    You know it's been a weird season when Rosario has more walks than strikeouts.
  2. Danchat
    I can't say I liked using Thorpe here, but Stashak has been throwing fire lately, no reason to expect him to suddenly implode.
  3. Danchat
    Now the whole bullpen is imploding... Rogers can't close a game vs the Pirates, Romo had a suboptimal outing last time out, Wisler was mediocre yesterday, Thorpe stinks, and now Stashak implodes? What the heck?! Relievers sure can be volatile.
  4. Danchat
    Someone here ranked him as our #6 prospect this preseason! Thorpe had a good strikeout rate last year in both AAA and MLB, so it is surprising to see him look this bad... at least point you'd have to hope he's hurt and not throwing at 100%.
  5. Danchat
    Yikes, looks like Thorpe is going the way of Gonsalves. Mediocre stuff and poor command is a surefire combination for failure. Doesn't matter how good your minor league numbers are if your stuff is bad.

    Home runs are fun, but you're not going to win games when they're all solo HRs.
  7. Danchat
    This is probably the right answer, even if it may not be an exciting solution.

    If Tortuga can hit like he did in 2018, we could use a guy who hits for contact regularly. Would be an upgrade from Garvey in his slump.
  9. Danchat
    Mild knee soreness, I believe. They said on the broadcast tonight that he should play Saturday or Sunday.
  10. Danchat
    Giving up 3 runs when basically using your B pitchers is not bad... but you won't win games when the hitters rack up a measly 5 hits. Too many hitters are slumping at the same time...

    I remember reading during Spring Training that Thielbar was hitting 94/95 and was looking really good, which I thought was why he's here... but he's clearly the same guy he was back in 2013-15. Not worth being on the roster IMO.
  12. Danchat
    I thought Thielbar's fastball was around 94-95 (with his new approach/arm slot)? So far between his two appearances I've seen 89-91.
  13. Danchat
    Wow, we'd be in a bad spot without that catch! Great play by Cave, who when not making reckless dives, is a pretty good outfielder.

    We're getting Odorizzi back tomorrow, Bailey will be back soon, Hill might be toast. Dobnak's a keeper. Pineda will be back for September. Who's trading their starters away? It seems like most teams are struggling to keep their starters healthy. And we have a very small pool of prospects to trade from, too.
  15. Danchat
    Marwin has quietly been having a very good start to the season, and is basically an every day starter thanks to injuries and getting guys a day off.
  16. Danchat
    Isn’t Jack Morris the color commentator today?
  17. Danchat
    Donaldson to IL, retroactive to August 4th. No corresponding move yet, but maybe Blankenhorn?
  18. Danchat
    The Rays are adding Sean Gilmartin to their bullpen. Now 30, Gilmartin was a guy that many here thought had a future until he was taken in the Rule 5 draft by the Mets.
  19. Danchat
    SANO!!!!!
  20. Danchat
    I don’t foresee the Twins doing this, outside of Duran in the bullpen. They’ve got enough depth to not need to.
  21. Danchat
    Odorizzi will be coming off the IL to start on Saturday. We do have a roster spot open for him, but I believe we have to cut to 28 soon?
  22. Danchat
    At this point I don't think you can remove Dobnak from the rotation. He did it last year and he's doing it now - he just gets outs. With it seeming unlikely that Rich Hill has what it takes to hold down a starting role due to his durability, Dobnak should take his spot. Rotation can be Berrios-Maeda-Dobnak-Odorizzi-Bailey (once healthy) and then we'll also get Pineda back in a month.
  23. Danchat
    This is the best year to tank!
  24. Danchat
    You can thank me for that home run - I had just finished saying that the Twins haven't had a home run in 3 days, and then BOOM! I'm wrong!
  25. Danchat
    Looks like Stashak is getting the 7th, even though Dobnak has plenty more in the tank, from what I can tell...
