    I think Kazmir is awesome, but he is always a ticking time bomb, and one pitcher like him probably adds only 2 wins tops the rest of the year for them. The Twins, even as streaky as they have been, have been outplaying (winning) more than the Astros the past several weeks (month)

    Using tonight as a sample size I would say 480 is the more accurate number.
  3. DaveW
    Dozier hits far.
  4. DaveW
    I hate to say it, but maybe it would have been best if the Royals would have won? The Stro's are a wild card contender with us.

    Nice to see Rosario have a real nice game as well, seems like he was scuffling a bit lately, 3 doubles will certainly help turn things around.
  6. DaveW
    How many HR could one expect out of a 3-4-5 lineup next year of Sano, Dozier and Plouffe? 100?
  7. DaveW
    Nice bomb!

    That's why I said "if" it wasn't 5/6-0.
  9. DaveW
    That wasn't really a bad pitch as much as it was a "good pitch".
  10. DaveW
    If it wasn't a 5-0 game you bring in the LOOGY Rourke there I suppose?
  11. DaveW
    Hopefully that jump starts Hunter, for better or worse he is likely our starting RF the rest of the year and hitting high in the order. Can't help but think maybe the day off helped him?

    Duensing has been the hottest hand as of late, but its a 5 run lead, I could see Boyer or Graham coming out for the 8th. Or May, actually.
  13. DaveW
    I feel like the Twins try to bunt for hits way to much, they have to be under .200 overall on those sorts of at bats so far this year.

    I'm sure is FIP isn't sexy as hell, but Hughes has been on point the past few months it seems, getting some real nice results which is all that matters.
  15. DaveW
    I like leaving in Hughes here.

    This is a fun game to watch, especially when subjected to the annoying YES (Yankees) broadcast team.

    I still would prefer that the Twins first address the bp issue by bringing in a good ML proven shut down 8th inning arm. Papelbon, Clippard, K-Rod all would easily fit this bill, and if the price is to high, you have a really solid backup option in Benoit. Once that is established I am all for bringing up Duffey and Acter shortly there after to see if one can "stick" as the 7th inning guy. I think it would be dangerous for the Twins to not make a trade and solely rely on some of their minor league arms, impressive and as high ceiling as they may be, we have all seen the results this year with how rookies are very up and down, a guy like Benoit or Clippard etc in the 8th at least stabilizes your 6 most important outs in a game.

    I think Gibson was exposed the other day, he is a solid pitcher no doubt and will have a long and solid career, but he simply lacks the stuff to be a front of the rotation type, good teams and good hitters are too much for him. (Which is who you face in the playoffs anyways) I'd still trade any of Rosario berrios or Gibson for tulo though
  19. DaveW
    Told you
  20. DaveW
    The Twins got Gomez (top 50 rated prospect), Guerra (#35 rated prospect), Humber (#26 rated prospect) and Mulvey (not a highly rated prospect, but still a solid one at that) in return for Santana. Berrios+Polanco don't come anywhere close to that in current value.
  21. DaveW
    Not even close to true.
  22. DaveW
    Isn't it past your nap time?
  23. DaveW
    It's almost as if his previous franchise also didn't want to play him at SS, so at this point we have numerous professional baseball front office people who clearly think he can't handle playing SS along with the majority of fans, on the other side we have a small but vocal minority saying that Escobar is good defensively at SS. I wonder who is right?
  24. DaveW
    75% of the SS in my beer league wood bat league would have gotten that one. Any average major league SS would have gotten it no problem and made a good throw to beat him out by 4 steps.
  25. DaveW
    No he isn't.
