    I’m still driving the Gonsalves bandwagon. A lot of people have jumped off over the past year, but I think you are bailing way too quick. He’s got a very impressive track record, marred by one down year (and now, injury). If you look at all the top pitchers in the game, you will find bad years. When he comes back, he’s going to start posting great numbers again. Still hoping he cracks the 2020 rotation, with high hopes that he is a real contributor.

    20BBs in 23IP is bad. Velocity drop is bad. 29Ks is good. (High fastball spin rate good, poor tunneling bad; thanks Parker!) Track record, albeit not too recent, is good. That the Twins pitching coaches want to get a chance to work with him, is good. Seems fairly low risk, decently high possible reward. Worth a shot. Hope it works!

    When does Buxton get back? The Twins need him.

    Hitting is in large part about confidence. Hitting a ball six inches off the plate for a game tying home run should help his going forward. Hitting the ball the other way also seems like a good way to get his mojo back. Also, watching that Pierzynski clip made me mad all over again. What a terrible call by the ump.

    We are all Stoffer. But I did peg the Poppen call-up.

    I just made my way through this entire thread. Some remarkable advice found in these parts that I wish I had perused earlier. Interested to know what takes are on some of the touted stocks on here like Nvidia, Shopify, Tesla, Disney, New Relic, Okta (and Uber, Lyft and Chewy as well) at current prices. I’m suspicious that the market as a whole is going to take a serious downturn. Winter is coming (and rates are low, so there isn’t much flexibility to mitigate a slowdown).

    I disagree about Cruz—I’d want him up in that situation every time. I do agree that Polanco should have been hitting away. They finally got a new pitcher, a guy who walks guys—-take your cracks at him! Hopefully Rocco learns a lesson from that.

    This seems like a trick question. I’m not sure how best to answer it, but by the end of today, he may have 100% of the last three US Opens (and, perhaps more appropriately, be 50% of the way towards a consecutive grand slam.)

    When they finally get around to instituting an automated balls and strike system, Angel Hernandez will be argument #1. Or #1A (Joe West.)

    I’m just not clear why Williams Astudillo is texting Tanner. And for some reason I read it as “run over a human baby every fifth game”, which would have been only a modest proposal, but may have been swiftly misinterpreted.

    There is nothing consistent about these posts at all. They keep changing. The bombas just keep on coming.
  14. AlwaysinModeration
    Bombas. Bombas.

    I found it interesting to read through the discussions from the draft when the Twins took Tyler Jay, in particular, the Benintendi thread. He was one of the fastest riders in the draft, and my question at the time was how a kid could really change their outlook in one spring season? Obviously, the late helium for Benintendi was correct, he had turned a corner or really started to show who he was. For Cavaco, I’ve read that he didn’t appear in a lot of the big prep showcase events last summer (Area Code Games and Perfect Game Showcase) and so wasn’t on people’s radar until quite late. Thus the late rise in his stock. Here’s hoping that his value continues to rise as he starts his pro career. Will be interesting to watch his performance compared to the other kids in the draft, in particular prep kids who went before him (Witt, Greene, Abrams, plus Carroll after him) and others considered possible Twins’ picks like Langeliers, Jung (drafted before Cavaco) and Stott (who the Twins passed on).

    I, personally, am glad that EE is not on Cleveland any more. And also that the Twins beat the Mariners even despite giving up a 3-run bomb to him. Hope they can contain him today and tomorrow at least a bit. I think Perez is alright. Certainly plenty good for a fifth starter for now. May came in with the smallest of margins, and worked out of a (self-induced) jam. I’d chalk that up as a good outing.
  17. AlwaysinModeration
    That would be an excellent pair of pitchers to acquire. Would not come too cheap. Brusdar, Gordon and Cave?
  18. AlwaysinModeration
    I’d vote no on: Sergio Romo, Brad Hand, Shane Greene, or Tony Watson. I’d be fine with anyone else listed here, maybe in this order, not that it matters too much/ Vasquez, Giles, Holland, Diekman, Smith, Givens. I’d also add a couple of Reds guys to the list: Raisel Iglesias or Amir Garrett. No to Sean Doolittle—the Nats are only 6 back and coming on strong.
  19. AlwaysinModeration
    Buxton was feeling the pressure after Sano homered—has to keep his lead. Those two guys will join the double-digit HR parade soon enough.

    How about a slight tweak to the article title: Albert Pujols: Fading Superstar
  21. AlwaysinModeration
    I didn’t really think it through very much, honestly. However, I think 6-0 vs 1-2-3 is much more reflective of the current division standings than 4-2 vs 3-3.
  22. AlwaysinModeration
    In football terms, the Twins are 6-0 and have ten games left, including both games against Cleveland.
  23. AlwaysinModeration
    Twins year by tens 6-4 7-3 6-4 6-4 9-1 6-4 New set of ten starts today. Keep rolling, boys.
  24. AlwaysinModeration
    Interesting article on him on the Athletic. He didn’t attend any of the big showcase events, Perfect Game, Area Code games, so he was largely unknown. The Twins started going to all of his games this spring, 35 in all. They were really focused on him (which should be obvious that they took him earlier than he was projected.) We’ll never know, but wondering how many guys they would have taken AHEAD of Cavaco had they fallen?
  25. AlwaysinModeration
    I predict they only draft pitchers in day 3.
