    I guess he's gotta make up for his defensive gaffes. That makes him the perfect "not good enough to win games but also not bad enough to get DFA'd" guy.
  2. Danchat
    Sometimes I forget how much negative value Grossman brings to this team. But it doesn't take much to remember.
  3. Danchat
    I love the format, Respy. Good work.
  4. Danchat
    That's one heck of an outing by Carrasco. Too bad we were on the receiving end of it...
  5. Danchat
    Suddenly I'm not feeling so good about reaching .500 by the end of the season. Or maybe "sudden" isn't the right word for it...

    Dialed in = 12 outs, 10 baserunners and 3 runs?

    Just wanted to do a summary of the Twins who have been traded away up to this point: Dozier: .232/.366/.415 (.781 OPS) Escobar: .289/.343/.500 (.843 OPS) Lynn: 26 IP, 3.81 ERA / 2.04 FIP, 1.346 WHIP, 2.8 BB/9 & 11.4 K/9 Duke: 6.2 IP, 8.10 ERA / 6.45 FIP, 1.8 WHIP, 5.4 BB/9 & 4.1 K/9 Pressly: 10.2 IP, 1.69 ERA / 2.03 FIP, 0.56 WHIP, 0 BB/9 & 11.8 K/9 Rodney: 8 IP, 0.00 ERA / 2.53 FIP, 0.750 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 & 7.9 K/9 Dozier's hitting just .192 in the last 15 games with 0 HRs, so he's still the same streaky guy he was here. Duke looks pretty bad in the SSS and Pressly, Rodney, and Lynn are all doing well.

    Whoops, that's what I meant. Darn prepositions!

    Worth noting:
  10. Danchat
    Can we get Mauer/Rosario/Polanco to hit right behind Austin? It'd be nice to turn these moonshots into multi-run HRs. Methinks the Yankees should have given him more of a chance at 1B, with Greg Bird hitting .199 with decent power. Yes, I know I sound like Austin's dad right, but right now it's sure looking like the Yanks could have used him.
  11. Danchat
    Wow, Austin has sure clicked with the Twins. Couldn't the Yankees use a guy at 1B...?
  12. Danchat
    Yeah, even though he's struggled a little, he's still throwing some great pitches and hasn't walked anybody. The pitch count is higher than you'd like it, but if his is a bad start from him, I'll take it.
  13. Danchat
    Molly is never going to trust rookies when they pitch like this...
  14. Danchat
    Nice throw from Cave, there! The runner had no business going to third, but still, gotta give credit where it's due.
  15. Danchat
    We finally get to see Astudillo catch... will we figure out why Molly refused to have him catch at all during his first stint?
  16. Danchat
    If they could trade Forsythe, maybe they could call up Zander Wiel? He just capped off a great season at AA and they'll need to add him to the 40 man roster over the offseason, so maybe they could try him out in September.
  17. Danchat
    If we could see more 7 inning outings from Odorizzi, then I'd be on board bringing him back next season. Still, the bullpen found a way to implode in his longest start of the year. Time for Addison to hit the DL and see if he can come back for next season at full strength.
  18. Danchat
    Gameday has been melting down a lot lately. MLB.com needs to get on their game!
  19. Danchat
    My thoughts on Mauer are mixed... he's a great OBP hitter who is constantly getting on base, but he has no speed. He's a fantastic defender, but he brings almost zero power. He's also incredibly clutch (RISP), but he's almost always going to hit singles. I would be fine going either way with him. I'd be fine if they looked for an upgrade, but if they're thinking the future is Austin/Rooker/Sano?, then I could see one more year of Mauer. He's not a great player at this point, probably more of a "good" one. It sounds like Mauer wants to play next season, so I think he'll be back. I don't know if he'll be playing 1B as often as many want him to, though...

    What's the deal about pulling Stewart? He was at 98 pitches and wasn't looking so great, so I thought it was a fine decision.
  21. Danchat
    I'm not sure why it'd be unpopular, as most here don't regard Stewart as much of a prospect. Methinks his only hope at being a MLB pitcher is in the bullpen, and that's what I was saying before any MLB starts.
  22. Danchat
    So... this Khris Davis guy is pretty good. And I certainly don't mean Chris Davis.
  23. Danchat
    Leading off with a Martini... that does not sound like a baseball phrase.
  24. Danchat
    The bullpen may be a hot mess now but we can’t say that for sure about 2019, so I can’t see how the trade was a ‘rookie mistake’.
  25. Danchat
    Wasn't it the freakish snowfall in the second week of April that threw everything off? Sure, I don't think starting earlier is a good idea, but you can't stop the crazy weather in April even if you push the schedule further down the calendar.
