    Martin starting is not a bad idea, Martin starting in CF is a bad idea. The threat of Buxton's arm saves at least 2 runs, and he probably catches the ball that dropped in front of Martin because he (Buxton) doesn't need to play that deep. If Buxton needed the night off, Castro should have started in CF and Martin at 2B.

    They saw all these pitchers earlier this week, no need to wait/fall behind.

    Baldelli's "Get-away day" line-ups are infamous.....but so we're Gardy's.
  5. mnfireman
    Not many relief pitchers hold runners any more....
  6. mnfireman
    I loved Morneau's answer to Baldelli's question....

    So, even the game day thread gets turned into a "trade Farmer" thread. You guys need to get over yourselves and move on...

    Probably not, he needs 445 PA over the 89 remaining games; 5 PA/game. And Rocco seems to think Royce needs every third or fourth game off...

    No, 1 - 10 w/RISP and 10 LOB cost the Twins the game. Watching the replay, it looked like Lewis threw a sweeper to first, Santana just kind of kept drifting trying to track the ball.
  10. mnfireman
    Agreed. If/when he's brought up he needs to play every day.

    Another TD article where the author basically states it's time to DFA Farmer, nothing new here.
  12. mnfireman
    Bring on the defensive replacements, please...
  13. mnfireman
    Too late with the hook on Varland....

    But that was a nice HR-robbing catch. Poor throw, should have went to 3B, though I understand thinking he didn't tag up.

    Time to get Buxton back out there, Martin is not an OF, much less a CF.
  17. mnfireman
    Castro got him in the first game, he's 1 of 2 on base advances.....(still better than Farmer).
  18. mnfireman
    It was the same play. I am assuming Farmer went on first move, same as on Wednesday. Still not a good look.

    Sands = RH version of Thielbar....
  20. mnfireman
    A pitchers best friend....

    Would rather have Lewis in the field instead of Miranda, but at least he's playing.
  22. mnfireman
    A very non-Twins type move: https://www.mlb.com/news/jose-abreu-released-by-astros
  23. mnfireman
    Well, at least Lewis is up to starting 4 in a row instead of just 2 before needing/getting a day off....

    A lot of articles about releasing veteran players because of perceived lack of performance lately; does the TD staff/contributors do ANY research? Looking at the last 30 days, a pretty good indicator of present performance, shows that Vazquez is out-performing Jeffers, and it's not even close. The catching is split about evenly, with Jeffers gets additional PA's at DH. This same 30 day data also shows that Santana has earned the bulk of the playing time at 1B, and that Margot and Farmer are doing their jobs as bench pieces/spot starters. All of them have been the subject of recent TD articles calling for their release/DFA, or at the very least, mentioned as candidates for release/DFA. Everyone is entitled to an opinion and has their favorite players, but do not let this over-shadow facts when writing front page articles. Those opinions are better reserved for blog entries.

    There is no way he pitches 3 days in a row, especially after throwing 40 pitches between yesterday and today.
