    It's really a shame to those naysayers who criticize Meyer's time with the Twins. I would agree with the those who have said "he wasn't given a chance" - he wasn't. The time he sat between Rochester & Houston was enough to mess with anyone's head. You get stale. You get rusty. This kid has the right stuff to be an ace, for his sake, I hope he has success in California and the Twins maybe will realize how they jerked around a top prospect. We hate seeing him gone from Rochester and supported him more here than the guys did in Minnesota. Good luck to you Alex, your team and friends in Rochester hate seeing you go but wish you the best.

    I cannot believe what I just read about Alex Meyer! It took the Twins 28 days to put this guy on the DL?? We've had a guy who was hurling 99 mph, wasn't given a fair chance when he was called up (the Houston ordeal still burns me up) and now have waited 28 stinking days to put him on the DL??? How much more does this kid have to put up with? In order for a pitcher to succeed, he's got to take his bumps along the way. He never got a chance to prove himself and show us the pitcher he is. Come on Terry and Paul - you've got some explaining to do!

    Did Meyer just fall off the face of the earth? Is he MIA?? Anyone know what is going on?

    I was wondering the same thing. The poor guy, just waiting and waiting and WAITING! What will end up happening now that Meyer hasn't pitched in over a week, when and IF they do bring him in, I hope he is successful, but my fear is that IF he does come in and struggles, the forums will blow up and talk about how bad he was and right away say he needs to go back to AAA (where he probably should have stayed as he would have thrown by now) and run him through the ringer. IF he does 'struggle', I don't think I'd blame him. You've got to keep these guys on a schedule, keep them throwing. All of these days off just mess with their heads AND their throwing. I am really confused on this one...

    Was really excited when word was out that Meyer got the call up Monday. Time to give that guy a chance. He's been excelling in Rochester and looks like a totally different player than he was last year. Thought that he would have been put in Monday night. When that didn't happen I thought, "Definitely Tuesday night." Well of course, that didn't happen, either. While I am happy for Berrios - why can't the Twins figure out what they are going to do? If they knew they were going to call up Berrios and have him throw Wednesday night, why didn't they send up Berrios on Monday? Meyer could have stayed in Rochester, on schedule in the rotation, and already have thrown Monday against Buffalo (which he was scheduled to do). It has now been 9 days since he last threw and he has been just dealt a HUGE disservice by just sitting in the Twins bullpen wondering "am I going to go in tonight?" Gotta feel bad for the guy.

    Amen to that!

    Great comment..I definitely agree. If the FO knew that Berrios was going to start tonight, why didn't they just call him up on Monday instead of Meyer? Meyer could have stayed in Rochester and AT LEAST stayed on his pitching schedule. It has now been a week since he last threw. What a way to mess with a guys head! I hope that when (and if) Meyer does get to throw, that he is successful since it's been so long.

    I absolutely agree! I think they ARE messing with these guys heads. Why call up Meyer - 3 days ago - and then let his sit and 'rot' in the bullpen. They've taken him off of his rotation schedule and now he has just sat. Definitely thought since he arrived in Minnesota early Monday that he would have at least had a chance to go in. Thought we would have see him definitely last night but when that failed to happen...I am really wondering what is going on with the way the Twins are thinking. Glad for Berrios, but if they knew they were going to start him tonight, why didn't they send him up right away and let Meyer stay in Rochester where he would have pitched Monday night to stay on rotation?? Now it has been a week since he's thrown any innings! I do hope that when (or if) he does go in, he is successful.
