    Thanks for the cookie, Edwin! Kepler should probably be in the #2 or #4 spot at this point, with Arraez ahead of him.

    We could really use Duran in the rotation... here's hoping he can break through to the majors in late 2020.

    Cave went from being the Twins Daily scapegoat a week ago to the only guy who showed up today... so I guess that's a positive.

    I just know this team is going to go on the road and play much better against the White Sox and Tigers next week... just because! With the way this season has gone, I wouldn't be surprised to see them lose this series but then rip off 6 of the next 7 out of nowhere, if only because we're better on the road.

    We probably should have optioned Harper and kept Littell up here... the clock is striking midnight on Harper's magical season.

    Detroit looks like a AAA team on paper, but tonight, the Twins are playing like a AAA team.

    So I technically predicted that Arraez hit - Sano HR sequence in my last post, right? I think I'll take credit for that!
  8. Danchat
    He does look to be a .300+ hitter, and we have enough power in the lineup. Have him hit before Cruz and Sano and change some of those solo HRs into multi-run HRs.

    This was my argument for putting Berrios on the IL... we can't win with him now, we should we keep him in the rotation and watch him pitch poorly and lose games? I'd rather have Devin Smeltzer starting and have Berrios rest his arm.

    Seems like Twins starters have been giving up lots of singles lately. Much better than allowing XBHs, of course...

    CAVEMAN!!!!

    I'm not sold on the O-line's improvement, Elflein is not a fit in the new zone blocking scheme and has played poorly so far in the preseason... and Kline was so bad in Tennessee last year they cut him one year into a 4 year deal. I think O'Neill and Bradbury will be solid, and Reiff's an average LT, which is nice to have. I think they will be decent pass protectors but I wonder about their ability to run block.

    Are you sure it wasn't the injury he had in 2006? Looking back, I totally forgot Liriano was starting in Detroit last season, so I guess Anderson kept on doing his "doubt talk" to him.
  14. Danchat
    He has a job because Gardy has one. Gardy likes to employ his buddies as coaches, sometimes to the detriment to the team.
  15. Danchat
    Drew VerHagen is starting today for Detroit, not Boyd. That’s great news, so we had better win this one!
  16. Danchat
    We need to interview some As fans to determine if Robbie is doing as well in LF as the stats claim he is.
  17. Danchat
    He has a passion for coaching and it was a chance to get his old buddies together one last time. He should have been aware that this team was going to be bad for a few years...

    I think Weatherly will be solid and might rotate heavily with Griffen. Ifeadi Odenigbo has seized control of the 4th DE spot and he might be a factor too. The DTs are probably going to rotate a lot, Joseph and Stephen are good run-stuffers, but aren't going to do much against the pass. Jalyn Holmes is in a position to get a lot of work, but it's still in the air whether he'll be up to the task. Hercules Mata'afa has looked solid, but he's going to get killed on running plays. Richardson was a bit overrated but he will be missed.

    I wish Sloter would be the backup, but all signs show that Mannion has already wrapped up the job. Sloter couldn't play any better in the preseason, but Zimmer threw a bunch of shade on Sloter in his latest interview. Apparently Sloter is pretty bad during practice at times... I saw he threw a pick 6 in practice yesterday. If you're writing the conclusion about the defense declining because of the preseason play... yeah, I wouldn't do that. Remember when the defense got crushed by Brian Hoyer and the 49ers in the 2017 3rd preseason game? No you don't, because the Vikings had the best defense in the regular season that year. Preseason football is sloppy and ultimately doesn't mean very much. I'd wait a few weeks into the season before drawing any conclusions like that. I don't think Barr and Smith are past their prime yet. Barr is turning 27, is that really so old? Also I think Rhodes' problem is injuries, not age yet. But that could be a problem soon.
  20. Danchat
    I didn't get that impression, they used him pretty heavily this season and had him in the #3 and #4 spot in the lineup every once in a while. Baldelli certainly appeared to like him as a utility guy.
  21. Danchat
    Why on earth was Magill the guy who was supposed to defend a 1 run lead in the 9th?!
  22. Danchat
    This is why we needed to win Monday’s game... because games like this are going to happen. The Twins are not great in home games... still haven’t figured out why.
  23. Danchat
    I would at least wait until their internally developed pitching prospects make it to the majors, including their drafted pitchers (Landon Leach, Blayne Enlow, Cole Sands, Josh Winder, Matt Canterino), and acquired arms (Zack Littell, Jhoan Duran, Luis Rijo). It would help if the past FO would have been able to develop a few more options - imagine how much Kohl Stewart and Tyler Jay would be helping if just one of them developed into the type of pitcher we were hoping for. So far the pitching development has been disappointing, at least in the majors, but we've been going through mostly Terry Ryan-acquired arms. I suspect things will improve when the FO's pet projects reach the majors.

    Good thing we didn't sign Kelvin Herrera, huh? He's now got an ERA of 8.00 on the season.
  25. Danchat
    I don't see what you mean... Romo just got 3 swings and misses from Anderson, who's been their best hitter tonight. Perhaps Duffey's history vs Anderson isn't good.
