    Maybe they should have pinch-run Adrianza for Cave?
  2. Danchat
    Leaving more outs on the bases...
  3. Danchat
    The last two plays have been difficult to follow on MLB Gameday... no idea what just happened.
  4. Danchat
    Cave with the BABIP-defying hit there, here's a chance to tie things up.
  5. Danchat
    Well, that explains why some pitches seem to soar above Gameday's ceiling sometimes.

    I just dropped a quick new article on Twins Rookie Starters since 2010 if anyone's interested. I'm interested to see how Kopech does. I've heard some pretty good things about him.

    With Kohl Stewart and Stephen Gonsalves (Slegers and Littell too) struggling big-time with their first starts in the big leagues, it got me thinking about something I've thought of frequently since Berrios' 2016 season - how poorly Twins starters have done over the years. Here's a chart I whipped up of all Twins rookie starters since 2010: My thoughts: Alright... so Tyler Duffey was the only Twin rookie starter to be legitimately good over said campaign. The second best... seemed to have been Cole DeVries, somehow. Or Andrew Albers. Yikes. Of the most highly touted guys on the list, Gibson, May, Berrios, and Romero have all been some level of disappointing, though Romero was not that bad. It's crazy how much Gibson, May, and Berrios turned things around in year 2. See below: It's remarkable how well May and Berrios improved, especially cutting back on the walks. Here's hoping we can see similar results from Gonsalves and the crew in 2019. Any thoughts on Twins rookie starters? Any ideas why they're struggling so much, and why other teams' rookies [usually/sometimes] seemingly do better as rookies? P. S. - how are we only 2 years removed from the Pat Dean debacle?!

    Palka is next in line to get his revenge against the Twins after Goodrum. Though Mauer probably should have fielded that one.
  9. Danchat
    Yeah, he's got some stuff and he's getting outs. I'm not sure what his future with this team is, but he's pitching well, so I can't complain.
  10. Danchat
    Really? I'd never heard of the guy and I've never seen him on a prospect list. His numbers are pretty good though... But he probably won't be debuting 'til around 2022, so I guess the Yankees aren't trying to win until then, huh? /sarcasm
  11. Danchat
    Yeah, there we go Cave! We're within striking distance now!! How about these former Yankee prospects? Cave and Austin are looking pretty good!
  12. Danchat
    Seems like the second time this month Kepler barely missed a HR.
  13. Danchat
    Not a bad outing for Busenitz, as he finally got some swings and misses. Unfortunately the defense is giving out free runs today.
  14. Danchat
    Look, I don't want to be that 'hindsight' guy, but I wasn't clamoring for Gonsalves to come up for multiple reasons. I still think he can be an MLB pitcher but he needs a lot of work, and hopefully he'll get better after taking some lumps, like virtually all Twins rookie pitchers within the last 7-8 years (not named Duffey).
  15. Danchat
    Odorizzi should really return to the Rays and take the "opener" gig. He could consistently give you 3-4 solid innings of work. I'm looking forward to Gonsalves' debut tomorrow, here's hoping he'll pitch better than most Twins rookie starters do. I think it's time to end the Duffey experiment. I'd rather see Jake Reed or Nick Anderson get some mop-up innings. For the first time in a while I don't have many complaints about the bullpen, they finally got Moya, Busenitz, and May up to the majors.
  16. Danchat
    Nice way to ruin an inning by Molly. Pinch-runs the slow Adrianza and has him steal 2nd, easily getting caught, and somewhat forcing Mauer to swing there. Just keep Austin in the game and have Joe what he normally does...
  17. Danchat
    The Twins have faced 4 batters this inning and thrown 2 strikes. This is how we baseball!
  18. Danchat
    Guys, we're at 42 pitches for Odorizzi and he has 4 outs. Can we not bring him back next season as a starter? I liked the trade but the past few months have been disappointing. I'd rather roll with one of the young guns.
  19. Danchat
    More details on roster moves. Gonsalves will pitch Monday.
  20. Danchat
    Roster moves that should happen: Santana & Reed to DL, Stewart to AAA Gonsalves, Romero, and Busenitz/J. Reed/Curtiss called up. But I also know Grossman and Belisle (*gags*) are rehabbing, so Robbie will need a spot, but they aren't seriously going to put Belisle back on the MLB roster, are they?
  21. Danchat
    Reed is topping out at 89 MPH... not good. Oh and his face looks like it's going to melt.
  22. Danchat
    Mauer's just a triple shy of the cycle now. He's having quite the series so far.
  23. Danchat
    So how about send Stewart to AAA, Ervin to the DL, and call up Romero and Gonsalves?
  24. Danchat
    Well, I'm glad to see Joe read my post yesterday. Thanks for having more than one HR per month!
  25. Danchat
    He a had a small rough patch like many of the other relievers had, but he’s been mostly good this season. He’s a keeper. I wish more rookie relievers could latch on like did.
