    Yeah, Busenitz just doesn't look like he's got it in him to get MLB hitters out. I wouldn't be surprised if he was DFA'd at the end of the season/offseason... but at least they've given him a chance to prove that he can't.
  2. Danchat
    Boy, that Sanchez HR was hit from almost below his knees. He has some serious power, but not much contact from him this season.
  3. Danchat
    I'm not sure what happened to him, but something did happen because he was around his career velocity early and he was dominating. Unfortunately, it's looking like for the contract he has, the only value we got from him was 2 or so dominant months.
  4. Danchat
    Lopez has a career 6.31 ERA at AAA, by the way. Dick's comments about him dominating AAA are not true...
  5. Danchat
    It seems like Belisle and Duffey are having a competition to see who can give up more runs. Weird to think how Duffey was kicking butt in the rotation just 3 years ago and now he can't even get outs against a AAAA lineup in mop-up duty.
  6. Danchat
    Glad I'm not the only one who thought Anderson and Reed coming up should have been slam-dunks.
  7. Danchat
    Nice HR, Rosario, time to get that OPS back up.
  8. Danchat
    It also might have had something to do with facing the Astros lineup, which is quite the daunting task for any pitcher.
  9. Danchat
    The Twins are allowed to make trades... free agency is not their only option.
  10. Danchat
    Boy, I thought in my mind at the start of the third inning, "hey, Gonsalves has been pretty decent so far", and then I just checked back in. Glad I didn't post that thought earlier. Yikes. For even Twins rookies struggling, Gonsalves is now setting the bar that was already placed very high.
  11. Danchat
    I'm hoping he can be a MLB regular by 2020 and maybe he can come up and dominate unlike the rest of our prospects? I wasn't sure about this guy before this year, but wow, you can't help but appreciate those numbers.
  12. Danchat
    Why are the Astros getting a new reliever out for Gimenez? Just finish the game with Sipp...
  13. Danchat
    I don't have anything left to say about Belisle at this point. It's just plain obvious he isn't an MLB-caliber player anymore. Absolutely, and I've been one to defend Falvey & Levine, but some of their decisions have been inexplicable. I don't get how they traded for the future but continue to roll out guys who, to a even a common fan who knows little about the nuances of baseball, knows are terrible?
  14. Danchat
    Next September, if we're lucky.
  15. Danchat
    Well, it depends how the prospects pan out, and he certainly wasn't going to help this team go anywhere. Next year, though? Perhaps...
  16. Danchat
    Pressly with the revenge inning, striking out the side. Now that's the pitcher I thought he could be... And now time for the 8.31 ERA Tyler Duffey!!
  17. Danchat
    Bregman with his 3rd double of the game... he now passes Escobar with the lead in doubles in all the MLB.
  18. Danchat
    Well, for all the negatives about this game, Stewart threw some good innings against a really good offense. Kudos to you, Kohl!
  19. Danchat
    At this rate we're going to let Bregman surpass Escobar's lead for doubles! (just checked: they're tied at 45 now!)
  20. Danchat
    We'd have to hope the new FO would, because it'd be unlikely Bill Smith or TR would do something like that.
  21. Danchat
    Whoops, for some reason, this whole time I've thought Wiel was a 2B. That certainly puts a damper on Wiel's prospects as his numbers would be nice for a 2B but not quite as good for a 1B/corner OF.
  22. Danchat
    I would have liked to see Wiel get his first crack at the majors instead of see Petit again. I guess you can't have enough AAAA players on the roster...
  23. Danchat
    Wow, Wright was one of my favorite prospects from that class, and I didn't suspect he'd reach AAA and the majors in his first full year. That's of course because I'm used to Twins prospects struggling at some point... I really need to start following other teams' minor leagues and see how a functional system is supposed to work.
  24. Danchat
    They acquired something called "prospects" for all the players we traded away. Have you seen Tyler Austin play? He's looking pretty good. Would you rather have all those vets still here in that disastrous game yesterday and get nothing for them as they hit FA? I can't say I'm a huge fan of the front office but they did the right thing at the trade deadline.
  25. Danchat
    I agree but I'd rather see Cave play in LF or RF as he's a liability defensively in CF. He should be pushing Kepler for his job, or at least push Kepler to CF, where Max is decent.
