    I don't recall seeing anyone wanting Milone off this roster.
  2. DaveW
    Don't be hurt Eddie!
  3. DaveW
    With Escobar nailing down the SS spot, only catcher remains as the one "must upgrade" spot for this lineup heading into 2016
  4. DaveW
    Need a sweep. 2 out of 3 at worst.
  5. DaveW
    solid band. I like your style.
  6. DaveW
    Hey Mr. You should name that dog ****head!
  7. DaveW
    Pelfrey should never pitch for this team again

    Fun fact about Houston: Their drinking water has literally been full of Dallas Poop. http://swamplot.com/yes-youve-been-sipping-what-dallas-has-been-flushing/2014-05-14/

    Houston's offense is very feast of famine, hopefully it's the latter tonight and Pelfrey can get 7 IP with 3 R or less. Ideally the Twins win by about 7 runs as well, so they can "save" May and Jepsen as much as possible.
  10. DaveW
    Fantastic analysys by the way!
  11. DaveW
    Also Rosario got a couple hits off a top LhP in the game. Looking more are more like an everyday important player. Jacque Jones he is not.
  12. DaveW
    Didn't catch the game as I was at the U.S. Open /lights fine cigar //drinks expensive brandy ///lights $100 bill on fire. But omg what a win! Following on the phone I thought they were in trouble after giving up the lead. Why would any team pitch to Sano up one run, in the 7th with Hunter on deck? To that point, they absolutely need someone other than hunter hitting behind sano. Ideally it would be dozier or Mauer(he is clutch this year)
  13. DaveW
    What day is the pub crawl?
  14. DaveW
    they don't "need" the sweep, but it would certainly be nice with the way they have mashed LHP all year
  15. DaveW
    Twins have mashed LHP all year. Need the sweep.

    What is the point of even having Berrios pitch even one inning tonight? If you are going to call him up tomorrow, why even risk it?
  17. DaveW
    Oh, I know, but every year there is at least one person who complains that a team didn't call up enough. My guesses would be: Pitchers: Acter Berrios one or maybe two of Tonkin+Darnell+Hamburger+Meyer Hitters: Pinto or Fryer (please be Pinto) Arcia Vargas Kepler Santana or Polanco (Though calling both up prob doesn't hurt anything)
  18. DaveW
    Also while they could call up all 40 it wouldn't make any sense, the costs alone (salary, transportation, per diem, hotel) wouldn't be worth calling up an extra 7 or 8 guys (instead of 7-8 called up) just to have them sit on a crowded bench.
  19. DaveW
    It depends, teams that are "out" of it will typically call up more, since there will be more playing time available on meaningless games more or less. Teams "in it" will call up less, since they want to run their best 9 and best 5 out nearly every game from here on out. The Twins likely will only need to add 2 or 3 pitchers tops (just as extra insurance, anything more than that is overkill) As far as the non pitching goes, the bench is already small, so I would guess 5 hitters come up. One extra catcher (Pinto) One UTIL/INF type: polanco or Santana (though I could see both coming up) And a couple hitters: Kepler, Vargas, Arcia Finding at bats for all of those guys will be tough though. Most likely looking at a PH appearance a couple times a week each or so.
  20. DaveW
    I don't see him getting called up, I get that you want more bench bats this time of year (especially for the Twins) but I think Vargas, Arcia, Pinto and Kepler will be those "guns" off the bench. NTM Hunter. I'd rather they use the open 40 man spots for pitchers who can help.
  21. DaveW
    Jason Wheeler and Aaron Thompson could both easily be removed from the 40 man roster. Tonkin is another guy who the Twins could afford to lose. instead of wasting a roster spot and 40 man spot on Fryer, for 3rd catcher, why not just call up Pinto to serve as the emergency catcher, he at least has enough of a hit tool where he could be an asset as a PH, no? I know his defense isn't to the Twins liking, but as 3rd catcher it wouldn't be a whole lot of innings anyways. That allows Berrios and someone like Hamburger to take the easily opened 40 man roster spots.
  22. DaveW
    Didn't see or follow any of the game, but 3-0 with sano out? Color me impressed! Keep up the good work.
  23. DaveW
    By my count the Twins are 10 games over .500 vs teams not named the Yankees or Brewers. They play zero games down the stretch against those teams, by my fuzzy math they should be fine
  24. DaveW
    Berrios should be called up by Sunday.
  25. DaveW
    Meyer still has hope, but he shouldn't be counted on to being an asset for 2016, Milone, Duffey, Berrios, and May all should be IMO
