    Good stuff from the hitters! I guess all they needed was some bad pitching.
  2. Danchat
    If you're going to see Avengers Infinity War soon (it came out yesterday), then you're gonna want to see Black Panther first.

    I think another reason for the pitching futility has been the regression of the defense. Dozier's arm and range are limited, Sano can be a disaster sometimes, and Escobar doesn't have the range at short. Awful throws from outfielders have factored in, too. I ain't excusing Rodney for his incompetence, though. They should get him to pitch some low leverage innings before they think about having him try to save a game.

    He's entering Kevin Jepsen territory... I would consider making Pressly the closer or at least transition him there with Reed as the closer.
  5. Danchat
    Wow. Just wow. Unbelievable. They truly can blow any game, turn any victory into a loss.
  6. Danchat
    There's not much Rodney can do about that one.

    Finally, a good day for Grossman at the plate. Now, time for one of LaMarre's trademark singles...
  8. Danchat
    The 7th inning seems a bit early for Reed... Oh poo.
  9. Danchat
    I'm confident a doppelganger replaces Gibson every 3rd or 4th start and pitches very well every time out. Today must be the doppelganger's turn in the rotation.
  10. Danchat
    GROSSMAN!!!
  11. Danchat
    Though Grossman would be starting at DH without Morrison, and his hitting has been just as putrid as Morrison's.
  12. Danchat
    The David Hale claiming is interesting, he's a starter but his AAA track record is pretty bad. Perhaps the Twins are planning on moving him to the bullpen and see if he can pitch competently there. If not, I imagine they'll DFA him and try to get him to AAA. Or they're just claiming a Yankee so we can learn all their playbook or something like that... oh wait, wrong sport.
  13. Danchat
    I expect Garver's bat to come around soon. His defense? Not sure about that. Suzuki has been bad defensively, but wow, I didn't think he'd hit like that in Atlanta.
  14. Danchat
    Nice game thread, Respy, I especially liked the formatting.
  15. Danchat
    Thank goodness. I'm thinking we'll see Slegers or Curtiss, but unfortunately this isn't going to fix much.
  16. Danchat
    I couldn't say it better myself.
  17. Danchat
    Look, I really want some roster shake-up too, but Slegers is a AAAA talent who barely projects to be a #5 pitcher in the rotation. If Lynn is going anywhere, it's to the DL with a mysterious injury. For as bad as he's looked, I wouldn't put him behind Hughes yet... Phil has at least two seasons of poor pitching to his name, Lynn has 4 starts.
  18. Danchat
    This Gregorius guy is really good...
  19. Danchat
    Fun fact: Mauer, Dozier, and Escobar are all hitting .288 at the moment. And they're all going to be free agents once the season is over. Odd.
  20. Danchat
    Apparently the answer between Lynn, Cobb, and Darvish was none of the above... at least for April. Let's take this time to remember that Lynn asked for $20M a year on a multi-year contract. Not that he's a total bust... but we can see why teams were hesitant to pay these starting pitchers gobs of money.
  21. Danchat
    The Twins are probably going to need at least 9 runs to win this one.
  22. Danchat
    Just gonna throw this here: Sports teams I hate: #1: Packers #2: Yankees Sports fanbases I hate: #1: Eagles #2: Yankees #3: Packers
  23. Danchat
    Well, I'll check back on the Rooker situation in a few months and see how he's doing. I just find it hard to believe that 80 PAs is all it takes for a hitter to become the next ABW. I was mainly referring to Trout's subpar 135 PAs in his rookie year, though now looking at the game log, it seemed it was the tail end of those 135 PAs where he didn't hit as well and not as much the first 80, so perhaps that wasn't the best comparison.
  24. Danchat
    Gonsalves and Gordon should be getting promotions to AAA very soon... I don't know what the holdup is. These guys should/might be contributing to the big league club sooner than later.
  25. Danchat
    All it takes is 80 plate appearances to become a non-prospect? Well then, the Angels should have give up on Mike Trout when his first 80 PAs looked bad. Rooker's path to the majors has been accelerated and he's struggling upon reaching the upper minors. I'm not surprised that he's striking out a lot - he's got plenty of time to adjust and learn how to hit AA pitchers. I have little to no concerns for him in the long run.
