    He does have a good arm strength-wise, but his accuracy can be atrocious at times. He consistently missed the cut-off man at least 8-10 times last season.
  2. Danchat
    It's not a Twins game without the pitching immediately allowing runs after the offense scores.
  3. Danchat
    Jinx: Somewhat effective?

    Dozier with RISP: .197 with .590 OPS

    Gibson's a better hitter than Wilson... than again basically everyone in the MLB is.

    This Nate Orf guy is a 28 year old rookie who's never had an MLB AB in his career. He was hitting .307 with .875 OPS at AAA - I'm interested to see if he'll hit against the Twins.
  7. Danchat
    We don't have control of Gibson in 2020, so it's really just the 2019 season you're risking without Gibson.
  8. Danchat
    Adrianza has been one of this team's better players, so I hope it's not some phantom injury putting him on the DL. He's certainly not getting DFA'd either.
  9. Danchat
    Berardino is reporting Littell is coming up as a long reliever. It makes sense to bring up a guy who can throw multiple innings, hopefully he’s more prepared this time around.
  10. Danchat
    Even after some rough innings, Magill has an ERA of 3.00, a WHIP of 0.967, and a K/9 of 8.7. If I'm the Cleveland Indians, I'm not letting this guy get through waivers. He'd be much better than Josh Tomlin (8.19 FIP, 1.467 WHIP, 5.4 K/9).
  11. Danchat
    Magill's out of options and it's possible he gets claimed, if you're OK with that.

    No More Rebuilds!

    How can you call the Nunez-Mejia trade "not very good"? Oh, you mean for the Giants, right? It's far too early to call Mejia a failure - the Giants got 2 months out of Nunez for Mejia, how was that a better trade? And how was the Nolasco/Santiago trade a failure? Alex Meyer was no longer a prized prospect and his shoulder went kaput - he's probably going to miss all of both the 2018 and 2019 seasons with the same surgery that virtually ended Glen Perkins' career. The Twins at least got Busenitz out of that trade, who may not amount to much, but losing Meyer has not harmed the Twins.

    Alright, here's a shot: Activate Polanco, call up Duffey and Moya. DFA Morrison (Polanco gets 40 man spot), DFA Belisle, Option Rogers to AAA. The bullpen is restricted because only Hildenberger and Rogers have options to be sent to AAA, and Molly seems to trust those two - they've never been demoted to AAA before. I wouldn't be surprised if somebody (a pitcher) hits the DL to open up a spot.
  14. Danchat
    Wow, I never saw this becoming a one run game. So much bad pitching... Good to finally see Garver’s bat come to life. Of course, they'll probably still lose it because it is a one run game.
  15. Danchat
    I do think these higher temperatures have increased the hitting a little bit more than normal, but that's not an excuse for our pitchers. I think both teams would give up a couple less runs with cooler conditions, so we'd still be getting swept.
  16. Danchat
    I don't get how the Twins have 6 hits to Chicago's 7 hits but have 1 run to 8 runs. The Cubs have been unbelievably good in RISP situations so far.
  17. Danchat
    From what I understand, from this point forward, if the Cubs try to score more runs, it's going to offend Molitor. Unless they hit solo HRs, of course.
  18. Danchat
    I think we're going to need Romero back in the rotation. Maybe it's time we made Lynn the long reliever, just like we were thinking about a month or two ago.
  19. Danchat
    Being a NL-only pitcher before today, you'd think Lynn would be better against teams like this...
  20. Danchat
    It baffles me why the Twins didn't call up any fresh relievers. It wasn't hard to see coming that they were going to need some today, and just in case of a bad start... hopefully Magill is ready to go another 3 innings today.
  21. Danchat
    Wow, Lester is not a good career hitter... I think we're back to bad Lynn. Where's the puking smiley? Also, that's another reason not to bunt and give the Twins a free out. I mean, there's really no way to anticipate Lester hitting a HR there but still, when you swing away, good things happen.
  22. Danchat
    Isn't that on the coaching staff to motivate the players? Plus Morrison is in a contract year, so you'd think he'd be motivated...
  23. Danchat
    I always expect the Twins to leave the bases loaded, so it never surprises me to see stuff like that happen.
  24. Danchat
    Well, it’s clear their philosophy is to overuse relievers and not bring up fresh arms when needed. I don’t see our bullpen holding up for the next few days... Also, Astudillo doesn’t seem to be here as a backup catcher - I wonder if Polanco will take his roster spot tomorrow, in that case. I’m interested to see how good he is defensively. Maybe they could DFA Grossman to get Polanco up, that’d open a 40 man spot as well. I do like that Cave is starting every day over LaMarre. Might as well play the guy with a little potential over the non-prospect.
  25. Danchat
    I wonder if the Twins aren’t making any roster moves? They could really use a fresh arm in the bullpen...
