    Yep, they need to force Verlander out now. Gotta at least tie it up and start using up their bullpen.
  2. Danchat
    And it's not just this season. He had a whole litany of boneheaded mistakes last year too, including overthrowing the cutoff man about a billion times. Well, that's a bit of exaggeration but I think you get the point.

    I like Hildy but I saw that one coming. But wait, there's more! Another bad play from Rosario!

    I think the Twins need to either offer the Marlins a minor leaguer to trade for Kinley's rights or let him go. Kinley has some intriguing stuff but he needs more time in the high minors (AA or AAA, either is fine) and the Twins shouldn't be messing around with the 7th bullpen slot. With Hildy and Duke being erratic, we could use Busenitz or Moya in that spot over Kinley, of whom Molitor isn't going to trust. We saw how this played out with Haley last year and it's going to be a repeat of that situation if they try to keep him on the roster for the whole season.

    It stinks that Lynn's already at 90 pitches, but he's held the MLB's best offense to 4 scoreless innings. He can't do anything about the offense's futility against Verlander.

    The Twins went through a bit of work to get Vargas to AAA while stripping him of his 40 man roster spot. They're not going to bring him back in a couple weeks just because Morrison is struggling in the first week of April. Maybe he'll need a few days on the bench, just like Polanco did in July of last year. He's hitting in just his 7th game of the season, and there's a 153 games left to go... give him some time.
  7. Danchat
    Still not as bad as when Molitor brought out JR Graham to face A-Rod with the bases loaded with a 3 run lead. Anyone could have seen the result of that at bat coming a mile away.
  8. Danchat
    Well, seeing that Rochester hasn't even been able to play a game yet, it seems to make sense to keep the better prospects in AA where they can actually play. I think they (Gonsalves, Gordon) will be making their way up to AAA sooner than later.

    Alonso is incredibly similar to Morrison - both had breakout seasons in 2017, except had had next to zero power before the 2017 season (his previous high was 9 HRs! Even Mauer has more power than him!). Just looking at the stats, Morrison has been a better hitter than Alonso over his career. One week of bad baseball in 2018 means very little in the grand scheme of things.
  10. Danchat
    He's hitting .364. I think he knows what he's doing.
  11. Danchat
    Yeah... I don't like it because they're not keeping the lefty in there. Now they have a new reliever who matches up better against Grossman.
  12. Danchat
    Eddie Escobar with the clutch hit!!
  13. Danchat
    Never mind with this Kinley stuff, here come the bats! Let's make this one a ballgame again!
  14. Danchat
    Solid outing for Moya, getting 4 of 5 of the better Mariners batters out. Too bad he'll be likely be shipped to AAA when Hughes gets called up.
  15. Danchat
    There's been plenty of people here the past few game threads wondering when Kinley's going to pitch. Maybe they don't "want" to see him but they want to see why he deserves a roster spot.
  16. Danchat
    For all those who want to see Kinley pitch for the first time, there's a good chance it'll happen today unless the Twins rally in the next couple innings.
  17. Danchat
    Ugh. I thought Berrios was going to be dynamite today, but once that first hit happened, the gates have opened up and 5 runs have already come in.
  18. Danchat
    I think it's 1 for 9 as there's been 12 outs, 3 by strikeouts.
  19. Danchat
    I think he could manage playing 1B if 3B doesn't work out for him. I imagine he'll try 1B before moving to DH full time.
  20. Danchat
    You shouldn't give up a run after two singles...
  21. Danchat
    Eh... I'm not concerned yet. Molly's not going to use them in close games, that's clear. He needs to ease them in before he trusts them in a close game. Moya's likely headed to Rochester in a few days when Hughes is activated as the 5th starter, so he'll get to pitch there more often.
  22. Danchat
    GARVER!!! There we go, I was waiting for his first hit!
  23. Danchat
    Whoops. You can't lose something you don't have...
  24. Danchat
    Well, they're going to get Duke to try and hold the lead. Let's see if Garver can handle his low pitches.
  25. Danchat
    I think Pressly is about to lose this lead...
