Matt Magill has put up really good numbers in Rochester so far. He's been awful when given a chance in the MLB, so I guess hopefully he's learned something. Do we know what type of stuff he has?
That's fair, but I think with Santana, most people realize this staff should give the Twins a chance to win each game. It would be nice if there were a couple more guys with the stuff that other teams would fear though, besides Berrios.
Well the Twins staff has the 5th highest walk rate in the MLB. Combine that with the 3rd highest staff BABIP and HR/FB rate and you've got pretty bad numbers at the moment. That should normalize I am hoping, especially the walks.
The Twins have the same amount of losses as the Dodgers and the Nationals already have 15 losses. This has been just awful to watch, but lets not overreact and say the season is over.
2 things: 1. Archer and Snell are very good pitchers 2. The mighty Indians got swept by the A's and then followed that up by losing 2 of 3 to the Giants last year, in July.
I assumed he was up there as the Designated Walker if this Rays pitcher has had control issues throughout his career, but he's basically walked no one (1.4 BB/9) in the minors. Max Kepler batting 7th in this lineup is ridiculous.
Maybe after a half year of starts at Rochester before coming up in the bullpen. I want Romero to be a starter next year, and he needs to build up some innings first to do that.
If Baltimore were smart, they would take that trade in a heartbeat. There's no way I would want the Twins to come anywhere close to making that deal either. I wouldn't even like giving up Romero in a 1 for 1 trade for a half season of Machado.
Playoff Chris Paul showed up tonight. Unfortunately, the one time the Wolves got scoring from their bench, the starters didn't do enough. This should have been a Wolves win with how bad Houston shot it. Missed opportunity.
