    This is the situation Tortuga is made for - get the runner in from 3rd with one out. Don't disappoint me!
  2. Danchat
    Morneau thought Simmons might have let up while running the bases... if so, poor effort, if no, he's slower than I thought.
  3. Danchat
    Maybe the Twins need to try calling up a prospect who's never played in AA or AAA and just see if he can let it rip? Baddoo looks like a veteran at the plate!
  4. Danchat
    Do we really need a 9th reliever? I like what I saw from Waddell in ST, but I don't know if we really needed a 3rd lefty. We could use another bench bat with just Garlick, Astudillo, and Jeffers as the backups. If this cervical strain affecting Rooker's swing, it would explain why he's been struggling at the plate recently, but methinks it's also due to a lack of plate discipline.
  5. Danchat
    I think Kirilloff will replace Rooker at some point. As for Broxton, I think he's only going to be an option if Buxton is hurt. Plus, they could go Celestino over Broxton since he's already on the 40 man.
  6. Danchat
    Garver and Garlick in the first two spots, huh... I guess this is the anti-lefty lineup. I guess we're platooning both LF and RF now!
  7. Danchat
    He was up 2-0 in the count and he loves to hit singles.
  8. Danchat
    ...yup, expecting that Baddoo thread to get some more traction now.
  9. Danchat
    It wasn't a soft single, their RF was scooping the ball as Polanco was rounding. He probably gets thrown out at home if he goes. Isn't Cave not good against lefties, and Simmons does better against them? Don't have the stats on hand but that made sense to me.
  10. Danchat
    This reeks of a game we're going to lose. Just burning simple opportunities here. Also, probably should have PH Garlick for Kepler instead of PR'ing him. Kepler's not viable against lefties.
  11. Danchat
    I saw that, apparently one was a slider and the other was a curveball. That's a scary combo right there!
  12. Danchat
    Gameday is telling me Kepler has taken 5 balls and is still up to hit, I'm definitely doubting that...
  13. Danchat
    Stashak is lot looking today today. I'm be warming somebody up...
  14. Danchat
    Great AB from Arraez there, just didn't get the hit. He just loves to run the pitch count up.
  15. Danchat
    Tortuga looks like he's back in 2018 form. That's a heck of a bat to have on the bench. Not to mention, I love how short his ABs are. I really wish more hitters would put the ball into play that fast, it'd really speed up games.
  16. Danchat
    Ugh, things look bad for Gladney, and it means we likely wasted yet another high pick on a CB. At least they scooped up Mack Alexander on a minimum deal, as he should be competent. This does bump CB up the needs list a bit... but if Zimmer is in charge in 2022, he'll likely be shooting for another CB in the 1st round.

    Littell signed a minor league with the Giants, but he didn't make the team. I think he's going to start in AAA for them.
  19. Danchat
    This lineups needs Cruz at DH. There was just going to be too much of a drop-off with rotating guys there compared to Cruz's recent track record. Simmons has looked great at the plate so far, no sign of rust from a short ST. Tortuga has been flexing some power lately. Rooker's ABs have been pretty bad, he had some chances to do damage and made some bad misses. I can see why he didn't make the initial roster. I imagine Garlick will be getting some starts soon.
  20. Danchat
    Well, we can see why Rooker didn’t make the initial roster. Yikes.
  21. Danchat
    That’s why you re-sign Cruz. Unless they signed someone like Brantley/Ozuna, there’d be a big drop off, especially with Donaldson out.
  22. Danchat
    He did have a OPS of .928 one year in AAA, so there is some precedent for his outbreak. I don’t know what’s happened to him, but he has the potential to be a really good hitter.
  23. Danchat
    Never mind, looks like Cologne is warming up now. Darn auto correct! But it’s funny so I’ll keep it cologne.
  24. Danchat
    Looks like Robles is getting the 9th? It looks like Rocco & Co. are really high on him.
  25. Danchat
    I have no doubt they would have let him go further if it were later in the season, like Maeda last year (they let him go past 110 pitches!). It has less to do with analytics and more to do with not letting Berrios injure himself at the start of the season.
