    Bechtold has been an infielder his whole career, but I think he's dabbling at catcher, while I thought Williams was an outfielder. Could be wrong.

    Y'know, for the heck of it I was checking out what the sportsbooks had for odds to win the AL Central... it's the White Sox by a decent margin, even though they're below .500 now. Unless they didn't touch the spread since April, it means that the folks who are putting money on this don't think the Twins are as good as we think.

    You can remove "Starting to Become" from the title of the article and that'll do it. Archer should be a long reliever who can go 2-3 innings per outing - hopefully Winder will be healthy soon and can take his place.

    And to put the cherry on top, it sounds like Wentz developed a shoulder strain and was pulled early, yet we could do nothing to him. Reminds me of our 2020/21 squads getting crushed by mediocre lefties...

    Sloppy inning for the Tigers, can we make them pay?
  6. Danchat
    Let's see if we can get 7 innings out of Smetlzer... would be huge for the bullpen, since Sands probably won't go deep into tonight's game.
  7. Danchat
    Yeah, that strike one to Larnach was a pretty bad one. Looked both low and outside.
  8. Danchat
    Not to mention that he missed nearly all of last year with an injury, which would have caused the same fans mad about Dobnak to be mad about Smeltzer. We've got 3 years of control of Smeltzer, just like we have 3 with Dobnak, only that Dobnak's arb numbers are locked down and Smeltzer's aren't. It's not a big deal at all.

    Good to see Palacios up for the first time - I don't expect a whole lot from his bat, but he's supposed to be a solid defender at SS. Let's see how he fares. Also, Sands has already pitched in 2 games for the Twins and gave up 3 runs over 4 innings. Here's hoping for a decent enough outing from him.
  10. Danchat
    It'd be nice if it were that easy, but the problem is, the only guy who can consistently go that length is Joe Ryan. Sonny Gray just got hurt pitching into the 7th, Ober seems to be having injury issues, Paddack maybe could have but won't pitch until late 2023, Bundy is probably going to cost you the game if he pitches 7 innings, and Archer is a long reliever and can barely go 4. Maybe the young guys like Smeltzer and Winder can make it that far, but it's easier said than done. Uh, what? Why should we care if the opposing fans are booing one of our best players? I wonder how that would go in negotiations. Levine: "We'd love to extend you, Carlos, but we've simply heard too much booing from the opposing fans, and as we all know, that is not good for the team!" ?

    It appears Cole Sands will be the 27th man for the doubleheader tomorrow.
  12. Danchat
    Darn it, I fell for the Bremer-gasm there. Thought we had a tie game. Also, why did Royce Lewis have to go to AAA to learn to play the other positions while Miranda was forced to learn to play 1B on the fly? Doesn't seem like it's working out for him, he profiled more as a 3B/2B.
  13. Danchat
    Bundy's only at 51 pitches, so it'd be nice if he could go 7 and help the pen for tomorrow, but I fear the longer he goes, the lower of a chance we have of winning this game... He's been about what I expected - a middling #5 starter. I fear what will happen when he faces an actually good lineup.
  14. Danchat
    This is looking to be a Pyrrhic Victory... Maybe pulling your starter while in a 3-1 count and starting to fade is the new meta, might as well get a reliever in there mid-count and try and salvage the inning before it goes haywire.
  15. Danchat
    Great to see Lewis up, definitely needed him in the lineup. Contreras can come up if Kepler needs to go to the IL. Gotta split this series, losing 3/4 to the Royals would be embarrassing.
  16. Danchat
    Do we even know if that’s Rocco’s call? Last I’ve heard, Rocco doesn’t have much power over the roster (it’s more of a collab with Falvey and Levine).
  17. Danchat
    Can't say I like having Minaya go a 3rd inning. He was consistently going 2 innings in AAA, but not 3...
  18. Danchat
    Maybe we need to get Garlick into the lineup more over Gordon?
  19. Danchat
    Likewise, I think we've overestimated our pitching because all teams are experiencing a drought of hitting - heck, Archer's ERA of 3.86 coming into this game was only 95 ERA+, meaning that was below average, when you'd think that'd be a good number for a starter.
  20. Danchat
    That was embarrassing...
  21. Danchat
    I guess they just don't think very highly of Hamilton, or is he hurt? I'm not much of a fan of Minaya, but he did put up good numbers here last year. Maybe Coulombe should have got some rehab appearances in before being brought off the IL, looking bad, and going straight back. Hmmmm.
  22. Danchat
    Cano has been optioned, no word on who is coming up.
  23. Danchat
    I appreciate that they've given Cano several chances, and he was dominating at AAA... but man, he's just getting shelled and it's not even by the good teams. Our bullpen (non-starter to reliever) prospects just don't ever seem to be that good.
  24. Danchat
    I think he's still on the IL? Also, yeah, Kaat isn't terrible. Maybe not a great announcer, but he's still fun to listen to.
  25. Danchat
    Heck of an inning for the hitters... glad they can finally take the stress off this game. If only we could have saved a few of this ABs for the past couple days, though.
