer bell
    So why displace the young player who has defensive problems in the outfield and send him across the field for one year?

    A victory and the Twins will be in third place! Very interesting that Arcia gets moved to right when Hunter is out of the lineup and apprentice OF Escobar replaces him. It tells me that when Hunter's time is up as a Twin, the new right fielder for the Twins will be Oswaldo Arcia.

    Didn't see much of the game, but it looks like Milone battled all the way with less than his best stuff. His worst inning was the first, as it was with his first start against the Pale Hose. The sum of two starts is two wins, 13 innings. I'll take that for Sam Fuld.

    I think there are plenty of at-bats for Pinto, Vargas and Arcia if Pinto is recalled. If Pinto is up, it should be for Herrmann or Nuñez. My vote still goes to Herrmann. Nuñez is out of options and if he were DFAed and claimed, who is the utility infielder in the event of one injury? Bernier, Beresford? They do less than nothing for me. IMHO, Nuñez is far superior to them. In the outfield, if an injury or demotion were to occur, the Twins have Rosario and Hicks on the 40-man at AAA. They have a guy in Daniel Ortiz who is a better player with much more upside than Beresford and Bernier. BTW, Pinto was 2-2 today, with three walks. He's 10-24 with 6 walks and 3 Ks. I think he hits enough to make up for his supposed deficiencies as a catcher.

    Here we go again!

    Comments on the lineup: Fourth LH starter in eight games! Weird. Arcia rewarded for his HR with a seat on the bench, Esco in left--I believe this is the fourth game he has started--two in left, one at third, and one at short. The Hunter/Dozier flip-flop continues.

    I haven't seen his name on the Adopt a Prospect list, so I am adding Tyler Duffy. He is 24 years old, right handed and a starting pitcher for Chattanooga this spring. Duffy is listed at 6'3" and 220 pounds. He has progressed through the system, playing at three levels last year including three starts with Rochester in Triple A. Duffy is off to a tremendous start with the Lookouts, having started two games, worked 13.2 innings, allowing six hits, with two walks and 18 strikeouts. I never noticed Duffy this spring while observing spring training and I have no idea what pitches he features. If he continues his fine work on the mound, he should see Rochester soon and perhaps get a shot with the Twins sometime this year.

    When you don't catch a few balls you should, the easy answer is "swing the bat".
  21. stringer bell
    Two good at bats for Dozier.
  22. stringer bell
    I suspect it will take a really good outing from Gibson to get a win today.
  23. stringer bell
    Morales got signed in midseason and was pretty rusty. Would have been nice to have Morales in midseason form instead of starting his spring training.
  24. stringer bell
    Nice to see Joe pull the ball.
  25. stringer bell
    Regarding the guys in AAA, Pinto had four hits today and now is hitting .364, while Hicks was 0-6 and is now hitting .222. Pinto has shown that he can hit AAA pitching, so unless his defense or his health are an issue, bring him up! IMHO, Hicks hasn't mastered Triple A and the splits remain troubling. If the Twins want a better-fielding Bombo Rivera or Pedro Muñoz, they can call him up and platoon him. I hope he "gets it" against right handed pitching or his value will diminish to platoon/fourth OF. BTW, if an outfielder goes, it wouldn't surprise me if it were Schafer ahead of Robinson. Robinson is what he his--this year's version of Jason Repko--fine fielder at all three spots, limited hitter. I haven't seen all the games, but it is my understanding that Schafer has been pretty bad in center.
