  1. I was hoping Alan Busenitz would get a cup of coffee, but I'd be OK with Baxendale as well. It seems like they only like to call up guys who have pitched over 150 innings in AAA (Tepesch - 186 innings, Rucinski - 277 innings) or have at least 60+ appearances in the bullpen. Guys like Busenitz and Baxendale will have to wait until they're 28 until they get their first crack at the majors at this rate.
  2. The Twins have finally made the move - Adrianza will replace Danny Santana as the utility bench player. With Kyle Gibson going down, Drew Rucinski has been added to the 40 man and was called up. Rucinski played a few innings with the Angels in 2014 and 2015 and was used out of the bullpen, but he was a starter for his last three seasons in AAA. He'll likely fill in as the long reliever until the Twins need to add a 5th starter. It stinks to have guys like Tepesch and Rucinski on the MLB roster just a month into the season, but with injuries (May, Chargois, O'Rourke) and rookie ineffectiveness (Mejia, Berrios), this is what they're left with. What are your thoughts?
  3. Then that "proven vet" inexplicably imploded in 2016. The 2 months we had him in 2015 went very well but it would have been nice if he could have at least regressed to the mean in 2016 instead of falling off the face of the earth.
  4. Alright, Dozier's up as the tying run... let's see a HR!
  5. Maybe it's time for Gibson and Pressly to take some nice, long trips to the DL.
  6. Oh boy, bases loaded... let's hope Pressly can pull a Gibson here. Or maybe Healy can pull a Plouffe.
  7. Oswaldo is hitting .350 with 6 HRs in Arizona's AAA system right now. Since a good AAA track record always translates to the majors, he can still be the next David Ortiz! /sarcasm
  8. We could use Justin Haley right now...
  9. Sano and ESan are carrying this team and they won't be able to do that for the whole season... we're going to need help from our other starters soon or things will go south.
  10. I think Gibson's at the end of his leash. Mejia would be better at this point...
  11. I want to believe this. Molitor loves his DanSan, and I don't think he's going to let him go so easily... hopefully the front office makes the right decision here.
  12. Oh goody, we've got Gimenez and DanSan in the lineup today... don't think we'll have another home run derby today.
  13. Plouffe to the rescue once again!!
  14. Nobody's really talking about it, but Yonder Alonso has been the AL's best first baseman so far...
  15. Here's another familiar face. Let's see if they can rack up some runs on Hendriks.
  16. And, of course, Plouffe hits into a double play. That seems familiar, doesn't it?
  17. I'm thinking Rosario has broken out of that slump. He's been making contact at a very high rate so far.
  18. I'm not falling for this ploy for free likes. You have to earn it!
  19. Dozier! It's been awhile since the last HR!
  20. Hughes has been too hittable so far... 10 hits through 5.2 innings is not acceptable.
