    I gotta say, this Petit guy has played well. Solid defense and he seems to have a penchant for getting on base. Too bad his roster spot is probably gone once Sano returns, whenever that is.
  2. Danchat
    Let's not forget that Hughes can barely go 3 innings. We need to never have him pitch in the rotation again. Slegers would be a much better option.
  3. Danchat
    That's another reason the Twins need to add another catcher - if Garver goes down, we're in big trouble.
  4. Danchat
    I think they need to get Slegers up here and start in Lynn's stead. He's at best a #5 pitcher, but that's far better than what Lynn's been giving us.
  5. Danchat
    Probably Rogers to get out of this inning, if Lynn can't. I imagine Hughes throws multiple innings in this one.
  6. Danchat
    I just don't understand how Lynn is this bad. He was a solid starting pitcher last year, but now he's totally lost his command, his pitches are far easier to hit, yet he's forcing more strikeouts? I don't get it. I don't buy the "missed Spring Training" excuses.

    Well, Fowler is a good player, he usually hits .264 on his career. I'm not sure why he's hitting so poorly in 2018....

    I'm not convinced Mauer DH'ing again is Molitor's doing. Does Joe need more rest from playing 1B or something? I am less interested in re-signing Mauer if he's spending at least 33% of his games hitting at DH. The less defense at 1B we get from him, the less I want him back.

    Whoops, I guess I shouldn't have assumed the "M" in MCL was Meniscus.
  10. Danchat
    It's an MCL (meniscus) tear. It takes a shorter amount of time to recover from this kind.
  11. Danchat
    I don't know what the heck you're talking about, the Twins can afford Realmuto's 2019-2020 salaries that will total $14-17M and the Pohlads aren't getting in the way of that. Clearly they must have hated how Falvey and Levine spent $30M in 2018 in free agency. The only thing preventing a trade for Realmuto is the prospects the Marlins will ask for. Someone had mentioned Nick Gordon, but I think I'd rather keep him because our infield's future looks very muddied with Dozier and Escobar as free agents.
  12. Danchat
    I think they should definitely try to find a guy they can rotate Garver with. I'd much rather have Wilson in AAA as the 3rd catcher, but I don't think a trade is coming anytime soon. Maybe in June?
  13. Danchat
    That was quite the pitching performance - the Cardinals had just 2 hits in the whole game. Good show, pitchers!
  14. Danchat
    Suddenly the Twins have learned how to hit again. Berrios' great start may not be in vain now.
  15. Danchat
    Good Escobar! It's about darn time!!
  16. Danchat
    Well, we got good Berrios back, too bad the offense is a rotting corpse at this point.
  17. Danchat
    So our offense has scored in just one of the last 18 innings for just one run, right? Yikes, that's awful.
  18. Danchat
    Yuck, this offense has been awful today. A solid pitching effort is been wasted.
  19. Danchat
    Odorizzi seems to be doing fine, what's the problem? He's just in the 80s in the pitch count, he's good for another inning. I'm not in a rush to get to the bullpen and see them for another 4+ innings.
  20. Danchat
    You can't win a game with zero runs, and there's nothing Odorizzi can do about that...
  21. Danchat
    Joe just might be at the point in his career that he needs this many breaks. I'm not sure how I feel about potentially re-signing Mauer to a deal if he's going to need this many breaks from 1B.
  22. Danchat
    Reminds of how Joe Mauer was shown on the big screen during the Super Bowl... and there was no fan reaction because few know who he even is. Yeah, Joe's OPS of .641 during the playoffs is pretty disappointing for a Hall of Fame candidate. Just 1 RBI and 1 run in 44 PAs.
  23. Danchat
    Not sure if I like the idea of Wilson being on the roster for another 4 to 6 weeks. Maybe they could scoop someone off the DFA scrap pile to back up Garver?
  24. Danchat
    Yeah, but the last two games were ones the Angels should have won, but we stole it from them. So overall I'm happy with a 2-2 split with this team. I'm not even mad at Duke. You're not going to win games when you score a single run.
  25. Danchat
    Well that was a thoroughly bungled inning.
