    With the way the Twins squander baserunners, I'll take one run for now. Two for next time, please.

    C'mon, Joe, give Meyer a bigger lead to work with.

    Meanwhile, wherever he is, Gardy is starting to sweat profusely.

    Park! 3B!!!

    We got 3 runs. For the Twins, I will take that many every time.
  6. Danchat
    How about both at the same time?

    The problem is his pitch count is getting really high. He's on pace to go 5 innings.
  8. Danchat
    Berrios is having a hard time throwing strikes... he's at 24 balls and 24 strikes right now.

    I'm pretty sure I remember that Joe Maddon had no interest in managing with the Twins' current front office in place.

    The raw talent is clearly there for most of the players. They just haven't been able to extract most of it. Plenty of bad luck, too. But I'm getting the feeling that this terrible situational hitting / pitching is not just full of outliers.

    I've noticed this lately. Whomever records these stats need to be a little more liberal with the use of errors. It's another reason not to use fielding percentage as a way to rate a player's defense.

    So far this feels like a 90+ loss team, but there's so much more talent here. So I guess they'll likely end up being an 80+ loss team.

    Wanna do my accounting homework?

    Mauer is putting this team on his back!

    IMO Santana just doesn't have enough experience in CF.
  17. Danchat
    Buxton isn't ready to hit major league pitching, so he's in AAA. Santana is the Twins backup plan (this is where you should criticize them). Santana is a fine bench player who can play multiple positions and has pinch running abilities, so he should definitely be on the roster.

    I don't get how that play wasn't recorded as an error. Dozier clearly erred on that play, but they ruled it a single. ???

    Ugh. Twins have guys on 2nd and 3rd with no outs. They end up with zero runs. This has happened way too many times this season. This is another reason why they're not winning games.
  20. Danchat
    We have to beat Pelfrey today. So far, things are looking good.
  21. Danchat
    By getting more starts in AAA. A few starts in the majors isn't a bad thing, but he's not ready to run away with a starting role. I suppose he's got much more upside than Milone, so he might as well start instead. Yeah, it's just an inning and a half. Long term it doesn't really prove anything, but short term I think he's getting thrown to the wolves a little early. Also, having him throw that inning or so in the bullpen yesterday was OK. I completely forgot that his start is on Tuesday and for some reason I thought tomorrow was Tuesday (but it's actually Sunday). My bad.
  22. Danchat
    Oh boy. This has started poorly.
  23. Danchat
    Yeah, I know he's getting old. I was really hoping he would get called up and start near the end of the 2014 season when he was 24. Even though he's 26 now, he's not ready to start in the majors. I'd rather see him start at AAA and call him up in June if he's pitching well. But as things have played out, I'm intrigued to see how he'll do. I'm cheering for him, but I just don't think things are going to go well.
  24. Danchat
    After today's outing in the bullpen (why he was pitching there in the first place was very questionable), I hope you guys can see what I mean by saying Meyer isn't ready to start.
  25. Danchat
    Ideally I'd like to switch Meyer and May's positions, but let's not talk about that. I don't think Meyer is ready to stick as a starter in the MLB, and he's gonna have control issues. I don't hate Meyer - I like him and I want him to succeed, but I'm not convinced he'll pitch well. On the other hand, I think Tommy Milone can be a good long reliever. He's been bad against lineups on the third time around, so having him face batters for shorter periods of time makes sense. He'll never be a late inning guy but he can eat innings and slide back into the rotation in case of more injuries.
