    Here comes Belisle with the bases loaded and 1 out... Molly's way of saying "challenge accepted!"
  2. Danchat
    Yeah, he's been brutal since the break ended. I guess his hot streak is already over...
  3. Danchat
    Solid 5 innings from Mejia - I think we can get one more from him. Then let's get Magill from out of the black hole he fell in and knock some rust off.
  4. Danchat
    Great PA by Morrison there... it's nice to finally see something good from him.
  5. Danchat
    That seemed like a better opportunity for a 'Stranger Things' reference than a 'Dr. Strange' one .
  6. Danchat
    Good recap, Nick. It's been announced that Ervin will be starting the Wednesday game in Toronto, and it's likely Mejia will be heading back to AAA after his start tomorrow instead of sticking around for another start in Boston.
  7. Danchat
    We need to get Matt Magill's picture on some milk cartons or he's never going to be found. The dude has pitched 8 times since the start of June... after pitching 11 times in May. Hopefully some trades will be coming soon just to keep things interesting.

    LaMonte Wade's had a very good season and has hit well at both AA and AAA. The dude's nearly at .400 OBP at AAA this season in 201 PAs - he's ready to be promoted. He's a better version of Grossman.

    I imagine Cave is probably getting benched for the next day or so... of course, only rookies will be punished for making dumb plays and striking out too much.

    Duke's 3.31 ERA looks nice and dandy, but his 1.585 WHIP is getting even higher after allowing 2 baserunners and getting just 2 outs. Duke hasn't given up a HR yet so that's saved his statline.
  11. Danchat
    Well, there's another solid 6 inning outing by Odorizzi, and that's about the best you'll get from him. Time for the bats to shape up and take the lead.
  12. Danchat
    I was going to mention this earlier, but it's too bad the Twins couldn't have found a rule 5 draft pick like Brad Keller, especially when they had the 1st overall pick in the Rule 5 draft in the 16-17 offseason.
  13. Danchat
    Many here have argued that pinning your hopes in rookies and prospects is foolish, and signing veterans to fill areas of weakness is the way to go. I believe that there needs to be a happy medium - you need to develop prospects and push them into starting roles but you also need to supplement the core with free agents. Unfortunately, the free agency approach went about as poorly as possible, with Morrison, Lynn, Reed, and Odorizzi (trade, but still a veteran) all having their career worst seasons. With that and a general failure to develop prospects over the years, I think the root problem is that the water is tainted. What I mean by that metaphor is that something in our "system" - whether it be development, coaches, something in between - is causing players to fail. I don't know enough to tell you what specifically it is, but I can't believe that the 2016 and 2018 Twins teams are as bad as they are due to a lack of talent, like the 2011-2014 teams were.
  14. Danchat
    BTW, Astudillo is being optioned to AAA and Morrison is being activated. Hopefully Logan will either hit or be sent packing as I'd really rather see anyone else get PAs. I imagine Motter gets DFA'd next when Santana is activated to be the 5th starter. Mejia comes to start, actually.
  15. Danchat
    I spoke too soon... about a minute too soon. I like our chances better now!
  16. Danchat
    It’s looking like it. Too bad we aren’t the Mariners.
  17. Danchat
    None of them include going more than 6 innings.
  18. Danchat
    Yeah, it stinks that we gave up two runs there, but the offense had plenty of chances to hit in some more runs and the pitching could have prevented some. The game was certainly not over when they happened.
  19. Danchat
    We've seen it time and time again from this FO? From what we know, Falvey/Levine have made zero efforts to extend Dozier and I think I can say with relative confidence that they don't want him back. I believe there's a high chance he's traded by/on July 31st.
  20. Danchat
    I meant the very day of the 31st - I'd be fine if we saw a few trades within the next week, just so we can spread the news out throughout the week and not cram everything into the 31st.
  21. Danchat
    Dozier and his likewise .227 batting average and more disappointing RISP PAs tonight are hurting just as much. Another one run loss... I'm not sure we'll win another game by 1 run until 2019.
  22. Danchat
    Nah, let's wait 10 more days to confirm what we already know. I'm confident the Twins FO is selling and has been for a couple weeks and we'll see them move some guys when we get close to the deadline. Teams like to wait until they're right up at the deadline on the 31st, and I'll bet at least one Twin will be traded that day.
  23. Danchat
    Yikes. Busenitz isn't looking very good.
  24. Danchat
    Looks like Gibby's having a Odorizzi-esque start today. 58 pitches to get 8 outs.
  25. Danchat
    I am to understand that the "hit" that scored two runs was yet another should-have-been error? Boy, the official scorers have been terrible at their job this season.
