    I'd like to state something about Alex Meyer - I really wanted him to be called up when he was on a roll last season in AAA. They never called him up, and that's what ticked me off. However, now that Meyer's command has declined and he's struggling to throw strikes, so I don't think we should call him up yet. We should wait until he gets more control before we send him up against major league batters.

    So much for Pelfrey out-pitching Milone in Spring Training. Yes, Pelfrey did pitch better in ST. ST stats don't matter, though. Pelfrey hasn't been a serviceable starter since (arguably) 2011. A move to the bullpen could save his career, but I guess it can't be helped now. Honestly, the best-case scenario here is if Pelfrey is so bad he gets demoted to the bullpen (after room is made via demoting Thompson/cutting Boyer). I think he can be a bullpen arm.
  3. Danchat
    ...And Boyer gives up the lead. Why do the Twins think that recycled Padres bullpen pitchers are any good? Boyer and Stauffer shouldn't be on this team.
  4. Danchat
    Mike Pelfrey pitching as actually expected.
  5. Danchat
    And then Shane Robinson with the RBI single! Nice stuff! We're gonna need a big lead with Pelfrey pitching.

    Finally, Santana gets a hit. Keep doing that, okay? Also, Joe Mauer is popping out a lot, which is unlike him...

    We sure do like to overreact.

    Hey, they had to pitch at some point in the season.
  9. Danchat
    For the past few seasons, the Twins have surprised me with their lackluster performances with the bases loaded. It looks like that pattern is gonna continue into this year...
  10. Danchat
    Time for some positivity, everybody! I think the Twins are gonna win today! We got the bases loaded in the 1st inning!

    "Trevor May will be recalled from Triple-A Rochester to pitch in the Twins rotation, according to a report from the Pioneer Press. The report cites a person "with direct knowledge," and says that May likely will take Ricky Nolasco's place in the rotation." Source - http://www.1500espn.com/sportswire/Report_Trevor_May_set_to_join_Twins_rotation041015 Finally, a step in the right direction for the Twins.

    What has happened to Danny Santana? It's a bit early to be concerned, but he hasn't gotten a single hit yet. I knew he was going to regress, but not this much...
  13. Danchat
    Hey, we're looking for a little positivity here! Stop it with the negative stuff!
  14. Danchat
    They're all getting fired if this continues. I'm not on the "Fire Terry Ryan" bandwagon, but there will be new plans if this futility ensues.
  15. Danchat
    Nunez has convinced Mauer to start hitting pop-ups, apparently.
  16. Danchat
    I doubt it. Our coaching staff has some odd aversion to Mauer never, ever playing catcher again.
  17. Danchat
    It's already 2-0 and they have the bases loaded. Yikes. I can't even think of anything clever to say about this!
  18. Danchat
    Rhett Bollinger ✔ @RhettBollinger Today's first pitch is scheduled for approximately 4:40 p.m. ET. We might just have a game.
  19. Danchat
    Something tells me that if he had a good outing, he wouldn't be having the MRI.
  20. Danchat
    I hope Eddie is ready for left field... And I hope Herrmann learned how to bat in Spring Training.
  21. Danchat
    I'm going to make a preemptive post here. Mike Pelfrey is going to throw 3 horrible starts and then get an MRI and get DL'd for the rest of the season. If we don't see Trevor May pitching soon, I'm going to get ticked off. We're already on the 7th starting pitcher of the season, so we should have a few young arms in the rotation.
  22. Danchat
    I was expecting you to say Mark DeRosa...
  23. Danchat
    1) Danny Santana 2) Brian Dozier 3) Brian Dozier 4) Brian Dozier 5) Trevor Plouffe 6) Kyle Gibson 7) Casey Fien 8) Casey Fien 9) None 10) None
  24. Danchat
    Wow, it didn't take long into the season for this topic to come back! So, the big question is Jeff Gray > Ricky Nolasco ???
  25. Danchat
    OK, that's good to know. Thanks.
