  1. Well they know that the Twins CAN BEAT THEM in Target Field and have come close in Yankee Stadium. They've got to be nervous about that.
  2. yes i agree. I am not a fan of Molitor, but last night he did alright.
  3. Colon has failed to reach 90 pitches in each of his last 4 starts. He's also lost 4 in a row and his ERA has been 6+ since joining the Twins and he's trending the wrong direction again and badly (was 8.19 era when he joined them). Not sure why this is even a discussion at this point. You have to go with Meija as the 4th starter. If they want to keep him on the roster, fine... back up starter, limited reliever or mop up in a blow out but that is all. Cleveland would destroy Colon.
  4. If by some miracle the Twins survive Yankee Stadium and move onto Cleveland, the Indians would DESTROY Colon. Why forfeit a game when you don't have to. Not opposed to him as bullpen help, but starting? NO WAY!
  5. I'm not surprised. The umps at Yankees stadium always give them the hometown advantage...ALWAYS!
  6. I can't stand watching the horrible free swinging Rosario. He's easily replaceable. TRADE HIM!!!!!! Trade him for pitching already! LOL
  7. Agreed. Slegers situation though is a bit ridiculous in my opinion. What does this kid have to do in the minors to get an extended look? Gee fringe major league starter at this point.
  8. I think Zack Littel earns honorable mention as well next to Thorpe. Guy has been AWESOME this year over three different affiliates at 18-1. All the folks whining about selling Garcia should really take a look at this guys stats and this could end up being a HUGE steal for Falvey and Levine.
  9. The impression i get is that this front office feels they have to try EVERY veteran regardless of how awful they are before using a youngster with upside. And Molitor might have a hand in that decision making too.
  10. So the almighty Nick Gordon, shortstop of the future for the Twins has stumbled and fallen flat on his face. Perhaps he isn't the prospect we thought he was once going to be. OMG hold your breath and pray.
  11. Okay.....Well they lost 3 of 5 to the White Sox, worst team in baseball. And dismantled a very good D-Backs team? You mean the team that lost 93 games last season, 83 in 2015 and 98 in 2014? Hasn't had a winning season since 2011. Yeahhhh.....
  12. Ugly Ugly Ugly! This team is a mirage. This was a good ole ass kicking by the White Sox. My hat off to them. They made this team look like a bunch of schmucks.
  13. Yeah and Gibson's start against the Sox was a mirage. On any other night he would have gotten rocked and had another short outing. He got lucky the other night. I still think he's DFA material.
  14. I'd like to see Gonsalves AND Aaron Slegers called up. Slegers is having a FANTASTIC season in Rochester. 13-4, 3.18 era, with 97 strikeouts, 6.7k per 9 over 21 starts. Gonsalves had an equally impressive season in Chattanooga. 8-3, 2.68 era, with 96 strikeouts, 9.9k per 9 over 15 starts. I know a lot of people doubt Slegers stuff but i think this kid can pitch.
  15. I'd like to see him get another two starts. A lot of that could have been nerves the other night. After seeing what Berrios has done this season after his disastrous debut year in 2016, I'm willing to take a longer look.
  16. Your right. And i agree with what you are saying in principal. There is no problem with having a voice at the place of work, but Dozier's comments were inappropriate and out of line IMO.
  17. empowerment is not the same thing as dissension and insubordination.
  18. To be blunt and to the point. Yes and no. Mauer is what he is at this point but he's trying. Brian on the other hand, just shut your pie hole already and play ball. When your no longer playing and in a front office management position then you can talk. Until then, sit down and shut up.
  19. All of this is good and dandy but he still needs to be traded now...he will never amount to anything other than a 4th outfielder.....sarcasm Can't tell you how many posts i've read the past couple of months that he is the odd man out that he needs to be traded, that he will never amount to anything.
  20. Still don't understand why so many here were in a rush to trade Rosario when our clutch core hitters obviously are carrying the load and went 0-9 (Mauer and Dozier).
  21. Mauer batting cleanup? ughhhh. I'd rather have someone else hitting there that actually has some power and can do something else other than take a walk.
