  1. Wait, what happened to "why aren't we using our best relievers in close ball games"? At least this time Rocco used his best guys, and May & Rogers weren't up to it.
  2. Yuck. With Hader on the mound in the 9th, that's likely game over. Looks like 2 losses for Rogers in the first 18 games.
  3. Yikes. Buxton looked at the only strike in that at bat.
  4. Come on hitters, we've left enough guys on base today. Let's see some RISP hits!
  5. Sano's in the same boat, except 3 HRs instead of Garver's 1.
  6. Good stuff so far! Lindblom's stuff doesn't seem all that great, so it seems like a chance for Garver and Sano to get back on track. Let's see if they can have decent days at the plate.
  7. It's a bit early to say that about Donaldson... but hey, good thing we didn't sign Bumgarner!
  8. Interesting move, Vargas seems like he's got some decent contact and slugging ability, but struggles with getting on base. I wonder if he's any good defensively, but I see he's played the most at 2B, so I'm going to guess he's on the lower end of the spectrum. I hope this is more of a "we've always liked this guy and think we can improve his game" move rather than a "Donaldson won't be back for awhile". It's also bad news for Astudillo and Blankenhorn, since Vargas is out of options.
  9. Why isn't Peralta in Milwaukee's rotation? He's got some really good stuff and can clearly go several innings.
  10. Rocco was saving his best bullpen arms for a while now, so I guess it makes sense to fire that bullet now.
  11. Of course Dobnak starts things out with a 4 pitch walk, it seems the whole team is off filter since the Pirates series.
  12. What are the odds of that, one in a million? Lower? That's nuts!
  13. Luis Castillo is the main option here I would look to acquire... he has ace potential and several years of control. He'd be really expensive, but the Twins really need an ace to anchor the rotation. I'm not interested in rentals, since most of our lower prospects worth trading for those sort of guys aren't on the 60 man pool. I would need the player to have control through at least 2021. We don't really know why, but I suppose he isn't that close to being MLB ready. FIY prospects who are on the 60 man pool: #1 SS Royce Lewis #2 OF Alex Kiriloff #3 OF Trevor Larnach #5 SP Jhoan Duran #6 C Ryan Jeffers #8 OF/1B Brent Rooker #10 SP Lewis Thorpe #11 OF Gilberto Celestino #15 RP/SP Edwar Colina #17 2B/3B Travis Blankenhorn NR RP Jorge Alcala NR SS/2B Nick Gordon NR SP Dakota Chalmers Not the biggest pool of guys to trade from, but we certainly have an abundance of outfielders. Also, I can't say I see Thorpe as a top 10 prospect or even top 15 at this point...
  14. Kinda needs to get on the 60 man pool first...
  15. Gearrin is pitching right now, so they must have DFAd somebody.
  16. C'mon Rocco, it was clear Berrios was gassed in the 5th. Why is he out here?!
  17. It's time to go to the bullpen, Berrios is just not good.
  18. Yeah Max, there we go! Let's keep stringing together some hits.
  19. I've never believed Berrios was an ace, but I thought he was at least a #2 starter... he just hasn't looked right this year.
  20. Gotta get a 6-7 inning outing from Berrios and get to the back end of the pen. Bats need to get going! Can’t afford to drop another game to the Royals.
  21. Does a 40 man spot need to be opened for Gearrin?
  22. John Curtiss is getting another chance with the Rays.
  23. I know Garver and Sano need reps to get back on track, but they've done enough damage being inept at the plate, is it worth penciling them into the lineup? Or could they not be in the 1-5 spots on the lineup?
