  1. With the way his last 5 appearances went (0 runs allowed) he's probably earned the rest of the season in Molitor's book.
  2. Maybe now's a good time to remind Molitor that 2017 Belisle was a much better pitcher after at least one day of rest and his worst outings came when he had pitched the previous day...
  3. While Grossman's pinch-hitting worked very well, his defensive abilities have cost the Twins big time. He's simply too much of a liability defensively - even Granite could have probably thrown further than that.
  4. Classic Twins pitching - immediately give up the lead the half inning after you get it.
  5. I don't understand why you'd intentionally walk a guy who's gone 0 for 3 and is bad in RISP situations for a guy who's having a great year and is an exceptional RISP hitter. The Rays are paying for their bad decision.
  6. The Rays did get ripped by that "foul tip" by Adrianza, but give some credit to the Eddies, that's some clutch hitting there. This offense is alive again!
  7. Why are they pinch hitting Grossman for Cave? I know Grossman's been hitting well lately but that seems like a bad call to sub him for Cave... especially when Wilson's up next.
  8. Escobar was the one who struck out, but gameday thought it was Dozier, so the program thinks it's still in that inning with 2 outs... it must have recorded the previous play with the error wrong.
  9. He should definitely be able to throw an inning.
  10. It's pretty clear from how the lineups have worked this season that Joe needs a lot of time off. Just ask Chief, he's probably got a count going of how many times Mauer has DH'd instead of played 1B.
  11. Agreed, I think many aren't seeing the Moustakas deal as an outlier like I think they should be. I think Dozier gets $10M a year at the minimum... I think he'll get $13-15M a year but not for too long (3 years). With the demand for 2B seemingly on the up compared to the last previous two years, I can see Dozier landing a nice deal.
  12. Looks like another good day for the prospects. Rooker and Jeffers keep hitting, and Gonsalves is trending the right direction. I'd like to see Gonsalves get some starts near the end of the year to prepare him for the 2019 season where I can see him trying to crack the rotation.
  13. It would be great if Cave turned out to be a really good player and could figure as a replacement to Aaron Hicks.
  14. Robbie's bat has come to life in the last couple weeks. I still don't think he's much more than a bench bat but he's no longer a DFA candidate in my book. With all of these hitters rebounding, I wonder if this is bad news for Morrison when he gets back.
  15. Uh, no. I like Moya, but he's had a hard time in the majors and Rogers has been pretty solid.
  16. It's classic Molitor for you. When it's a veteran, he's going to get every chance to prove himself. If it's a young gun, he's gone the first sign of struggles. That's why Romero is in AAA right now and Odorizzi's here.
  17. Gotta be honest, I hate the Yankees so much I'd rather see the Indians win even though we're chasing them.
  18. That was a pretty good play, but I know Fangraphs and other places rank him as one of the worst defensive infielders. I can't say for sure, but he doesn't make dumb mistakes. I do think his range is below average.
  19. Apparently he has 2 options left, according to roster resource.
  20. The Rays are looking like the 2018 first half Twins...
  21. Something seems a bit off with Odorizzi... but this pitch count is pretty low for where he usually is.
  22. Too bad these games only count as one win - boy, does this feel good. I think it's safe to say Eovaldi's trade value has been dented... it seems like Snell and Eovaldi drank some bad water or something.
  23. I'm all for having both on the team for the foreseeable future. Cave as the 4th OF would be a very nice thing to have.
  24. Great stuff so far, I just wish this offense would have showed up at least a month ago. Before the point where we'd need to win 65% of our games to make the playoffs.
  25. Is our old offense back? Snell and Eovaldi haven't been slouches this year.
