  1. Dobnak is pretty lucky to have only given up 2 runs on 7 hits in 3 innings... but yikes, Detroit's hitters look better than ours.
  2. I see the White Sox and Indians are both 20-12 after today's games, so the Twins will have to step up their game in these two doubleheaders. But also, the Yankees have lost 7 in a row! Always great to see them do poorly.
  3. They really like to run through these AAAA relievers... Minaya has had some good strikeout numbers in the past, but has allowed too many baserunners. I'm just hoping Duran gets a shot soon; he's using up an option this year and is on the 40 man, so I don't see what's holding him back from making a couple spot starts.
  4. If we’re going after a big trade, I’d prefer a starter over a reliever.
  5. I was thinking that too... Romo still likely pitches after him, though.
  6. At the start of this year, some asked "could Berrios become an ace"? Right now I'm wondering can Berrios even be a #4 starter?
  7. Trading a guy when he's at the lowest value he will likely be is a bad way to make trades...
  8. Looks like we're getting shaky Berrios today... we're going to need more offense [than usual] to win this one.
  9. I remember a few folks here getting upset that Rodriguez never got a shot here, but it appears that his rookie year (19 starts, 2.81 ERA 1.1 WHIP) was a fluke.
  10. Finally, there's confirmation that Gordon wasn't actually on the 60 man pool. I hope he's OK after a long bout with the virus.
  11. I'm still surprised they haven't at least added a veteran starter to the 60 man list, like a Chacin type. The only guys in the pool who have started recently are Duran, Colina, Chalmers, and Thorpe (but he's clearly just a long reliever at this point). I do think Duran will get a chance at some point this year, but they could use an arm who could start instead of doing bullpen games every 5 days.
  12. There would be obsession here if Maeda was struggling, but right now it looks like a great move for the Twins. Good starters are so rare these days that it's worth giving up a potentially elite reliever for one. I do think Graterol will be a very good reliever for the Dodgers, but I don't think he will return to being a starter.
  13. Turned out to be a pretty good outing for Poppen!
  14. I was expecting the Indians to blow this game open, but instead Poppen gets Lindor on a DP groundball in one pitch... not bad.
  15. Is it his fault we've only scored 2 runs?
  16. Alcala was going to pitch at some point today... but probably not ready to take on the Lindors and Ramirezs yet. At the outset of this season there was no guarantee he was going to be pitching any important innings. Well, you're not going to win most games scoring 2 runs, so let's get the offense going again.
  17. I can't say I like our chances of winning this game... Bieber's on a war path, Hill looked bad last start, and the bullpen is gassed. But this is baseball, and the Twins have been able to win at a great pace, so who knows!
  18. It's crazy how this team is 20-10, with so many close games. Great first half of the season!
  19. I have no idea how Perez didn't deposit one of Romo's pitches into LF seats. Looked like he threw 3 cookies in a row.
  20. Why is Adrianza pinch hitting here? He's not hitting well enough to earn a pinch hit over the other options...
  21. Right, though I was referring to his effect on the clubhouse and the postgame dances/parties they had, if I recall correctly. Seemed like there was a point when the team was simply better just with Torii in the clubhouse.
  22. Reminds me of Torii Hunter on his 2nd stint with the Twins!
  23. When the light bulb is on for Sano, it's night and day. Either an easy out, or mashes everything in the strike zone. Always fun to watch when he's locked in, and we will need this version of him in the playoffs.
  24. Whoops, I thought this was a 7:10 game!
