  1. Ummm, let me try again... Password: #TotalSystemFailure777
  2. This reminds me of conversations pre-season about players who were pegged for regression. Rosario was one of the top options, though many argued that his natural hitting ability would enable him to sustain his 2015 numbers. Nope, he's Danny Santana 2015 in 2016. Now it's time for more mediocre veterans! Will it be Robbie Grossman? Will Darin Mastroianni start over Arcia more often than not?
  3. Don't you remember how Gibson and May debuted? They were terrible in their first few starts. I remember May throwing tons of walks in his few starts at the end of 2014, but then the next season he got things together. I wouldn't worry too much about Berrios. You shouldn't normally expect Duffey-like results from rookie starters, but it is frustrating to see talented guys like Berrios struggling early on.
  4. Wait, I thought Castellanos got ejected! Or at least that's what Dick & Bert said.
  5. We traded for JR Murphy from the Yankees and now we send them JR Graham. Interesting. Well, there goes a full season of Graham on the roster just to ship him out one month into 2016. I don't get why they needed to DFA him, but I guess he wasn't in the team's long term plans.
  6. The silver lining is that we don't get to see Jepsen blow the game. It's too bad the Twins don't understand how to hit with runners in scoring position.
  7. So, who thinks Jepsen will blow the lead in the 9th inning? I think it's likely thanks to the fact that the Twins haven't hit in any insurance runs.
  8. Rosario has been terrible and Mastroianni shouldn't be starting. So Santana's kinda the main guy at CF, unfortunately. Yeah, Polanco needs to be in the lineup. It has to suck for him to finally get a chance but then Nunez starts hitting .350 so he's glued to the bench.
  9. Twins lineup: 1. Joe Mauer (L) 1B 2. Eduardo Nunez ® SS 3. Miguel Sano ® RF 4. Trevor Plouffe ® 3B 5. Byung Ho Park ® DH 6. Brian Dozier ® 2B 7. Oswaldo Arcia (L) LF 8. Kurt Suzuki ® C 9. Danny Santana (S) CF Wow. This might be one of the first lineups that I actually like. Good job, Molitor, you finally bumped Dozier down in the lineup.
  10. Wow, a rare hit with runners in scoring position! I thought the Twins banned those.
  11. Not-so-fun fact: Hughes is under contract longer than Mauer is. Gosh, the Hughes extension is looking just as bad as the Nolasco deal.
  12. Oh my. It's like the home run derby out there! So what is gonna be, a 7 game losing streak? Man, they're quickly approaching the length of that 9 game one!
  13. Oh my, that Arcia leg-kick to Santana was pretty fantastic. I'll keep watching games if I can see more plays like that.
  14. Has anyone got a replay of Arcia's play last night? I really want to see it.
  15. It's not a blown save, but it's going to go down as a loss. Yeah, I know he's in over his head, but Molitor keeps trusting him there for some asinine reason. When you blow 6/7 games in the first 32 games, how can you not demote him to at least the 8th inning?
  16. Can someone post a link to the Arcia play? I really want to see it.
  17. Is this the 6th or 7th game that Jepsen has blown? I can't remember. He'll probably keep the closer's job even though he's literally shown no ability to get a clean inning. With May as the closer, I think the Twins win at least 2 more games.
  18. I think it's time for Jepsen to hit the DL with a "shoulder" injury.
  19. In my eye tests, it seems Park has cut down on the awkward check-swings. He's seemingly caught up to the game's speed. The sky's the limit for him.
  20. Hopefully this rainout gives Molitor time to re-think his lineup. [for the better, I hope]
  21. Just a flesh wound! Er, I mean just a total system failure!
  22. I mostly wanted to see Park bat behind Mauer, so Mauer hitting leadoff doesn't excite me that much. I am interested to see how it'll play out.
