  1. Well, let's hope the bats can back up Berrios tomorrow. I think we can win that one.
  2. We always rush to put a narrative on things; the Twins just didn't hit well against Kluber and our pitchers have given up a few homers. If the Twins would have won 10-1, we'd all be saying that they were freshly rested or something like that.
  3. He's got a whole highlight reel of Ks with runners in scoring position at this point. There's no point in facing Mauer when it's that easy to strike Sano out. Yeah, I wish, but Molitor is molasses-slow when making lineup changes. Kepler needs to be in the top half of the order when facing a righty.
  4. Methinks Sano is going to strike out here... I hope he proves me wrong.
  5. There we go, Dozier. Still have a lot of runs to hit in...
  6. Not sure how long but I think it the first day was Friday, so he still has 3-5 days to go.
  7. And it took 3 pitches for Busenitz to make this game worse...
  8. Alright Booze-nitz, let's prove your roster spot and see if you can stick around for the long run.
  9. Morrison's new approach: don't even swing.
  10. Looks like Odorizzi has run out of gas. I'm not liking our chances with the way the offense has played thus far.
  11. Darn. Turns out our offense will actually have to do something. Oh wait...
  12. Boy, I sure hope we don't get rained out. That'll be 5 days without any games...
  13. I wonder what his odds will be with the voters. Mauer seems like a guy who would take a few years to build the votes up and won't be getting in on the first ballot. I would like to know what the national baseball pundits think of his odds.
  14. I had applied to an IT position at Delaware North a few months back, and I recently heard I didn't get the job. I'm a bit bummed I won't get to work at Target Field. Maybe we can get some other Twins Daily folks working there, though.
  15. I'm fine with them carrying one guy like Moya, who is basically the 7th reliever and since he's mostly aced the minor league, he can work his way into a role where Molitor can trust him. Kinley simply doesn't make sense on this roster. He's not getting any opportunities to prove himself.
  16. You might be right about that, but this would be happening whether the season moved up or not.
  17. Did the MLB plan this mid-April blizzard? I don't think there was any way to anticipate this. Did you want to start the season with 20 straight road games?
  18. The more I think about this move, the less it makes sense. The Twins probably aren't going to play until Tuesday in Puerto Rico with the current weather. I don't see why LaMarre needed to go down to AAA when our next game is probably happening in 4 days?
  19. Source: http://www.1500espn.com/twins-2/2018/04/twins-option-ryan-lamarre-minors-keep-roster-spot-open-now/ LaMarre will be headed to AAA and the Twins haven't decided who will be coming up. They might not play a game this weekend, so they may not need a pitcher, but I would assume Phil Hughes will be up as the 5th starter eventually. It seems they want to keep the 8 man bullpen together.
  20. I wanted to see a baseball game today, but at least it saves us from Phil Hughes again. Maybe we could go the whole season with 4 starters going 40 starts with byes every 5th game... I wonder if their arms would hold up. Probably not a good idea.
  21. Dude, next time you come back from time travelling, use spoiler tags.
  22. Don't worry, Phil Hughes will likely be coming up and taking one of those roster spots. Then it'll be a 24 man roster with a bad 5th starter!
  23. Using Addison Reed to save the 7th inning and bridge the 8th was the right call. Without him, Rodney probably doesn't get a chance at a save in the 9th inning.
