    Stewarts start is better, but again I am not feeling he is a legit prospect at this point. Gonsalvez is knocking at the door. In another post people are suggesting we should trade Lynn. Who would trade for him? We would literally have to pick up 10 million I would think of his contract...it's messy

    I think May can be a solid contributor. I don't think there is any rush. Right now we are riding a wave of a 23 year old, 22 year old, and a huge under performer who is may have figured some things out. I imagine Santana won't be ready to go in June right away either? I think things will play out by the time Santana is ready and eventually May. If our current staff continues to pitch well then we will have to think about May in the bullpen, which I am not in favor of. If anything we will have excellent depth.

    I a fan of Garver, as I think his bat will play well enough at the big league level. I am also not worried about his arm, as he appears to be ok there. I am concerned about the rest of his catching skills, and am hoping he can work through those. If he can get to average behind the plate and a plus bat, that will be just fine.

    Nobody has been more critical of Gibby than me. Although, I am not willing to say he has fully turned the corner and is ready to be a staple of the rotation, I have been impressed with his improving stats and demeanor. All very positive. I hope it continues as starting pitching depth...well assuming Lynn becomes not awful, when was the last time we had this kind of starting pitching depth?

    It was a weird game, I felt like there was a lot of chances for the Twins to blow it up, but after recent events I was waiting for bad things to happen when they the sox had so many runners on base. Who cares? Twins win!

    Nothing on Rooker? Is he ok?

    Slegers is a nice depth guy to have in AAA. He still strikes me as a AAAA pitcher. Doesn't miss a lot of bats. Maybe as a long relief guy, when Hughes more than likely fails. Glad he's pitching well, but with Santana, Gonsalvez and Trevor May all probably available sooner than later, I think Slegers is good where he is right now.

    It was a good start, and gives us hope. Still concerned about the RISP on our team. Not getting the big hit, instead relying on ground balls and walks to drive runs in. Hopefully seeing the ChiSox will cure what ails us.

    Besides his hollow hitting streak, Dozier has not really done anything since the first week...c'mon baby!

    It was very "Eddie" R like...

    effectively wild, I know I would not be comfortable up there...not with that heat.

    No, none, zip, 0, never, nunca

    Once Pillar stole 2nd, well Curtis started to have that deer in headlights look, and it got worse. I like his arm, but wow that was a meltdown

    Win or lose this inning will require you to plug your nose

    Am I right in thinking that Rodney has one clean inning the whole year, so far, and that was his very first appearance in Baltimore in which he got a double play?
  16. rghrbek
    Twins have 6 more outs to get...I am not sure how that happens
  17. rghrbek
    Twins have 7 more outs to get...even with Reed in right now, I am not sure how this happens

    Couldn't we kinda see this coming with Sano? His impatience at the plate was really starting to show last year before he got hurt. I believe he was swinging at pitches outside the strike zone at a mid to low 20 percentile in April (when he had a ton of walks), and then got really bad before he got hurt (40%). That was alarming last year. The trend continues this year. He has become the new Eddie R! Troubling.
  19. rghrbek
    Lefty's are going to continue to punish the twins until Buck is back, and becomes better at the plate. Sano's 50% K rate does not help. It doesn't look like he has a plan up there. I would never throw him a fastball. Bad series with some predictable outfield struggles with Robby and our center fielder missing the cutoffs. We are going to have to ask Berrios and Ordorizzi to get us back on track.

    Or striking out looking...

    Lynn coming out for the 7th, is pretty weird. Strib insinuated that Molly wanted him to get more innings. If true that is flawed thinking. I am more concerned about Molly's bullpen usage. Not so much last night, as the order he threw the pitchers out there was per the plan in the off season. More so how he has used Duke Duke was decent against righty's last year. I believe that was his only year that he was good in that matter. I think we can all agree let's slow down trying to have Duke pitch against multiple right handed batters. Molly has just given him the 6th or 7th inning no matter who is batting. That has to stop. I am also fearful that if Rodney (who has one clean inning in all of his appearances and I think that was a double play ball when he came in w/ runners on base) continues to pitch poorly that they don't wait for him to get better into June. Same with Duke. I also see a trend of not pinch hitting for Castro with Garver, very late in games or in extra innings. Seems he has the same fear that Gardy did of being stuck with no catcher on your bench, which is silly.
  22. rghrbek
    Do we know how MiLB is treating stats in the 10innings and beyond? If a pitcher comes in, in the 10th and gives up a hit, does that run count agains his ERA? I am not sure that is fair.
  23. rghrbek
    2 games in a row where Rosario catches a break. That called ball not only was strike 3, it was not even borderline! Next pitch...bomb. We'll take it.
  24. rghrbek
    The big difference in this comp as pointed out is CF vs 2b...such different value for elite players. However Dozier is off to a hot start which he rarely has done so that bodes well for him. I prefer to let this all play out because of our depth. Dozier will get a 5 year deal from someone, maybe...we will see. If the Twins offered him a 3 year 60 mil deal and he bit I would take it, the problem is he won't bite. I will be shocked if in the offseason he gets 20+ mil a year though. Just my thoughts.
  25. rghrbek
    This, in my opinion is the overlying factor. Also some of baseballs unwritten rules are tiring. Bottom line is our starting pitching was great and at least right now Baltimore is a bad bad hitting team
