  1. Dick said that the starter still needs to go 5 innings to qualify for a win.
  2. It feels like Eddie hits .300 in RISP situations and .100 when there's nobody on base.
  3. Can't throw that cookie on a 0-2 count. Now the Royals are right back in it... Always seems like we play the Royals in close games, last year too.
  4. Odo's looking much better today. Pitch count is still as high as ever for having just a single baserunner, but he's getting the job done today.
  5. Finally, some runs on this Royals bullpen! It seems like the Twins like to score most often in the 3rd inning for some reason.
  6. With the way the Twins are playing (hitting in the early innings, starters not going deep), two 7 inning games tomorrow is exactly what they need. Odorizzi was unlikely to go deep today, so it works out well for us.
  7. Yes, though non-60 man players can be traded as a PTBNL. I have a hard time seeing many, if any trades will happen. At this point only the Pirates seem to be truly out of it, as most teams are a few games out of a playoff spot.
  8. It seems like for him, he's either smashing HRs or hitting very light groundballs off the end of the bat. If he could eliminate the soft contact and hit some more line drives, he's going to have a great year with the better K/BB ratio he's currently at.
  9. I don't think Pineda will come back as a starter, and instead work as a long reliever when he gets back. There won't be much time for him to ramp things up, with only a month to go from that point.
  10. Yup, it looks like a good trade for the Twins. Quality starting pitching is a scarcity, and getting 4 years of Maeda for very cheap (salary wise) was a smart move. Graterol should become a solid reliever / closer, but there's far fewer good starters out there compared to dynamic relievers.
  11. Here's what I read on Rotoworld today: Looks like Hill is getting close, as I believe Odorizzi started his first game about 5/6 days after he threw a bullpen session.
  12. 3 hits for Garver today... that almost doubles his amount before today (4).
  13. Darn, Maeda almost got 7 innings. But still a great outing, and hopefully Thorpe won't immediately let those two runners in...
  14. Games usually go 3 hours, what time did he reserve "early" dinner for? 9:30?
  15. I noticed the organist too - it's much better than the blaring techno sounds. Not sure why they couldn't just play organ music if they really don't want to bring the organist to the stadium.
  16. Dang, that was a pretty good pitch down and away, but Buxton still crushed it. Everything is going right today!
  17. Maeda looks locked in. I think he's going deep into this game.
  18. Yeah, great RISP hitting and a bit of luck! I was getting sick of scoring only by HRs. Now let's get 7 innings from Maeda and add on some more runs after the 3rd inning!
  19. Here's hoping for 7 innings from Maeda! Maybe I'm being hopeful, but we need to see our starters going deep soon. And yes, batting Garver leadoff makes no sense. He's currently not the threat he was last year, and putting a guy who's striking out at a 50% clip leadoff is a nice gift to the opposing starting pitcher.
  20. I think he’s gotten used to that by now...
  21. I’ll admit I was ready to give up on Duffey. I never saw this sort of resurgence coming. I am still confused why Oliver Drake was DFAd after pitching so well for us. It’s no surprise he’s pitched well for the Rays. I also didn’t see Anderson breaking out like he did, but I do remember wanting him to get a shot over the 100% cooked Matt Belisle.
