    Wow, just wow. We know how to blow 5-0 leads.
  2. Danchat
    Rogers and Pressly in the 8th? Seriously?!
  3. Danchat
    Rosario has been taking a lot of walks recently. His plate discipline has been improving a ton this season, so I have a hard time saying his performance is fluky.
  4. Danchat
    I'm interested to see if Colon will bounce back in the 5th inning. If he falters again, I think his time as a starter here is up.

    Aaron Gleeman was reporting that Kintzler was as good as gone and Santana and Dozier's futures are unsure. My guess is Kintzler will be gone tomorrow, Belisle will be scooped up in August, and Santana & Dozier stay put. Maybe a wild card like Grossman or Escobar get traded too.

    Wow, I really like this trade. Trading essentially Ynoa and $4M for Littell and Enns is a solid deal. Littell has some solid upside in the rotation and Enns has a chance to be a major leaguer, though I'm not as high on him as some are. Great trade. I have to imagine Gibson takes Garcia's spot in the rotation. Maybe Enns/Gonsalves could take Colon's spot sooner than later?

    It seems like everyone in the bullpen has to have a 2-3 week of complete incompetence. Belisle, Pressly, Duffey had theirs, Rogers and Kintzler are next. Ugh.
  8. Danchat
    Granite hits so many singles, he'd be a great leadoff batter. Having Granite then Dozier in the lineup would make a ton of sense. Edit: He's gonna need to figure out how to steal bases in the majors first.
  9. Danchat
    Yeah, the Twins only seem to hit about 1 grand slam a season while others vary around 2-3. I don't have any stats to back this up but I think I'm right.
  10. Danchat
    Thank goodness the A's are somehow worse with the bases loaded.
  11. Danchat
    I think we've figured out a lot about Granite already - he's got good range, a bad arm, good base-stealer, high contact batter with lots of singles, and little to no power. I think he could have some value as a 4th OF and he could play the 2015 Shane Robinson role where he could rotate with other OFers. I just don't see him as a starter though.
  12. Danchat
    Belisle is finally looking like the same guy who had career years in 2015 and 2016. I gotta give it to the FO, they were right to hold onto him.
  13. Danchat
    Castro has looked really good at the plate today. That sure doesn't happen often.
  14. Danchat
    Wow, the difference between playing the best team in baseball and a bottom-dweller is striking. It's nice to see the Twins stringing together some hits! I'm just happy we aren't a bottom-dweller anymore. I don't think we're going to make a playoff run but at least we're close, unlike Oakland.
  15. Danchat
    I don't see anyone who is insanely high on Garver. In my opinion, the Twins should call him up to fill in as a bench player who can play at C, 1B, and DH and see if he can hit in the majors. If he can, great, and if he can't, now we know. We're not going to find out by keeping him in AAA.
  16. Danchat
    Thank you for this, I love this post. It bugs me so much when people say "the Pohlads are so cheap!" when realistically the problems were 1. terrible front office (that the Pohlads gave too much rope), 2. failing to be aggressive when they were approaching the playoffs, and 3. failing to blow things up and rebuild after 2011, instead continuing to pretend to contend.
  17. Danchat
    I recently heard an interview with Levine and he said he got the thumbs-up from the Pohlads to eat some salaries and increase the payroll, so I believe it.
  18. Danchat
    Wow, Moya's got some eye-popping stats in AA. I like this trade as Murphy really isn't needed anymore and is out of options in 2018. Maybe we could see Moya in the majors in 2018 and see if he can translate that K/9 line up here.
  19. Danchat
    Someone will probably back me up on this, but I'm pretty sure in 2014 Polanco had an automatic option year, where he would use up an option even if he wasn't called up. I don't think that was the correct term, but it was something like that. A similar thing happened to Danny Santana (his options were up in his 3rd season) and I believe Kepler too in 2015 (he was called up to play the final few games though). I would demote Pressly and promote Garver. We need 4 men on the bench, especially for the Padres series (though it's only 2 games).
  20. Danchat
    We ended up going 1-8 against the two most likely teams to make the World Series, the Astros and the Dodgers. We also did not end up facing either teams' top two starting pitchers in those games.
  21. Danchat
    GG RIP
  22. Danchat
    Well Kintzler... we could use a strikeout here.
  23. Danchat
    I was just thinking that, against a reliever like Jansen they need to be swinging at the first pitch. Once you fall behind it's RIP.
  24. Danchat
    Oh, great, Polanco's up. Y'know, the guy who hasn't had a non-bunt base hit since July 3rd.
  25. Danchat
    Is that why Roberts rigged that double switch yesterday to make sure Belisle wouldn't throw in that game?
