    OK, so Alcala's seemingly fine on the injury front. I'm thinking he's going to end up in the bullpen in the majors, at least that's the impression I got when I read some scouting reports. And Larnach getting promoted is good news too, hopefully we can see him have a similar trajectory as Rooker has had so far. AA next year, perhaps? And boy, Royce Lewis just continues to rake. So glad the Twins took this guy even though nobody thought he was worth the first overall pick - except for the front office, and that's all that matters.

    Activate Magill, DFA Belisle. This better be what happens tomorrow. Also, Bauer simply looks dominant and the Indian hitters are good when they need to be. I don't know if Cleveland's going to be able to take down Houston in the playoffs (if that's how the seeding plays out), but they should be able to give him a difficult time. Even with the guys we traded away, Cleveland's easily better.

    I agree with your approach, but it's still on the FO that their acquisitions mostly failed. They made smart moves and they didn't work - at least they didn't sign Darvish or give Cobb a 4 year deal - instead, we have plenty of cap and none paid to Morrison or Lynn. They need to do better next year in free agency but I think they have the right idea. IMO it might be a "players who come to the Twins stink and play better for other teams" problem, but that's just a theory of mine.
  4. Danchat
    Wait, so if the Twins gave Dozier an extension you think he'd play better this season? I highly doubt that.
  5. Danchat
    Solid first PA for Field. I'd like to see more contact like that.
  6. Danchat
    I found it funny that Encarnacion hit a foul ball so deep it hit the "HOME" in the HOME RUN PORCH sign. Also, we might just be witnessing our final Twins outing for Belisle. Fingers crossed.
  7. Danchat
    He needs to be playing LF and RF and he'll be fine. I'm thinking playing Kepler in CF would be a better idea.
  8. Danchat
    Here's hoping the Indians can score enough runs off Belisle to get him DFA'd. Oh, good, a home run!
  9. Danchat
    Cimber being bad shouldn't be a surprise - he's a 27 year old rookie who was never considered to have MLB-caliber stuff. He's the type of arm that only really works at Petco Park.
  10. Danchat
    I'd probably say Romero was the last exciting call up. How about Granite and his spectacular .527 OPS in AAA this season? Field is a boring call up, but if you're going to claim him, you might as well use the guy. With Wade hurt he's seemingly the best option.
  11. Danchat
    I love ya, Ervin, but I think Romero needs your rotation spot. He needs to learn how to beat MLB hitting and I'm not sure he'll be able to learn that in AAA. Twins rookie starters seem to need to take their lumps before they take off.
  12. Danchat
    Sano is trending the right direction and I think Polanco is finally solidifying himself as a starting MLB SS. Mejia looks like he might stick as a starter in the rotation, and that's huge. Trevor May and Matt Magill might be able to carve out roles in the bullpen - that's another plus for the 2019 season. So far, things aren't so bad even though we traded 20% of the 25 man roster away. But can we please end the Belisle experiment? Please?! If you're going to try and figure out Oliver Drake, fine, but get rid of Belisle and work on another AAA reliever. We're figuring out things about May, Magill, and Moya so far, and we need to do that with more of the AAA guys.
  13. Danchat
    Too bad Wade's hurt, this would be the perfect opportunity for him to premier. Let's see... Field would be a logical choice... oh, and Zack Granite exists and is on the 40 man, but his abominable .527 OPS probably keeps him from being an option.
  14. Danchat
    Wow. Rodney's saves always go down to the wire, don't they?
  15. Danchat
    I think the Royals would have a tie game if Merrifield doesn't try to steal. Oh, and that Duda shift is ridiculous.
  16. Danchat
    We're making the league's worst offense look competent today...
  17. Danchat
    Uh, I don't think he was pitching very well. He had just given up a run and he's giving up a lot of hits, so I think bringing in Moya was a good idea.
  18. Danchat
    I like this Cave guy. I think he's going to be a good player and we've got him under control for quite a while...
  19. Danchat
    ...and it's being delayed. It's supposed to rain all night, so we probably won't get this one in.
  20. Danchat
    Wow, I didn't think they'd finish the game today. Well, it's off to bed with me.
  21. Danchat
    Nope, it's 12:22AM and the game's still going. They haven't won yet!
  22. Danchat
    With all the contact Sano's been making lately, I'm feeling better about the rest of the season for him... perhaps he's figured out the pitch recognition problem.
  23. Danchat
    Well, there you go, they're playing again. They'll probably finish the game at 12:30.
  24. Danchat
    Yeah, I don't care for giving Odorizzi, who's basically a #5 starter or long reliever, around $8M next season.
  25. Danchat
    Looks like it's gonna be another 5 inning, 2 run outing from Odorizzi, or something really close to that.
