  1. Rogers has proven to be a really solid setup reliever so far. I'm impressed with what I've seen.
  2. Ugh. We really needed to do something with that inning...
  3. Any predictions for when Gibson will melt down? I'm guessing the 5th inning.
  4. Well... there's the game. Ugh. Blown saves happen, but Kintzler isn't a guy you can trust with a one run lead in the 9th.
  5. I'm OK with Duffey in this type of role.
  6. I just missed a big play in the NBA finals because of that!
  7. I had Heston on my fantasy baseball team back in 2015, and he had some really good games, so I'm a little bit biased here. But there's really not much upside here - unfortunately the Twins are desperate and this is what they're going to get with all these injuries. Hopefully Santiago will get healthy soon and return... and pitch better too.
  8. I had no idea he's been losing about 1 mph every year since 2011 - no wonder why he's stunk as of late, he's only averaging 89 mph on the fastball! The Twins should definitely let him go after the season's over and let someone else overpay him - we are already overpaying a similar guy (Hughes).
  9. I know Santiago's struggling, but we can't make him the long man - that should be Hughes' job when he gets back. Not to mention Gibson should be in AAA. There just aren't any other options to replace Santiago with (Turley is a AAA lifer, don't think he'd be an upgrade).
  10. I didn't notice Escobar was catching (I'm just following the game on MLB.com). Crazy how we went 1-2-3 with those two out there.
  11. Oh wow, we get to see Gimenez pitch his 4th game of the season. You know your bullpen is bad when a position player has to pitch this many times...
  12. Busenitz and Hildenberger are pitching really well in AAA, they should at least get a shot. They're more qualified than basically everyone else they've called up so far.
  13. I don't want to be captain hindsight, but the leap from AA to MLB is incredibly daunting. People who want Melotakis and Curtiss to be called up should adjust their expectations. I don't think Rosario's call up was a bad decision - it's been fun to see him up and he's on the 40 man so no harm no foul.
  14. Eh, with this lineup, they still have a chance.
  15. Wow, Michael Baumann's considered this high of a draft pick? That's awesome! I graduated with him from Mahtomedi High School, so I kind of knew him. I can remember a time when my in-house team tried to recruit him to pitch a game, but he wasn't able to do it. That would be amazing if he could make the majors!
  16. Even with that performance, he's still hitting just .200, not to mention before today his OPS was .396. I don't think he's going to go the way of 2017 Aaron Hicks.
  17. Gimenez seems to take walks well. He's got three on the day - too bad he's still hitting just .194.
  18. Max Kepler has been coming onto his own recently. The combination of Mauer-Sano-Kepler has been very dangerous so far. Meanwhile, I think Polanco's in a small slump, I'd like to see some better hitting from him. I think he has the capability to hit similarly to Kepler.
  19. Deolis Guerra is sweating so much it looks like he's going to melt. He has sweat pouring off the rim of his hat, and that's no exaggeration!
  20. Gibson's looking like his 2015-16 form - good through the first 4-5 innings and then he completely falls apart at the end. It's a lot better than his 2017 version of himself, but this seems to be his ceiling. Also, Pujols looked like he had a bit of a limp while he ran to first. Maybe a trip to the DL is in order for him...
  21. Wow, what a smash by Kepler! It's so bizarre how well this team plays on the road compared to their home games. If they win tonight, they'll be an insane 16-5 on the road.
  22. Holy cow that was a fast bottom of the 9th! I went to the bathroom and I missed it! It's good to see the Twins pick up a win. This Angels team isn't very good without Trout, so they should be able to win the next 2 of 3 games.
  23. Mauer with his classic bases-loaded walk.
