    Problem is Molitor is screwed if he sends Colon out there or throws Pressly out there. I do, however, get sick of seeing a pitcher start an inning, pitch terribly, and then get pulled just for the inherited runs to score.
  2. Danchat
    So that explains all the solo HRs then, does it?
  3. Danchat
    Colon sure loves giving up solo HRs.

    I'm glad Garver and Kepler are in the lineup. I'm hoping they get some hits, Kepler needs to start hitting lefties and Garver just needs this chance to start hitting and stick in the lineup. I'm sorry to say this, but I'm feeling a big loss today. I don't think Colon is going to strand 8+ runners again, plus Happ is pretty good.
  5. Danchat
    Agreed, there's really no need to keep Colon around. Give Gibson $4M (which is weird to say because I was calling for his release a month ago), sign/trade for a good starting pitcher, and add an under-the-radar guy to compete with Mejia and others. I really don't like locking Gibson in starting again next season but starting pitching is tough to get and he's going to be rather cheap, so you gotta bring him back on board. We can upgrade Colon's spot in the rotation - he's been fine but he's overperforming his peripherals and he isn't going to last. He's been a great band-aid for the rotation but soon it'll be time to find a real solution to the problems in the rotation.

    My speculation yesterday was correct, Gee's the next man up in extra innings. Let's hope he can hold 'em...
  7. Danchat
    Well, there goes the lead.
  8. Danchat
    The Twins are paying the Angels something around $4M to help carry Nolasco's contract, right? Well, I guess we're paying him to stink elsewhere! What a shrewd move by Antony!
  9. Danchat
    We traded him to the Mariners for a pitcher named Stephen Pryor, but he never made it to the majors and quickly DFA'd. Yeah, I had to look that one up. Don't remember that at all.
  10. Danchat
    Will it be Hidly to the rescue again?
  11. Danchat
    See, all we had to do is wait for one of their scrubs in the bullpen and pounce. Rosario, my boy! 23 HRs and this season isn't over yet!
  12. Danchat
    Yeah, I'd choose Pressly but not happily. I might even consider sending Gee out there, he seems to be dynamite the first time through the lineup.
  13. Danchat
    Hand is a fantastic reliever, it was unlikely they would score against him. Let's get to the lackeys in the back of the bullpen and finish this one off.
  14. Danchat
    Turns out they needed some runs there. Hildy can't be perfect all the time.
  15. Danchat
    It stinks to see Vielma DFA'd, but with his AAA performance, he was going to be axed in November, as mentioned above. He's just 23, so perhaps he can eventually find his way by improving his bat as he'll get about that .490 OPS he's got in Rochester. Even then he only hit .690 OPS in AA (while hitting .286!), so there's virtually no pop in his bat. Great defense, no bat.
  16. Danchat
    Don't forget that Cleveland will likely still be competing with the Astros for the #1 seed, so they when they face us they'll still have their reasons to win. Unless they just win out the rest of the schedule... don't have to worry about Houston then.
  17. Danchat
    From Rotoworld Meyer is undergoing the same surgery that Glen Perkins went under last year. Maybe it turns out the Twins were right to give up on Meyer because of those shoulder issues as he'll most likely never be the same. And they did get Busenitz from that trade - who knew he might end up being the most important guy in that trade!
  18. Danchat
    Huh, I didn't expect Moya to be coming up. He definitely deserves it, but he might be in the same situation as Curtiss - needs some AAA before being ready to take on the majors. But it won't hurt to get some a few opportunities in garbage time.
  19. Danchat
    IMO having Pressly take the 8th and Busenitz the 9th (in theory) is not a bad idea - bringing in Boshers and Duffey were the big mistakes that sealed this one. Those two should not be pitching in any close games.
  20. Danchat
    5 relievers in one inning... and there's only been one out. Glad I'm not at the game with the pace grinding to an absolute halt.
  21. Danchat
    Yeah, we're kinda screwed with Hildy and Belisle needing breaks. Pressly has the stuff but just can't get things done when he needs to, Boshers has been terrible the last month or two. Yuck.
  22. Danchat
    Isn't this literally what happened two days ago? Mauer gets on, Polanco bunts him over to second, Rosario strikes out?
  23. Danchat
    I just can't understand why you'd forgo the chance of a hit in order to sacrifice the runs, unless you're a really good bunter who can get bunt singles. The Royals should be gunning for more than 2 runs, so we see yet another situation where failing to get the bunt down was the best case scenario.
  24. Danchat
    Great, the .570 OPS batter gets a hit off the lefty that came in to get him. Not a good sign.
  25. Danchat
    You gotta love those "have the pitcher start the next inning and then immediately pull him when he lets the leadoff guy on base" thing Molitor always does. Seems to happen once per game.
