    I feared our bullpen would not be good this year at the beginning of the year... and yup, my fears have been realized. You can't just trade Rogers away and expect Pagan and Smith to perform as your top acquisitions. What happens if Duran gets hurt for any amount of time?

    I am not in favor of keeping in Thielbar over an inning against RH hitters... dude's been pretty brutal this year against them.
  3. Danchat
    Kinda feels like Gray had the opposite kind of start that Ryan had yesterday - great start, ugly end instead of the other way around.
  4. Danchat
    Gotta wonder if Buxton's knee is flaring up. For as cautious as the Twins are with him, you've got to think he'd at least be DH'ing today following the 'plan'.
  5. Danchat
    This one stings. Gotta score a run when you've got two runners on, no outs in the bottom of the 10th. Yuck.
  6. Danchat
    Never doubted them!! Let's go!!!

    When the trade deadline ends and everyone is disappointed with who they didn't acquire...

    Good to see Cruz rebounding, he seems like a logical trade candidate in a month's time. Washington has no need for him. Can't believe Milone has pitched at least one game every year since 2011. Woof!
  9. Danchat
    Intriguing... Fangraphs had them as near equals, while your source and Mill1634 had Ryan as far more valuable prospects.
  10. Danchat
    Yeah, though I was expecting worse after Smeltzer got butchered yesterday. This isn't changing my outlook on Bundy, trust me.
  11. Danchat
    Wow, Bundy is having a good game? What is this madness? Looks like he's going to surpass Chief's bet-line of 2.5 starts after the Yankees outing.
  12. Danchat
    Is that true? I remember the discussion on the two prospects being that they were close in value, some sites had Strotman as the better prospect. It seems easy to say this in hindsight, but I don't recall anyone thinking Ryan was the only prospect worth of value and Strotman was a throw-in.
  13. Danchat
    Hasn't Smeltzer pitched well enough recently to get way more rope than Bundy has?

    I don't see a comparison at all between Dobnak and Garlick - Kyle turns 31 in January and we have him through 2026, I see no need to lock down his arb numbers. Dobnak was still young when the extension was made and gave the Twins some cheap options if they wanted him way down the line. Any options on Garlick's deal would retain his age 35+ season(s), which seems wildly uncessary.

    I think the real secret postseason weapon is Canterino, not Maeda.
  16. Danchat
    He was active on the bench for Monday, which was the only day he was active. Seems like they just wanted to give him a cup of coffee, kinda like Drew Maggi last year.
  17. Danchat
    It's time - he's mashing and the Twins lineup could use a pick-me-up. We could easily deduct a reliever and be just fine, and with how often our hitters are getting hurt, there will be ABs for him.
  18. Danchat
    I've been lenient on Jeffers for quite awhile, but this isn't acceptable. You've got to hit if you're going to let baserunners got nuts on you.
  19. Danchat
    Kepler's hitting .227 and a sub 700 OPS in his past 18 games. Also, I think it may be time to bump up Celestino, he's maintaining his .337 average somehow. I don't think anybody not only foresaw him sticking with the team the whole season to this point, but also that he's hitting so darn well after he struggled so much last year.
  20. Danchat
    With Buxton on 2nd base, why even bunt? A single scores him anyways. I think this is who he is. He'll get hot for a while, and then go into long ruts of being passable as a hitter. Too many popups and grounders into the shift for my liking.
  21. Danchat
    Smith really is better with inherited runners on... weird!
  22. Danchat
    Uh, he didn't.
  23. Danchat
    They've already restructured his deal twice, as most of his 2023 salary is guaranteed... another restructure would make his 2024 cap hit even more ridiculous. He's probably still a Viking in 2023.
  24. Danchat
    Finally, a loss that wasn't a brutal giveaway! As for Sands, I think he may be better off switching to being a reliever. I know that's always a first reaction to seeing a starting pitcher struggling when first coming up, but I don't think his stuff looks good enough to hang in the majors. Reminds me of when Zach Littell first came up - he looked way better once he moved to the pen and gained a few ticks on his fastball.
  25. Danchat
    Really weird that Sands gets to go over 100 pitches and a 3rd time through the lineup when other starters haven't been allowed to...
