  1. I think is fairly obvious that the new management doesn't think as highly of the Twins MiLB RP's. That and the number of guys needing surgery. I like guys who can throw fastballs approaching 100mph, but are these guys throwing beyond what their arms can actually handle?
  2. My view is: once the debacle has started, is it good roster management to put in a rested Duffey or Rogers? A loss is still a loss, no matter how bad it is. Or, how about "Live to fight another day". Yeah, that didn't help me, either...
  3. Falvey and Levine's approach to the bullpen is what I kinda expected. Not to make excuses for them, but they had a late start to the season. At that point, and attempted patch to the bullpen was about all they could accomplish. That being said: Time to get that MiLB merry-go-round a rolling! Get some of those relief pitching prospects up for their auditions! And start digging into other teams MiLB's for starting pitchers. Twins pitchers need to start mirroring the growth/success of the position players. Or, Begone with Ya!
  4. Thanks for the frank assessment. Sometimes it's tough for me to see through the rubble.
  5. Well, seems like we have a completely burned out bullpen. If for no other reason than that, changes need to be made just for the sake of: Checking the MLB-ready status of the MiLB relief pitchers Begin jettisoning some of those non-performers.Of course, a better starting rotation would help a bunch, too.
  6. Jim Wiesner loved the game. And the game love him back. http://www.startribune.com/longtime-twins-clubhouse-attendant-jim-wiesner-dies/425188143/
  7. Absolutely. Very poor judgement in that last AB.
  8. I would have yanked Buxton because of that bone-headed at bat...
  9. Impressive concentration by Rosario.
  10. Mauer keeps it going! Geezzzz, what's going on here????
  11. DOZIER !!! hope Buxton was paying attention....
  12. The pitcher is falling apart and Buxton is swinging away.....
  13. Personally, I really don't see the Twins moving Duffey to the rotation.
  14. There's no such thing as 1000%. Geezzz, that makes me MAD http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mad-magazine_6300.jpg
  15. Berrios, Duffey, Rogers, Mejia... And I was kinda hoping for replacements coming up for Hughes and Gibson....
  16. A very simple (simplistic?) case for keeping Gimenez: http://www.startribune.com/twins-take-note-of-adalberto-mejia-shaking-off-catcher/424852453/ With a young pitching staff, catcher is more than just a verb...
  17. I'm still a believer in the old saying "as the weather warms up, so do the bats". Give me a call a few weeks after the All Star break. We could see something special. Twins record: 12-14 at Home, 14-5 Elsewhere. Hmm..... Get Sano more rest. Somehow, find another Starter. Use the #5 spot for aggressive MiLB pitcher auditions. Now that Berrios seems to have it figured out, need to see if anyone else could make it.
  18. So, is TJ surgery the new 'right of passage' for Twins MiLB relief pitchers?
