    The Twins had the 3rd base dugout in the Dome and have had the 1st base since TF opened. Due to the site location, the 1st base side has more room.
  2. SweetOne69
    Yes, I believe it is 20 days (30 days for pitchers).
  3. SweetOne69
    The same thing was said about Arcia about 2 weeks ago and he had a setback on his rehab stint.

    Here are my 2 issues with Anderson and they are both subjective. First he seems to do better with other teams cast-offs (reclamation projects) than with pitchers that come up through the system. MLB ready pitchers that come into the system seem to have 2-3 good seasons before they begin to falter. And Home grown pitchers never seem to improve once the get to the bigs and start working with Anderson directly. The 2nd issue is that the entire staff seems to have an epic collapse all at the same time for a 2-4 week stretch every season. This usually happens around June. I know that every pitcher has their off days when nothing works right, but when the entire pitching staff goes through the same funk for an extended period every year that has to be on the coach.

    I agree. The conversation should've gone something like this: Gardy: I want Bartlett on the roster. FO: I understand you like the guy, but he doesn't look ready. We should keep him in the minors to see if is offense comes around.
  6. SweetOne69
    Darnell will probably make an appearance tonight. Since Deduno hasn't tossed more than 63 pitches this year, he is probably limited to 75-80 max tonight which hopefully gets him through 5 innings.
  7. SweetOne69
    A double header has the same effect as using an open date. I believe the rule is 20 or 21 games max between off days.
  8. SweetOne69
    While they probably released Bartlett to make room for Fuld, doing so would've required paying his salary. I believe that retirement eliminates our financial obligations.

    MLBTR reports that Mastro has been claimed by the Jays. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/04/mastroianni-designate-wilson.html

    The OP criteria was "starting the day" at or above .500, not number of games at or above .500 so the correct tally is 6. Day 1: Opening Day (0-0) Day 2: Home Opener (3-3) Day 3: Toronto Game 1 (6-6) Day 4: KC Game 1 (8-7) Day 5: KC Game 2 (8-8) Day 6: TB Game 1 (9-9)

    It may be just me, but it appears that Mauer is standing further away from the plate this year than in the past. Maybe that is why he not only strikes out looking on pitches on the outside corner but he argues the call.
  12. SweetOne69
    Why, when this thread started the Twins' were @ 3 and they currently are @ 4. Is the one day enough to move the target up by 2?
  13. SweetOne69
    No, he has to go on waivers 3 days before day 10. The waiver process is 3 days. He would have to clear waivers (or be claimed) before the 10 day DFA period expires.
  14. SweetOne69
    You are correct. I jumped the gun. I believe they have 10 days to do something with him after being DFA'd (7 days before they have to put him on waivers).
  15. SweetOne69
    Considering he is on waivers, if the Twins claimed him Oakland wouldn't have much bargaining power so it wouldn't take much in a trade as Oakland's only option would be to pull him back. If they did this then they would have to keep him on the 25-man or send him through irrevocable waivers and the Twins could claim him again and get him for nothing. If he clears waivers they Oakland can outright him to AAA. Then they would have the option of keeping him and can take trade offers from any/all teams that would give them more leverage. If the Twins don't claim him on waivers, then they have no desire in acquiring him.
  16. SweetOne69
    Yes, when they placed Willingham on the DL the recalled Tonkin so they are currently carrying 13 pitchers. With Bartlett and Arcia already on the DL, they added both Herrmann and Mastroianni to the 40-man and re-called them so they really don't have any ML ready position players left on the 40-man roster nor do they have room to added anybody else to the 40-man. So they had to add a 13th pitcher. At the time I was okay with it since the BP had to pitch a lot of innings in the 1st 9 games. But after the good starting pitching we got against KC, if they perform deep into games against Toronto, I would send down a pitcher and bring up Nunez.
  17. SweetOne69
    Herrmann and Escobar
  18. SweetOne69
    Well that was the inning where Bartlett scored from 1st (after being HBP) on Colabello bases clearing double.
  19. SweetOne69
    According the the Twins Website Bartlett sprained his ankle sliding home in the 6th inning yesterday.
  20. SweetOne69
    The most obvious one is David Ortiz, but that is mainly due to his home ballpark.
  21. SweetOne69
    While I agree that it is a small sample size, he has looked lost at the plate. He hasn't even be close to making contact with a pitch let alone get a hit. Also his defense in LF made Delmon Young look like an All-Star/Gold Glover in comparison.
  22. SweetOne69
    Here's the Twins Lineup: Dozier, 2B Mauer, DH Willingham, LF Colabello, 1B Plouffe, 3B Arcia, RF Pinto, C Hicks, CF Florimon, SS
  23. SweetOne69
    Pitch count wise he could've, but between the offense, the pitching changes and the long review he was sitting for a long time so Gardy decided not to send him back out.
  24. SweetOne69
    I'm not saying that I don't like this lineup, but I just don't like how they "rewarded" Suzuki for his 2-4, 3RBI opening day by moving him down to the 7 spot.
  25. SweetOne69
    It doesn't really matter if Opening Day is a National Holiday unless they make it a Mandatory Holiday. Companies don't have to honor/acknowledge most Holidays anyway.
