    DickNBert said that he wanted "Rosario at CF because Adrianza was new at LF". Laughable
  2. Thrylos
    One more loss and a Cleveland win and they will not be in first place...
  3. Thrylos
    They can fix the MRP by having Kintzler there I hope that Chargois will be the closer by year's end and that Rogers keeps it up. That said, I'd love to see what it will take to get someone like Brad Hand from the Padres and Yusmeiro Petit from the Angels. Not proven closers, but major improvement over Buddy Bo and Spinning head Belisle

    I'd rather have Frankie sweet music as a pitching coach, but he is with another team right now and cannot happen mid-season. Thus the interim.
  5. Thrylos
    That's more like dropping a shoe and replacing it with a flip flop.
  6. Thrylos
    Before today: 5% HR/FB, 91.4% LOB%, .214 BABIP, 5.5 K-BB%, 3.89 FIP, 5.05 xFIP Disaster ready to happen. And today, just the fuse got lit; better go before he totally blows up
  7. Thrylos
    Here is why it is a pitching coach, as well as a Molitor issue (from another thread.) And who is talking about firing Molitor. He should get promoted, like Deron Johnson did
  8. Thrylos
    Question: The Twins were up by six runs left. 2 innings to finish. Do you use: a. the guy you called up today, is a starter, has a fresh arm and was slated to start today for Rochester b. the guy who pitched 1-1/3 innings the day before, threw 25 pitches and has a 6.11 ERA
  9. Thrylos
    Agreed, but he is not alone. Paul Allen's role is when Molitor wants to bring in Pressly, Breslow, and Belisle who are spent, to try to pursuade him to bring in a fresh arm with 6 runs up and 2 innings left. If Allen cannot do that, he has to go.
  10. Thrylos
    1. DFA Breslow and Belisle 2. Option Pressly 3. Promote Melotakis, Bard and Turley 4. Promote the manager to Special Assistant to the GM 5. Get Doug Mientkiewicz up as an interim manager 6. Promote the pitching coach to Special Assistant to Pitching Coordinator (or just fire him.) 7. Get Eddie Guardado as an interim pitching coach As a short term solution. And then hit the phones for trades
  11. Thrylos
    I hope that tomorrow the Twins announce that Molitor has been promoted to an Extra Special Assistant to the GM, Allen to a Very Special Assistant to the Twins pitching roving instructor (or something) and name Doug Mientkiewicz as the new manager with Eddie Guardado as the new (interim) pitching coach. Cannot minimize Allen's role in this debacle
  12. Thrylos
    FWIW: Hurlbut, Busentiz, Wimmers pitched tonight Turley, Hildenbergen, Boshers(*), Rucinski(*) Saturday. Wheeler supposed to start tomorrow. Baxendale, Chapman, Pino, Slegers, Tepesch(*), Tonkin also on the Rochester roster (*) = 40 man spot. One 40-man spot is open. Jorge started today in Chattanooga, so he is out. On the other hand, Rosario and Melotakis have been pitching well there (both on the 40-man roster.) Pick your poison.
  13. Thrylos
    Now with both Wilk gone and Haley to the DL they will need someone who could eat innings. Maybe both pitchers will be innings eaters. So you are looking at Tepesch and someone else BTW good to see the Twins being proactive. TR would have sat on his rear end...
  14. Thrylos
    Sure. Still a fact. Feel free to check the career numbers as well. Mauer reached base 7 times today. Don't those 7 PAs matter, because they are just seven?
  15. Thrylos
    If they get dinner at the ballpark, $25 can go far even on the road on healthy food. Most hotel rooms have refrigerators. A large tub of plain greek yogurt is about $5. You can get bananas, apples and/or oranges for free in most hotels or for about a quarter a piece. A tub of unsalted almonds is about $3. That's $10 for 3 healthy breakfasts of yogurt, nut and fruit. For lunch in certain omnipresent fast food places, like Smashburger or Subway (or even in local diners) one can get huge salads with grilled chicken breast or other healthy protein for $5-7. Other than dinner you are looking at $10 a day for good healthy food. Not enough for Lattes and scones or booze or sushi fer sure But they don't need that.
  16. Thrylos
    Why exactly? We are talking about a team that is competing. It should have its best 25 men in the majors. That simple.
  17. Thrylos
    Nope. He caught Gibson just once and the others enough: By SP Hughes (4) Mejia (4) Santana (3) Santiago (2) Gibson Berrios I would think that Gibson would affect Castro's ERA
  18. Thrylos
    2017 splits vs LHPs: Gimenez: .217/.333/.304 (MLB) Garver: .368/.429/.632 (AAA) Just sayin'
  19. Thrylos
    Here is the other thing: Team ERA by Catcher: Castro: 3.38 (1118 PA), Gimenez: 6.20 (479 PA) (that was on the 24th.) Pretty significant. And I bet Berrios felt it in his last start as well... Great clubhouse guy and all, but he's got to go. The Twins are competing and the country club mentality needs to go... #FreeMitchGarver
  20. Thrylos
    Semantics but: 7 IP, 2 ER, 6 H, 7 K whether is nice, it is not close to "dominance". Dominance would be something like: 7 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 11 K Bit of difference there. Good to see Gonsalves return to pitching well and keeping his team long into games, but still he if far from "dominance".
  21. Thrylos
    Nobody wants O'Rourke to join them... (that output thing)
  22. Thrylos
    I don't disagree, but I'd rather knock on the Pirates door to get Nova (who is younger and cheaper and 2.5 seasons of control), see if they can add someone like Juan Nicasio for salary relief and also see whether I can buy low on Starling Marte. One stop shopping.
  23. Thrylos
    Wishing him the best. Also wish that Flavine go out and get some bullpen help for the Twins ASAP...
  24. Thrylos
    Here. From FDA.
  25. Thrylos
    I think that it is a matter of acting based on facts and really not "believing" because there is nothing to believe. Fact: The Twins are 7 games over .500, with 3 games lead in the Loss column in both the division and the Wild Card race. Fact: There are several holes they need to close if they want to keep it up: - A starting OF - A starting P better than Santiago - Two to three RP better than Kintzler Rewind to 2015. The Twins found themselves in a similar (but not as good) position and Ryan chose to sit on his behind and did nothing to close the holes of that team. The Twins will be contenders if they want to be, by filling those holes. Potentially 1-2 spots in the pen could be filled from within (Burdi, Chargois) but they need at least 3 trades (OF, SP, RP) to solidify the team.
