    Wow, that was quite the play by Polanco. That was Andrelton Simmons-esque. I'm very disappointed to see Busenitz go back to AAA. It should have been Pressly - he needs more time at AAA and Busenitz needs more MLB experience, but hopefully the two will switch spots before too long.

    I dunno, I always had a hard time watching Joe Nathan save games. He was always pretty good but there was just something about how he pitched...

    I'm not sure why the Twins are trusting Duffey in a high leverage situation like this, he's been really bad the last few weeks. They have other options...
  4. Danchat
    Duffey's been brutal as of late. Maybe Hildenberger could take his role?

    It's good to see Mejia make it through 7 innings for once. Let's hope he can keep this up and eat some more innings that the bullpen wouldn't have to account for.
  6. Danchat
    That was a great inning, but can we quit it with the baserunning mistakes? It seems like we've had one in each of the past 5 games or so.
  7. Danchat
    He was the 26th man, so he heads back to AA now.

    I wouldn't lump Boshers in with Breslow and Belisle. Over the past calendar year in the majors, Boshers has a solid 3.62 ERA [FIP of 2.84 in 2016!] with a BB/9 of 1.8 and K/9 of 8.4 - though his strikeouts have dropped off so far this season, but the sample size is a bit small. He's leagues ahead of those two right now, and while Boshers is probably just a placeholder at this point, at least he isn't losing the Twins games. He's the type of guy we need in the bullpen while we wait for our injured prospects to get healthy - Belisle and Breslow are not.

    Amen! I was just looking up Hildy's minor league stats earlier today, and I was surprised by how good he's been! I think he can become a Neshek - or, at least he has the potential. I'm glad the Twins gave him a shot and I'd have to say he's definitely impressing me.

    It's crazy how our backup catcher now has more HRs than our starting first baseman... I know I keep repeating this, but why is Belisle still on this team? Eat the rest of the $3M and plug in Boshers, Busenitz, and Hildenberger in. If this team wants to be serious about winning, it's time to make the easy moves to make this bullpen better - DFA Belisle and Breslow.

    It's been completely bonkers. The Twins have been nearly invincible on the road (2nd best record in the league behind Houston) yet they have the worst record at home (yes, even worse than the Phillies and the Giants!). If we can sneak in as the 4th seed and win all our road games (while losing all home games), the World Series will be ours... if the NL wins the All-Star Game, that is.

    It's good to see Polanco have a great game at the plate after he's gone into a minor slump. I believe he's got a great bat and he'll hit his way out of this. I'm not worried about him.
  13. Danchat
    Mejia has definitely struggled this season, but it's been less than May's, Gibson's, and Berrios' rookie struggles. I think he could be a solid #4 starter once he gets used to the majors.
  14. Danchat
    Wait, I thought this game started at 7:10... well, I won't complain with a 4-0 lead.
  15. Danchat
    Whoops, it seems I thought that poster was announcing some moves, but I don't see confirmation anywhere. I apologize for misleading you guys! But I do wonder what the 40 man moves will be...
  16. Danchat
    Wow, not only do we get Hildenberger and Gee, but we also get to see Granite debut! I'm glad they've given up on Breslow, so we're almost through with the chaff in the bullpen. Belisle has been serviceable as of late, so I won't ask for his release.... yet.
  17. Danchat
    Are we sure that isn't just a temporary move to the bullpen for Hu? I'm pretty sure he'd be starting for us right now if he was still around, though I'll admit I don't know a lot about him.
  18. Danchat
    What I'm afraid of is having the Twins trading away a guy like Chih-Wei Hu for Kevin Jepsen. Two years later, the Twins are looking like complete idiots for trading away a solid starting prospect who could be in the rotation right now for a reliever who did help the 2015 playoff run but then immediately capsized in 2016. The time will come to become buyers and make a WS run. But that time is not now and likely not in 2017.

    Nice article, Seth. I hope to see Busenitz very soon as a Twin.
  20. Danchat
    Wilk isn't on the 40 man either.
  21. Danchat
    I've heard a lot of people saying that Lewis doesn't have the arm for SS and he'll end up in CF. It's likely Lewis will not affect Gordon (who might be a 2B) whatsoever.
  22. Danchat
    Something was up that we probably don't know about. Most likely something to do with his signability.
  23. Danchat
    Wow, I still can't believe Baumann got drafted so high. I would love to have Mahtomedi (my high school) have a guy in the MLB. I will be rooting for him all the way.
  24. Danchat
    Trevor Hildenberger and Alan Busenitz say hello. They may not be great prospects, but they're at least average. They have been Rochester's best relievers all season long. It just seems like the team is pretending like they don't exist.
  25. Danchat
    Gordon might end up at 2B and Lewis is probably going to be in CF. Even though it seems to some like there is a "logjam", there really isn't. These guys can play other positions, so it's not like we have a billion shortstops that can only play in that spot.
