  1. Isn’t the September limit 28 players? Or is that in 2020?
  2. I don’t think I’ve seen him in a top 50, I don’t think he was regarded as much of a prospect. He started the year at Fort Myers and is already in the big leagues, which certainly wasn’t expected to happen.
  3. Dyson is on the road to recovering his reputation among Twins fans... Oh hey, and no more Josh Hader!
  4. And that's why you keep watching, even after a crushing inning like the bottom of the 7th!
  5. Not sure why'd you trust any of them here and now... but hey, let's check up on how they're doing! Morin (PHI): 10.1 IP, 4.35 ERA - 0.87 WHIP, 7 Ks & zero BBs Parker (PHI): 7 IP, 5.14 ERA - 0.86 WHIP, 11 Ks / zero BBs Magill (SEA): 7.1 IP, 4.91 ERA - 1.09 WHIP, 8/2 K/BB Mejia (LAA & STL): 7.2 IP, 7.04 ERA - 8/5 K/BB
  6. Well, there's some more of that basestealing for whomever was asking early in the game thread. It's a nice way to get more outs on the bases - Buxton is the only guy on this team who can consistently take bases.
  7. I don't see why, he's at 50+ pitches and has only given up a single unearned run.
  8. Well that was embarrassing. It's not going to get much easier than that to catch a ball, Polanco.
  9. I'll take a single with Arraez up next. Here's hoping for some more runs!
  10. They looked much better against him when we played this year, but yes, the at bats they had against Hader last year were so bad I'll never forget it. Bobby Wilson looked like he was swinging a giant noodle up at the plate.
  11. I think Perez and Graterol will be in the pen... and honestly, I think that's the best we can do at this point. If Dyson is up to snuff, our bullpen will be solid with this group - and that's with no sarcasm, I think this is a pretty good group. Now the rotation is what really concerns me, and the only reinforcements they have from the minors is Thorpe... I'm very concerned about them.
  12. All teams make minor league signings like this, I don’t see how it can be considered dumpster diving. O’Rourke is lethal against lefties but turns righties into Barry Bonds. With the new rule change coming, his usefulness is going out the window.
  13. Rogers' last 2 weeks: 5.2 IP 0 ERs, 2 Hits, 8/1 K/BB How is that struggling big time? He had also only thrown once in the last week (he didn't between between the 4th and the 10th of August), so I don't buy that he was fatigued by yesterday's 2 inning outing. Sometimes your best reliever fails you - it happened for Cleveland today too.
  14. Rogers has thrown just 31 pitches in the last 5 days, I don't see why he couldn't have taken the 10th. I thought that was a fine time to use your best reliever.
  15. If I would've known Gallen was available, I would have loved to see the Twins try to acquire him. We could really use a starter like him not only for the playoff run, but for 2020 and on.
  16. Yeah... I've avoided jumping on the Schoop hate bandwagon, but it's getting difficult not to now. I would think about replacing him with Nick Gordon once he's healthy, though we could wait until September for that...
  17. Here we go, offense, this could be our last chance to seize control of this game. Let's get at least 2 runs!
  18. I'm not sure if "played down" is the right term... more like "completely and totally failed to develop starting pitchers". Over the past 10 years, only Berrios and Gibson have developed into legitimate starting pitchers,and since the Twins have rarely tried to trade for starters, they've mostly relied on mid-tier free agent starters. Clevinger and Bieber would be debatable, but Cleveland would do the Plesac and Civale trades in a heartbeat.
  19. My complaint has been answered: A 5th rounder for a kicker is a pretty high price, but I'm glad they paid it. Vedvik has been brilliant for the Ravens in practice and in their preseason games. @Vanimal, I know Vedvik is a punter too, but I think they'll keep both him and Wile on the roster. Wile had a very good 2018 season, and I doubt he replaces him as the main punter. Bailey is the one who's getting chased out of here IMO.
  20. Odorizzi may be inefficient and throw 20+ pitches an inning... but he hangs zeros better than most in the majors.This was a desperately-needed outing.
  21. Finally, the hitters are coming back to life! Our first lead since Monday!
  22. Holy crap, what a game! I see Yordan Alvarez hit 3 HRs... that kid is a beast! As is the rest of their lineup!
  23. Nice article, I like these stats you've brought up. I don't see Berrios-Pineda-Odorizzi holding up very well in a playoff series, but hey, that's what we got at this point.
