    Alright, that's enough Gibby, let's get Thorpe or Stashak out there. Gibby clearly isn't 100% out there right now.

    Did Adrianza get injured? Why is Torreyes in the game now?
  3. Danchat
    5 baserunners, 5 outs... yup, it's another Gibson start.

    Or maybe they just ran into a really Yankees squad? Plenty of teams in several different sports have tried resting their starters, and some have tried playing their starters in meaningless games with varying results. I just find it hard to believe that giving a player small amounts of rest could be a bad thing - especially since now some are wanting the Twins to have their players play through injuries, which seems like a poor idea to me.

    Let’s not forget the Twins-Indians series is in Cleveland... we play much better on the road, so I wonder if that will help. (For those wondering, Cleveland is slightly better winning home games)

    FYI - We've been aware of this for a good 3-4 days now.

    Are they really the best guys if you're sending them to the plate when they're injured? I don't get why they refused to pinch hit Garver, but I understand if they don't want Sano swinging away when his back is hurting him.
  8. Danchat
    Also, not sure how Garver didn't pinch hit for either Astudillo or Adrianza. It sure seemed like he was ready to pinch hit, not sure why they didn't give him a chance there...

    Classic FRE, puts two baserunners on, and then goes 1-2-3 the rest of the batters. It's like he needs to get his blood pressure up, and then he can start getting outs.
  10. Danchat
    They're throwing Rodney at us?! We gotta break out the FRE!!
  11. Danchat
    Well he is hitting .332, so I imagine he'd be hard to get out.

    Littell has looked so much better since hopping into the bullpen and adding 4+ MPH to his fastball. I wouldn't mess with his success. I'd pencil him into a spot in the pen in 2020; not a high leverage spot, but certainly a roster spot.

    This is what Berrios can be... 7 scoreless against a good lineup? Thank you! Now let's win this one, boys! Getting this version of Berrios in the playoffs would give us at least a chance to win a playoff series.
  15. Danchat
    He's been a good starter for 2 full seasons now. Unfortunately, the Twins went with Lance Lynn over Sanchez last year... despite most everyone on this site hating the Sanchez signing.

    I think the doctors know what they're doing, they don't just repair labrums for nothing. Gonzalez had an abdominal injury that was going to take some time to heal. Sano's back is injured, which is why we haven't seen him for a couple days. Also, I imagine Kepler is having pain in the shoulder or they wouldn't have done the MRI. The injuries are just ridiculous, but what can you do? I don't think forcing them to play through injuries is going to help in the long run, especially not if we want to win any playoff games.
  17. Danchat
    I think a big factor was getting Marwin Gonzalez on the team, and he could start in a lot of spots and not embarrass himself like past Twins bench players would. Add on Adrianza's solid season at the plate and Arraez's brilliance, and I find it hard to say resting players has been a negative thing. They've been throwing quality lineups out there on almost every day thanks to the depth this team has.
  18. Danchat
    Let's not forget that the final 10 games of the season are going to be against the 2 worst teams in baseball. The division is in hand, I'm just worried that they're not going to be capable of winning a playoff series.
  19. Danchat
    I don’t see the point of this with Miller already on the roster, but this spot won’t be playoff eligible so it means nothing.
  20. Danchat
    I'm not the biggest advocate for electronic strike zones, but horrendous calls like that make me want them. I wish we could at least hold these umpires responsible.
  21. Danchat
    This offense is hard to watch when the RISP hitting isn't working. So many wasted baserunners...
  22. Danchat
    These double plays are getting real annoying!
  23. Danchat
    Ervin had about 3 more seasons under contract that were 100% guaranteed, so they had no option but to bring back Ervin unless they were interested in burning all that money. But yeah, this'll definitely drive the price down on him. A repeat suspension would be for a full season, so that will turn off his suitors.
  24. Danchat
    You aren't going to win most games when you score 2 runs in 11 innings. Plus Thorpe/Graterol/Hildenberger probably aren't going to be on the postseason roster.
  25. Danchat
    FYI: 1 of those BBs and 1 of those hits were on Hildy.
