    It's better than score a run, give 11 right back. Glass 1/10th full, my friend, 1/10th full...

    Jose Berrios 2:36 Am I a top 20 SP next year? Dan Szymborski 2:36 I like Berrios, but that's a bit aggressive joe 2:58 severino or berrios? Dan Szymborski 2:58 Severino http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/dan-szymborski-fangraphs-chat-53117/

    I still don't understand the Gimenez love from the FO. (posting during at bat)
  4. Mike Sixel
    I don't see any evidence they are falling apart. Houston is maybe the best team in the majors....
  5. Mike Sixel
    someone got a concussion in this "fight", so ya, someone is seriously hurt.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Fair, I did say it was probably irrational hope....
  7. Mike Sixel
    it has been updated.....but what if the runner behind him passes him, what fielder gets the put out?
  8. Mike Sixel
    Tonkin?
  9. Mike Sixel
    Er, inning 3?
  10. Mike Sixel
    so, um, at this rate, inning 4?
  11. Mike Sixel
    Until he reaches around 100 pitches, Santiago is in there, taking one for the team.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Not sure, but Neshak is 37......I'd like to see if Melo can give them 2-3 years of pitching. It's irrational, probably. We were talking about trading him for a 37 yo, with 4 months left on his contract, on a team I don't think is a real contender.....not hypothetically for "anything of value".
  13. Mike Sixel
    I don't agree. They were up 6 runs. Call on your "worst" bullpen arm to see what he can do. Of course, he didn't do that either.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    Can't get gameday to load in Espanol. Sigh.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I share your concern.....about all the RPs in the minors at this point. I'm hopeful this is some kind of "wait to mid season" philosophy, and also about Molitor asking for veterans.....both of which I hope "break" in the next couple weeks.
  16. Mike Sixel
    wow. At some point, you wonder if ESPN is looking at an age lawsuit.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    It was important Ruzcinski (sp?) come up for 1 game.....way more important than having Vargas here for 10 days.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I would not trade Melo for him, no chance. Zero. I would trade Palka, as I don't think he will hit enough, or field enough, to matter to this team (Buxton, Rosario, Kepler, Grossman, Wade, Granite, etc). I would be hesitant to trade Granite for him. I wouldn't trade anyone for him right now, as I don't think they are truly contenders still. If he's the third guy you pick up, after a legit SP and better RP? Sure.....Or if you are in first in July, sure.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Either I don't get that .... or staying with the same projection is improvement? did I read it incorrectly?
  20. Mike Sixel
    It wouldn't kill me, he's just not my top choice.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Melo, Granite, Palka.....guys like that. I think. Maybe 1 of those guys, and a low guy? Not sure.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I agree, I don't think they are screwing over Molitor, that's just silly. But, they've brought in like 5 pitchers, and all have been bad. Wilk, Rucinski, Breslow, Belisle, Haley (did I miss any?). At some point, you might want to try a different tac.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Can't watch the video at work....but if her colleagues laughed, they should be in trouble also.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I agree on the gimenez thing completely. IMO, this team needs to be setting up for next year....

    http://www.espn.com/blog/sweetspot/post/_/id/79921/your-team-is-in-first-place-but-is-there-reason-to-panic Article on what teams should be worried about that are good right now. shockingly, this author says the Twins should be worried about pitching! Did you see Monday’s game? The Twins led 8-2 in the eighth inning after another great start by Ervin Santana, only to see the Astros score 11 runs in the eighth. As good as Santana has been, he isn't going to keep his ERA at 1.75 all season. Still, it’s the rest of the staff that provides reason to panic -- both the rotation and the bullpen. As a staff, the Twins rank 27th in the majors in strikeout rate and 29th in well-hit average. They don’t strike many batters out, and they give up a lot of hard-hit balls. That puts a lot of pressure on the defense, which has been great. Mediocre pitching and great defense can work, and it could be that the Twins will play 2016 Cubs-level defense all season. Maybe Jose Berrios will step up as a legit No. 2 behind Santana. More likely, the Twins will need to acquire a starter and some bullpen depth.
