    Perkins is going to be back soon even though he's barely going to throw 90. I'd rather keep all 8 guys we have in the bullpen than have Perkins back. On a similar note, Santiago's going to be back soon and he admitted in an interview over the radio today that he can't even throw 90! He'd probably be better than Enns but yikes, I don't think he need him on this team anymore.

    Garver really needs to be on this team whether Gimenez is on it or not, and after today's game, I think the Twins would be upgrading their backup catcher situation. I just wish it would happen sooner than later, Garver ain't getting any younger.
  3. Danchat
    Yes. His name is Odrisamer Despaigne (pitcher for the Marlins).
  4. Danchat
    Polanco has really been racking up the errors at short lately, hasn't he?
  5. Danchat
    I think Pressly should get the chance to close games, he's been dynamite as of late. I'd love to see Busenitz get save opportunities, but I don't think Molitor is close to letting him try those. He hasn't earned high leverage outings yet, though that's not really his fault as he's barely been used the past few weeks.

    I'm pretty sure Rosie is his nickname in the locker room, I've heard that one many times before.
  7. Danchat
    Rogers was warming up in the 9th, so it could have been him.
  8. Danchat
    He wasn't considered much of a prospect and he was a throw-in in the Garcia trade as Littell was the main acquisition for us. Some on this board have already determined that he simply doesn't have the ability to be a starter (88-89 MPH fastballs topping out at 92 MPH) and might need to try the bullpen. But I wouldn't let this SSS determine Enns' future.

    To be fair, Belisle hit 89 on that HR pitch. Problem is he threw it right where you don't want to... right down the middle in the upper part of the strike zone.

    Kepler has a heck of an arm!
  11. Danchat
    This offense has been unbelievable in the past week. Now, if only they could have shown up when I saw them face the Rangers and Cole Hamels...
  12. Danchat
    What's happened to Berrios? I haven't been watching the game but following the box score, things do not look good. I really thought he was going to be progressing at this point.
  13. Danchat
    I thought this game was at 7:10, not 6:10. Whoops. At least I tuned in time to see Rosario hit a 3 run homer!

    The prank Ervin Santana was playing on that one Twins coach was pretty funny.
  15. Danchat
    It's kinda crazy how terrible Belisle and Pressly were early in the season and now they're back to being fantastic relievers. I can't recall any other pitchers in recent years who swung between so bad and so good.
  16. Danchat
    Glad to see Busenitz finally get in there and prove why he's on the roster at all.
  17. Danchat
    Yup, this is why you don't just give up on guys like Polanco. Slumps happen, as do hot streaks. Now this is what I'm talking about. Same with Buxton, he's hitting great as well.
  18. Danchat
    Just pointing out something I've noticed a lot this season - the Twins have avoided the Brewers' best starting pitcher (Jimmy Nelson), and they've avoided a lot of teams' best starters (both times against the Astros, Dodgers, etc.).
  19. Danchat
    Since injury: Hitting .210 - still good OBP though (around .380)
  20. Danchat
    Agreed, though it's also funny how Mauer has been terrible at the plate for the last week during this stretch.
  21. Danchat
    This Brewers team seems like they're 20 games below .500, not a team that was in 1st place for most the year.
  22. Danchat
    You have to have a pretty terrible offense when you score zero runs vs 10 innings of Gee and Colon.
  23. Danchat
    Nice, I'm glad to see a rookie start instead of a vet like Santiago. Let's hope things go well for him!
  24. Danchat
    I'll pass on Park for right now, but I just don't understand how Garver isn't up in the majors right now. I don't think he has anything left to prove at AAA - let's get him some ABs in the majors. You don't have to move team favorite Gimenez off the roster yet, Garver can play several positions and DH.
  25. Danchat
    The Twins have placed Mejia on the 10 day DL. I imagine they'll call up a bench bat (Vargas/Garver) for now and eventually get a starter up here. They could go with Gee since he pitched 4 innings today or they could opt for somebody like Slegers to pick up a few starts.
