    Great play by Acuna, he couldn't have put that ball in a better place. I do think Castro made the right move to go for 2B, though. He's safe on anything but a perfect throw.
  2. Danchat
    This is Odorizzi for you - about 20 pitches an inning, but he'll usually get outs when you need him to. Getting 4-5 innings of great pitching is nice but the 6th/7th inning can look like a mirage for him most times.
  3. Danchat
    Cave is a solid corner outfielder, but he’s not great out in CF. Keeping Kepler in CF while Buxton is hurt seems to be the way to go.

    Mission accomplished boys, we went 8-2 against 3 bad teams. Now it's time to tussle with a couple good teams and see if we can beat them too.
  5. Danchat
    Rogers has had two days off, using him in the 9th is fine. I wouldn't send Romo out there, however.
  6. Danchat
    The Royals have been giving us some free outs on the bases lately, I guess we'll just take 'em!
  7. Danchat
    Looks like Baldelli is using your comment exactly. Let's see if it works out for you!
  8. Danchat
    Don't forget he went 5 innings versus the Yankees and gave up a single run. Against the "savages of the MLB"!
  9. Danchat
    I don't understand what you mean... they just called Smeltzer up and he's thrown 5 scoreless innings, what good would "letting him get settled" do?
  10. Danchat
    Boy, I'm really liking Smeltzer so far. Compared to Perez, he's doing far better against both the Royals and the Yankees... I'm starting to think I'd like him in the rotation more than Perez - once Pineda gets back, of course.

    Jerry Bell’s induction into Twins HOF.
  12. Danchat
    I’m fine with this as long as he’s effective when he gets back. Is this only the second reliever to hit the IL this year? That’s crazy!
  13. Danchat
    A HR with Dozier pitching? Now that's something!
  14. Danchat
    Just a housekeeping note here - many of us didn't like how Pineda was removed early from this game as he was just at 81 pitches, but with Pineda hitting the IL, is it possible he was removed early due to the triceps injury? Just a thought.
  15. Danchat
    If Cruz could bottle this up and save it for October, I'd really like our chances, at least offensively.
  16. Danchat
    Just checking in... all the talk in free agency was about Machado and Harper, but it turns out teams should have been offering $300M+ deals to Nelson Cruz!! Alright, that's a bit crazy, but he's been much better at the plate as compared to those two.
  17. Danchat
    The Twins opted to keep Cave and trade Davis, and they've had room to add Davis for a few weeks now and didn't. It seems they are thinking Cave will rebound. It does stink that Raley, Rooker, and Wade are all on the IL... but when they get healthy (by 2020) there's probably not room for Davis on the 40 man.
  18. Danchat
    Don't forget that they have another year of control over Dyson in 2020, which I imagine was a big factor in the price of the trade. I also find it hard to "get played" when a team gives up 3 non top-30 prospects. Davis might become a good MLB player, but with Kepler, Buxton, Rosario, and Rooker, Kiriloff, and Larnach on the way, there wasn't room for him.
  19. Danchat
    Do note that the 10 days can be waived when another player is put on the IL. I wouldn’t be surprised if a reliever gets put on the IL to get one of the names you mentioned back up earlier.
  20. Danchat
    Not playing well = winning 6 of our last 8 and scoring 11 runs yesterday? I know we have some issues to iron out, but I think it’s safe to say the offense is firing on most cylinders.
  21. Danchat
    Darn, Duran was having a great outing and then totally cratered in the 6th... 5 earned runs on just 3 hits!
  22. Danchat
    MVPs of the game: Cruz, Romo, finally some RISP hitting Scapegoats: Perez, Dyson, infield defense, bullpen management? Participation trophy: May
  23. Danchat
    Yuck... though I will say this about Dyson, he gave up a legit double and single and then did his job - he induced some groundballs, but had Sano butcher the throw and had the shift thwart a routine groundout.
  24. Danchat
    If Adrianza goes after that ball, he's diving into the baserunner. From the angle I saw I don't think he could have caught that.
  25. Danchat
    7 for 14 RISP!! It's about time!
