    If Sanchez were going to the pen I wouldn't hate it, but he just doesn't have what it takes to be a starter. No surprise Godoy is off the roster, but I wouldn't be surprised if Hamilton is next (or just off the 26 man) since I fully expect the Twins to find a backup catcher by the deadline tomorrow.

    Bundy got to start the 6th and Gray didn't? Weird. At least he got a quick hook.
  3. Danchat
    What happened? Gameday said Buxton popped out, but he didn't?

    Attaboy Arraez!!

    Absolutely. I think that Baldelli isn’t close to being the main problem - but he’s also not the solution to any, either. Agreed, Rocco seems to be a puppet - which is why I’ve grown more disillusioned with the front office rather than directing it mostly at Rocco.

    Nice outing, got a couple runs on one of the better starters in baseball and then dominated the back half of their bullpen. Hopefully the offense can do this on a more consistent basis. Not sure why Gray was pulled after the 5th at 79 pitches... is he not allowed to start a new inning over 75 pitches or something? Having Pagan face the top of their lineup in the 6th seems just as bad as having Gray go a 3rd time through the lineup. And if I had to make a chart in who I have the least confidence in our bullpen... Duffey is climbing back up that list again. Kinda incredible how bad some of them have been even in low leverage situations!

    If only we hired you as manager, we'd one of the best teams in baseball! I just don't get how you can view Baldelli as a bigger issue then the horrific pitching, which has been the worst pitching by ERA since Wes left / the past month. It's not Rocco's fault the starters stink and the bullpen is worse, there's no reinforcements in the minors, that Bundy and Smith were the biggest FA additions to the pitching staff, and that the FO still hasn't made any trades. Hiring anybody else as manager wouldn't fix those issues.

    Ober was put on the 60 day IL to get Beckham up, if anyone was wondering.

    There was talk about extending Falvey and Levine this year / end of this season... it's Year 6 of their regime and we still haven't won a playoff game, the pitching staff is an unmitigated disaster for a second straight season and we once again do not have pitching prospects in the wings. There are things they do well - they know how to build a solid lineup and develop hitting prospects very well - but how can we sign up for several more years of this with the lack of results?

    I dunno about this pitching pipeline I keep hearing so much about... Balazovic is completely busted and Varland is fine at best. Our farm has had plenty of hitting crops, but it feels like the pitching side has had a permanent famine. Also, who is this Jake Dave fella who's playing at AAA? Certainly not an alter ego for somebody else who plays there... ?

    They probably are in for a rebuild, but Metcalf was potentially 1, if not 2 years away from hitting the market, so inking a deal now makes sense since teams are paying top free agent rates on WRs. Seems like some guys are fine playing for inferior offenses if they're getting the dough (see Tyreek Hill). Pretty crazy how the WR market was triggered by the Jags signing Christian Kirk! This was probably going to happen either way, but that deal is what broke the camel's back. Jefferson will be getting offered some big numbers next offseason and I wouldn't be shocked if they lock him in then.

    Can we hire a new medical staff or something? I'm being sarcastic, but how are we ever going to build a pitching pipeline if our no prospect/young pitcher can stay healthy?
  13. Danchat
    For a short period of time, I think so. But I will be upset alongside everyone else if he is still around come the second week of August and he's still futile at the plate.
  14. Danchat
    Wow, we might end up using Gordon as much as we used Gimenez a few years back. Yuck. As much as I don't like Sano, I think there's a bit too much complaining going on about him - it's worth trying to see if he can get hot. But by next week or so he had better be on fire or off the roster...
  15. Danchat
    I think the stat I heard was 29th in team ERA since he left.
  16. Danchat
    Ask and you shall receive!

    According to Baseball Reference, the Twins have used 6 of the same lineups twice.
  18. Danchat
    If 'we ain't goin nowhere' doesn't that mean we're going to stay in first place? ?
  19. Danchat
    Wow... well, this is what happens when you throw out the likes of Bundy, Smith, Archer, and Cotton against a good offense. Turns out going cheap for pitching doesn't work! Good thing our pitching pipeline has some arms ready... ?

    Trading away prospects is fine, trading away players who are actively contributing this team would be a very poor decision. I don't think our offense is good enough to be taking some of the better parts off it - not just for the 2022 playoff run, but for all the rest of years of control we have. I'd trade any hitting prospect not named Royce Lewis (more because we'd be trading him while his stock is low). If they move Steer and/or Wallner for pitching, that'd be totally fine with me.
  22. Danchat
    Sorry Dick, that was not 'very shallow right field'. That was pretty deep... but a horrid throw from Kirilloff. Yikes.
  23. Danchat
    Definitely feels like hitters are starting to figure out Duran... we'll have to see if he adjusts.
  24. Danchat
    Heck no! We can talk about moving Steer and/or Wallner, but Miranda's an everyday hitter in this lineup and we need him if we're going to make any sort of playoff run. There is no need to rob Peter to pay Paul when we have prospects we could give up.
  25. Danchat
    And yes, I did type that before the HR happened. About 20 seconds between hitting Submit and the HR happening!
