    Weird situation, but when Gearrin was added to the 40 man, we didn't learn who was DFA'd until over 24 hours later, at least by the user who posted the update. We should learn soon.

    Fun fact: The Rays have 10 saves so far recorded by 7 different pitchers, 3 of them being former Twins. Nick Anderson has 3, Oliver Drake has 2, and Aaron Slegers has 1. John Curtiss is in their pen and Sean Gilmartin was there briefly... talk about a former Twins fest!

    Just some bad RISP today... er, we're actually 3 for 5 in RISP, but have only scored 1 run. Yuck!
  4. Danchat
    Having a Garver - Jeffers catching duo is what I have been hoping for in 2021. Both have what it takes to be very good hitters and at least average defensively.
  5. Danchat
    ...and Buxton hit the IL again! Quite good timing with this article.
  6. Danchat
    Wow, it's great to see Jeffers get a shot over Tortuga (on 40 man) and Telis (was on the taxi squad, so the original 3rd catcher). Hopefully he can inject some better hitting into this lineup! You can forget what I said on Littell's option, as he was called right back up, so that final option remains. I wonder if Wade will actually get used this time around? With Cave taking Buxton's spot for the short term, that means that Wade should be the 4th OF. Or maybe Marwin will play more of LF/RF and less infield.

    I think one of the problems is the 40 man roster - who do you DFA to get Kirlioff / another pitcher? 28 of the guys are on the team, 3 are hurt, and most of the rest are prospects - you'll need to DFA someone like Poppen, Wade, or Astudillo; or someone on the team like Thorpe, Thielbar, or Vargas.
  8. Danchat
    Perhaps they will start the clock on Duran or Colina, possibly Poppen/Gearrin again/Sam Clay?
  9. Danchat
    4 hits, 3 walks, only 2 outs (runner caught stealing)... that's pretty bad.
  10. Danchat
    Well, at least we know we shouldn't be seeing Thorpe back in the majors for a while, unless he gets the Belisle treatment. Yet another top 10 pitching prospect imploding, which is sadly the fate of almost every Terry Ryan pitching prospect.
  11. Danchat
    Thorpe is not good!
  12. Danchat
    Yes, he's been officially optioned. That's his final option, and will be out next season.
  13. Danchat
    You are right about Wisler, but Thielbar actually does have an option left... not sure if they can use it (some veteran contracts don't allow the player to be optioned).
  14. Danchat
    That double was almost a HR and it had an expected batting average of .100? That wasn't bad luck, that was Garcia crushing a ball for an extra base hit... and then Rogers immediately lost the next guy and walked him. Only bad luck came on the double-play ball. I'm not giving up on Rogers, but you also didn't mention the game he lost to the Brewers last week when he gave up the 2 run HR to Gyorko. His stuff doesn't look as lethal as it was the first week this year / most of last year. I think it's a really foolish idea to throw him out there the next time we have a 1 run lead in the 9th, have Rogers get some work in the earlier innings to see if he can get his sharpness back.
  15. Danchat
    So, remember that Maeda's only a good pitcher when at Dodgers stadium? Yeah, neither do I.
  16. Danchat
    Wow Polanco, what a play!
  17. Danchat
    Because taking the bat out of Eddie's hands to trust Marwin and newbie Vargas isn't likely a good idea.
  18. Danchat
    Well that was a shockingly good outing...
  19. Danchat
    Especially since he'll have to face 3 batters... with a man on 2nd... please no!
  20. Danchat
    I think Rogers needs to have a few outings in the 6th/7th innings and regroup... these breakdowns against the Pirates and Brewers are not acceptable.
  21. Danchat
    Rogers has been pitching more like Thielbar lately.
  22. Danchat
    I dunno, they should give it to him. Only 91 pitches, hasn't given up a hit... Maeda won't die if he goes over 100 pitches today.
  23. Danchat
    Or maybe the Twins should put someone at 3rd base when he's up to bat.
  24. Danchat
    Wow, Maeda, let's go!! I want to see a complete game shutout now!
  25. Danchat
    Maeda's cruising, 6 Ks, 0 hits!
