  1. Plouffe and Arcia both have problems w/ high fastball. BTW, where is the potent offense?
  2. The consensus is that we shouldn't get too excited by the so-far outstanding offensive numbers. I get that and agree. However, this may be one guy who has to play more than once a week to be the best he can be. Not everyone can adjust to the role he had with the Braves--pinch run, pinch hit and start maybe once a week. In Fuld's role, he would get consistent ABs and if he can OPS in the .700s (never has in the majors), he can be a real asset with his decent defense and basestealing speed. How would the Twins go about retaining him? I'm think that if he flattens out this last month, but still posts good numbers compared to what he has put up in previous years, that the Twins should non-tender him, but offer a minor league contract where he makes decent cake if he makes the team.
  3. Prediction: The Twins will hit that elusive 10,000th bomb at OPCY. Kind of a bandbox and even though they aren't hitting great, somebody will get ahold of one.
  4. Schafer has done well, no question. Has he rendered his 80 ABs for the Braves moot? He's arb eligible and almost 28. Maybe coming to the Twins is the do-over he needed.
  5. There are several regular posters here calling for his DFA. After his first AB, I felt inclined to join them. He brings something to the table, and he gets some XBHs. I think he's a good bench option.
  6. I didn't count on the Chen factor.
  7. I am sure that Yost will be criticized for using Chen, but you do have to use everybody. And I wouldn't rule out the Royals yet. Dozier doubles, now I do.
  8. Nice to have Mr. RBI on the bench.
  9. I do love Arcia's enthusiasm.
  10. Hey, nice move by Plouffe to keep Schafer in the game.
  11. OK. Here's the reverse jinx. Which Royal is the hero?
  12. My best scenario is Schafer stealing a couple bags and somehow scoring.
  13. I am trying to come up with one scenario where the Twins win this game. I got nothing.
  14. What was it, "save the Plim building"?
  15. Milone showed just a little bit more today, but with his stuff, he has to have better command.
  16. While I disagree with you, Milone has shown nothing to suggest that he's a quality starting pitcher.
  17. Dick still hasn't figured out Schafer's total of stolen bases. He has 25 total, 10 for the Twins.
  18. Really good play by their Escobar.
  19. The difference in the running game between the Twins and Royals includes who is behind the plate. Perez can make up for good jumps against Royals' pitchers, while Suzuki can't.
