    Apparently Mauer needs more time off from first base duties.
  2. USAFChief
    yes.
  3. USAFChief
    I disagree on the above average catcher. He might turn out to be a decent hitter. I think the reason Wilson is playing so much is the manager doesn't like his catching either.
  4. USAFChief
    Call up Gordon. Don't care if he's "ready," you can't keep running out this lineup. Trade for a catcher, Realmuto is my choice. Bite the bullet. Should have added a RH hitting OFer over the winter. Might be too late now. So easy to see. Can't really plan for Buxton sucking, or Sano not being able to stay on the field again. But you don't have to sit on your hands and let the season fall apart.

    Also a shame that Kepler's single was inches from being a 2 r HR.
  6. USAFChief
    I expected that from Buxton. Not a major league plate appearance. Been too many of those. Grossman's tap back to the pitcher with no outs was bad too.
  7. USAFChief
    yup, that wsnydes is smart all right.
  8. USAFChief
    All this talk of the Dakotas made me think of the Sacagewea dollar coin. I wasn't a fan. But I suppose like most people, it's just that I'm opposed to change.
  9. USAFChief
    TIN FOIL!!! Hadn't thought of that. Thanks. Won't have to hose off the driveway later tonight.

    Dinner for Chief and Mrs Chief tonight will be: a shared ribeye on the grill, baked squash, stuffed shells, a salad from the garden, black box pinot noir. perhaps some Schwan's ice cream for desert.
  11. USAFChief
    Good start for Gibby. 4 seamers.
  12. USAFChief
    I wouldn't move him for Realmuto, either. But there are no guarantees with minor leaguers.
  13. USAFChief
    I'd say it's more his inability to pull the ball. It's very tough to hit for power as an opposite field hitter.
  14. USAFChief
    potentially passing. Lewis hasn't gotten out of A ball yet.
  15. USAFChief
    So the club might as well proceed under the assumption they will, and attempt to surround them with the appropriate level of supporting pieces. If neither of those two are stars, hoarding middling prospects does no good anyway.
  16. USAFChief
    perhaps adding players in the meantime will help with being in contention by August.
  17. USAFChief
    Go get Realmuto. No half steps. I don't think Garver is a regular MLB catcher.
  18. USAFChief
    who cares? and who cares? (besides which, there's a lot of money coming off the books next year.)
  19. USAFChief
    IIRC there are two losses already directly contributed to by Garver's defense. I don't think he's any kind of every day answer, and obviously Bobby Wilson is a stopgap at best.
  20. USAFChief
    Thanks, hadn't seen this. yuck.
  21. USAFChief
    Castro is out for the season?
  22. USAFChief
    14th game not starting at 1st base for Mauer, if my count is accurate. He pinch hit late and came in to play 1st late in a couple of those, I believe. This is game 39 for the Twins. Roughly every 3rd game.
  23. USAFChief
    Nice job, 'daddy.
  24. USAFChief
    Perceptions are hard to change. Morrison hasn't been awful recently. He was awful for the first couple weeks of the season. Last 28 days for Morrison: .266/.356/.481. 4 HR, 11 RBI, 12 RS. Slightly higher the last 14 days. By comparison, Mauer the last 28 days: .241/.359/.299. 3 XBH and 4 RBI in a month. woof.
  25. USAFChief
    He shouldn’t get credit for suspension time while on the DL.
