    Had no problem with Cron getting thrown out by Puig the other night. 2 out, send him. This, however...the winning run on third with one out? Bad send, if he's out by that much.

    Pathetic AB from Garver. Zero reason to take that 3-1 pitch. Zero reason to think he's getting FB on 3-2.
  3. USAFChief
    meaning...Jake Cave truly was the player to be named later?
  4. USAFChief
    Into orbit!!!
  5. USAFChief
    Great play Cron, great play A-Ray.
  6. USAFChief
    We're being taunted by Yasiel Puig.

    Dobnak has a ticket on the first flight to Rochester in the morning, would be my guess.
  8. USAFChief
    Brad Radke.

    See? It took a little longer than 2 months!

    Swing at balls, look at strikes.
  11. USAFChief
    We'll always have May.

    Garver has a stone glove. Absolute concrete. The over/under on balls hitting his glove and not sticking when he catches is 3.5, IMO. I'd put it at 1.5 at first base. The last thing this team needs is to make the infield defense even worse. DH, sure.
  13. USAFChief
    Smeltzer made his own mess, IMO.
  14. USAFChief
    There's almost gotta be some issue with Garver.

    They do "KATOH" rankings on Twins Daily? Dang, I need to visit the minor league page more than twice a year or so, I guess.

    By that time there were already questions about Gordon's offense, Jay was already looking like a reliever at best, but likely a bust, and Zach Granite was never, ever going to be a MLB regular, at least on a good team. Zero power OFers don't hold onto jobs long. That's why I have trouble believing that was the ask from Pittsburgh. And another reminder why I trade minor leaguers for big leaguers at the drop of a hat. Particularly a big leaguer with Cole's arm.

    From the link: "The 2017 midseason KATOH+ projections estimate that Granite will contribute 6.8 fWAR through his six team-controlled MLB seasons, while Gordon will accumulate 6.3 worth of fWAR across his six seasons." And this is why I seldom visit Fangraphs. Zach Granite. I hope to heaven we didn't actually turn down that trade. That can't be correct, can it?
  18. USAFChief
    I'm gonna guess there's some medical issue with Garver. That makes the most sense to me.

    with wrist strain. Stashak back in the pen. http://www.startribune.com/twins-put-nelson-cruz-on-injured-list-recall-cody-stashak-from-rochester/530673561/

    $10M isn't a difference maker, but we're "well positioned" because they saved $10M?

    "Early runs change games." Witness the Twins starting pitching.
  23. USAFChief
    They were eating "boneless" wings?? Fully deserving of every ounce of ridicule and scorn heaped upon them. Those aren't wings. They're chicken nuggets.
  24. USAFChief
    Eddie Rosario has drawn 9 walks since May 1st. 6 walks since June 1st. 2 walks since June 16th, one of which was intentional.
  25. USAFChief
    I've been trying real hard to get behind Gibson. And to be fair, he's had some good games this year. But geez it's really tough to trust him. We needed a better effort tonight. Sometimes you just get hit, but walking the world, behind in counts, seemingly intimidated by Cleveland's lineup...very disappointing. Very.
