  1. Wow, what an insane game! It's not good that Romero gave up 4 of those runs, though. What a bloodbath of offense!
  2. Raley being on the 40 man next year will be fine, depending on the way he develops at AAA. He could be on the team in September. Smeltzer and the other guys who will need to be on the 40 man roster soon will hopefully be traded for some players to help the MLB squad around the trade deadline. It makes sense to me to use some of the ammo we got in last year's trades to help the team down the stretch in 2019.
  3. The retractable roof isn't going to change the fact that it's 40 degrees outside.
  4. I totally forgot Smeltzer was part of the Dozier trade. I see Devin hasn't had a great minor league track record, but perhaps he'll start putting things together this year. And with Raley starting to build up momentum, getting this for 2 months of Dozier was quite the deal.
  5. Watching Jose Ramirez attempt to bunt and waste pitches made more of me die. Most of these guys can't bunt, and when they attempt to, they usually can't get him down the 3rd base line. Maybe if they could be bothered to learn how to bunt...
  6. Maybe Duffey? Or wait... They’ll get Matt Belisle out of retirement!!
  7. Wow, 0 for 29 with 15 strikeouts? That’s just incredible, and they keep trotting him out there. That’s another reason why I don’t like fully guaranteed contracts, as Davis has no motivation to get better.
  8. I didn’t see his pitch speeds, but he gave up 7 runs and didn’t make it out of the 4th inning...
  9. Regarding Cruz, I imagine there's got to be some reason why he hasn't hit that we don't know... he's probably our best hitter, so this is quite baffling.
  10. Well, it appears none of our pitchers can throw strikes...
  11. Well, after today's performance, I'll bet the fans have had a long enough look, at least for now.
  12. Well, this was the perfect situation for a LOOGY to get a big out, the problem is that he forgot how to throw strikes. Now they certainly need long reliever(s).
  13. Well, that was embarrassing. Sure, Baldelli probably shouldn't have went to Vasquez at this point, but Odorizzi and Hildenberger also forgot how to throw strikes, and it's on the pitchers to at least be able to throw pitches across the plate. I had referred to a lack of bullpen depth before Opening Day, noting that there weren't many guys worth calling up. We could desperately use a few more arms (though we'll likely be getting Reed/McGill/Moya back at some point in the future).
  14. Vasquez can't hit the side of a barn, either. The lefty-lefty matchup made sense, but yikes. He can't hit the strike zone to save his life.
  15. This is a pretty huge out for Vasquez, especially in his first game this year.
  16. Well, Odorizzi looks much sharper than his last time. That's nice to see after an abysmal start last week.
  17. There is no need to DFA De Jong, as he has an option. Vazquez does not need his 40 man spot.
  18. Y'know, I'm happy De Jong didn't let this happen in a game where it might have possibly mattered. And now it's as clear as day he shouldn't be pitching in the majors for quite a while, and hopefully will be sent back to AAA.
  19. The Twins have a dangerous lineup this year, and Cruz wasn't even in the lineup today. Hopefully they can maintain this offense ability.
  20. Mejia doesn't seem up for this, he's struggling out there. This would be a nice time to bring out one of those relievers that I wanted the Twins to sign in free agency but they didn't... get a Nick Vincent/Brad Brach/Bud Norris out there in the "early" late innings of close games.
  21. Harper's pitched in 3 games thus far.
  22. Yeah, it's him or Adrianza, and so that's a pretty easy choice.
  23. deGrom is reeking of Pelfrey right now, he just gave the lead back up!
