    Wow, when Berrios' breaking ball works, he's got the look of a true ace. Now let's hope he can keep that pitch count down and prevent the bullpen from getting involved too early.
  2. Danchat
    Good point, Colon does have a crazy low 1.3 BB/9. Trying to draw walks from him is a bad strategy...
  3. Danchat
    Man, our offense is already bad enough, you might as well go down swinging against Colon. Hoping for good calls on borderline pitches like Grossman and Kepler just did is dumb. BTW, Grossman has no power, has no defensive position, and his OBP skills have eroded. Why do we need him on the roster? Veteran-ness?
  4. Danchat
    To me it looked like he lost count and thought that was strike 2.
  5. Danchat
    I’m seeing it’s supposed to rain until 6/7... we going to see a game today? On one hand I want to see Colon today but I would also like to avoid facing this Texas team on a 7 game winning streak.

    So does that mean Romero is back to being a prospect now that he's headed to AAA? Did he hit that certain inning threshold? Good stuff from Kiriloff, it's great to see him play so well after not playing at all in 2017. I think he's going to be a very good player in the majors, I'm just not sure the Twins are the right team to develop him... their track record with outfield prospects panning out just isn't that good. Hopefully Gordon can have more of these 3 for 4 games and force his way to the majors at some point. I would like to see him get some MLB experience under his belt so he can potentially make the 2019 roster.

    I agree with you, but I sort of doubt that's the case. There's no guarantee Mejia will be the guy they call up and I don't think the FO/Molitor is worried about that sort of thing (even though they should be).
  8. Danchat
    Darren Wolfson is reporting Busenitz is coming up. It's about time.
  9. Danchat
    But if it's about his inning limit, why not move him to the bullpen in the majors? He could be a big help there.
  10. Danchat
    All of the MLB replacements are pitchers in AAA for us. Ryan LaMarre, Taylor Motter, and probably Robbie Grossman should be playing in AAA as potential replacements.
  11. Danchat
    W-What? Why? I know Romero hasn't been very good in his past few starts, but not as bad as Odorizzi and why does Belisle need to be on this team? I've usually refrained from saying Falvey/Levine = Terry Ryan but man, we're getting there. Zero trust in these rookies... I guess we'll just lose trotting out the same veterans. Blech.
  12. Danchat
    Yikes... Texas is clearly hot right now (7 straight wins), but something's wrong with Odorizzi. First 11 starts: 3.34 ERA Last 5 starts: 9.90 ERA Maybe a trip to the DL would help? As a professional armchair GM, here's the moves I would make: DFA Belisle, Wilson, Grossman. DL Odorizzi if something is wrong with him. Call up Busenitz, Rupp (added to 40 man), Cave, and Duffey (if Odor on DL). When Odorizzi's spot in the rotation comes around again, option Duffey back for Mejia/Slegers (whoever's rested at that point). Other: Morrison is nearing the point where I would give up on him. He's getting DFA'd / traded for cash in a couple weeks if he isn't hitting better. Motter will be DFA'd when Polanco arrives.
  13. Danchat
    he’s standing very close to home plate and twins pitchers are throwing a lot of balls... he’s only had 6 HBPs this year so I’m not sure what’s up.
  14. Danchat
    That’s HBP #3 for Profar...
  15. Danchat
    Realist
  16. Danchat
    Gonsalves isn’t ready yet, unless you’d like to watch him walk two guys an inning. I do think Mejia is ready.
  17. Danchat
    Bleh, maybe I shouldn’t have went to this game. Odorizzi’s been mostly good this year but the past few starts have been bad. DL stunt maybe? Good thing we DFA’d Belisle and got a fresh arm up from AAA... oh wait, we didn’t?
  18. Danchat
    For the sake of accuracy, Gallardo's actually already made one start on June 17th - he gave up 5 runs and Texas won 13-12.
  19. Danchat
    Just wanted to drop some stats to confirm my suspicions: Dozier - Situational Hitting High Leverage - .164/.220/.273 (.493 OPS) Medium Leverage - .197/.280/.331 (.610 OPS) Low Leverage - .284/.360/.539 (.899 OPS) Escobar High Lev. - .370/.410/.648 (1.058 OPS) Medium Lev. - .252/.313/.485 (.798 OPS) High Lev. - .305/.354/.619 (.973 OPS) Oh, and I'll be wearing my Dozier jersey today. Methinks I'll have to retire the jersey next to my Parmelee jersey once the season is over.
  20. Danchat
    Good stuff, Vanimal. I'll be at the game today, so let's hope for some actual offense today.
  21. Danchat
    Looking back on things, they definitely needed a better 4th OF and a 3rd C. Trusting in Grossman was not a good idea and LaMarre is just what we thought he'd be - a singles-only hitter with a bit of speed. Going with Wilson as the 3rd catcher was a bad idea, but they have options to bring up, they're just not exercising them. Other than that, I can't blame the FO for the infield debacle. There was no way to account for losing Polanco, Mauer for a month, and Dozier/Morrison/Sano being terrible at the plate. I don't know what Falvey & Levine could have done about that. There was no realistic way to anticipate all of those events would happen.
  22. Danchat
    Well, the good news is that Belisle's DFA'ing has to be coming with this disastrous outing. One of those AAA arms has to be coming up.
  23. Danchat
    I believe I read that they've had the second most outs on the bases with the Nationals being 1st? The Twins have enough difficulties just getting guys on base, so it's a waste to consistently get unnecessary outs on the base paths.
  24. Danchat
    I'm not sure if looking at just 2018's stats for this trio is a good day to measure them as prospects. Mejia still profiles as a #5 pitcher. Littell's one bad MLB start isn't going to affect his future. Gonsalves does have some control issues but I still think he's going to be OK, it just seems like he'll need more time in the minors than anticipated.
  25. Danchat
    It seems like Molitor has learned his lesson with Reed... not sure about Pressly though. He might need a quick trip to the DL for rest.
