    He actually had a great excuse, he was ejected back in the 5th inning. I'm pretty sure it was Shelton's call to bring Pressly in. Then again, Dick did say that Shelton is the one who provides Molly with data on strategic moves like bullpen calls, so I think we can connect the dots here.

    Cleveland just won, so we're 8.5 games back. I think it's time to stop thinking about winning the division, we'd do well just to finish in second place at this point.

    I just remembered we have a 9 man bullpen and we're using Pressly on back-to-back games down 5 runs...
  4. Danchat
    I thought we were joking about making Pressly's arm fall off, but clearly the team is intent that happening literally.

    Well, we've figured out what happens when the Eddies cool off. This atrocity. And as mentioned earlier, Mauer's been awful at the plate since his return. He's hit just .158 and when paired with zero power... it'd be a bigger problem if everyone else wasn't terrible. Not sure if Polanco's going to be able to take Adrianza's spot, as his bat has been surprisingly solid this season. He could probably DH the first week and take Morrison's PAs.

    That was a perfect summary of the Twins season. Rosario gets on base, ??? happens, bad RISP hitting, Twins somehow don't score.
  7. Danchat
    And now the inning has descended into madness. You can overturn a balk? Since when?
  8. Danchat
    And now Gene Glynn's been ejected?? What?
  9. Danchat
    Did I hallucinate that series against the Red Sox? I don't get this team.
  10. Danchat
    The White Sox hitters are looking really good right now. Hard to believe they're 24 games below .500, but perhaps it's more of us being so bad.
  11. Danchat
    That's why RISP can be a little deceiving - we hit .500 RISP in that inning and didn't get a run.
  12. Danchat
    It feels like it's been this way for the past 4-6 years for this team. They're sellers at the deadline but they don't have any good pieces to sell - again! I really wish this franchise would have hit the reset button a la Houston/several others 3-5 years back. We kept holding onto guys like Perkins, Dozier, Willingham, Santana because "we can't trade the only good players on the team!"
  13. Danchat
    Well, in that case, they did a fantastic job Year 1 turning the pathetic 2016 squad into a wild card contender in 2017. Year 2's been pretty bad, but I was a fan of their FA moves. Spending just $18.5M on Morrison and Lynn looked like a dream come true... but yeah things have been bad this year, and it's on them to fix things. I'll be interested to see how Year 3 goes. They'll be losing me if it trends in the direction of how Year 2 has gone.

    ...Why did the Sox use one reliever solely to get Cave out? Were they afraid to have Avilan face Adrianza?
  15. Danchat
    While I haven't been the biggest fans of what they've done, I think we should wait and see how their prospects turn out. I think it'd be unwise to give up on the new regime just 2 years in... I do agree with your opinion on Molitor, but since he got a 3 year deal so recently, I believe 2019 will be his make it or break it season.
  16. Danchat
    Pressly with the bases loaded and no outs? Challenge accepted!
  17. Danchat
    Well, Dozier is still a pretty decent player when there's nobody on base. It's just too bad that he hits around .150 in high leverage situations.
  18. Danchat
    I think it's time for Mejia to get called up and stay up for good. The problem is that if you want him to start on Friday, he'd be losing a day of rest, so Slegers might be the better fit to get that start.
  19. Danchat
    The Twins needed Petit's roster spot when they signed Belisle (* vomits *) and they had claimed Motter off waivers hoping they could do something with him. The Motter experiment will be over in about a week when Polanco returns, so I don't think there's any merit getting Petit back up here. We can bring him back up if another infielder gets injured.
  20. Danchat
    Ryan LaMarre has been optioned to AAA, I wonder if they'll call Buxton up? If not, it'd almost have to be Cave.
  21. Danchat
    Profar's standing so close to the plate that he had to swing directly downwards to try and hit that pitch. Great location on Rodney's pitch there.
  22. Danchat
    Rosario and Berrios deserve to be there, and you can make the argument for Escobar. I don't think the Twins are going to do so well in the polls, so they'll probably just get one guy in.
  23. Danchat
    They don't call errors anymore. Whenever there is any tiny way a play could be interpreted as a hit, they call it a hit even when it was obviously an error. Please never take fielding percentage seriously.
  24. Danchat
    I think we can safely say this baserunning issue is no longer under a small sample size and a "subjective" matter (as was raised on a previous topic). This is a legitimate problem that needs to be addressed.
  25. Danchat
    For anyone wondering, it's been 17 PAs since Bobby Wilson's last hit. How much longer are we going to put up with a catcher who hits .136?
