  1. Dang, Gibson could go 9 innings. He sure is inconsistent - but at least that means he'll have some good starts.
  2. Bleh. There goes the lead.
  3. I have to say, putting Santana in LF might have saved their butts that inning.
  4. Do you realize you're asking for Santana in LF...?
  5. And there's Plouffe with the clutch double play ground out.
  6. You're right, I remember calling for the Twins to promote Meyer during 2014. He was pitching well and that's what was creating some excitement [even here at Twins Daily]. But then 2015 happened and the excitement disappeared.
  7. Holy cow this defense has been terrible. 4 errors!! No wonder the Twins are so bad, they are in 2nd place for the most errors in the MLB. And that's before we factor in defensive metrics! Robbie Grossman might be the worst OF in the majors and he's added another 2 errors today. I know we don't need to win games now, but the Twins need to make sure Grossman doesn't play OF in 2017 for an extended amount of time.
  8. So much for trading Dozier... I'd rather keep the guy! That's 26 HRs and he was terrible for two full months!
  9. I would be fine with Kintzler coming back for 2017. He shouldn't be handed the closer job, as he'll likely regress. But it'd be great if he could add some much-needed depth to the pen.
  10. This is a good move if Molitor uses O'Rourke as a LOOGY. If he doesn't, O'Rourke probably won't be very good - his MLB stats aren't very impressive, but you have to remember he wasn't being used as a LOOGY.
  11. Hooray, it's Pat Dean! Serving up a HR to Morales. I guess the Twins have finally embraced how bad they are. Even though the last 2 months looked pretty good.
  12. Pat Dean? You mean the guy who's struggling (5.56 ERA) against AAA batters? They couldn't have called up somebody like Pat Light or add some to the 40 man roster? Great, now we have Dean and Albers in the bullpen. Who woulda thunk?
  13. This looks like it'll be a sweep... isn't this the 9th 3-game series the Twins have been swept? And isn't the record 10? Could someone confirm this?
  14. Well, this sucks. Let's see if NFL preseason football is more interesting...
  15. I don't think the Twins will be getting anything in a trade for Milone.
  16. Well, at least we get to see one prospect pitching decently.
  17. Let's see... who would I have in the bullpen rather than Boshers... Pat Light, Trevor Hildenberger, maybe even Ryan O'Rourke again.
  18. I can't do those every day. But if you'd rather read about a much better Twins game, you can find yesterday's game thread in the archives.
  19. Hey, nice hit by Kepler. We could get back into this game. It still doesn't erase the bad taste of a poor Berrios start, though...
  20. Y'know, I've seen defensive metrics rate Grossman as the worst defender on the team - even worse than Sano in RF and 3B combined.
  21. Great, we lose yesterday's 5-0 and now we're down 6-0. We could use another rain-out.
  22. Final Strat-o-matic Report - Top of the 9th (Taylor Rogers pitching, Joe Mauer at 1st, Danny Santana at LF.) (Evan Gattis pinch hits for Castro.) Gattis grounds out (1-3). Kemp strikes out looking. Springer singles to left. He advances to 2B on defensive indifference. Bregman flies out to center. Congrats, Twins! They defeated the Astros 8-2. Too bad we didn't see a win or a loss from today's real game. Thanks for sticking with me so late! I'll see if I can have another game thread and host another Strat-o-Matic baseball game.
  23. Top of the 8th Report Altuve grounds out (6-3). Correa walks. Gonzalez triples, scoring Correa (MIN 7-1). Tucker flies out to deep right, Gonzalez scores (MIN 7-2). Marisnick strikes out swinging. Bottom of the 8th Polanco grounds out (6-3). Escobar strikes out looking. Suzuki singles. Rosario walks. Grossman walks. Bases are loaded. Sano walks, scoring Suzuki (MIN 8-2). Plouffe grounds out (6U). There goes Santana's shutout. An 8 inning outing is still nothing to sneer at.
