    I think we do not have one. We have Odo on a comeback and we hope he will keep getting better, we have Berrios who should be, but has trouble getting a full season of quality, we have Hill who is on a once a month rotation, we have Bailey who is AWOL, and we have Dobnak who has nothing that you want in an ace except the ability to win.
  2. mikelink45
    let's bring up Astudillo so we have three catchers. I am not nervous about the HRs because almost all our pitchers have had a few leave the yard - I think Dobnak learns from it and becomes better.
  3. mikelink45
    I hope it does not happen. He is bringing joy to this season, plus stopping losing streaks.

    I had to pause a minute - it sounded like you were describing Odorizzi. Our staff of starters is a five inning staff. If Berrios got his act together he and Maeda can go a little longer, but long starts seems like a part of history - like complete games.
  5. mikelink45
    Please - get those pitchers here from St Paul
  6. mikelink45
    The lack of use of St Paul players makes me think that they all want to try free agency
  7. mikelink45
    Not excited
  8. mikelink45
    When do we stop talking about Dobnak like he is an aberration? My it is fun to watch him just trust his stuff and keep on pitching. And I do love defense.
  9. mikelink45
    any thoughts that Berrios might be suffering from too much coaching? Sometimes a player like Berrios can be trying too hard to correct minor flaws and then he loses the natural rhythm that is needed. I see Berrios as a person who may try too hard.

    I love the guys that can't be quantified - they just win.
  11. mikelink45
    Not ready to buy into the team yet. Berrios has lost his status and our number one, Jake Cave is still living off one grand slam and not much else - but they will not bring up the prospects - why?
  12. mikelink45
    I am fascinated that TD had an article about whether Dobnak is feasting off bad teams. The article should have been about Berrios and his inability to stop teams good or bad. He is by far the most disappointing player in 2020. The second is Cave - he had a GRAND SLAM early and thus his is an excellent fourth OF. Give Kiriloff or Larnach a chance. This is ridiculous.

    I love the seven innings. No way would I go to a double header with nine innings each in this time of bloated games. I am not in favor of spending 9 hours at the ball park eating and drinking over priced items. When we took our annual trip to Milwaukee to see the Braves in the 1950s a game took 2 1/2 hours. We could enjoy the game, the zoo, and dinner and it was a great day.
  14. mikelink45
    How has Berrios performed against the same teams? Dobnak is not an Ace, he is just dependable and that is really nice. I wish the others had his consistency.
  15. mikelink45
    Hope Stashak on IL is just a convenient assignment. Still want to see some St Paul players on the roster. So long Guerin.
  16. mikelink45
    I am more interested in having them dip into the St Paul thirty than to trade. At this point trades will be more about economics since free agency is going to be a crap shoot this year.
  17. mikelink45
    how about using romo and rogers on alternating days? The same with May and Duffey. Using your best four on the same days makes no sense to me. With Clippard in the mix and Stashak too we can afford to alternate and rest our relievers without going out to trade for someone else.
  18. mikelink45
    I want them all, but Kiriloff should be first, Rooker second. We have plenty of pitchers and if we send out a couple relievers and bring in a couple of starters we can actually have a bench.
  19. mikelink45
    This was a game that we can love in all phases. We broke the string of early scores and then nothing. Now let's break the next issue and break lose multiple games in a row.
  20. mikelink45
    Something changed on zoom. Now they want me to pay. Hate to miss these sessions
  21. mikelink45
    I have no support for the bullpen games - it impacts all the subsequent games. Get some starters from St Paul
  22. mikelink45
    And I read many of them.
  23. mikelink45
    I welcome comments about other teams. Sometimes I tire of the need to explore the same Twins issues each day and would welcome a daily article on another team - not even a team in our division, although - Detroit is only 1/2 game behind us! Love it.
  24. mikelink45
    This makes me frustrated again with the way the Twins are using the 60 man. We have starters there, but we continue to overuse our relievers with these foolish reliever games - I hate them. Now Rogers has proven he can't go consecutive days (again) and we have our prime relievers unavailable for today' game. WHY? Duran, Chalmers...Why not Balazovic, but he isn't even on the 60 man. We could start using Blankenhorn as the next utility man, or Gordon, or one of the others. I wonder how the St Paul group feels.
  25. mikelink45
    Bad umps don't excuse bad hitting and pitching. Adjustment is part of the professionals repertoire. We are only good for one early bat eruption, we do not have enough starters even though we have 60 men to choose from. No excuses - the Twins have to do better and so does Rocco.
