  1. Sanchez released to make room on 40-man
  2. The batter shouldn't get the benefit of the doubt. Until there are robot umps a pitch like that is never ever going to be called.
  3. Literally the rest of the game? I mean if he pitches a good clean inning he can give the Twins another inning or two? Honestly what are you watching
  4. The zone has been fine The pitch to Gregorious is NEVER going to be called. Santana missed his location by a foot
  5. He threw 23 pitches in the 2nd inning and gave up a run!! In what possible world is that "1 bad pitch"
  6. Hes thrown 65 pitches in 2 innings and you counted 1 bad one? Going to a 3 ball count on every batter is ok if they don't hit a home run?
  7. *And to make sure Berrios doesn't have the pressure of pitching in a tie game?
  8. Give me a break Molitor, Santana has NOTHING. How in the world do you leave him out there
  9. .239 BABIP in those 4 months...
  10. The Twins are 8th in the league in runs scored. They didn't need an offensive threat at C, they needed to stabilize their defense, and I think Castro has done that. I'm not sure how much this number actually means, but for what its worth, Castros "Catcher ERA" is almost a run and a half lower than Gimenez's.
  11. 11th in bWAR... +0.6 away from 6th, -0.6 away from being 20th I would agree most are interchangeable... and the Twins are not a team right now that needs major offense from C
  12. How many relievers do you think are needed for 1 game??
  13. Derek Falvey was hired 2 days after the World Series concluded. What do you mean acting gm?
  14. I mean his SB / CS numbers are literally THE reason to shutter the strategy. Like it is a huge negative to attempt to steal with those types of numbers. That's not really debatable. He was a horrible base stealer in the minors as well, fwiw
  15. Swinging at the 1st pitch when a reliever on the ropes can't throw a strike is... not something to be happy about.. Rosario has had a much better year than I expected, and is learning some patience at the plate. I do think he's one of the dumber / most frustrating players to watch. The throws to the wrong base, swinging at a 1st pitch in that situation, etc are extremely frustrating. Dave probably went a little overboard on his posts, but I agree with his sentiment to a degree
  16. I missed that game(s) so I can't comment, but I can't imagine he's any worse than the options in the poll
  17. Buxton was the top ranked prospect in the MLB draft in 2012. "No brainer" may not have been the right term to use, but I'm not sure if he should be given a ton of credit for selecting the consensus best player in the draft with the 2nd pick.
  18. None of the above? They are all terrible in their own unique ways. I am glad they seem to be phasing out Bert, but I don't think they've found a good permanent solution yet
  19. It seems impossible because they are not considered "small market" by any definition of the term, any of the numbers, etc.
  20. Have you seen Mike Leake pitch and looked at his contract? How does that make the Twins in any way better for now or the future?
  21. Because Justin Verlander has a no trade clause, I think its pretty simple
  22. The amount of people on this site who overreacted last year to how a 22 year old began his career shocked me at the time, and continues to shock me today. I think its the Mike Trout / Bryce Harper affect. They are the rare exceptions, not the rules
  23. Not looking for this debate, and it's definitely off topic. Ruth also only played against white people, for what it's worth. Hardly the level of competition Trout faces
