    And, inexplicably, with just 1 out to go in the game, the Twins get 5 straight hits (4 of them doubles) and 4 runs making this game 11-7. As expected.

    He'll be wearing #25.

    Our bullpen is so bad, I think I actually miss Anthony Swarzak. No, seriously. We need a long reliever (among many other bullpen needs).
  4. Danchat
    Turns out we needed to score with the bases loaded.
  5. Danchat
    Wait, so what happened to Torii's suspension? Is he appealing it?
  6. Danchat
    What? "Location/count-based strike probabilities"?! Never heard of that before! Using my very advanced and modern statistics, that pitch was 100% a ball.
  7. Danchat
    Looking at the bonuses that Stauffer was going to eventually get, it looks like the Twins signed him to be a starter. No, seriously. In Spring Training, they tried to stretch out Stauffer as a starter, but he pitched so poorly they moved him into the bullpen. Not sure what TR was thinking.

    I turned the game off right before this... I missed the best moment of the game!

    Finally, I can stop complaining. Well, Duensing should be DFA'd eventually, but I'll save my nagging for later. Anyways, the Twins proceed with a 8 man bullpen. We really don't need to, but OK... I guess whenever Arcia comes back to the majors, then we go back to a 7 man bullpen. Of course, that may not be for a while.
  10. Danchat
    I dunno, an outfield of Rosario, Hicks, and Hunter (eventually Arcia?) isn't that bad. Things were looking pretty bleak at the beginning of the season and now we're much better. I don't think it's quite time for Buxton yet.

    So if Rally Monkey wins the poll, uh... what does that mean?

    When trading players, you usually want to trade a player at his peak value. This would be like the Vikings trading Cordarelle Patterson right now. Oh, whoops, let's not make football references. But basically you never trade a guy while his value at the lowest. Give him time and be very, very patient. He'll come around eventually.
  13. Danchat
    Thompson will have to get in the line. Duensing and Stauffer are already in this line but they might be safe with their guaranteed $2M contracts.
  14. Danchat
    All these former Twins like to beat up on us... first Carlos Gomez single-handedly defeated us, and now Morales. At least we got to ruin one of Liriano's starts. That was fun.
  15. Danchat
    The Twins are always afraid to part with their players who are at the peak of their career with the Twins. If I was given a nice offer, I'd send Pelfrey away. Regression is going to come eventually, not just for Pelfrey but for the Twins too.
  16. Danchat
    And they said Nunez can't field.
  17. Danchat
    Thanks for posting this. Apparently I was very wrong. I'm OK with that.
  18. Danchat
    Yes, it's Jorge Polanco. His bat looks MLB-ready, but his defense definitely isn't. But hey! We need a DH anyways! We could add another should-be-infielder-DH!
  19. Danchat
    He's gonna get too expensive. He could easily get injured and revert back to bad Pelfrey. No thank you. We already have enough starters under contract. (Nolasco, Santana, Hughes, and Gibson are locks. Maybe Berrios will be a starter in 2016?)
  20. Danchat
    Can someone look up the Twins' RISP with the bases loaded? I swear we never get any runs with the bases loaded. We probably have a very high standard RISP and the league's worst bases loaded batting average.
  21. Danchat
    Meyer just became a bullpen pitcher. It'd be foolish to call him up so soon. Plus they do want to transition him back to a starter eventually (according to TR). Also, Tonkin did struggle, and even though he deserves more chances, I think we should see if Oliveros can pitch in the majors. He's destroying AAA for the 2nd year in a row. (and also, as I said earlier, Achter should get a shot too.)
  22. Danchat
    Thankfully our starting pitchers haven't gone off the rails yet. If they ever do, that's when our season will be in jeopardy. For now, the Twins should send Santana to AAA and bring back a DH - I don't care who, as long as it's somebody like Vargas, Kepler, Pinto, or even Daniel Ortiz. Just not Doug Bernier. The Twins need to part with both Duensing and Stauffer to open up room for another batter and bullpen arm. I'd like to see Achter get a shot to stick on the major league roster.
  23. Danchat
    You make a good point, but Rosario is hitting pretty well right now.
  24. Danchat
    Ummm, don't you mean Boyer "always gives up his inherited runners" savior?
  25. Danchat
    Thompson hasn't been that great, but Duensing has played much worse. He's not injured anymore and he's still bad. Give Thompson a little more time, I think he'll rebound.
