    A: They've played a lot of day games.
  2. Shaitan
    All the STL press talked about with Lynn was that he's "a personality." Hopefully we get to see some of that soon, instead of talking about all his bad outings.
  3. Shaitan
    Romero was already on the clock (40 Man Roster).
  4. Shaitan
    This reminds me of the bilateral leg weakness coverage again. A technically accurate description of an injury, but also one that warrants some overanalysis.
  5. Shaitan
    Clearly they just need to reacquire the leadership of Chris Giminez. I'm honestly not sure if this is a joke or a serious post.
  6. Shaitan
    7 RBI for Wilson seems pretty solid, considering he hits 90th and has like 50 AB. He's not a good hitter, but does this mean he's doing okay with RISP?
  7. Shaitan
    I'm usually baffled by Molitor's bullpen use, but in my non-scientific observation, Pressly is far more effective as a one-and-done pitcher. When he pitches multiple innings it seems like he falls apart.
  8. Shaitan
    Not a chance. I'd half listen if they threw is some prospects. Can't miss prospects usually miss: D'Arnaud, Swihart, Schwarber...no thank you.
  9. Shaitan
    Too bad they can't get their comp pick back if they cut him. I wonder if anyone would risk trading a 3rd rounder for Lynn as a reclamation project. The Twins would break even. Also, they'd be a .500+ team without the games Lynn has started.
  10. Shaitan
    I doubt they put him under for surgery below the waist. They usually just put up a screen during any surgery. Based on the Press article, I got the impression they asked him about it as it happened.
  11. Shaitan
    A part of me wonders if they'll cut Lynn before Hughes, due to the 1 year contract.
  12. Shaitan
    But what happens if you don't have any relievers that haven't gotten much work lately? What happens when they're all being used, such as 2 weeks ago after the Puerto Rico games? Then they're stuck making changes to the 40-man roster based on immediate necessity, which usually means journeymen. You have the right to disagree, of course, but I do think a mop-up pitcher is a vital role. Don't waste your core reliever arms on meaningless innings. They can get extra work in the bullpen. Anything can happen in a live game (e.g.: injury).
  13. Shaitan
    While I think Hughes is likely cooked, I don't think a mop-up reliever whose has the stamina for 3+ innings is a wasted roster spot. We saw what happens during the post-Puerto Rico stretch when you don't have that guy on your roster: musical chairs. Hughes isn't pitching now because the Twins are playing close, good games. His role is for blowouts. Blowouts happen to every team, contending or not. If they happen 2 days in a row and you don't have a Hughes-type it causes problems.
  14. Shaitan
    I'd rather have the injuries now and over with before the All Star Break than during the stretch run. Let's hope everyone is healthy and on a roll by July. Few players play 140+ games/year these days. Let's get the injuries out of the way early. \optimism
  15. Shaitan
    I "watch" more Gameday than real live feeds sadly, but it seems that Rodney throws like 80% of his pitches for strikes every time he's out there.
  16. Shaitan
    I'm pretty sure players aren't paid during drug suspensions.
  17. Shaitan
    I haven't seen Morrison much, but from what I've read he's a below average 1B, right? It's hard to complain about losing a 1-0 game with zero earned runs scored. These things happen. Though I'd rather see hits, of course.
  18. Shaitan
    Let's just appoint Mark Beurhle as the next commish.
  19. Shaitan
    They may as well add time clocks, players who only play offense, and one-game playoffs while they're at it.
  20. Shaitan
    Like two-sport athletes, I think this will briefly be a trend but will disappear the second there's a serious injury.
  21. Shaitan
    Of course I want everyone to be healthy. But I do think the Twins need this to see what Garver really is. The playing time is important both for the present and future. He's not looking good behind the plate, but is he making adjustments and getting better? If so, then it's a good sign. Unfortunately, you don't learn to catch MLB baseball by sitting on the bench or playing in AAA.
  22. Shaitan
    That doesn't mean he listens to them. He still holds rank (and, to add to the intrigue, it's possible those coaches were hired by the front office).
  23. Shaitan
    Or, I should say, Harper seemed serviceable to my 11 year-old POV after a couple of years.
  24. Shaitan
    Who eventually became serviceable. It takes repetition and experience. (The same thing I'm hoping for with Sano at 3B.)
  25. Shaitan
    Both catchers with big at bats? Gardy would definitely start 'em both today.
