    I feel like Magill going 4 innings is a stretch, but I guess KC's offense is bad... oh wait, here comes Rogers.
  2. Danchat
    Barlow has now pitched 4 innings without giving up a hit.
  3. Danchat
    The bullpen is doing everything they can to let the Twins win, unfortunately the offense is dead set on not scoring. Seems like we've had more overtime games than usual due to offensive ineptitude.

    Good to see Hildy has rebounded from his rough stretch in April.

    And today they've gone 2 for 6 with RISP, but they squandered an out at home plate. Seems worse than it was, but they're good at not scoring even when they do get hits.

    Fun with stats - Max Kepler ---- Vs RHP -- Vs LHP 2016 -- .792 -- .595 2017 -- .828 -- .453 2018 -- .692 -- 1.197 It's great that Kepler's crushing lefties, but it's also disappointing he's hitting .214 against righties. I imagine these stats will fluctuate closer to the norm, but still.

    You'd do well to remember that Molitor named Adrianza as the starting shortstop after Polanco's suspension, but he did plan to rotate them. Then he basically started Escobar once he started hitting... I dunno, Molitor has mostly played the hotter bat this season. The problem is so many bats have gone cool, there's not a lot that can be done.
  8. Danchat
    I don't think it's crazy to consider Polanco back as a starter when he returns, as Escobar could be better suited for super utility use. I imagine they'll likely rotate Polanco and Escobar at short the first week or two and continue to play whoever has the hotter bat.

    Boyer and his glorious 11.44 ERA... how in the world are they still trotting him out there?! That's not a small sample size either!
  10. Danchat
    Do they even give out errors anymore? Because that play was a 100% error.

    Motter is headed to AAA and using Hughes’ 40 man spot. Seems like a depth move, could be bad news for Petit. He seems to have a little pop, decent defense, and a good base stealer, but he hasn’t figured out how to hit and he’s already 28.

    That's right, who knows if anyone will be willing to pony up prospects for Dozier or Rodney come July. It might not even be worth it to move anybody. I wonder if a team would be willing to pay up for Kyle Gibson? He's had a solid season and a trading team would have a year and a half of control. With our current and 2019 rotation as it is, I would be alright moving on from him at the right price. (I'm trying to think of guys who they wouldn't be selling low on... obviously trying to move somebody like Lynn or Sano would be bad ideas at this point.)

    I don't mean to do your work for you, Randi, but I've noticed Granite is slashing .209/.301/.231 (.532 OPS) at AAA right now in 104 PAs. That's in stark comparison to his AAA stat line last year where he was hitting .338 with .867 OPS. With just 2 XBHs (no HRs), I have to wonder if his 40 man roster spot might be in question at some point. With no power, a noodle arm, and guys like Jake Cave and LaMonte Wade (soon) around, I'm wondering if he might not be in the Twins' future plans. They already have an older version of him named Ryan LaMarre on the roster. But who knows, he's only 25, maybe he'll turn things around, it's only 100 PAs. He still rarely strikes out (9 Ks) but his ceiling might be as a pinch runner & defensive replacement in the late innings.
  14. Danchat
    There isn't a clear spot for him on the major league roster at the moment, but I think he'll be OK. One bad AAA outing isn't going to doom him. But at the moment they have Gonsalves, Slegers, and Littell starting at AAA and on the 40 man roster, so it's not like they need another starter. I'm not sure what they'll do with him.
  15. Danchat
    Another great start wasted by the non-existent offense. We need to get Adrianza and Wilson out of the lineup and figure out Buxton. Dozier needs to get on a hot streak or he's going to be flipped in July for a low-upside prospect. But I have to respect Rosario for continuing his slugging. Unlike many here and elsewhere thought, he's stood up to his 2017 season and continued to produce.

    So the trade is basically Hughes and the 74th pick in the 2018 draft for C Villalobos and $7.5M in 2019. I don't hate the trade but I don't like it... Villalobos seems like a lottery ticket, but it could work out well if the money in 2019 is spent well. The draft is a crapshoot so losing the 74th pick isn't so bad (as an NFL draft junkie, I would not like this trade, but this is the MLB Draft).
  17. Danchat
    They got a catcher named Janigson Villalobos as well as $6.5M. He played in rookie ball for SD last year.
  18. Danchat
    Good stuff. I think it's time for bed though, so I look forward to waking up and hearing of the Twins victory.
  19. Danchat
    Runner on 3rd with 2 down... this is going to be dicey. Let's go Magill!
  20. Danchat
    Great to see Rooker playing so much better in May. He still has a lot of hitting to do to make his stat line look presentable but he's definitely improving. Busenitz seems to be ready for the majors, but there isn't a spot for him. Magill has held down the 7th reliever spot surprisingly well, and since the bullpen has been very durable thus far, he'll just have to wait. Hopefully he'll find his way up in due time.
  21. Danchat
    Fangraphs has him ranked 16th out of 44 SSs (min. 40 PAs) at +1.7 Def (whatever that means). Escobar is ranked 36th at -0.6.
  22. Danchat
    Great clutch hit by Escobar, now we've got a tie game! I do wish he wouldn't have gotten himself out at 2nd, though, he could have taken the lead with another hit.
  23. Danchat
    One bad inning does not make Odorizzi a bad pitcher.
  24. Danchat
    Below average receiving + Good throwing arm = throw out runners who advance on your mistakes, apparently. Oops, forgot about the no math rule...
  25. Danchat
    Adrianza is one of the league's better defensive infielders... I'm not sure what you mean by that.
