    Concur 100% with implementing pitch clocks. It works out so smoothly in AAA and AA from the games I've attended. Admittedly I did not watch the game last night as it was past my bedtime, so maybe Maeda was working slower than usual? Fangraphs has a neat feature called Pace Calculator and I hate to break it to everyone, but Maeda is not close to the worst out there.... In fact, the Twins now have 3 pitchers in the top 25 slowest paced SP! Jaime Garcia #12 at 25.7 seconds between pitches, Kyle Gibson #14 at 25.4 seconds, and Jose Berrios #23 at 24.8 seconds.

    Maybe. And if that's the case, good luck to him in the future. I find it fascinating that a pitcher like 31 year old Mike Pelfrey was run out of town because he had zero upside. And nearly 30 year old Gibson is still advertised as having potential who deserves a long leash.

    Sure, every guy mentioned in the OP should be shopped. Will they actually get moved? Doubtful. I'd venture to guess Escobar because of the positional flexibility, and Rosario are the most interesting players other teams will call about.

    Dang, this isn't thrilling news. He's already lost a full season of development basically. I understand surgery is usually the last thing anyone wants to do, but I'm concerned that this could result in 2 lost seasons for him. Given the Twins' history of holding off on surgery only to require that same surgery 5-6 months later.
  5. Vanimal46
    Wait, I thought Jay was shut down for the year to get the TOS surgery. Now he isn't getting that surgery?

    Scary situation for our old friend Wilson Ramos last night. He was struck in the head by a broken bat and received 6 staples to fix the laceration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gca3HnFJcLQ

    In total, his stats in AAA so far are: 10 appearances - 12.2 IP - 2.13 ERA - 1.11 WHIP - 3 saves - 10 K - 5 BB - opponents hitting .209 against him I really do wonder if he's next in line to get a promotion.

    Haven't updated this in a bit, so I'm going to spit out a bunch of game log stats: 7/14 @ Lehigh Valley: 1 IP - 3 H - 1 ER - 1 BB - 24 pitches 16 strikes 7/17 vs. Charlotte: 1 IP - 0 H - 1 ER - 2 BB - 21 pitches 9 strikes 7/20 vs. Toledo: 1 IP - 0 H - 0 ER - 1 BB - 14 pitches 8 strikes 7/23 vs. Toledo: 1 IP - 1 H - 0 ER - 2 K - 0 BB - 21 pitches 12 strikes

    2 days in a row doing a "Failed (insert something here) Playlist" and it worked!

    The dude was on the DL and hasn't pitched an MLB game since May 28th. I'm confused how things lingered two months longer than it should have.
  12. Vanimal46
    Good luck to Haley. If it makes us feel better..... Miguel Diaz, who was selected 1st overall, has a 6.82 ERA and 6.33 FIP in 24 appearances for San Diego. Not like the Twins are missing out on a rock star here. Worth the shot, and glad that this situation isn't lingering longer than it should.
  13. Vanimal46
    I don't think it's that much of a stretch to believe the Red Sox called him up earlier than they planned. They're in freefall right now losing 10 out of their last 15 or so. Lost out on the best(?) 3B rental to their division rival, and they're getting below replacement value from that position all season long. Who knows, maybe they're still in the market for another rental 3B like the Eduardos (Nunez and Escobar)

    Per the article link below: "I’m not counting Devers at this point,” Dombrowski said on July 14. “We again think Rafael Devers is going to be a very, very good player. But I don't want to put it on his back that we're counting on him in a pennant race.” Sounds very similar to Falvey's quotes 1 start before getting the call to Minnesota. http://www.weei.com/articles/column/hannable-red-sox-could-regret-promoting-rafael-devers

    That's perfect!

    Jaime Garcia is going to look so dreamy in a Twins uniform! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bx51eegLTY8

    Derek Falvey is wondering the same thing about Atlanta's GM... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-Jt1jSimjs&list=PLF9XHjWCLCiFBdpQ54t0iolsKBTO_aaBV&index=135

    Let's pour our hearts out through music how we feel about the failed trade.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-jgiwvWLzg We can do better Atlanta! Give us another chance.... Oh you're moving on to another team?
  21. Vanimal46
    I would hope the window is open. Supposedly the White Sox are building a super team that will be ready in 3 years....
  22. Vanimal46
    The Red Sox call up top prospect 3B Rafael Devers to fill the glaring hole left behind by Kung Fu Panda. He's a top 20 prospect in the game on every list, and has less than 40 PA's at AAA before getting the call.
  23. Vanimal46
    Jose Berrios and his "Bugs Bunny" curveball is the feature story on Fangraphs' Sunday Notes article. Also, in the article: Good for him for extending his playing career far longer than most would have guessed.
  24. Vanimal46
    Clayton Kershaw has been off this year? Ummmm..... Okay?

    Didn't find the one for me this weekend.... Two I was interested in were adopted earlier that morning, and while another puppy was adorable, the shelter is afraid she will have neurological issues a couple years down the road . We'll keep searching for the right fit!
