  1. At least Sano is taking walks, unlike the other guys batting beneath the Mendoza line.
  2. So this is what happens on game threads of teams that go 0-7...
  3. Honestly, the Twins main problem on offense [besides the strikeouts] is this: Mauer singles. Next batters: K, K... Escobar singles. Next batters: K, K... I apologize for continuing my complaints, but it's getting ridiculous. Escobar needs to bat before or after Mauer.
  4. What did Escobar do to get banished to the #6 spot? He's batting .379!! Molly, put him next to Mauer!!
  5. Ooh, it's good to see Kepler in the lineup. My only complaint is that Escobar isn't batting next to Mauer...
  6. According to Rotoworld: This happened a bit earlier than I expected, but Glen was going to have to land on the DL at some point. Now the Twins have to rely on the slumping Jepsen and May in late inning games... plus, I'm not sure if Taylor Rogers is ready yet. I saw him in a couple Spring Training games and he got hit pretty hard.
  7. Did you watch those first games last year? Sure, they won one, but they got smashed in the other games. So far the Twins have had much closer games compared to 2015's beginning. The wins will come eventually.
  8. Everyone but Mauer and Escobar are under the Mendoza line... (not counting Nunez)
  9. If Escobar and Mauer aren't hitting next to each other in future lineups, I'm going to get ticked off. They are the only two getting on consistently. They have to be batting next to each other until one of them stops hitting.
  10. The Twins RISP must be astronomically low at this point. I wonder if it's reached the .050 range?
  11. Here's their chance... if they're gonna score, time to do it now.
  12. I was actually thinking the same thing... dang it, now they'll probably get Torii out of retirement and throw him back into RF.
  13. It's too cold to boo, apparently.
  14. Whoa, did Rosario just take a walK?! Wow, that's pretty rare.
  15. I sometimes find the crowd is quiet when the weather is cold outside. They seem to get more into the game once it warms up and also when it gets later in the game.
  16. Because the White Sox are enamored with veteran National League batters for some reason.
  17. Mike Berardino tweeted something along the lines of "Kepler's here to be on the bench". Well, so was Danny Santana in 2014. And he hit himself off the bench, so I think Kepler could do it too.
  18. Let's not overreact now. There's no reason to ship out everyone... but I will list some realistic candidates. No, Casey Fien does not count because he's much closer to a DFA than a trade. Nolasco - If he can stay healthy and pitch like he did against the Royals, then he could fetch a small return. That's a big "IF". Suzuki - Right now catchers are expensive if you want to trade for one. There just aren't many available. If Suzuki is batting well, the Twins could get a solid return for him Milone - With Duffey, Berrios, and May possibly ready for the rotation soon, Milone could be moved. Probably not: Plouffe/Dozier - I don't think TR is going to trade either of them. I like Dozier too much. I don't think the Twins trust Sano at 3B. They need to find a place for Polanco to play - so it might be down to Dozier or Polanco getting traded.
  19. On a somewhat unrelated note, Eduardo Nunez injured his wrist due to a HBP today. If he has to go to the DL, then I think we'll be seeing James Beresford coming up, as a few have suggested on this thread. If Beresford does come up, I wonder who will have to come off the 40 man roster for him...
  20. Wow. Didn't think things could get worse. Though, in hindsight, it's good that Sano got ejected because I don't think he catches that ball that Kepler got in RF. So that at least saved us the game...
  21. That was a great at-bat by Kepler. Rosario and Buxton better watch out... or Kepler is going to walk all over them. (get it? - "walk" -as in Buxton and Rosario don't have any walks!)
  22. Hopefully, because I really don't want to see Jepsen.
  23. That was not a strike... Rosario was not responsible for that strikeout.
  24. Just as you said, SwainZag, what else does Escobar have to do to bat in the top of the lineup? If the Twins want to score runs, just bat Mauer & Escobar next to each other so they can actually score some runs. Anyways, I think the Twins will win just because baseball is weird. Normally you'd say Volquez VS Nolasco sounds like a free win for the Royals, but any given Sunday... wait, that's a football term. Well, it still applies.
