    Not against the Twins, no.
  2. Bangkok Twins Fan
    I was puzzled to see that Gabriel Gonzalez had officially "cracked" the majors. Huh? I must have missed that one, so I checked and saw that he did in fact play in one game so far. That said, will we see him called up again this season or not? Seems like we still have too many bodies in the outfield and not enough room or games left in the season to play everyone.
  3. Bangkok Twins Fan
    The only enjoyable aspect of that game was the pre-game cornfield rollout of all the Hall of Fame players. Fun stuff.

    Another terrific roundup of the minor league action. Keep it coming, Seth! I agree about the Twins signing Marquez to a minor league deal. Definitely worth a roll of the dice. As you noted he was already on the Twins' radar a year or two back, so hopefully there is something there the team can use. Zebby and Ober haven't exactly been lights out recently, and even Bradley's game yesterday was cause for concern, so even a so-called innings eater might not be a bad thing to have the final month.

    We obviously want Ryan back in action ASAP, but take your time, do it right.
  6. Bangkok Twins Fan
    Not so sure about that. Once Abel is healthy and pitching again I think the Twins are going to be happy they have him on the team.
  7. Bangkok Twins Fan
    Well, it's possible. I think Rojas has a lot of potential. once the Twins decide if he is a starter or a relief pitcher. But losing Varland still hurts. I think he will be pitching well for many seasons.
  8. Bangkok Twins Fan
    I was surprised to see Encarnacion-Strand was back in the majors again, this time with the Orioles, and annoyed that he homered against us. Just one of those losses. Hopefully our bats wake up in the next game.
  9. Bangkok Twins Fan
    I am still puzzled by the way the Twins are handling Rojas. Up and down from the majors to AAA and back again. and back and forth again. Is he a starter or will they end up putting him in the bullpen? I think it would help his development if there was a consistent plan for him.
  10. Bangkok Twins Fan
    Draft lottery odds already? I love it!
  11. Bangkok Twins Fan
    It's a race to mediocrity!
  12. Bangkok Twins Fan
    I agree, None of us common folk have any true insight as what is going to happen. But at this point I am very pessimistic there will be a complete season, or even a partial on
  13. Bangkok Twins Fan
    It's looking like next year may not even happen.
  14. Bangkok Twins Fan
    Actually, that is quite likely to happen.
  15. Bangkok Twins Fan
    I think the Twins need to keep Jackson, not only because his production has been good this season, but also because we are one injury away from another catching crisis. I think he's a valuable backup, and one that COULD be a starter if needed.
  16. Bangkok Twins Fan
    Well, we added two quality arms to the bullpen, didn't trade away any starters, and we are still sniffing around the .500 mark. Time for a long winning streak! Man, if he have a healthy Ryan AND Buxton for the final two months, and if guys like Lewis, Larnach, Jeffers and Keaschall keep playing like they have been lately. this team certainly could be a playoff dynamo.
  17. Bangkok Twins Fan
    At least you didn't mention bringing back Kepler.
  18. Bangkok Twins Fan
    Good take. And honestly, that's all I can hope for at this point. If we somehow miraculously win the division I'll be bringing my old homer hankie out of storage.
  19. Bangkok Twins Fan
    Lewis has a hit in eight straight games and has looked less hopeless than a few weeks ago. His eighth-inning homer was key, of course, but he also nearly homered off of Kirby in the fourth after singling in the first. I also noticed the recent Lewis hitting streak. He is steadily climbing out of the offensive hole that he was in to start the season and finally showing more consistency at the plate. If he can take it up another gear while Buxton is out, that will be a huge help to the Twins. Plus, Keaschall is also hitting better lately too. Now we got to find a way to score more runs and not keep losing these games by one run,
  20. Bangkok Twins Fan
    That is the dilemma. As you noted, Larnach would get us a much better return than Bell, but Bell has been a steady RBI machine most of the year, plus I like his veteran presence in the clubhouse. I also think Jenkins is ready, but we have to be prepared for some initial struggles if he's called up this month. No easy decisions.
  21. Bangkok Twins Fan
    Larnach is having the best year of his career but many people are starting to think he's some sort of superstar or something. Think back about four months ago, when most people on this board were willing to trade him for a low level prospect, or pretty much anything. I'd trade him while his value is as high as it may ever be.
  22. Bangkok Twins Fan
    A bit surprised to see Laweryson DFA'd. He pitched pretty well in his limited time with the Twins.
  23. Bangkok Twins Fan
    Unfortunately, there are indeed several good ex-Twins arms out there.
  24. Bangkok Twins Fan
    Another informative and detailed roundup of the minor league games. I love this stuff. Thanks, Seth! Finally getting to see Lackey and the other draft picks in some real games. Fun times.
  25. Bangkok Twins Fan
    Heck, he also struggled in AAA with the Seattle organization earlier this season, I think they granted him his release, and then somehow, some way, he has found his mojo again in Kansas City. I'm happy for him. But obviously not happy that he beat the Twins.
