  1. I highly doubt this is true. I like Santana, but right now he should be in a super-utility role, not as a starter. He's a fine player to have on the bench and spot start. I find Molitor's penchant for Santana very odd.
  2. It makes sense to me. He's pitching well, so you send him out to try and preserve the tie game with 2 guys in scoring position. In play, run(s). Dang it.
  3. I would like to see Meyer in this game, but Molitor isn't going to trust him in a close game...
  4. And the wheels come off...
  5. Meyer has thrown 2 good starts in Rochester, and now everyone here demands he starts in the majors. Has everyone forgotten that Meyer was so bad in the AAA rotation last year that he was demoted to the bullpen? He's not ready to be a major league starter yet. I would like the Twins to decide if he's going to be a starter or a reliever. Either would be fine, but if he's gonna be a starter, give him some more starts at AAA.
  6. This is getting ridiculous. Jepsen has nearly blown every single save opportunity he's had. What is it - 2 saves in 6-8 attempts? How much rope will he get?
  7. Oh goody, Casey Fien in the top of the 8th with a guy on second. This is why the Twins needed to sign at least one good bullpen arm. But hey, at least it ain't Boyer out there.
  8. Hmmmm... I think Nolasco needs to go. Looks like he's getting pulled, though.
  9. To be fair the Twins have scored in 4/5 of the innings they've played in.
  10. According to MLB Gameday, he's active.
  11. Why are the Indians leading off with Carlos Santana? I thought leadoff hitters were expected to get on base? Then again the Twins are leading off with our Santana, and he was one of the league's worst guys at getting on base last year. Common sense is fun.
  12. OK. Chief nailed this one. So it seems like Duffey will stick in the rotation, with Meyer as a backup if Duffey's still hurt.
  13. Good move! Getting Berrios on the roster instead of David Murphy is infinitely better. Hopefully Jose can get off to a good start and make sure he doesn't have to get sent back to AAA. Polcano coming back up is good. I have no idea why they sent him down in the first place. Now the bench is at a fine size. With Santana likely going to the DL, I wonder what the other move will be. It could be Duffey to the DL, O'Rourke to AAA, or outrighting Tonkin. I don't think they're done with Tonkin yet, though.
  14. Just pretend it's a John Ryan Murphy jersey... wait... you might want to wait until he plays a little better.
  15. Did you see him pitch two scoreless innings in a close game yesterday? He looked pretty good. He's better than Fien and Jepsen, at the least.
  16. Molitor clearly trusts guys like May, Jepsen, Fien, and Pressly much more than guys like Tonkin and Meyer. Not that he should, but that's who he seems to trust.
  17. The Twins aren't going to trust him in a close game. That's just not how they roll.
  18. I think this move makes the most sense. They need another backup infielder, and Beresford has earned a week or two in the majors.
  19. As for much complaining I see about Milone, it'd be nice if a Twin not named Joe Mauer could get a hit.
  20. This. I have hope for the Vikings as their management and coaching staff are prudent and make wise choices and give out reasonable contracts. They've built a really good team that could compete for awhile. Now if the bad luck could just go away.... Walsh's missed kick makes me think they still have to get past the bad luck.
  21. You should thank yourself for missing yesterday's game.
  22. I don't rip management very often, but it's clear there is no plan. Danny Santana is backing up every single position except for catcher, and that's not OK. The Twins need more than two bench players. It just doesn't seem like they're trying to win. Especially after yesterday's debacle.
  23. I don't get why Duffey hasn't gone down yet. The only guys on the bench are Santana and Murphy... this doesn't make any sense unless another move is coming.
  24. The Twins are calling up Meyer as a reliever, according to Mike Berardino. It looks like Berrios won't be coming up quite yet.
