    It's nice to see some good baserunning for a change.
  2. Danchat
    Too bad the Twins couldn't get more runs off Snell those first two innings. He doesn't look right... that 2.09 is hard to believe.
  3. Danchat
    Yup, that's our Twins for ya! At least we got their ace to throw 30 pitches, but now the game's probably going to end at 1am.
  4. Danchat
    That's a good question, I have no idea. Molitor is set on Wilson being the starter catcher for whatever reason and he doesn't seem keen to penciling Garver in the lineup that much.

    Interesting how the Rays have played so well even with having many proven veterans (Longoria, Odorizzi, Dickerson, Morrison, Cobb) gone. They only have one guy over the age of 33. Maybe playing the young guys isn't such a bad idea... right, Twins?
  6. Danchat
    Are they still thinking about playing a game today?
  7. Danchat
    I dunno, these players with low BABIP are hitting into the shift and making weak contact. Kepler and Morrison both fall into that category in my opinion - I can see him maintaining their low BABIP.
  8. Danchat
    True, but I’ve heard players with an all star appearance on their resume command bigger deals. I wonder how true that is.

    I imagine many are going to complain that Littell should be behind Thorpe. Littell's two stints in the majors has probably a bad taste in their mouths... I can't blame them, though, he looked rough. I expect Rooker to finish the season at AAA. I don't think he's quite ready for a MLB call-up in September - I'd rather leave him off the 40 man roster until 2019 and he's in his first full year of minor league baseball (though it should be his only full year of minors if all goes right).
  10. Danchat
    If the comparison is 2017 Vargas against 2018 Morrison, then it's easily Vargas. However, with the way Vargas has played at AAA in 2018, it's difficult to say. I think Vargas would be a little better batting average wise but he'd be taking less walks and more strikeouts than Logan.
  11. Danchat
    0 for 2. He's a good hitter with nobody on the bases, but he hits like 2017 Logan Morrison when there's guys in scoring position. Recalling conversations last year about trading him at the deadline... from what we knew, teams weren't offering very much. The demand for 2B does seem to be higher this year, but I still don't expect to get much for him.
  12. Danchat
    An already lost season for Reed has gotten even more... lost.
  13. Danchat
    They're using Hammel as a reliever for the first time this year here? Huh... weird. Can't say I'm envious of their rotation.
  14. Danchat
    I don't think he's going to be very effective if he can't hit 93-94 MPH. I don't know what he was hitting at Chattanooga, but if he's topping out at 90, he's not going to strike out many guys in the majors... I think it'd be better to give him some more time rehabbing and get Romero back in the rotation.
  15. Danchat
    Well, against the odds, Belisle is getting outs. I still don't really see his purpose on this team as I'd rather see younger relievers take these innings... unless they plan on having him on next year's roster? Hopefully not.
  16. Danchat
    I wonder if Wade is going to arrive this year. He's doing well at AAA, but Cave seems to have solidified himself a spot on the MLB roster for now and I think Buxton will be back within the next month. Maybe we'll see him in September? Having both he and Cave should make for some nice depth for our outfield.
  17. Danchat
    Well, it's probably good nobody took Diaz in the Rule 5 draft, huh? Don't think he would have looked very good in the majors.
  18. Danchat
    And that's why Dozier shouldn't be your #3 hitter. He can't hit guys across the plate.
  19. Danchat
    That was a great appearance from Rogers. I'll take 7 outs with 1 baserunner any day.
  20. Danchat
    There's a great example of Dozier's bad RISP hitting and Escobar's excellent RISP hitting. It's crazy how different those two are with guys in scoring position.
  21. Danchat
    Well, they sent him down for a reliever, then Mejia, then Slegers. But your point is correct, it's time to get him back up here. He'll be better than Odorizzi and Lynn, that's for sure. Oh, and the Royals haven't scored 6 or more runs in a game in the last 30 games?! Holy cow, this team's bad. Too bad we've got to burn our bullpen against them.
  22. Danchat
    Maybe now's a good time to mention that I've insisted that Slegers profiles as a long reliever and not even as a 5th starter? Oof, another XBH. We're gonna be seeing Magill pretty soon.
  23. Danchat
    Well... whoops.
  24. Danchat
    Probably not much, everybody knows he's going to hit 20+ solo HRs a year.
  25. Danchat
    Yeah, I'm not trading Romero - I thought we were going to try and win in 2019 & 2020? He has the potential to be really, really good and the Twins need all the high-end pitching they can get. I'd be fine with moving prospects like Kiriloff and Graterol but I'm not trading a guy who should be a key to our short term success.
