    Since Sano's 0 for 7 game on June 27th, his line is: .327/.441/.673 (1.114 OPS), 59 PAs, 17 Ks, 10 BBs And that's why you don't give up on a guy when he was going through that cold stretch.
  2. Danchat
    Sano's really clicking at the plate, it's just too bad that he's one of the league's worst defensive 3B. The dude's getting on base at a super high clip the past few weeks but I cringe whenever a ball is hit to 3B and he's fielding.

    Remember when people said that Garver would never be able to replicate his numbers at AAA in 2016 when he hit .928 OPS with 17 HRs? Garver was hitting .999 OPS before that HR and now has a total of 17 HRs... in 175 less plate appearances!!

    Maybe the strategy is to have him pinch hit in a late inning when we need a big hit?

    Unless they're going to try and take on Greinke's contract or something, these trades are going to be expensive prospect-wise, likely not payroll-wise. I don't think the Pohlads give a hoot if we give up some prospects (and spend $5-10M) to get some reinforcements.

    Lol what?! His 2016 season was one of the worst an OF has ever had IMO.

    It looks like the A's had their own embarrassing way to get a double play with a runner just at 3rd. Glad to see the Twins aren't the only ones making these types of gaffes!

    Wow. Total domination by Liam Hendriks... it's hard to believe Oakland DFA'd him a year ago and now he looks like this.
  9. Danchat
    We have another 40 or so games against the three terrible teams in our division, so there's plenty of time to reverse that trend. It would be bad if we were having trouble putting way the Royals and Tigers in September when they're gunning for the 1st overall pick.

    Can we get Jaylin Davis up here tomorrow? This kid is simply raking.

    Now that I've looked Harper's up, I also want to find out how many times our relievers gave up more than one run in an outing: (pitcher - appearances / # of times given up more than 1 run (percentage)) Harper - 42 / 3 (7%) Rogers - 36 / 1 (2.8%) May - 40 / 5 (12.5%) Parker - 34 / 4 (11.8%) Magill - 28 / 4 (14.3%) Duffey - 27 / 3 (11.1%) Morin - 23 / 1 (4.3%) Hildenberger - 19 / 6 (31.6%) Mejia - 13 - 4 (30.8%) (this does not count unearned runs, so for example, Magill's 6 run outing yesterday didn't count)

    It stinks Harper gave up the lead here, but I think it's worth saying that Harper has given up more than one run just 3 times in 42 appearances - one of those times being the 18th inning when it was the third straight day he pitched. It would be nice to get a couple more proven relievers in the bullpen, though...
  13. Danchat
    Seems like pitchers are doing their best not to throw strikes to Sano... so he's just taking a whole bunch of walks now. It reminds me of his rookie season!

    Schoop pulled an abdominal muscle two days ago and should be back soon. Wade dislocated his thumb and is going to miss an extended period of time.
  15. Danchat
    Yeah, Eddie! And I was just thinking about how the Twins have yet to hit a pinch hit HR... KABOOM!!!
  16. Danchat
    Sano has looked much better at the plate recently. His pitch recognition seems to be much better these past few weeks. His 2 strike approach has been far improved as well.
  17. Danchat
    Kepler is 1 for 5 with stolen bases this year... are you ready for him to make it 1 for 6?
  18. Danchat
    Well, they're making absolutely sure not to leave any runners on base...
  19. Danchat
    Earlier this year, we'd have total confidence that the offense could bring it back... now we have no hope when our starter throws "the Pineda".
  20. Danchat
    Boy, it seems like teams are getting all kinds of double plays against the Twins. Hopefully some of these line drives will miss fielders more often.
  21. Danchat
    We have a pathetic 11 SB outside of Buxton... I don't know if we have anyone who can reliably steal bases outside of him, as it isn't worth getting runners caught stealing IMO. Oh, and also outside of Buxton we have 12 CS. That's not even a 50% steal clip!
  22. Danchat
    Probably because Stewart will be the next guy to be sent down. Possibly due to a trade or needing to get another fresh arm up. But I’m glad the chaff has been sorted from the grain in the bullpen - I can’t remember the last time so many relievers were DFAd in a short span. Let’s get some reinforcements in here!
  23. Danchat
    I'm fully aware of this, but I'm not seeing how moving him to the bullpen is the reason why he's pitching so poorly. Back at the start of the year, I was hoping they would keep him in the rotation. I remember there being some talk here about Romero not pitching enough innings (in his minor league career) to be a starter.
  24. Danchat
    I heard that this Twins season is ranked either 7th or 8th for the longest period of time without losing 3 games in a row... and then when it did happen, many fans declared the season to be over, despite being 22 games above .500. Odd how the Indians losing back-to-back games to the Orioles 13-0 didn't instantly end their season, but two losses to the Mets is a season ender for the Twins? You are right about that... we had an article explaining how the lineup could be better with Sano, and statistically it looks that way with Sano having a solid .870 OPS with 25 RBIs in 45 games. I think the problem has been that going from Gonzalez to Sano defensively at 3B was a big drop-off. Gonzalez was [surprisingly] ranking very highly according to fielding metrics.

    I think I puked in my mouth a little. I certainly wouldn't be up for giving Gibson $16M+ a year. I understand we don't have many starting options, but no thanks! I can't agree with you there. First off, many believed Romero was going to end up in the pen because he didn't have what it took to be a starter, and we've seen plenty of starters turn into relievers successfully before. Yes, they should have added some relievers over the offseason, I absolutely agree with that. But I don't believe moving Romero to the bullpen somehow broke him; he'd probably be pitching just as poorly if he was still a starter.
