  1. I've about had it with Rosario. I get that he's a free spirit and that's part of what makes him good, but he plays with his head up his arse way too much. I've also about had it with Taylor Rogers. The guy is just about incapable of having a clean outing. He gives up at least one baserunner in about 90% of his appearances since last July. Usually Hildenberger and co. bail him out, but not tonight.
  2. He had already used Grossman. But I still would have pinch run Adrianza and used LaMarre to PH.
  3. Is Yunel Escobar still a free agent? He would seem more useful than a 5th OF'er.
  4. Honestly, I will be surprised if there are protests. There really hasn't been much talk about this since the week the story broke. And of course MLB announced it in a Friday news dump. In any event, I don't think a short suspension "just because" would have flied with the union or done anything to assuage protesters.
  5. I'm surprised they didn't at least require some counseling. But I suppose they either had proof, in which case they would get blasted for going too light, or they didn't. I agree there are no winners in this. But given the amount of time that lapsed, it was never likely they would find definitive proof on this.
  6. Santana will be back by May 15th or sooner. I'll be surprised if Sano is suspended for more than 15-20 games tbh. There's almost no way they have any 'proof' of anything 2.5 years after the fact. Unless there are additional accusers, my guess is a short suspension and some community service etc.
  7. I was excited seeing he was available for about 30 seconds. Then I looked at his stats the last two years. Woof.
  8. 2/$25 or 1/$14. Get it done.
  9. I would tend to agree that there's very little productive to be said here. Normally, fans are inclined to want to believe the player in a situation like this. In this case, it may be the opposite. In any event, it's up to the Twins, MLB and the authorities to do, or not do what they see fit. All I would say is that those ripping Nick or others here need to stop and take a breath. If he was told about this a year + after it happened and asked to keep it private, what good could possibly come from telling anyone?
  10. Pass. Vargas should be primary DH with Sano DHing against lefties and Escobar playing 3rd. I have a bad feeling Napoli will lead to losing Vargas on waivers.
  11. It's been a long 7 years. Congrats boys.
  12. Don't start making assumptions now. The problem with having 3 teams now tied is it only takes on of them to run off a 7-1 stretch. We need to win tomorrow and take at least one in Cleveland before even thinking about relaxing.
  13. Garcia had an absurdly large strike zone last night and tonight we get squeezed. It's hard enough to beat the Yankees, but the refs always help screw us over. I watched the entire game on dvr fast forward, it's the only way I can tolerate watching Twins games at Yankee stadium.
  14. Mollie left Colon in too long. I know his pitch count was good, but he was getting hit hard all night. Should have taken the 6 innings and called it a day, or at most given him one base runner in the 7th.
  15. Glad to see them finish off one of these 9th inning come-backs for once.
  16. Disappointing. It's hard not to feel a bit snake bit. That's 3 times in the last 10 days now that we've come up a few inches short of a 9th inning come back. Meanwhile the Angels are doing it nightly.
  17. Terrible call. That aside, how do you allow Giminez to bat in the 9th (or the 7th for that matter)? You could easily have put Garver at catcher after the 7th since you inserted Granite anyway. Or you could have simply used Castro in the 10th if needed. Inexcusable. That's aside from the fact that you went with 8-9 hitters who had basically no prayer all day.
  18. This needs to be the end of Dillon Gee as a starter. Either Slegers or Mejia needs to take the next turn. And Duffy shouldn't have been brought out for a 3rd inning. That's on Mollie.
  19. Thanks for the blood pressure spike, Belisle. Very invigorating.
  20. Really wish Belisle was not the closer.
  21. Well 2 2/3 on a tidy 48 pitches. It's understandable.
  22. That's not Terry and I'm not a dumb-ass. Usually.
