  1. Castro got him in the first game, he's 1 of 2 on base advances.....(still better than Farmer).
  2. It was the same play. I am assuming Farmer went on first move, same as on Wednesday. Still not a good look.
  3. Would rather have Lewis in the field instead of Miranda, but at least he's playing.
  4. A very non-Twins type move: https://www.mlb.com/news/jose-abreu-released-by-astros
  5. Well, at least Lewis is up to starting 4 in a row instead of just 2 before needing/getting a day off....
  6. 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.
  7. There is no way he pitches 3 days in a row, especially after throwing 40 pitches between yesterday and today.
  8. Wound up needing almost every hit and every run....a close 17-9 game if you will ;)
  9. MTV VeeJay (Alan) Hunter (Mark) Goodman called out on a wiiiddde strike 3
  10. Rocco will pull him before he faces the line-up a third time...😉
  11. To paraphrase, you can't win the division in early June, but you can lose it...
  12. Get-away day (for the Rockies) + facing a lefty = possible recipe for disaster (losing 2 of 3 to Colorado).
  13. I see Julien went 0-5 with 3 more K's, the kid is a mess. Might be time for trip to the IL for a mental re-set...
  14. Absolutely not. It kind of goes to show what the team thinks of certain players though, allowing some to struggle horrendously for extended periods of time while others are sent down despite success or short struggles.
  15. Or Covid, they seem especially triggered by Covid...
  16. If another team claims Thielbar, let them have him. At this point he is who he is. If another team thinks they can fix him, let them try.
  17. Oh FFS. Let's impose a mental limit on a player, reinforce it, and never give the player a chance to disprove it. Company line BS.
  18. Time to move on, and for those of you with a man crush, orMon béguin,he has never been considered a top prospect
  19. Putting Caleb Thielbar in to take over in the sixth inning, it couldn't be more apparent that the aging lefty was cooked. Time to cut bait, but that is not "the Twins way"
  20. So, Varland was at 63 pitches and cruising along, but was getting ready to face the line-up for the 3rd time, = time for a change. Thielbar absolutely imploded, but must be better than Varland on cruise control. THROW this book out and go with the way the game is playing out....
