    Don’t we hate it when Molly bunts?
  2. IndianaTwin
    By “Murderee,” do you mean our guys are going to get killed?
  3. IndianaTwin
    Yeah, like that.
  4. IndianaTwin
    Though sooner would be fine.
  5. IndianaTwin
    At the least, this at bat by Rosario probably chases Flaherty after the inning.

    5. Mother’s Day:The Kids and I took my wife out to dinner for Mother’s Day. Every time we go out to eat, she declines dessert and eventually grabs a spoon and takes bites out of mine. Now she is upset with me because I had her sign a binding agreement stating that if she declined her own dessert she gives up any claims to mine. How ticked do you think she’ll be when she finds you posted this exchange on TD?

    The best year of my childhood was 1977, so I remember many sign-ons with Herb Carneal and Frank Quilici.

    Thanks. My question was actually on the ground ball and whether Escobar should have seen it was going to be a tough double play and gone home instead to get the runner at the plate. I saw the play later and saw that going home would probably been an even tougher play since he was going to his left. I was able to listen and it was a great game. Both teams had a couple big plays they made and a couple they didn’t. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains.

    I was on the road, so I wasn’t able to watch. Should the Twins have easily turned the double play? Should Escobar have gone home?

    Der Defender!
  11. IndianaTwin
    Der Schlagger continuing to climb the ladder to reach Mike Blowers. The bigger challenge could be staying ahead of Aaron Altherr, who he now leads 41-32.
  12. IndianaTwin
    Aw, hands are over-rated.
  13. IndianaTwin
    Almost can match you. I was greeted by Buxton down 0-2. Guess what pitch was next.
  14. IndianaTwin
    I love it when Dozier flies out to Phil Hughes.
  15. IndianaTwin
    Whew. Thanks for putting the brisket part at the end of the post. If you'd led with that, I'd have ignored the rest of what you had to say.

    I'd welcome seeing any updates, but I was basing it on earlier language of "May or June" and "first half," plus that he threw 45 pitches in an extended spring training game on May 1. Anyone seen anything since then? I'm with you, though, in suggesting that particularly with the presence of Romero and if he and other guys stay healthy and reasonably effective, there's no need to rush May. The June 5 suggestion was a late addition to my note, and I'd guess it would take a best-case scenario for that to happen. At the same time, it could be a helpful checkpoint if he was approaching ready and the assumption is going back down for a couple more starts to ensure readiness. As helpful as minor league experience is, major league hitters have a way of telling you if you are major league ready.

    An injury WILL happen. It looks like May may well be ready before July. If an injury happens about the time May is ready, slip May into the five-man rotation. If it doesn't, go to a six-man rotation for a while. I'm guessing Romero may go to the pen at some point to protect innings, but I'd rather not see him go to the bullpen and then back to the rotation. But a six-man rotation would save a few bullets for him. It also eases May back in. And other than potentially Berrios, it's not like anyone from among Berrios/Gibson/Lynn/Odorizzi is so dominant that you have to keep them on a five day pattern to get them into as many games as possible. And then when an injury happens (or someone pitches themselves out of the mix), you're set to go back to a five-man rotation. And looking down the road, it may be a similar situation if/when Santana is ready, depending on who is healthy and pitching well at the time. Oh, and give Gonsalves the 26th-man start on the June 5 doubleheader and let him pound the door in to the rotation. (Or maybe June 5 is May's introduction to the rotation -- does a 26th man have to go back down?) By the way, how long until Mejia is available? (Isn't Twins Daily more fun this week than last?)

    I like someone's post from the game thread. With a day game today, each catcher is probably going to get one game. At least in the recent past, Wilson has probably spent more time with Romero and Garver more time with Odorizzi. These matches also pair young guy with experienced guy. So far, so good.
  19. IndianaTwin
    I'd still rather go in feet first and get there two feet quicker. Not to mention saving the hand from injury.

    The Fernando Romero (Much More Relaxing) Experience?
  21. IndianaTwin
    Is there an assumed innings limit for Romero? 90.1 in 2016 125 in 2017 About 150-160 this year? If so, what's the plan? The way things are going, I could see using him as a starter until he gets to about 125-130, which is probably about July 31. If the Twins are out of it, let him go to his max as a starter. If the Twins are still in it, move him to the bullpen and that's a pretty impressive trade deadline pickup.
  22. IndianaTwin
    Yes to his being a Giants fan first. But YES to his being annoying, and NO to your being the only one who finds him that way. I'm not a huge fan of "Intentional Talk," but it doesn't get the automatic <click> on the remote that "High Heat" does.
  23. IndianaTwin
  24. IndianaTwin
    Exactly. That was the part that made him annoying. But at least in that fashion, one could understand why a Sox fan could like him. I don't think I would, but certain types of fans might. But yesterday wasn't even that. He really didn't have any enthusiasm for the Sox, and he brought very little attempt to talk about the game. Crummy as it was watching one game, it must be a real bummer for actual Sox fans (like him or not) to put up with that for 20 games this year, particularly when having Jason Benetti (who I really like, despite him being the Sox guy) for the other 142.

    Had plans in the early afternoon, so I was watching the DVR version.
