    Clevinger has been hurt most of this season, but you're right about Bieber. The Twins rotation is more "bad" than "worn out" IMO.
  2. Danchat
    They sure look like it, but so did Cleveland back in May. Remember when the White Sox passed them in the division for a game or two? That seems like so long ago.
  3. Danchat
    I also think the Indians deserve a ton of credit because they've suddenly turned this team around and look like they're back to being a WS contender again. I know we love to rag on the Twins, but Cleveland looks legit.
  4. Danchat
    Who has even overachieved at this point? Right now the only names I can think of are Odorizzi and Harper. Once again, our pitching development has been lackluster...

    That's the thing with going on a crazy tear in April-May... being the best team in the first half of the season is fun, but you don't win championships that way. You win them when you get hot late in the season, and carry the momentum into the playoffs. I don't know how many times I've seen in the MLB and NFL teams had world-beating first halves just to peter out in the second half. The Twins desperately need a kick in the pants to get things going.

    In hindsight, we probably should have traded high on most Terry Ryan prospects. Though I never quite understood the hype on Granite,
  7. Danchat
    I suspect Garver is either nicked up or possibly sick... but it would be nice to be starting him at 1B some of these games.
  8. Danchat
    This is bad. Well, Cleveland won plenty of games with tons of injuries in their rotation, and now we need to step up with 2 of our better hitters hurt.
  9. Danchat
    IMO it makes sense to replace Arraez with another prospect on the list, I don’t think we need to see his numbers here anymore.
  10. Danchat
    Hand hung a breaking ball high and down the middle on his first pitch, but Rosario was under it and missed it. I think he was right to come out swinging at the first pitch.
  11. Danchat
    I will normally defend May, but... uh... I got nothin'. He's a guy this team should be able to develop into a solid reliever, but alas... we relied on our ability to develop internal options (which I don't think is a bad thing in of itself), but it turns out they aren't very good at that.
  12. Danchat
    Darn... we just gotta get one off Hand in the 9th. Well, hopefully just one. This has the feel of a playoff game - which is great, but as a Minnesota Sports fan I always have to expect a crushing defeat.
  13. Danchat
    I wonder if Indians fans are mad that they didn't acquire any relievers at the deadline...
  14. Danchat
    There we go Sano!!
  15. Danchat
    Methinks we have enough power in this lineup. Just get him on base and then have Cruz follow after him, problem solved!
  16. Danchat
    That would have been a great outing for Littell if he just would have saved that double for a different AB... but unlike Stashak and Stewart he did his job.
  17. Danchat
    Clevinger is legit. It's crazy how he and Bieber have pitched like aces, and I haven't even mentioned Kluber. Most teams don't even have a true #1 starter, but the Indians have 3 this season!
  18. Danchat
    Arraez is the best!!
  19. Danchat
    Just a random thought here, but it's seemed like this Twins team is a step better in road games, for whatever reason. Actually, it's seemed like more years than not at Target Field the Twins have always been slightly better in road games. ...not that I have any ideas why that is, mind you.
  20. Danchat
    The guy with the Las Vegas Knights avatar asked this a week or two ago, and I'll pull the stats up again: Players on team .500 or worse: .228/.271/.355 (.626 OPS) Players on team better than .500: .277/.355/.460 (.816 OPS) (not including tonight's game) He seems to give up more walks to the better teams. However, fun fact, he's given up 9 HRs to the "bad" teams and just 8 to the "good" ones.
  21. Danchat
    Bad managing? Has Baldelli even had the opportunity to make a mistake yet? I don't like Adrianza over Cron, but that's just nitpicking at this point.
  22. Danchat
    Yeah, there just aren't that many "good" starters in the league. It does, however, feel like Gibson is reverting back to the guy he was in 2016-2017 with his 5.07 ERA and about 1.5 WHIP instead of what he was in 2018.
  23. Danchat
    Let's see if the stats agree: Schoop since July 7th: 57 PAs, .208/.246 (.585 OPS) Gonzalez since July 7th: 98 PAs, .207/.286 (.585 OPS) Holy cow, not only are you right, but their OPS's are the exact same! What's the coincidence in that?!
  24. Danchat
    Interesting how you didn’t mean Kimbrel... I can’t imagine the fans would be happy if they landed him and he performed as he did. I would go back and do the Kuechel deal, even though I was opposed to it at the time. I’m sure many teams would with how the trade market ended up.
  25. Danchat
    Nice job, Thorpe, he'll be back up soon when we need a fresh arm. Let's see Graterol take on some AA guys before giving him a shot at the big leagues. He's only just recovered from the shoulder impediment, so it wouldn't be wise to rush things.
