    It seems like we go nuts whenever Joe hits a home run, they're so rare. That's not necessarily a knock against him, and he is great in clutch situations. I'd just like to see him hit one out of the yard more than once a month.
  2. Danchat
    No-hitter over. But I still think I'd rather watch the Cleveland Browns preseason game over the Twins at this point.
  3. Danchat
    This is why I try not to make predictions anymore. We can all make educated guesses, but guessing what's going to happen in the future is a total crapshoot, even based off past data.
  4. Danchat
    Reed has been having a Ervin-like issue with velocity as well... here's hoping he can regain his lost velocity for next season.
  5. Danchat
    You stole my joke... Boy, this is some brutal baseball from Detroit. Yikes... have fun over there, Gardy.
  6. Danchat
    Ervin's ERA is at 8.03... this could reach Belisle levels if not quickly attended to.
  7. Danchat
    IMO it's been below average but I have yet to check fangraphs.
  8. Danchat
    This is the second start in a row that Erv is making a terrible offense look good. Time to put him on the DL and call it a season for him.
  9. Danchat
    Funny how many didn't like the Dozier trade because it included Forsythe. Now he's hitting .400 in his first 15-20 games or so... I'd like to see him keep getting PAs to see if this is real. His past two seasons have been awful, so I'm not going to quickly believe that he's turned a corner.

    I think Sano is going to be OK. Liriano is not.
  11. Danchat
    POOOOOOOOOOOOOLANCO!!!

    Santana makes me miss Lynn, and that's saying something. Here's hoping they can get Romero or Gonsalves up and take Ervin's starts because he's clearly cooked without his fastball in prime condition.

    If Rosie needs a day off, at least put Cave out there instead of Adrianza...
  14. Danchat
    I certainly don't see that in his stats from 2015-17 (4.56 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, 9.6 H/9, 1.4 HR/9) plus he's also coming off of Tommy John surgery, which can take a full year after rehab to gain top form. I think he's a 3 at best.

    This Thorpe guy looks like he could be something special. I'm impressed with his numbers at AA, especially the number of strikeouts he's gotten. At his age and level of experience, I think he'll need plenty of seasoning in AAA. You could also say that about a lot of other Twins starters who are on the fringe. I'm going to repost my list of 2019 Twins starters in the current pipeline ranked by arbitrary starter "numbers". #1: None #2: Berrios, Romero #3: Gibson (up from #4), Thorpe (new) #4: Odorizzi, Littell, Pineda, Gonsalves (down from #3), #5: Mejia, Stewart (new) AAAA: Slegers, others I really like the depth here. I'm so very glad we can be done with the likes of P. J. Walters, Cole DeVries, Adam Wilk, and Tim Melville. There's a lot of talent that could use MLB auditions like Gonsalves, Littell, Romero, and Mejia's out of options next year. I don't feel like all of these guys are going to get their chances... perhaps we could see one or two packaged in a trade along with other prospects over the offseason?
  16. Danchat
    I like some of these ideas, the problem is we have a manager who subscribes to the theory that there must be a designated closer on the team and they must pitch in a save situation every single time. I like the idea... Odorizzi could be a very good reliever and he's got the stuff to get a lot of K's in the 9th. At the moment I can see the team trying that out, though.
  17. Danchat
    Seeing Duffey pitch well and having Moya be decent... good thing we had Belisle pitch so many innings, right? I'd throw May's name in there but I guess he's the new Magill.
  18. Danchat
    It'd be a pretty big difference because this is Odorizzi's 151st career start and it'd be Stewart's first... huge difference. Odorizzi throws about 20 pitches an inning and guarantees at least 3 innings from the bullpen every time out, while Stewart would have the potential to improve from the start and get better adjusted to MLB hitting.

    He wasn't protected this last year and nobody took him, and I don't think he's done much to garner anyone's interest the second time around.
  21. Danchat
    Is Goodrum going to hit a grand slam here?
  22. Danchat
    It would be great to see Stewart pitch well, but the 2019 rotation looks pretty full on bodies (not top-end talent, mind you), and I really don't see him as a long-term starter, but I'd love to see it happen. Romero, Gonsalves, and Littell are likely all ahead of him as prospects...
  23. Danchat
    Wow, now that's a lineup... with as many singles as Forsythe has hit, it makes sense to have him lead off. But Field as the 6th hitter?! And why is Cave still hitting 9th?
  24. Danchat
    It'll be interesting to see how'll close. May's getting the 8th, let's see if he can thrive in high leverage situations.
  25. Danchat
    Great to see Austin with a HR in his first game as a Twin. I'm interested to see if he'll be able to stay in the lineup and keep himself in the mix for the 1B job next season. He's definitely got the power...
