  1. Pressly needs a trip to AAA, Belisle needs to be DFA'd, Breslow needs rest. Call up Busenitz and Boshers. It's hard to believe this team has the record it does, but two tough losses do not equal a lost season.
  2. Vargas is pretty darn slow, he could get caught going to 3rd or at home where Adrianza may not. The chances of this happening are very slim but I can understand the rationale.
  3. Man, sometimes it looks like Pressly has things figured out, and then he goes and has outings like this. Ugh.
  4. For those counting at home, that's 5 extra base hits Gibson has given up.
  5. Morris: "Dozier tries to hit home runs. Sano will sometimes try to hit a home run. Mauer never tries to hit home runs."
  6. Holy cow, I look away for 10 minutes and they've already scored 5 runs! What happened defensively that you guys are referring to?
  7. It sure seems like the Royals are trying to lose these games.
  8. With Vargas' big HR, it makes the decision to pinch-run Sano dumber. We could really use him in extra innings...
  9. To be fair, most of the commercials on FSN are absolute rubbish. Plus they replay again and again...
  10. Santiago's only strikeout in this game came on a bad call...
  11. Oh, that's right, McGee's the guy that was considered but the Twins traded for Kevin Jepsen instead. Whoops.
  12. If it was pronounced "Bear-ee-ohs", then we could have a cereal brand called "Berri O's!"
  13. There is another... His name is Jose Berrios!
  14. Whoops, I forgot the Twins played at 6:10 tonight, not 7:10. Good to see Santana's having another great outing.
  15. I some regression coming for Hughes... the Twins aren't going to hit really well every time he pitches.
  16. I can see it now - in a few years from now, in some sort of trivia of guessing the players who played for the 2017 Twins, we'll all be stumped when we're told we forgot Nick Tepesch, Drew Rucinski, and Adam Wilk. Now that I thought this up, I'm going to create a short section of pitchers you forgot ever pitched for the Twins. Who's He? Twins pitchers you forgot existed 2012: Esmerling Vasquez, Matt Maloney, Luis Perdomo 2013: Shairon Martis 2014: Kris Johnson, Logan Darnell 2015: Tim Stauffer, Aaron Thompson 2016: Neil Ramirez, Pat Light 2017: Nick Tepesch, Drew Rucinski, Adam Wilk...
  17. You're right, the Twins are using Wilk as a reliever, so the Berrios point isn't valid in this topic. Why the Twins are using Wilk as a reliever is beyond me...
  18. I never approved of the Wilk acquisition. I was just emphasizing the importance of waiting until Berrios is ready.
  19. Unpopular opinion: I'm OK with Berrios staying in AAA. It's likely going to be a repeat of last year if they call him up now, so I'll trust the new management to have a plan for him. They're going to call him up when they think he's ready, not when they need him. (this doesn't justify the Wilk acquisition though)
  20. Wilk has thrown 663 innings in AAA. He is not a capable starter and might pass off as a mop up reliever, but we already have Haley. I don't get this move... Wilk has no upside. We have better guys in AAA (Wheeler, Hurlbut) but I guess we going full steam ahead on the 28-29 year old retreads. This move would make more sense for the 2016 Twins destined to tank for the 1st overall pick. While I'm fine that this team isn't that interested in competing right now, why not call give Jason Wheeler or even David Hurlbut a chance? I can't believe we have Tepesch, Rucinski, and Wilk taking up 40 man roster spots.
  21. I think they used him because there was two guys on base and they didn't want to let the White Sox to start a rally. But you are right that he probably shouldn't have been warming up... but I can't blame Molitor.
  22. I have to admit I completely forgot the Twins existed today, but I just remembered to tune in. It's good to see they roughed up Pelfrey.
  23. Yup, I tried deep dish once in downtown Chicago and I did not like it. Way too much sauce. On a completely different note, Miguel Sano will serve his one game suspension today. I guess it'll be like an off day for him.
  24. If you wanted to keep Butera, then DFA'ing him was the mistake, not the trade. If DanSan becomes a vastly improved player, the blame should be on the DFA decision - the trade is just a cherry on top, it's likely they didn't want to keep him anyways.
