    Holy cow, what an inning for Mejia! Taking down Pedroia-Bogaerts-Moreland with runners on is not an easy thing to do. Very nice!

    I wouldn't lump Boshers in with Breslow and Belisle. Over the past calendar year in the majors, Boshers has a solid 3.62 ERA [FIP of 2.84 in 2016!] with a BB/9 of 1.8 and K/9 of 8.4 - though his strikeouts have dropped off so far this season, but the sample size is a bit small. He's leagues ahead of those two right now, and while Boshers is probably just a placeholder at this point, at least he isn't losing the Twins games. He's the type of guy we need in the bullpen while we wait for our injured prospects to get healthy - Belisle and Breslow are not.

    Amen! I was just looking up Hildy's minor league stats earlier today, and I was surprised by how good he's been! I think he can become a Neshek - or, at least he has the potential. I'm glad the Twins gave him a shot and I'd have to say he's definitely impressing me.
  4. Danchat
    It's too bad they optioned Gee to AAA yesterday 'cause they're going to need him today. Oh well, at least that means we'll likely get to see Busenitz and Hildenberger again.
  5. Danchat
    It looks like Santiago got a little of his velocity back after he recovered from that injury. That might be a big factor for him if he wants to pitch like he did in April again.
  6. Danchat
    It's crazy how our backup catcher now has more HRs than our starting first baseman... I know I keep repeating this, but why is Belisle still on this team? Eat the rest of the $3M and plug in Boshers, Busenitz, and Hildenberger in. If this team wants to be serious about winning, it's time to make the easy moves to make this bullpen better - DFA Belisle and Breslow.

    It's been completely bonkers. The Twins have been nearly invincible on the road (2nd best record in the league behind Houston) yet they have the worst record at home (yes, even worse than the Phillies and the Giants!). If we can sneak in as the 4th seed and win all our road games (while losing all home games), the World Series will be ours... if the NL wins the All-Star Game, that is.
  8. Danchat
    Wow. Heck of a game for Boshers. Hopefully he's ahead of Belisle now.
  9. Danchat
    Rosario!!! He's on pace for a 20+ HR season! Who woulda thunk?
  10. Danchat
    Sano's out of the lineup for the second straight day, huh. Maybe he got sick again.
  11. Danchat
    It's good to see Polanco have a great game at the plate after he's gone into a minor slump. I believe he's got a great bat and he'll hit his way out of this. I'm not worried about him.
  12. Danchat
    They're going to be in April when it'll be really cold here in Minnesota, so it makes a lot of sense to me.
  13. Danchat
    Mejia has definitely struggled this season, but it's been less than May's, Gibson's, and Berrios' rookie struggles. I think he could be a solid #4 starter once he gets used to the majors.
  14. Danchat
    Wait, I thought this game started at 7:10... well, I won't complain with a 4-0 lead.
  15. Danchat
    Well... they must think they can slip Melotakis through waivers... or maybe he's about to get suspended or something? Ugh. He may not have a ton of upside, but keeping Breslow and Turley over Melotakis is insanity. But let's hope there's something more to this story. Also, aren't we at the point where Haley can be placed on the 60 day DL? Perhaps that could have opened up a spot. (It's clear the front office isn't ready to give up on him yet, unlike what most here think of him.)
  16. Danchat
    Whoops, it seems I thought that poster was announcing some moves, but I don't see confirmation anywhere. I apologize for misleading you guys! But I do wonder what the 40 man moves will be...
  17. Danchat
    Wow, not only do we get Hildenberger and Gee, but we also get to see Granite debut! I'm glad they've given up on Breslow, so we're almost through with the chaff in the bullpen. Belisle has been serviceable as of late, so I won't ask for his release.... yet.

    Turley

    Danchat replied to DaveW's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk

    Turley being DFA'd would solve it nicely. Hughes is probably going to be ready within 10-14 days.

    Turley

    I still don't know how to post tweets. It looks like it'll be Hildenberger over Wimmers. It's great to see both Busenitz and Hildy have been rewarded for their AAA success. If only these guys could start...

    Turley

    Danchat replied to DaveW's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk

    Looking back, Vogelsong should have pitched in AAA and shouldn't have asked for his release, as he'd probably get plenty of starts in the majors by this point. Who knew guys like Tepesch, Wilk, and Turley were going to get starts in the first 40% of the season!
  21. Danchat

    Turley

    Danchat replied to DaveW's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk

    Actually, Wimmers was the 26th man during the last doubleheader, not Wilk. Wimmers is eligible to come up now. Update: Darren Wolfson is reporting that Wimmers is getting called up again.
  22. Danchat
    That'd make the most sense. From the options available... it'd be Pressly or Wimmers, I'd have to think. Then Santiago pitches in 5 days and eventually Hughes will join the bullpen.
  23. Danchat
    It's nice to see Busenitz have a good inning. Hopefully he can get the rookie struggles out of the way and earn some more playing time in closer games.
  24. Danchat
    So that's already 6 hits given up by Breslow... can we say goodbye to him yet? Or does he have to blow a few leads first before he's DFA'd?
  25. Danchat
    To Molitor's credit, he's finally using Belisle in an appropriate situation.
