    Fun with numbers - Twins Daily members jinx the Twins games once every 6 minutes (on average).
  2. Danchat
    Well, there's Joe with his first extra base hit of the year. He must have heard my comment.
  3. Danchat
    Nope, I kept track of it all. I was that kid who kept track of the score and all my personal stats.
  4. Danchat
    I just looked up my old stat line, it was .217 AVG/.280 OBP/ .217 SLG. That's about 20 points in OBP better than Mauer right now.
  5. Danchat
    Mauer doesn't have an extra base hit in 55 plate appearances... that's a nice .216 batting average to go with a .216 slugging percentage. I think that's the same stats I had when I played baseball in 12th grade.
  6. Danchat
    I don't know about this, Polanco has always hit well at the major league level. He should be in Mauer's spot until he proves he can't hit there.

    Pinch me, I'm dreaming... what kind of nightmare is this?!? Seriously though we need to have an intervention for Molly and get Santana off this roster and employ a real bench.
  8. Danchat
    Sano!!! Whadda you know!
  9. Danchat
    Thank you, good sir!

    MLB Gameday still thinks the game is in the top of the 2nd...

    Adrianza will be healthy very soon, so they'll have to make a decision on him. Not sure if they want him on the bench or at AAA. I imagine if it's a batter they want to call up from AAA, it'll be someone on the 40 man roster, aka Vargas. I don't see what Tonkin or Breslow is accomplishing on the roster. I'd move on from Tonkin first and Breslow a bit later if he doesn't prove himself.

    Alright, Joe, it's all up to you... Is it time for another RBI walk?
  13. Danchat
    Kepler! Keeping this one alive!
  14. Danchat
    Yup, he's looking great so far. But with the way Gibson's pitching, I'd almost rather see him in the rotation. But I also wouldn't want to jerk him around. What to do....
  15. Danchat
    Many have wanted Berrios to come up and replace Mejia in the rotation... but I'd rather see Gibson replaced. I've been unimpressed with him so far, and I wonder how well he could pitch in the bullpen. I think Gibson's leash is still pretty long, so I don't think we'll see him demoted anytime soon.
  16. Danchat
    Yup, now that I think about it, the Twins definitely lost multiple games because Jepsen was closing for an injured Perkins. They weren't prepared for that. Some teams can overcome injuries and still excel - the Indians had 3 or 4 starters injured last year but they nearly won the World Series. The Super Bowl winning 2010 Packers had 17 players on the injured reserve and still were a great team [unfortunately].
  17. Danchat
    I don't want to be Debbie Downer, but this team has been pretty healthy so far. Once the injuries hit, we'll see how this team responds. What happens if Sano misses a couple months and Escobar has to start there? What happens if E. Santana and Santiago go down with multi-week injuries at the same time? Who starts? It'll depend on situations like this. Let's not forget the Vikings started out 5-0... and then the injuries hit.
  18. Danchat
    Holy cow, what a first inning! Six hits!!
  19. Danchat
    Ryan Pressly has been looking really good so far... methinks he should be pitching in the 8th inning, at earliest.
  20. Danchat
    I had a feeling the Twins were going to lose this one when they were down 2-0... but now they're up 10-2!! Sano looks legit - maybe this is the year he hits 30-40 HRs!
  21. Danchat
    Yeah, that's why I said "until he graduates AAA", but that may take until 2018. You're right, we shouldn't push him. I wonder if Palka will be ready sometime this year. He could fill that role too, though he very well could post a Buxton-esque strikeout ratio.
  22. Danchat
    I would move on from Tonkin - Breslow should be given more chances before giving up on him and I think Duffey belongs in the pen. Also, I wonder if Granite can replace DanSan when he's ready to graduate from AAA - our 4th OF tends to play a lot, and I think he'd get enough development time playing behind Rosario-Buxton-Kepler.
  23. Danchat
    It's telling me we got the 3rd out in the 4th inning, but that's not what actually happened.... oh gosh, now it's replaying the game. Dozier just hit that HR again.
  24. Danchat
    Uh oh, here comes Gibson's implosion...
  25. Danchat
    Yes, I have noticed this. Most everyone in the lineup not named Buxton has done a fine job fouling off pitches and extending counts. For example, in today's game, only four Twins batted but Boyd had to throw 20 pitches. Hopefully they can continue this trend throughout the season.
