    Are you sure it might not be because he's playing with a partially torn labrum? Apparently he's had some difficulties making the throw from 3B to 1B.
  2. Danchat
    Fun fact: Cron has 6 times as many HRs as Mauer did this time last year.

    Whoa, Smeltzer just keeps dealing! I hope we can see some rookie starters make it to the big leagues and not fall apart when they do. I don't know if Smeltzer will be one of them, but who knows at this point.
  4. Danchat
    Well, with that HR, it's now a save situation, and at least we're using up the Yanks' bullpen. Hopefully we can take advantage of this during the rest of the series...
  5. Danchat
    You are correct, but they've barely played anybody with a winning record. They've played a combined 5 games against Houston and Arizona and lost all 5.
  6. Danchat
    I wonder if Paxton will be the 14th guy to be on the IL for them... or maybe it's higher than that now!
  7. Danchat
    I thought the same thing, they have 6 position players on the 10 day DL! They also have two position players on the 60 day DL and another who is sitting on the bench with a knee issue. Oh, and that's not including the pitchers! They already have 3 on the 60 day DL. I'm shocked they're even 4 games above .500!

    I'm confused why AAA used different balls... was there a reason, or just tradition? Is it because they have extra-small stadiums that have short distances to the outfield wall?
  9. Danchat
    I'd put some feelers out now, and see what relievers might be available. I would probably wait until June before getting into serious trade talks - I'd rather not wait until the end of July, but I think now is a bit early. By June we may also need another starter.
  10. Danchat
    Is this a permanent promotion for Smeltzer? If so, then both of the prospects we got for Dozier are in AAA, so you can't say they aren't far off.
  11. Danchat
    Didn't we do this in May of 2015? Didn't we have the best record in baseball at one point then?
  12. Danchat
    Getting 3 of 4 against the Astros in incredibly impressive. Maybe we'll meet again in the playoffs...? The thing about playing great in the spring is that teams cool off during the summer and don't end up doing anything in the playoffs. I hope we can continue this momentum forward!
  13. Danchat
    Boy, what an inning the 4th was! I'm really loving this offense! This team feels like it's legitimately good... and it's been a long, long time since I had a feeling like this.
  14. Danchat
    If Perez could be a big success story for the Twins... that'd be huge for the rotation, and great for the organization - it'd be great if the Twins could start to be known as a team that can fix pitchers.
  15. Danchat
    He probably stole the base right as you finished typing that!
  16. Danchat
    I was going to ask the same thing. His swing didn't look right last night, so hopefully he had a good round of batting practice before getting put into the lineup.
  17. Danchat
    Magill was awful in spring training (had an ERA of 9-10, somewhere in that range) and had peripherals in 2018 suggesting he was ripe for regression. I can't say I'm surprised if he doesn't look so good now. Romero and Magill were the AAA reinforcements, and there's really not much left there to call up. Jake Reed is certainly worth a call-up, but the FO seems firmly opposed to giving him a chance. Other than that, they should probably be scouring waivers and looking for a potential trade if you're looking to bolster the pen, because our minors don't have much that's going to help this squad anytime soon.
  18. Danchat
    He had a good first week of the season, but he's earned his 8.74 ERA thus far. He's consistently struggling to throw strikes. I'm not advocating for his DFA yet, and it's nice that he can go multiple innings, but he's looked brutal over several stretches thus far.
  19. Danchat
    This may be bad for our run differential, but might as well get this out of the way in a game that we weren't gonna win in the first place.
  20. Danchat
    I was big on Mejia being a success in the bullpen... looks like I was wrong, big time!
  21. Danchat
    You know who else in the Miami bullpen right now? Yep, it's everyone's favorite, Tyler Kinley! He's got a 3.21 ERA with 10.9 K/9. He does have a 1.50 WHIP, though. I didn't expect him to be in the majors after his disaster with the Twins last year, but we know how it works, once you leave the Twins organization, things usually well for players.
  22. Danchat
    It's good to see Gibby get deep into a game like this. Hopefully he's starting to get his groove back.
  23. Danchat
    Methinks they think Gonzalez is a much better defender at 3B than Astudillo is. Your argument makes more sense to me, but they appear to love Marwin at 3B over anybody else.
  24. Danchat
    And that's why we should never use fielding percentage to judge how good a fielder is!
  25. Danchat
    Eh, it's one bad game, plus I think Alcala is going to end up in the bullpen in the majors. That's just my hunch.
