    Wait, we're going to trust Duffey in this situation? Wait WHAT?! Mejia was giving up some hard contact, but I would have given him some more rope...
  2. Danchat
    Yeah, I don't get why someone like Rosario or Kepler isn't hitting in that spot. Granite isn't exactly lighting things up right now. Reminds me of Buxton in the #3 spot early this year.
  3. Danchat
    He isn't up yet, they haven't made a corresponding roster move at this point. All we know is that it's been confirmed Colon will come up before Tuesday's game starts.
  4. Danchat
    I think you're talking about the Braves, the team he played with for the first half of 2017. He was an All-Star for the Mets last year.
  5. Danchat
    Ugh, not a fan of Colon going up against the Yankees lineup after he had a poor start in AAA. That's going to be an ugly outing. I'm guessing Gee gets DFA'd unless they put Haley on the 60 day DL, but I don't think that'll happen.
  6. Danchat
    Wow, two errors by Houston's defense. This is our chance...
  7. Danchat
    This game is going to end at midnight at the rate these ABs are going...

    Berrios may have had a bad outing but at least he only gave up one extra base hit. Hughes has already given up 3 XBHs to the first 4 batters he's faced. And unlike the rest of you guys, I'll won't be checking out. I'll be here until the end - not because I think the Twins can still win, just for curiousity. I want to see if Houston can score 20+ runs and break some records.

    If you're looking for a silver lining, at least Granite doesn't seem capable of overthrowing the cutoff man with that arm of his, unlike Rosario. We really need to see more Adrianza and Escobar at short. Polanco needs some time on the bench to clear his head.
  10. Danchat
    Seriously? One bad outing against the best batting team in baseball and now you're giving up on him long-term?
  11. Danchat
    I did not expect Granite to hit second, so let's hope he proves himself there.
  12. Danchat
    I'm glad the Twins didn't sign them when they had the chance over the offseason. It has turned out that putting Grossman, Vargas, Escobar, and whoever is hot at DH has worked pretty well (.252/.346/.403 so far) and saved the Twins some cash. Still, if we could get Bautista on the cheap, I'd give him a share of the DH role. He has always hit HRs easily at Target Field.
  13. Danchat
    This is exactly what I was going to post. I like me some Polanco, but if you trade Gordon, we're stuck with a rotating door with Polanco doesn't figure things out. I don't think Vielma is a starter at short, I don't think Lewis will end up at SS, and the best guys are years away. I would still make Gordon available and consider sending him in a trade for starters with multiple years of control, but I would hold onto him very tightly.
  14. Danchat
    I don't think Adrianza's going anywhere. He is the front office's guy and they've moved DanSan and Vargas off the roster for him. And with his solid bat so far, he can rotate with Polanco and Escobar with Jorge's play dropping off.
  15. Danchat
    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.
  16. Danchat
    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...
  17. Danchat
    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...
  18. Danchat
    Duffey's been brutal as of late. Maybe Hildenberger could take his role?
  19. Danchat
    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.
  20. 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.
  21. Danchat
    He was the 26th man, so he heads back to AA now.
  22. Danchat
    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.
  23. Danchat
    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.
  24. Danchat
    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.
  25. Danchat
    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.
