  1. Can you explain what it means that the DBacks sold Toussant and the Braves have been trying to do that this year?
  2. Yes, Berrios pitching today, Milone tomorrow, and an off day Monday. No SP listed for Tuesday.
  3. When Terry Ryan says "I'm in this with [Molitor], we're joined at the hip. Nobody is pointing fingers around here. I've got to do a better job. The club's got to do a better job."...I can only imagine how bad it will get when the fingerpointing starts!
  4. I think May has a plan: to get demoted to AAA and then move into the rotation there.
  5. No, I meant he has the potential to turn into a really good...oh, never mind.
  6. I think Polanco has the potential to be a player on this team.
  7. Twins record by 10's: 1-9 5-5 2-8 2-8 I think we can all agree that 91-71 would have been a very good result for the Twins. That's a .562 win percentage. To get back to .500 for the year, they would have to go 71-51, or a .582 win percentage. I'm fairly certain we can stick a fork in this season.
  8. Is the Whiffle Bat promotion that the Twins are advertising a commentary by the PR Department?
  9. I think you underestimate the TD GT community.
  10. Is there an "un" post of the thread nomination form?
  11. Carlos Santana, Jose Bautista, Joe Mauer (for a while, anyway) all lead-off hitters. Interesting.
  12. On the bright side, it's going to be hard to get swept in a four game series.
  13. Berrios is not among the listed starters through Saturday either. So either he starts Sunday on five days rest, or Meyer pitches Sunday and Berrios sits for at least 7 days (Rochester is off Monday).
  14. We need a new term for the way the Twins lock players into roles that don't maximize their value. It's kind of like getting Wally Pipped. Pelfrey whines about going to the pen, so May goes there never to return. Plouffe is a good guy and they sign Park, so Sano goes to the OF. Meyer is in limbo right now, but they've already voted once on moving him to the pen. Paul Molitored? Terry Ryaned? Maybe May got Tall Rylitored?
  15. Can Joe win a gold glove? I'm awarding him a gold glove for today, at least.
  16. CJ Nitkowski actually coached my nephew's team in an Atlanta suburb for a couple of years. Interesting to learn he is now a broadcaster.
  17. No, but in retrospect, this season was bound to be fairly negative as soon as they brought in Abad pitcher.
  18. This game is a good opportunity for Jepsen to put some of his early season struggles behind him.
  19. Giving way to Ryan "Elvis" Pressly. Ha! Ps this is the greatest game thread ever
  20. I like your optimism, but I think you are underestimating them.
  21. After reading this game thread, I've noticed that a lot of the regular posters really have away with words.
  22. Meyer had been one of the Twins top (1-2) pitching prospects for years, who was acquired by trading away a stellar CF. He dominated in 2014, while the team was terrible, and yet never got an inning in the bigs that year. He came into 2015 ranked as a top 30 prospect in all of baseball. His dog dies (literally, his dog died), and he starts the season with 8 lousy starts (what was his BABIP during those starts?), and then he is demoted to the bullpen. He gets called up, finally, to the bullpen, and is given 2 appearances (2.2IP) before being demoted back to AAA. And then this year, which hardly needs rehashing. I stand by it...I think it has been three years of questionable decisions on his development and usage.
