    I'd take him on the bench over Caleb Hamilton, that's for sure.
  2. Danchat
    Everyone got ticked off when Duran-Lopez-Fulmer were used in the 5th-7th the other day... but then there aren't any other options.
  3. Danchat
    Here is my final 53 man prediction: Note that I'm predicting a few things here like a Jesse Davis trade, with a couple of waiver claims likely to come.

    Walk off walk! Good game, felt like we stole one, but we're going to steal a lot more to get back in the playoff race.
  5. Danchat
    I think it's time to stop using Megill in close games, he may have great stuff but he's very hittable. Not sure why Lopez or Duran aren't pitching the 9th, seeing that it's a one run game and they didn't pitch yesterday.
  6. Danchat
    Yikes, watching Cave whiff at a 48 MPH pitch out of the zone is cringeworthy.
  7. Danchat
    If that's the case, this is the fifth time hell has frozen over this year (5th time Ryan has gone over 100).
  8. Danchat
    I had a feeling Rocco would let Ryan go over 100 pitches - he seems to be fine with it when the game is out of hand in either direction. But when the game is close he gets pull-happy.

    Attaboy Celestino! The feast part of the feast/famine offense is here today.
  10. Danchat
    Bases loaded, no outs... challenge accepted! Boy, did we need Garlick back or what?
  11. Danchat
    For me, it's more about whether the front office should stick around or not... and if we clean house, Rocco goes too. Would the Falvine FO really stand to benefit that much from a third shot at a different manager? I think it would be nice to hire a veteran manager next time around, but I don't see the point if the FO is going to be on a very hot seat in 2023 - it'd be like slapping a bandage on a gaping wound.

    It is a massive leap, but we're talking about replacing Cave/Beckham with Julien, not doing something like replacing Kepler. Cave/Beckham have nothing to offer at the MLB level and there is a small chance that Julien could, and putting him on the 40 man won't be a problem. It's more a comparison of replacing a practice squad/backup QB who is starting with a rookie, since the starter is hurt.
  13. Danchat
    Can Julien play OF? Why not just promote him to the majors straight away, and if he struggles, then send him to AAA. We need something and he's hot, and will be added to the 40 man before December... might as well over the likes of Beckham and Cave!

    Negativity is fine, it just gets annoying when it's constant and clogging up the game threads. On a macro scale, I'm totally fine with it (personally I wish there was a bit more skepticism in the TD articles), but on a micro scale it becomes fatiguing, especially back when the Twins were playing well. It is a lot more understandable now that the team is playing like garbage. Even when the Twins were hot, it still felt like there was a big gap between the top 5 teams and us, now it feels like the chasm is monstrously wide. Not even some trade acquisitions that looked good on paper moved the needle...

    Valdez gets to go 7 innings and over 100 pitches, but Verlander in a no-hitter doesn't? Weird. If they can't score again - which it looks like they won't - then it won't matter what the pen did, and it will end up as a bad game. Rocco does seem to have the touch of death with whatever bullpen moves he makes, but Fulmer crapping the bed in the 6th rather then the 7th doesn't change anything.
  16. Danchat
    It's a good game when your offense has 2 hits through 6 innings?
  17. Danchat
    OK, those two runs were on Fulmer. Hmmm, maybe I need to extend my 'always bet on Yankees over Twins' to add in the Astros as well... it's starting to feel like it's a similar thing. I guess that's what happens when a mediocre team plays a dominant one.
  18. Danchat
    Was it Fulmer's fault that Beckham (who should not be out in LF) failed to catch that fly ball?
  19. Danchat
    Garlick is in today's AAA lineup, Larnach has not been the past two days. With how long Larnach has been away, he probably needs more time.
  20. Danchat
    Gordon reportedly left the game with dizziness.
  21. Danchat
    Hold on, they actually pulled Verlander? Everyone here gives the Twins so much grief over this, even when the one time they had a chance at a no-hitter they gave Maeda every chance to do it... and now this year we've seen both Kershaw and Verlander yanked early in a no-hitter situation.
  22. Danchat
    Well, we just fired our hitting coach last year and got a new one. I don't know if firing them annually is going to work, though what we're doing now sure isn't either.
  23. Danchat
    Uh... the best options I see are Chris Williams or Roy Morales. We really don't have much left, Maybe if we still had Spencer Steer they could stick him at DH and probably do better than this.
  24. Danchat
    This team doesn't have guys who can steal bases, the offense is built around slugging and extra base hits. They've underachieved in that department lately on top of being horrific in clutch situations. RBIs matter a lot more to me than SBs. As for allowing SBs, that has to stop. But I guess the bed was made when they committed to Jeffers/Sanchez at catcher with no viable depth.
  25. Danchat
    Aaron Sanchez selected and called up, Smeltzer optioned. Kirilloff to the 60 day IL is probably the 40 man move.
