    CRUZ!!!!

    I just don't get this... it's not even a Baldelli thing. Gibson is physically not in condition to pitch, and it's been clear that's the case for several starts/appearances now. Yeah, I know they're low on starting pitchers, but Gibby simply shouldn't be out there. How do you IL a guy with colitis and then just activate him after 10 days?! This is a total management failure. How do the coaches and FO get together and say "Gibby is fine, throw him out there again"? It's clear as day to all that he's not healthy enough to be pitching right now.

    Wow, Arraez threw a runner out at home from LF! Never thought he'd do that in his MLB career! Of course, it was more thanks to a bad slide, but we'll take it.

    I betcha the Indians fans watching the score went to bed thinking the Sox won 8-6.
  5. Danchat
    Alright boys, we got a runner on 2nd with one out now. Let's win this one!
  6. Danchat
    Rogers pitched really well there - basically pitched 4 outs, but they only got outs on 2 of them.
  7. Danchat
    For anyone counting at home, that's 0 for 3 with Schoop in RISP situations today. He's a near-guaranteed out when there's a runner in scoring position.

    Well, "good" is a pretty general term here. Would it really be out of the realm of possibility to add something like 2 #3 starters and a #5? Just a hypothetical situation here... but say the Twins re-sign Odorizzi for something like 3/$50M, trade for Chris Archer for a couple sizable prospects (trying to get Archer back to what he was as a Ray), and then maybe somebody like Michael Wacha on a less expensive deal. You could then have the 5th spot of the rotation go to Thorpe/Smeltzer/other option. I'd like to see them aim higher than this, but I don't think my scenario is out of the realm of possibility.
  9. Danchat
    Sure, but that doesn't mean we should overpay Gibson just so we have someone to fill the space. We are allowed to sign other FA starters and trade for them too.

    What in the world is Gibby doing in this game?
  11. Danchat
    Yup, a 5.5 game lead is more than enough, IMO. Sweeping this doubleheader solidified it. Just think about it, if things went wrong today, we'd have just a 1.5 game lead. Just fantastic baseball, boys. Rosario, Cruz, and Sano were all in the midst of slumps and came through, and every single pitcher except Thorpe did their jobs today. Well played, everyone! What did I say about playing games on the road? It just seems to cure this team's woes. They are 26 games above .500 on the road and just 8 above in home games.
  12. Danchat
    I picked a good time to say this, didn't I?
  13. Danchat
    Y'know, for all the crap that has been given to Thorpe so far, he's pitched way better than Gibson and marginally better than Perez.
  14. Danchat
    Ding ding, you win!
  15. Danchat
    Great job, Littell. I'd say he's in our top 5 arms in the bullpen! I'd glad we traded for him and the Yankees don't have him right now. I hope they enjoyed those 2 mediocre months of Jamie Garcia!
  16. Danchat
    Wow, what a big inning! Good job, Smeltzer!
  17. Danchat
    I'm surprised this didn't happen earlier... not sure why they needed to wait two weeks on this move.
  18. Danchat
    I don’t understand where this demand for Kirilloff is coming from, he hit .756 OPS against AA pitching this year. If they called him up now, I’d expect a sub .700 OPS from him. I don’t understand Lamarre on the roster, though... they should have at least gotten somebody who was hitting well at AAA, like De Aza.
  19. Danchat
    Or maybe it’s just too early for these guys - remember how we rushed Hicks and Buxton to the majors before they were ready? I would have called up Rooker, he should be healthy now.
  20. Danchat
    Of course, Schoop gets a HR in a blowout... he really does have a penchant for that.
  21. Danchat
    I think we'll see Sano, Kepler, and Cave get back this weekend. As for Gonzalez? I'm not sure if he's going to play again this year. Just a hunch.
  22. Danchat
    Alright, so I definitely didn't expect Stewart to look this bad. Are the Twins going to hit the next Nationals hitter with a pitch? The Nationals broke the sacred unwritten rule about swinging on a 3-0 count in a blowout...
  23. Danchat
    Blech, I can't see Stewart staying on the 40 man roster over the offseason. He's not going to cut it as a starter or reliever on the MLB level - he can't get outs in the minor leagues, how's he going to do it in the majors?
  24. Danchat
    Well... the good news is that the upcoming series against Cleveland is not a home series, and they aren't going to have home field advantage in the playoffs. Oddly enough, that seems to be just what this team needs since they play so poorly at home.
  25. Danchat
    It seems Rocco & Co. are really hellbent on getting everything they can out of their starters every time they go out there. They really like to give the starter every chance they can get. Now that we're in September, it makes a lot less sense.
